After spending an entire episode at McKinley High last week during which the controversial school shooting took place, it’s time to check back in with Rachel because her Funny Girl audition is finally here. Nostalgia is in the air as she reprises the song that put Glee on the map: “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Rachel’s mother Shelby, played by the fabulous Idina Menzel, returns to help her prepare. And New Directions is doing some preparations of their own. Regionals is right around the corner, so they whip out some original songs written by none other than, Marley.
