Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth: 'Glee'

This is Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth, a weekly column here at TV Squad where we discuss and give our two cents about recently-released spoilers and how they may affect the storylines, shows and fans. This in-depth version of the column goes hand in hand with our weekly spoilers column where we supply you with the dirt on some of the more popular shows on the air. This week we discuss various spoilers recently released for the season finale of FOX's 'Glee.'
Due to the shows success, including the many already released CDs, concerts and third season pickup, it feels like 'Glee' has been on the air for a few years. But no, it's still in its first season and June 8 will mark the first season finale. Are you ready for what's in store?
Here are the season finale spoilers I will discuss in this edition of Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth:
- Quinn's baby will be born.
- Emma returns in the season finale to break the news to Will that she's dating her dentist.
- Josh Groban and Olivia Newton-John will be two of the Regionals judges. The two celebrity judges will only like choirs that sing their songs. Surprise, surprise, Sue, who is sort of a celebrity now and who doesn't know much about music, will also be a judge!
The fact that Quinn will go into labor and that her baby will see the light of day in the finale is not really surprising. The when and how may be though. A few months back, I read an interview with the show's bosses and they claimed that they didn't want Quinn to go into labor during the Regionals performances. They wanted both events to be separate.
If they stay true to their word, it means that Quinn will either go into labor before or after the competition. For sure, it would be much more dramatic if Quinn were to go into labor a few hours before Regionals, as it would mean that she would not be able to participate. Quinn is not the lead singer, but, even though having been pregnant for the entire season, she's an integral part of the group and their routine. What will the glee club do without Quinn to perform with them? Or worse! What if Puck decides to stay with Quinn at the hospital, meaning that the club has to compensate for his absence too?
If they decide to have Quinn go into labor after the competition, it won't be as dramatic but will be entertaining nonetheless, as it's been an important storyline all season long. One thing is certain, no matter when and where Quinn delivers her baby, it will change her life.
When I read the Emma spoiler a few weeks back, I couldn't believe it, as it seemed to come out of left field. I didn't expect her to start dating so soon. Maybe this week's new episode will set the table for Emma to return in the finale with a new boyfriend.
Schuester will be in for quite the surprise, especially if it is revealed that Emma lost her virginity to her dentist. I haven't heard about the latter at all, but wouldn't that throw in more drama? Nonetheless, we'll be in for another love triangle next season. I hope Will decides to move on, too, as it's clear Emma and Will are not ready to be together now.
As for the third spoiler, it might be fun to see Groban and Newton-John only give good marks to the choirs who sing their songs. But what will be extremely funny will be Sue being a judge! I expect her to be brutal in her judging to a point that Simon Cowell will look like a puppy judge compared to her.
Sue's presence as a judge is not good news for the glee club since she will surely want to ensure they lose. And with buddy Olivia judging by her side, it may be quite easy to crush Schuester and his singers. But is Sue even allowed to judge in a competition her school is competing in? Wouldn't that be seen as unethical? Could the fact that it will be discovered that she is from the same school as New Directions, and that she even helped train them at one point, be her demise and allow the glee club go to nationals? Then again, maybe she blackmailed the Regionals' organizers, ensuring she'll stay on as a judge no matter what.
What do you think will happen in the season finale of 'Glee'? Share your theories below.
