Plot[]
Mercedes is having trouble deciding whether or not to audition for the female lead of the Broadway revival of Children of Eden. Rachel, now revealed to be the next actress to play Elphaba at the Gershwin, thinks she should. Seeing her friend struggling with this decision, Rachel recruits Santana, Brittany, Tina and Kurt to help her out. Brittany is offered the chance of a lifetime to study in Australia and is confused about whether she should take the oppurtunity. Skylar and Madison become closer, and sparks fly between them. Artie is told he can't direct a big budget Hollywood movie because "the studio doesn't want a cripple attached to the film". Blaine joins a Gay Men's Choir and clashes with Adam, who is also apart of it.
