Glee rebounds mightily from Tuesday’s subpar “Pot O’ Gold’ episode with next week’s stellar sexual rite of passage-themed “First Time,” which finds two of the show’s supercouples — Rachel and Finn, and Kurt and Blaine — going all the way. But the standout episode isn’t all about getting it on. It’s also about…

1. Talking about getting it on. During a West Side Story rehearsal, director Artie tells Rachel and Blaine that they lack passion as Maria and Tony, then guesses that maybe they’ve never, you know, done it. “How do you expect to convey the human experience to an audience when you haven’t even opened yourself up to one of humanity’s most basic and primal needs?” he asks. Fun fact: We also learn Rachel and Kurt aren’t the only McKinley-ites in the Virgin Club: Coach Bieste and Blaine are also waiting for the right guy. Speaking of which…

2. Bieste and her new football recruiter boyfriend (played by Eric Bruskotter). They’re super-sweet together. So super-sweet, in fact, that it’s going to really suck when she finds out about this.

3. The arrival of Sebastian. No sooner does Grant Gustin’s gay Warbler debut than he sets his sights on Blaine. And what he wants, I suspect he’ll get: He’s got charisma to spare and tons of chemistry with Darren Criss. Fun fact: He’s not the only obstacle to Klaine sex — the other is Kurt’s wardrobe. Specifically, “All of his layers.”

4. The opening night of West Side Story. I did mention that that was coming up, right? Right. So it won’t be a huge surprise that much of the hour’s play list comes from the musical. My fave: Lea Michele and Naya Rivera rendition of “A Boy Like That,” which is cleverly intercut with Sebastian doing some hardcore flirting with Blaine.

5. Karofsky’s return. When Sebastian invites Kurt and Blaine out to local gay haunt Scandal, Kurt runs into his old nemesis at the bar. Apparently, transferring to a new school has done wonders for the bully’s disposition. He’s mellowed out considerably and coming to grips with his sexuality. It’s my favorite scene of the episode and should fire up those Kurt-Karofsky ‘shippers out there (and I know you’re out there).

6. Santana’s putdown. The snarkiest Cheerio gets the episode’s best line when she urges Rachel not to do the deed with Finn because, well, he’s a lousy lay. “Finn is terrible in bed. It was like being smothered by a sweaty, out of breath sack of potatoes that somebody soaked in body spray.” Fun fact: Brittany called Artie by the wrong name four times when he lost her virginity to her.

7. Kurt’s bucket list. No. 87 on it? “To become CEO of Logo.”

8. Finchel and Klaine sex. Ultimately, both couples do the deed, and it’s romantic, tasteful and all very satisfying. (For the kissing-conscious Klaine ’shippers, there’s one significant smooch, but it does not take place during The Act.) Finchelcourse, meanwhile, comes on the heels Finn receiving some bad news, but I would hardly call it pity sex. Again, you will be pleased. Maybe not as pleased as Finn. But pleased.

She is a Woman of the Year because: “In an industry where girls are expected to look and act a certain way, she isn’t afraid to be her own person. She inspires me.” —Glee costar Jonathan Groff

I would be happy to be a high school student forever,” says Lea Michele, 25. That’s no surprise. As absurdly driven teen prima donna Rachel Berry on Glee, Michele has used her killer voice and acting chops to help turn the show into a juggernaut: 2011 brought a sold-out cast tour, best-selling DVDs and the distinction of smashing the record held by the Beatles for most songs on Billboard’s Top 100 at once. Plus, she’s taught millions of teen girls to sing and be themselves. “Rachel doesn’t look like everyone else,” says Michele, “but her confidence takes her past that; she overcomes, you know?” The 5’2” sensation started building that awesome self-assurance at age eight, when she appeared in Les Misérables. Glee cocreator Ryan Murphy has said he wrote the Berry role specifically for Michele after seeing her electric performance in Broadway’s Spring Awakening, when he was struck by her “mix of Barbra Streisand and Patti LuPone. Her talent is once in a lifetime.” Like her hero, Babs, Michele makes no apologies for her aspirations. “Women in powerful positions get labeled with the D word, but you have to use your diva-ness for good as a way to show your strengths,” she says. That means she’ll soon be on the big screen in New Year’s Eve and in the animated Dorothy of Oz (as Dorothy…of course!). And while Michele doesn’t know just what will happen when Rachel Berry graduates from McKinley High, she sees great things ahead. “I have this fire in me,” she says, “and it’s only getting stronger.”

1. Lea Michele doesn’t understand him!
“It’s been a pretty smooth ride with my accent, but there is one person who doesn’t quite understand me. I don’t know if she does this on purpose, but it’s pretty funny. Lea literally, after everything I say, will look at me like I have three heads. She just does not understand anything I say. It’s very funny. I think I have to repeat everything twice to Lea. Other than that, it’s been pretty smooth, which I totally didn’t expect.”

Joe Jonas would like to have Lea Michele as his slave.

The singer believes Glee star Lea has an incredible voice. Because of this he believes she would be the perfect person to be at his beck and call.

“I think Lea Michele has a beautiful voice,” he told British magazine We Love Pop. “I would probably have her as my slave to sing to me all the time. I’d be like, ‘Sing again! Get me my chess board! Give me the remote!’”

Joe has previously admitted that he is a huge fan of the hit TV show and even calls himself a ‘Gleek’.

The 22-year-old recently released his first solo album Fast Life, alluding to his head spinning career of singing, touring and travelling.

However, the star confessed that when drives he doesn’t like to go too fast and has never been caught speeding.

“I’ve been stopped by police once. It was a trick!” he exclaimed. “He was with his daughter and asked for a photo.”

Finchel FTW! (And Klaine, too.)

Looks like there’s a good chance that (despite that spinoff controversy a few months back), Glee’s graduating “seniors” Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, Dianna Agron, Mark Salling and Harry Shum Jr. could very well end up staying on the original series in some capacity.

We hit the set today to help celebrate the show’s 300th musical number (you saw our Jonathan Groff and Adele explosion of awesome, right?), and Glee’s co-creator and bossman Ryan Murphy had this to say about whether the actors who play McKinely High’s seniors will be departing the series:

“We were talking about doing different things and then we decided to work on this season,” Murphy told reporters on set. “I think that just because people graduate, which I thought was very important to the show, that doesn’t mean they’re not on Glee or not a part of the Glee world. We haven’t figured out what that is yet. We’re figuring that out. A lot of it will depend on the actors and what their dreams are and what they want to do and what they feel that have left in them. We’re obviously a very close group of people. We talk about these things every day.”

And just in case any seniors do end up leaving the series this May, Murphy is doing right by them in the meantime. “Because so many kids are graduating this year, I wanted to go back to what the pilot was,” Murphy said. “Creatively, it was a really great decision because it grounded these kids again.”

By our last count, the graduating seniors include Rachel, Finn, Kurt, Karofsky, Mike and Santana. Who are you most hoping will stick around? In order to keep them all, can we just agree that we’re OK with McKinley University?
