If you’re a “Glee” fan and you were going through withdrawal this week, take heart. Next week’s episode “Wheels” is about as good as it gets. Artie (Kevin McHale, the kid in the wheelchair) feels left out of the group because he has to travel separately to sectionals. The team, however, decides to see what it’s like in his wheels. They each spend three hours a day in a chair and, sure enough, get a sense of his world. As the topper, they perform “Proud Mary” in the chairs and the number more than rolls on the river.
Also, Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Rachel (Lea Michele) are determined to sing “Defying Gravity” from “Wicked.” They have a diva-off and, yup, they’re both good.
And then? You also get some insight into the family life of Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch). She softens considerably and when you see why you’ll never look at her the same way again.
The episode, written by producer Ryan Murphy, is so good it should be must-see-TV in high schools.
So, set the DVR, next week, you gotta get your “Gleek” on. It’s that good.
