Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) auditions for them, but after singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You", he breaks down and says he can't play Danny, the male lead, since the musical is about love and his relationship with Kurt has been shattered. Finn tells Artie he's not going to direct, because doesn't know what he's doing, but Artie reveals that he's called in help in the form of graduates Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) and Mike Chang (Harry Shum, Jr.), who arrive and join them to help run auditions.
In the girls restroom, Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist) and Wade "Unique" Adams (Alex Newell) talk about the musical, and Unique reveals she wants to play the female role of Rizzo. Cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) overhears them and tells Unique that she's a boy, and can't get cast as a female. Marley defends Unique, and later the two audition together, duetting on "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)". When asked what roles they want to play, Marley asks for Sandy, and Unique for Rizzo. Artie is not enthusiastic about the latter casting, but Mercedes praises Unique's voice, and Finn pushes for it.
Without Blaine, there's no good candidate for Danny as Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) prefers to play Kenickie, Joe Hart (Samuel Larsen) refuses to cut his dreadlocks for the part and Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist) refuses to audition. Artie reminds Finn that glee club director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) had difficulties to recruit a male lead for New Directions before he found Finn, which gives Finn the idea to ask Coach Shannon Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones) whether any of the football players might be candidates for the musical. She suggests Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner), a sophomore who has recently transferred in. Finn approaches Ryder, who is struggling with his grades, and convinces him that glee club might help improve his studying. Although he is initially reluctant, Ryder later meets Finn at the auditorium, where they perform an impromptu duet of "Juke Box Hero", which turns out to be Ryder's audition song.

Sue objects to Finn's plan to cast Unique as Rizzo, and demands that Will and Principal Figgins (Iqbal Theba) intervene. Finn stands by his decision, but angers Sue when he refers to her daughter as "retarded". Sue becomes livid when she discovers that Unique was cast as Rizzo despite her objections, and more so after Will asks Finn to take over New Directions for him while he is in Washington, D.C., for three months, working on a blue ribbon government panel to improve arts education nationwide. Finn agrees to take over glee club and the cast list for the musical is announced, with Ryder as Danny, Marley as Sandy, Jake as Putzie and Kitty as Patty Simcox, much to her anger.
Will plans to bring his fiancée, guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), with him to Washington, but she's reluctant to go, and the two bring in Coach Beiste to mediate. Emma agrees to accompany Will, but Beiste realizes she doesn't want to, and later urges Emma to be honest.

Finn tells Artie he's not going to direct, because doesn't know what he's doing, but Artie reveals that he's called in help in the form of graduates Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) and Mike Chang (Harry Shum, Jr.), who arrive and join them to help run auditions.
In the girls restroom, Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist) and Wade "Unique" Adams (Alex Newell) talk about the musical, and Unique reveals she wants to play the female role of Rizzo. Cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) overhears them and tells Unique that she's a boy, and can't get cast as a female. Marley defends Unique, and later the two audition together, duetting on "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)". When asked what roles they want to play, Marley asks for Sandy, and Unique for Rizzo. Artie is not enthusiastic about the latter casting, but Mercedes praises Unique's voice, and Finn pushes for it.
Without Blaine, there's no good candidate for Danny as Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) prefers to play Kenickie, Joe Hart (Samuel Larsen) refuses to cut his dreadlocks for the part and Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist) refuses to audition. Artie reminds Finn that glee club director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) had difficulties to recruit a male lead for New Directions before he found Finn, which gives Finn the idea to ask Coach Shannon Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones) whether any of the football players might be candidates for the musical. She suggests Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner), a sophomore who has recently transferred in. Finn approaches Ryder, who is struggling with his grades, and convinces him that glee club might help improve his studying. Although he is initially reluctant, Ryder later meets Finn at the auditorium, where they perform an impromptu duet of "Juke Box Hero", which turns out to be Ryder's audition song.
