Glee: Quinn Has A Pimply Past, Santana Schemes To Win Her .

Margaret Hartmann- In this week's 90-minute Glee, Kurt returns to Mckinley High just in time for nationals, Rachel contemplates rhinoplasty, and we learn Quinn wasn't born attractive, and she may yet be ugly on the inside.

After Finn's gawky dancing leaves Rachel with a Marcia Brady-style nose injury, the Worst Family Physician In The World encourages her to get a nose job, saying "if you truly need to be an actress you may need to consider looking and looking the better that you can.

Rachel talks this ended with New Directions and the kids reveal there's something they each dislike about themselves, prompting Mr. Schue to concoct another Lady Gaga-themed lesson about self-acceptance.

Quinn is all for Rachel's nose job and agrees to follow her to the doctor's place to simulate the perfect nose and sing an "Unpretty"/"I Feel Pretty" duet. Quinn actually knows what she's talking about. After Lauren Zises decides to run for prom queen, she digs through the school archives and discovers that before she transferred to McKinley, Quinn went by her very first name, Lucy, and was chubby, pimply, and brunette. Quinn admits that she got rhinoplasty and dieted to throw her "Lucy Caboosey" image, then tortured other people for being unattractive. At the end of the episode, the girls share a touching moment in which Quinn says she respects Lauren because, "I had to get a nose job and go on a crazy diet to pass around this school like I owned it, and you just do it." We're skeptical about this interchange of heart, as Quinn has already learned not to discriminate against people due to their appearing at least 4 other times, and it didn't quit her from calling Lauren fat earlier in the episode.

Meanwhile, Santana concocts a design to win back Brittany by becoming prom queen herself. After figuring out that Karofsky's gay she blackmails him into entering into a mutual "beard" relationship and putting an end to the bullying (she explains, "The only true I am is straight up bitch.") Santana hopes to win the jock vote and help New Directions win nationals by bringing Kurt back. Kurt makes his triumphal return (and justifies the extra long episode) by singing "As If We Never Said Goodbye" from Sunset Boulevard in its entirety.

In the teacher's lounge, Will heroically forces Emma to confront her OCD by shoving unwashed fruit in her face. (We see he was stressful to form a point, but it's generally safe to race off fruit before you eat it, right?) Emma finally goes to see a therapist, and after washing her chair for 48 minutes and talk for 2 minutes, the psychiatrist writes her a prescription for an SSRI. Problem solved!

Rachel's nose job conundrum is also quickly resolved when Kurt stages a flash mob at the center to Duck Sauce's "Barbra Streisand." Yet, things aren't tied up quite so well for our favorite "Lebanese" and her bi-curious pal. While everyone else embraces their identity by performing "Born This Way," Santana sits in the interview wearing her misspelled shirt.
