What is he, defiling our baby?

Glee- Pretty awesome ep. So, they finally introduced the other Glee project winner, Samuel Larsen. Apparently his character is a sophomore, and was previously a home-schooled Christian (previously home-schooled that is, he's still a Christian) named Joe Hart. He's not part of the Glee club yet, but just joined Mercedes' "God Squad" club, which apparently has been a thing she's been doing along with Sam and Quinn, that we never heard about until now? So, the squad comes up with the idea to serenade people for Valentine's day. (and even though he says he only know Christian songs, he apparently knows Stereo Hears pretty well)
Anyways, Santana is pissed because Figgins won't let her and Brittany kiss in public, citing there's too much PDA in the halls, but didn't take Finn and Rach to task for tonguing each other in the halls. For some reason, she assumes the "God Squad" will be homophobic and refuse her when she asks them to serenade Brittany for her. Mercedes actually does have a meeting about it, since they don't know where Joe stands. And I think they do a fair discussion of how to reconcile Christian belief with acceptance of homosexuality. (well, Quinn at least says some things that make sense) Thankfully, they do not make Joe a homophobe, and he's fine with the gays, and they end up singing the Cherish/Cherish mashup for Brittany from San at Sugar's bash. And Britanna finally have a real kiss, which should finally satiate all the fans complaining that Brit and Santana haven't actually kissed.
We also finally meet Rachel dads, who I've said before are played by Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell (who again is black, but people are still asking, "Wait, wasn't one of Rachel's dads supposed to be black?!") They seem to be okay with it, as do Burt and Carole. So, they have Finn and Rachel over for dinner at the Berry house with Finn's mom and stepdad in toe. After which the parents are all, "okay, on to the teenage lovemaking." Which, looking at the glee tag on tumblr at the time, made people flip their shit at what the hell was going on, even though it was obviously a plan to do some reverse psychology on their kids to freak them out.
Its working at first, because Rachel freaks out about Finn using her bathroom, and the fathers Berry figure once the kids have a taste of what its like living together, they'll sour on the idea of getting married so quickly. But then Finn and Rachel make up, and say the little experiment made them decide to get married even earlier, at Regionals. And ha, given the Faberry fans are on a high after winning that E! poll and this pic Dianna and Lea tweeted for the fans because of it:

They're totally reading Quinn being annoyed at Finchel for making such an insane decision as jealousy and being secretly in love with Rach.
Other stuff, Sugar's throwing a big party at Breadstix, paid for by her rich ass dad (who PS is NOT in the Mafia) for Valentine's day. Her only requirement is you have to bring a date. Cue to Rory and Artie competing for Sugar's affections. Artie seems to have won, but then Rory says his student visa wasn't renewed and would be leaving at the end of the year. So feeling sorry for Rory, Sugar chooses him. But we eventually figure out the little leprechaun was totally lying!
On the Mercedes/Sam front, the guilt finally got to Mercedes, and she broke up with Shane. But, realizing it was kinda low to cheat on him with Sam, she feels she can't just run to Sam either.
And finally, Kurt's been getting Valentine's gifts for a secret admirer. He thinks its Blaine just being coy. But it ends up being Karofsky!! Kurt turns him down, saying he's with Blaine, and even if he wasn't, he only likes Karofsky as a friend. Even worse for David, one of the dudes from his new school spots him talking to Kurt, and though they try to cover, the guy does not seem convinced. So his new schoolmates might soon learn he's gay.
