Wildebrams thing

Kitty notices that Artie is depressed and confronts him about it. At first, she suspects that it is because Artie has a crush on her as she noticed him staring at her during her Guilty Pleasures assignment, and says that he will never have a chance of being with her. Artie denies this, but sarcastically thanks her for making him even more depressed. He then tells her that he got accepted into film school. Kitty is happy for him, but is shocked when she learns that he isn't planning to go. She then serenades him with a performance of Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours and tells everyone that he was accepted to film school. She then confronts him about it and he finally says that he isn't going because of his mom. She responds by saying that he would be amazing at film school, and urges him to think about it. Artie then goes home to find Kitty talking to his mom. She learns that his mom had no idea Artie got accepted into film school, and leaves them to talk things out. Finally, Artie decides to go to film school after a long talk with his mom and mouths 'thank you' to Kitty after announcing the news, to which she responds with a smile. They are having fun with the rest of the New Directions during For Once in My Life. (Wonder-ful)

Trivia[]

  • They are the only couple between a newbie and an old member of the Glee Club.
  • Whenever Kitty is with Artie, her bitter attitude softens greatly.There are numerous instances during Season 6 during What The World Needs Now, Transitioning, A Wedding and Dreams Come True where there was significant affectionate interaction between them like we saw during season 4 before they got together, implying that they were friendly again and possibly heading towards getting back together. However, this was never followed up with a romantic storyline. At least two interactions between them (Kitty laying across his lap when they were dancing in A Wedding, and Kitty hugging him during Rachel’s party after Rachel’s Tony win), which exist in screen captures, but were cut from the actual episode for some mysterious reason.
