剧情引导:本来以为地区赛对阵聋人学校和问题女校,赢得胜利易如反掌,谁知亲见女校的表演之后,Will被女生们的惊人表演吓到,Rachel上前安慰他说没什么的……
Rachel: Mr. Shue, you seem concerned.
Will: What? No. I mean, they were great, but we're just as good.
Rachel: Mr. Shue, if I may. What they were doing was just all smoke and mirrors. It's called "hairography."

their vocals were just so-so. Trust me. We've nothing to be afraid of.
