Hold On by Wilson Phillips is featured in Trio, the tenth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Artie, Blaine, Dani, Elliott, Kurt, Rachel, Sam, Santana, and Tina.
Blaine apologizes to Sam and Tina for having freaking out after seeing them kissing. He explains them that he just wanted a perfect senior year while it actually was really weird and hard, and that no matter what will change, they will be friends forever. The rest of the Glee Club enters the choir room along with Will, and after a talk, Blaine announces the seniors want to do a last number together, inviting Artie to join them, to which he accepts. The performance continues in the auditorium as the other members watch them, laughing. The scene cuts to Rachel singing in NYADA, looking upset, and again to show Santana doing the same outside Spotlight Diner. One Three Hill is also shown to be singing the song in the Bushwick Apartment, and the scene shifts some more times before returning to the auditorium, where Sam, Blaine and Tina are cheered by the Glee Club.
