FOX's Glee returned last night with an all new episode. In it, the members of the New Directions decide to stage a "Night of Neglect" to raise money to get themselves to Nationals, as well as to pay for several of their group to participate in an academic contest. Sue (Jane Lynch), newly determined to destroy the club, forms a Legion of Doom to combat them. Meanwhile, Will (Matthew Morrison) and Holly (Gwyneth Paltrow) have problems when Holly suspects that Will is still in love with Emma (Jayma Mays).
It is about time Will and Emma moved along! She is now free of husband Carl (John Stamos), who is seeking an annulment after months of living in an unconsummated marriage. Will is dating Holly, but Holly always says their relationship will be temporary. She is a "wandering, wild substitute," which, by the way, is not a real thing. There are no substitutes anywhere who live and travel like Holly Holliday. But the writing is on the wall, because Paltrow is a big name movie star, and while she has been kind enough to do three episodes this season, her intentions were never to stick around long-term.
Will and Emma are the on-again, off-again couple that just can't seem to make it work. She likes him when he's married, then he likes her when she is with Carl. Both pine for the other while they are unavailable. Now, both are single, and with the season finale fast approaching, it's finally time to see how they work as a couple. Best guess is that will be the beginning of season three. Can't rush into it too quickly.
The most likely obstacle for Will and Emma at this time is Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig), missing for most the season, despite her name remaining in the opening credits. As a member of Sue's band, and someone who is still very fond of Will, look for her to stir up trouble just when it appears Will and Emma are heading for a happy ending. Terri is not something that cannot be overcome, but she will toss up some drama for a bit first. This is great news, because as much as Terri might be unlikable, Gilsig is great fun, and it will be enjoyable to watch her in action again.
As for Holly, she may be back in season three. The writers and producers would love for her to return, and why not? She doesn't even have to come in to start trouble, but rather, just as a returning friend in town for a warm visit. Her performance of "Turning Tables" is a perfect ending for now, but it is likely we have not seen the last of her.
