Summary
Kitty takes advantage of the annual Halloween week celebration at McKinley High by using this as a way to get to know and make the new generation of the New Directions a little more comfortable with each other. Mason and Madison start to show the bad blood they've had for years, Ryder despises how people view at him because of his popularity and is ready to show who he really is, even the things he just knew about himself, and Jake tries to give things closure with Marley. Rachel finds out that one of her dear friends is working as the new coach of the McKinley Titans. Meanwhile, Sue makes the new kids get a taste of her wrath. Finally in New York, Kurt and Santana volunteer to try and help Mercedes get back on her feet once again after learning that she is moving back to the city after her semi-failure in the music industry. Blaine gets a surprise intervention from Burt (guest star Mike O'Malley).
