I dunno; doesn’t that only work for head injuries?
Even if it were somehow a regular election, I think he would have had to be in DC by early January.
Thinking of the election plot, I don’t think there’s been even a passing reference to Brittany being class president. I guess it’s been keeping her busy though, as I don’t believe Brittany’s had a storyline since the election.
I don’t think there’s any chance they will actually kill her. If this episode had ended with Quinn being obviously dead then I might at least give them credit for doing something edgy/unexpected, but it seemed clear enough to me that this was the second “s/he’s dead! no, just kidding!” moment in the episode. The writers were apparently desperate to find a way to add drama to an episode that only had a major choir competition, a hastily arranged wedding where both sets of parents objected, and a suicide attempt.
I predict that Quinn will wake up with amnesia, having forgotten everything that happened since the series began. Puck will try to convince her that they’ve been in a long-term relationship since then. Blaine will discover that his cornea transplant has left him with the ability to see dead people out of that eye. Tina will reveal that she is actually Mina, Tina’s evil twin, and that Tina has been imprisoned in her basement for the past year. Finn and Rachel will reschedule their wedding, only to have it interrupted again…and again…and again…in every single episode from now until the end of the season.

“Glee did it last night…the achieved the “TRIPLE - Very special episode” Bullying, teen suicide, and texting while driving!!! If only Rory dropped dead of a peanut allergy, they could have hit the QUAD!!”

They need him alive for the upcoming male bulimia/testicular cancer/steroid abuse trifecta episode. It’s unknown which one or more of the three will affect him.
My first thought was that she lives but is somehow disfigured and has to go forward lacking the looks she’s enjoyed until now.
I can’t see Glee killing off such a main character. The show is supposed to be a Comedy and the ensuing episodes would just be awkward if they’re trying to crack jokes two weeks later.
I’d describe it more as a comedy/melodrama. They’ve handled dark subjects before. Sue’s sister wasn’t a main character, granted, but they cracked jokes the week after her funeral. And cracked jokes while Burt lay comatose, apparently dying. (Or was Rachel’s “Papa can you hear me?” not supposed to be a joke? hard to tell sometimes.)

Actually that was one of their funniest moments ever.
That is a possibility, although I think it’s unlikely since they already (IMHO unnecessarily) revealed last season that Quinn has only been good looking for 3-4 years. It would not surprise me if Glee had an attractive character learn a Very Important Lesson about how looks aren’t everything, but it would seem darker than usual for Glee to have this happen to a character who was an ugly duckling to begin with.
As **gonzoron **said, this show has always been a comedy/[melo]drama, but I think you’re right that they would not go so far as to kill one of the major teen characters. Glee has done drama, but I don’t think they’re going to cross over into true tragedy. Before the “Funeral” episode aired some people were expecting that either Kurt’s dad would have another heart attack or that Karofsky would kill himself, but while either of those would have been plausible the show didn’t go there. I correctly predicted that the dead character would be Sue’s sister, because she was pretty much the only character on the show whose death would be sad but not too sad.
Isn’t she already effectively written out of season 4 because she’s neither suddenly revealed to be a sophomore nor going to NYATA?
That whole thing where they kept standing up during the competition was stupid, none of the songs were worth standing up and getting excited over. I didn’t care for a single song this entire episode, and that’s gotta be a first.
Even the presence of Sue didn’t help this one, they’ve done gone and ruined her by letting her borrow her baby’s soul.
Ohigosh, you’re right, they are totally ripping off the Darla storyline from Angel! 
“I don’t have a soul. It does. And right now, that soul is inside of me, but soon, it won’t be, and then…
…I won’t be able to love it. I won’t even be able to remember that I loved it.”
Just watched this and, oh boy, what a bucket of suck. Glee is often manipulative, but this time it was so overboard and transparent that it was ridiculous. And the songs at regionals were god-awful.
What was up with the shot of the third place choir being excited that they won third? Who gets excited about coming in third in the three-way competition?
I thought that was weird too. At last year’s Regionals when the winner was announced the other choirs looked sad. The one madrigal choir member with a speaking part was confused about why New Directions would be cheering on the Warblers, so it didn’t seem like her group was in it just to have fun.
Rachel’s doppelganger at this year’s Sections was thrilled with a third place trophy, but this was apparently supposed to be odd enough that she offered an explanation – she was happy because if she did that well when she was only a sophomore, she’d be sure to crush the competition when she came back as a junior.
I can’t believe there were three choirs at Regional. Presumably Regionals would at least include Ohio and you’d think Columbus alone would field more than that.
My fanwank is that there are actually more that 3 competitors, but they only show 3 coincidentally 
the top 3.

They’ve referred to Regionals as the Midwest Regionals, so it is presumably a multi-state competition. Checking online, I see that Aural Intensity, who competed at Regionals 2010 and 2011, were announced as being from Indiana. Since there’s apparently no state level competition, it’s unclear how they wind up with 50 teams at Nationals…especially since it’s my impression that show choirs are mostly a Midwestern thing.
That would make more sense than there being only three, especially since Ohio always seems so heavily represented at Regionals, but when the awards are announced there’s always only three groups on stage and whenever we see the judges deliberating they’re considering only three choirs. That could be because there’s an unseen earlier round where all but the top three choirs are eliminated, but whenever the Will and the kids talk about their competition at upcoming events it always sounds like there’s only going to be two other groups.
I feel like the writers have never really worked out the procedure for the choir competitions, so it’s probably not worth thinking about it this much. (Insert MST3K mantra here.) Artie producing the big rule book in this episode may have been meant as sort of an ironic wink at that.
You guys are putting way more thought into this than the writers do.
Yup.
Did Vocal Adrenoline just disband when the zombie apocalypse hit the eastsouthern central west part of Ohio?
<b>eastsouthern central west</b>?
They must have been in Northern Ohio and missed the Zombies completely.
