['Glee' -- 'Pot O' Gold']

After a three week hiatus, I honestly didn't know what to expect from 'Glee' this week. So to say that I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. It definitely wasn't as good as 'Asian F,' but it was better than a majority of Season 2, so I'll call this one a win.

Actually, call me completely shocked. To be honest, I totally didn't see that super awkward Puck and Shelby kiss coming this episode. Even though I knew it was headed there, that didn't make it any less creepy.

Not only did we get a bit of totally illegal Shelby/Puck action, we also met the much-anticipated new kid.

Make sure there's room on your iPod because 'Glee' is finally back.

In 'Pot O' Gold' (Tues., Nov. 1, 8PM ET on Fox), a new foreign exchange student -- 'The Glee Project' winner Damian McGinty -- moves in with Brittany, and our favorite funny cheerleader thinks the young Irish lad is a leprechaun. Naturally. Meanwhile, Mercedes attempts to recruit new members to Shelby's rival glee club and Sue's campaign heats up.

What will they sing? Find out after the jump.

'Glee' isn't back until Tues., Nov. 1 and we know it'll be a rough few weeks for Gleeks. However to tide you over, you might want to see these previews from the next all-new episode, 'Pot O' Gold.'

In the episode, 'The Glee Project' winner Damian McGinty makes his first appearance as an exchange student, Blaine (Darren Criss) sings Katy Perry again and Mercedes and Santana cover Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman.' Plus, it looks like Quinn is still scheming to get Beth back.
