Dear Ryan Murphy (Are You Ready For Television History?)

I heard a little rumor that Kristin Chenoweth would be returning to the show sometime this spring for another episode. And I have an idea for you that will blow you away in the most mind freakin' of ways.

As you may or may not know, us theater geeks lourve Lea Michele in a Celine Dion kind of way not just because she's a Broadway baby, but also because she reminds us of Idina Menzel - Broadway Diva and Elphaba extraordinaire. Well, Mr. Murphy, I think it's time for Rachel to meet her biological mother! (Cue dramatic music)

Have Rachel's bio mother show up to tell her that she has been watching her daughter grow from a distance for the last sixteen years and is so proud of her, but never wanted to intrude because she knew Rachel's gay dads were raising her well. But now she is getting married to a military man who's being stationed in Reykjavík and wants to say a proper good-bye.

Rachel is touched and invites her to a glee club rehearsal (don't go cliche on this one and make her the angry "you're-not-my-mother!" teenager). But guess who knows Rachel's bio-mom? Mr. Schue! Turns out she is an old classmate of Will's. In high school bio-mom was not a very popular girl. But she did have one popular friend: April Rhodes.

OMG, I'm jumping with excitement just thinking about this.

Ok, so... we find out that bio-mom (I'll let you name her) did not end things well with April (something about a guy April liked having a crush on bio-mom, and then Terri spread nasty rumors about bio-mom, but she thought it was April who'd been spreading them) and it's been years since they've talked. Now you might already have something in mind for how to bring April back into the plot, but if you don't yet, then hear me out: Will calls April and asks her to take a few nights off in Branson to come visit. When she gets there, Will puts April and bio-mom in the same room and they are both livid. How dare he! This was none of his business.

Enter Emma with a brilliant suggestion that gives Will an idea! Again, I'll leave the idea up to you. Long story short, maybe there's a song involved for each of them that ends up playing like a mash-up (you seem to like those) and maybe something happens between Rachel and Quinn that forces bio-mom and April to step in. The ice between them starts to thaw. More stuff happens, and they realize they were both in the wrong. But bio-mom has to leave for Reykjavík and April has to head back to Branson.

And do you know what happens then? Oh, I think you do.... THEY SING "FOR GOOD"!!! Wicked reunion all up in Glee!! TELL ME THAT WOULDN'T KILL IN THE RATINGS!!!

Seriously, Mr. Murphy - think about this. Seriously consider it. I'm giving you television history here!

Gleefully Obsessively Yours,
Serg

  1. I've seen this idea in the Glee Forums. This is a great idea and I'm pretty sure majority of the viewers, who are broadway/showchoir fans, have anticipated Idina Menzel to be on the show. I think this idea/episode should be the season finale(just a thought). Since there's a few episodes for the season left maybe the idea of Rachel's story with her mother can gradually tell the audience about them, so that you can build the excitement in other episodes(keep Glee alive). Not just have her on the show and then that's it. Just an idea to add.

  2. I just read on PerezHilton that Idinia Menzel is going to be on Glee to be Vocal Adrenaline's coach.
