April returns to McKinley High School after her plans turned out to be a disaster. After volunteering to make dinner, Will invites April over to his apartment where April attempted to kiss Will after commenting on how good of a teacher he is in inspiring her to make a Broadway show about her life. The attempt is not successful as Will continues to talk about the stress and problems within the glee club. April willingly offers her help to the glee club by performing Dreams with Will in front of New Directions to inspire them to sing songs only from the  Fleetwood Mac album Rumours. Later, April and Will sing an original song, Nice to Meet You, Have I Slept with You?. Afterwards, April offers Will to go with her to Broadway where they both can fulfill their dreams together. Will, being tempted to accept the offer, declines in order to support the glee club. April goes off into Broadway with her new show, Crossrhodes: The April Rhodes Story.

New York

Will visited April's Broadway stage of Crossrhodes: The April Rhodes Story, where he performed Still Got Tonight while waiting for April and imagining he was on Broadway. Instead a stage crew member told Will that April was at a cast party. However, the crew member heard Will perform, and told him that he would fit perfectly in Broadway and is welcome to join. Being tempted to join by his desires and by Dustin Goolsby, Will decides not to go to Broadway and stay as a teacher and help the members of New Directions to be able to reach their dream of winning Nationals before they graduate. April Rhodes does not appear in this episode, so it is possible that she doesn't know about Will's decision or has found out some way.

Will invites April to return to Lima when Glee Club is disbanded after their loss at Nationals. Will gives current and alumni New Directions the assignment of re-doing some of their favorite performances from the past, with a new twist. To kick off the celebration of the Glee Club, Will and April duet on Raise Your Glass and everyone else joins in. In an attempt to save the auditorium and Glee Club, April and Will present Sue with paper work that shows the April Rhodes Charitable Foundation has been funding the auditorium, therefore April has say on who can use it. Will says the Glee Club will move permanently to the auditorium. Sue is suspicious of how April has obtained the funds and recruits the assistance of Becky to do some research into April's past. Later, Sue and Becky present April and Will with evidence that shows April is actually broke because her most recent rich boyfriend was involved in criminal activity and April has also been indicted (formally charged). Additionally, Sue shows them a budget sheet that proves Will has bankrupted the Glee Club after the purchase of elaborate costumes and sets for the auditorium. Any money April had donated prior has now run out. Although April attempts to explain herself, Will is angry with her for having given him and the Glee Club hope that it could be saved. In hopes of lifting Will and the Glee Club's spirits, April has located Holly. Holly begins to sing Happy and Will and April and the rest of the group join in.
