(continued)
Next up, Santana and Rachel tackle “So Emotional,” completely out of context. There’s no precursor or explanation for the duet but as a Naya and Lea devotee I don’t question it. I just bask in the fantasy of them performing the entire soundtrack to Wicked andRent together. Meanwhile, back on the screen, Brittany claps along as her girlfriend tears up the choir room.
A bit later Santana’s at her locker when Rachel approaches.
“You know you can learn a lot about a person by looking into their locker,” Rachel says, as she spies Santana’s inner book sanctum tricked out with shots of Santana Photoshopped onto Seventeen mag, pics of Brit, the Cheerios and so on…
“Are you like stalking me?” Santana asks.
But Rachel ignores her. “You know we blew it right?” Rachel says. “We wasted three years going at each others’ throats when we could have been singing together and killing it in Glee Club.”
“Well we hated each other. Actually, I hated you,” Santana says, stating the painfully obvious to those of us who’ve been hoping for a Rantana—I don’t think that’s a real mash-up—pairing for three seasons.
“Our duet in Glee was a whole truck load of awesome, and who cares if it took three years” Santana adds. “I mean, we still have plenty of time to do it again.”
But buzz kill Rachel explains there’s no time with only 42 days remaining until graduation –and that means just a few more killer episodes for those of us who really only watch Glee for Naya, Lea and the moments they allow Heather Morris and Amber Riley to be great. Yes, I get that they’ll all return post-graduation but think about what that’s like in real life. Returning to high school after graduation is always disappointing. It just won’t be the same.
“Oh crap,” Santana says. “I think I just realized I’m going to miss you. Say something irritating so I can get the taste of this out of my head please.”
“It’s okay, you went out of your way to make my life a living hell for three years, but at the end of the day I know that you respect my talent and my ambition,” Rachel says, in her lovable solipsistic way.
“I like it when you sing, and hell, you’re the only one at this school besides me who’s willing to kill their best friend to get to the top,” Santana says.
Rachel asks Santana if she’ll put her picture up in her locker. “We may not have time to sing together but we still have 42 days left to at least be friends,” Rachel says. “I’m going to give you a hug. It’ll be quick,” Rachel adds, before giving Santana a little squeeze. Rachel practically skips away down the hallway as Santana places the picture in her locker, and just like that my inner show queen heart grows two inches.
And that’s about it for Brittana and the Whitney tribute show until the finale when the glee kids gather together in the auditorium for one of those wonderfully cheesy glee kids come together moments that we’ve come to love throughout the years – i.e. “We are Young” earlier this season. Brit and Santana arrive holding hands and join in with Mercedes, Artie, Rachel, Finn, Quinn, Joe, Kurt and Blaine on “My Love is Your Love.” And, as usual, they’re totally adorable. Here’s to more of that next week as the season winds down.
