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."

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
