Yet, there is a really sweet bit between Sue and Emma where Sue explains why she is asking for Will's swimmers. Sue's words are sincere and heartfelt. While Emma is still not comfortable with the arrangement, suddenly fans can get on board with a Sue/Will baby. Then the plot is abandoned without explanation, when Sue says that she has found another donor. She gave up so easily? Who's the new daddy? So, again, erratic, and strange.
If the writers can decide which version of Sue they'd like to right for, please let us know. It would be nice to have a consistent character. There is a difference between have a layered persona, and acting contrary to established behavior patterns, and "The Spanish Teacher" definitely achieves the latter.
Which means between the music, Sue's story, Will's character, Mercedes's decision, and everything else going on, "The Spanish Teacher" comes across as a garbled mess. Not one of Glee's best efforts, unfortunately, though it contains a handful of solid moments.
Watch Glee Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.

What is going on with Tina she wasn't in half of the Michael episode and she was in the Spanish teacher ep. Tina is a main character but oddly shes really like a minor character.
Also I don't like how pucks Mohawk is being grown and the there like combing it over either keep it short and up like in season 1-2 or just have it long and spike it up

You're right about Tina, but she's always kind of been like that. And I don't mind it, because I don't really care for her.

I agree with all your points, however, I actually wanted more Spanish music and/or by Spanish artists. I did think La Isla Bonita and Sexy And I Know It were good performances but I would have perfered songs by Spanish singers, anyone from Celia Cruz, Selena, Marc Anthony, hell, even Jennifer Lopez or Christina Aguelira. I appreciate that The Spanish Teacher had Gloria Estefan and Enrique Igelsas and Gipsy Kings mash up in the episode, but this episode lacked one main thing: Spanish.
