Olive and Eliza recap and review episode fourteen of season three; On My Way! Everything you could imagine happens this episode HAPPENS, with Regionals and Sebastian rearing their ugly heads. Sue has fallen to sub-level villain status as Sebastian commits actual crimes, and the Warblers don't seem to mind... On the bright side, there's Cough Syrup.

Episode contains heavy discussion of suicide, please proceed with caution

This week, Olive and Eliza are recapping season three, episode thirteen, Heart! Things get wild as the New Directions gear up for Valentine's Day, the Berry and Hudson-Hummel parents team up to try and convince Finn and Rachel what Eliza has been saying for weeks (do NOT get married this young!), while Rory and Artie have a mid-off to try and get Sugar Motta (she's back) to be their date. Dave Karofsky is also back to set up something big for next episode...

Olive and Eliza recap and review episode twelve of season three; The Spanish Teacher! Ricky Martin guests stars this episode and the patient night school teacher explicitly designed to teach Will Schuester how to do his job. The drama gets a little dragged, out but we'd like to think it's in the pursuit of a good lesson. We can't ask much from the adults on this show, but can at least one of them behave normally around their students?

Episode contains consistent discussion of the offensive portrayal of Spanish/Latin culture/people

Olive and Eliza take a look at episode eleven of season three: Michael! Between advocating for finishing college before you get married, Eliza hating on Sebastian, and griping again about the New Directions never doing the same song twice, our hosts still find time to cringe at some of the cinematography and be baffled about the inclusion of 2013 YouTube sensations. This episode features so. many. songs. Do YOU remember 2Cellos? Eliza sure didn't.

9:45 - brief mention of suicide RE Dave Karofsky's storyline

Olive and Eliza recap and review episode ten of season three, Yes/No! There are many scenes in this episode that have us screaming NO, such as Artie getting thrown into a pool or the REAL Helen Mirren being roped into the zany world of Glee! Did you know McKinley had an Olympic swimming pool on school grounds? We sure didn't, and we're glad we're not being proposed to there.

33:50-38:15 - prolonged discussion of deceased parents, PTSD, and drug abuse

Olive and Eliza recap and review episode nine of season three, Extraordinary Merry Christmas! If our episode is shorter than usual this week, that is because this was essentially half-Glee episode, half-Holiday PSA. We're happy anyways because it means seeing as little of Mr. Shue as possible! Sue Sylvester's personality is acting wonky again, but when is it not? We hope you have a fantastic Christmas in June, as always!

Episode contains no trigger warnings. Please message us on our social media if you'd like something to be tagged!

Olive and Eliza recap and review episode eight of season three, Hold On To Sixteen! Our rival glee clubs have barely chosen songs in time for Sectionals, and Mike gets a chance to (more or less) prove to himself and his dad what he was meant to do! Quinn is still spiraling down a rabbit hole, of course, and for some reason, Rachel has to be the voice of reason, even when suspended. Can we get an episode all about therapy next?

Episode contains heavy discussion of student/teacher relationships.

Olive and Eliza recap and review episode seven of season three, I Kissed a Girl! The New Direction join together to support Santana through being publicly outed (totally not Finn Hudson's fault...) and sing girl power "lady music" to help her through it. We're not quite sure what "lady music" means, we've been given Jolene on a silver platter and are very happy about it nonetheless. Will Schuester is weirdly absent from glee club, but we won't look a gift horse in the mouth!

Episode contains heavy discussion of student/teacher relationships and coming out stories.

Olive and Eliza endure season three episode six, Mash Off! The continuation of the Puck/Shelby plot, Santana's forced outing, and the ultimate slap in the face come together to make one of the most memorable and impactful episodes of Glee ever. Whether that is a good thing is highly debatable. Quinn's quest to get Beth back gets called out, Rachel's presidential bid drops out, and Puck's attempts to date his teacher make Eliza grossed out! Listen for a surprise right after our hosts introduce themselves for a fun callback to last season 👀 

Please note that this episode contains extensive discussions and justifications for a highly unethical teacher/student relationship.

Eliza and Olive recap and review the fifth episode of season three; The First Time! Artie gets his moment to shine - and by "shine", we mean "tarnish" - as McKinley High finally puts on their production of West Side Story! Grant Gustin is introduced as the newest villain trying to tear Kurt and Blaine apart, followed closely by Ryan Murphy and the entire team of writers. Episode contains prolonged discussion of sex and sexual situations.

21-24:12 - Extended discussion of Beiste's gender portrayal before and after transition, commentary on the abuse of gender non-conforming people and plus sized women