Ryder later introduces himself to Marley, since she's also auditioned, and Jake, seeing their encounter and egged on by Kitty Wilde (Becca Tobin), decides to audition. To spite Marley, Kitty also auditions, and Jake and her duet on "Everybody Talks", showing off their dance abilities. The directors decide to call back Ryder and Jake for Danny, and Marley and Kitty for Sandy: Mercedes and Mike lead all four of them in singing and dancing "Born to Hand Jive" to test the chemistry between the potential pairings.
Sue objects to Finn's plan to cast Unique as Rizzo, and demands that Will and Principal Figgins (Iqbal Theba) intervene. Finn stands by his decision, but angers Sue when he refers to her daughter as "retarded". Sue becomes livid when she discovers that Unique was cast as Rizzo despite her objections, and more so after Will asks Finn to take over New Directions for him while he is in Washington, D.C., for three months, working on a blue ribbon government panel to improve arts education nationwide. Finn agrees to take over glee club and the cast list for the musical is announced, with Ryder as Danny, Marley as Sandy, Jake as Putzie and Kitty as Patty Simcox, much to her anger.
Will plans to bring his fiancée, guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), with him to Washington, but she's reluctant to go, and the two bring in Coach Beiste to mediate. Emma agrees to accompany Will, but Beiste realizes she doesn't want to, and later urges Emma to be honest. She finally admits to Will that she wants to stay and work at McKinley, and the two agree to visit each other on weekends while he's away, and to marry once Will has returned.
EP.6 Glease
With the McKinley production of Grease approaching, Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) names Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) as interim director of New Directions during his sabbatical in Washington, D.C. Cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) opposes, citing Finn's age and lack of qualifications, but Principal Figgins (Iqbal Theba) agrees, which angers Sue. Finn later apologizes to Sue for the insensitive comment he made about her daughter, but she rejects his apologies and declares her truce with the glee club to be over. In order to sabotage the play, Sue reserves the school auditorium for the Cheerios, preventing New Directions from practicing there. Forced to find a new rehearsal venue, he invites the male glee club members to rehearse at Burt Hummel's auto repair shop, where Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner) and Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) lead them in a rendition of "Greased Lightnin'".
In New York City, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) tells her friend Brody Weston (Dean Geyer) that she has landed an audition for an off-Broadway production. Though dance instructor Cassandra July (Kate Hudson) attempts to dissuade her, Rachel remains determined and asks Cassandra to audition with her. Later, Rachel and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) discuss whether or not to return to Lima to support their friends in the musical in the wake of their recent breakups with Finn and Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss), respectively. Overhearing their discussion, Cassandra convinces them to go and gives her frequent flyer miles to them.
Back at McKinley, Kitty Wilde (Becca Tobin) surreptitiously tampers with Marley Rose's (Melissa Benoist) costume, and convinces Marley that she is genetically predisposed to be overweight like her mother (Trisha Rae Stahl). Later, during a sleepover at her house, Kitty convinces Marley that she needs to induce vomit in order to maintain a healthy weight, and sings "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee" to mock Marley. Meanwhile, Sue continues her efforts to sabotage the play by convincing the parents of Wade "Unique" Adams (Alex Newell) that it is not a good idea for him to perform the female role of Rizzo. However, Sue's plan backfires when Finn enlists Glee club graduate Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera) to replace Wade.
Arriving in Lima, Rachel and Kurt have an awkward reunion with Finn and Blaine. Blaine later performs "Beauty School Dropout", followed by Santana, who performs "There Are Worse Things I Could Do". Ryder finds Marley trying to vomit in the bathroom. He convinces her that she looks good and that it is not healthy to induce vomit, and kisses her backstage as Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist) looks on. Marley and Ryder sing their rendition of "You're the One That I Want", while Rachel imagines herself performing with Finn and her friends. She calls Brody for support, only to learn that Cassandra has seduced him in order to spite Rachel. Finn finds Rachel crying and attempts to comfort her, however, once he learns she is crying over Brody they decide to sever all ties. Kurt also refuses to speak with Blaine and leaves with Rachel, both claiming that McKinley is no longer their home.
At the choir room, New Directions celebrates the positive reviews of "Grease" and Will says his goodbyes to the glee club before leaving, and Finn officially takes over.
