According to reports (spoiler alert), tonight's episode depicts Kurt (Chris Colfer) being harassed by football players before taking a look at the New Directions' competition. There, he meets Blaine (Darren Criss), star of the glee club at the all-boys Dalton Academy.

In the episode, Blaine, who might become a potential love interest for Kurt, will teach him to be comfortable with his sexuality and not let bullying get him down.

Back at McKinley, another boys vs. girls musical role reversal takes place, with the boys singing a Supremes/En Vogue medley of "Stop! In the Name of Love/Free Your Mind" and the girls mashing up the Stones' "Start Me Up" and Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer."

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
