Magical Sectionals Script

So for those who were unfortunate enough to miss an episode, here’s what you missed. Ellie and Paige are on good terms now that Ellie apologized. Danielle and Ellie resolved their differences, too, and Ian has finally decided to become friends with his roommates. The glee club has been preparing for Sectionals, and now they’re off to Lexington. But a lot can happen in one weekend…  And that’s what you missed on…The Music Book!



The luxury bus pulls up in front of a hotel. It’s late at night. Mr. Dominguez and Ms. Handel hop off the bus. The students stumble off, yawning.

Ms. Handel: Here we are!

Mr. Dominguez: Gather around, Dixie Singers. Tomorrow, we have rehearsals in a room at the high school from 9 to 11 a.m. The afternoon is yours, but in the evening, there’s a dinner with the two other high schools: Frankfurt Preparatory and Brookridge School for Girls.

Ms. Handel: Word on the street is that the Boppin’ Belles from Brookridge will be our main competitors.

Mr. Dominguez: But don’t count Frankfurt Prep’s Vocal Run out of the running just yet.

The glee club musters a sympathetic laugh.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Okay, I know that was a stupid pun. But seriously, guys, don’t discount any opponent. Now let’s head inside, get checked in, and get some sleep.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle grabs her phone and ducks into the hall. Trista gives her a curious look. Gabrielle dials an unknown number, and an unfamiliar voice is heard over the phone.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Girl: Hello?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: It’s me.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Girl: Frankly, I’m surprised to hear from you. We haven’t talked in over a week. I thought you’d given up sabotage.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Never. The Dixie Singers need to go down.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Girl: Well, what do you want me to do? I hope you have a plan.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Of course I do. I need you to flirt with a guy from my school. His girlfriend is a Dixie Singer, and she has a main solo. If she thinks he’s cheating on her, I’m sure she won’t be on top of her game.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Girl: One girl and one song won’t kill your team, not at Sectionals and not if everything else goes well.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: I know. But that’s the part I need you to play. My job is to keep another girl from doing her best.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Trista pokes her head out the door and raises an eyebrow.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: *whispers* Got to go. Let’s rendezvous early tomorrow morning. Text me the location.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle hangs up and walks toward her twin.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Trista: What’s going on?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Nothing. It was just Winston complaining about rooming with Gideon.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Trista: Are you dating Winston or something?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Most definitely not. He’s a bit of a spoiled brat sometimes. But he’s my friend.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Trista: He likes you.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Yeah right.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center">'''<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">THE MUSIC BOOK '''

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston and Gabrielle are in the elevator, alone.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Are you clear on your part?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: Yup.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: But first we’re meeting her as soon as we get to Brookridge. We have fifteen minutes before rehearsal. Then I think we’re expected to come back here for the afternoon, but for phase one, we need to be at the school.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: That’s going to be hard, keeping the other three there.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: That’s why you’ll need to act quickly. I’ll stall her, and the guy will want to wait around for her. Don’t worry so much, Winston.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The elevator stops at the ground floor, and Gabrielle and Winston step out and join the Dixie Singers. The camera follows Gabrielle’s gaze to Miles, who is watching Ellie and Gideon.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: I must admit, this is going to be a lot of fun.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle and Winston quietly race through half-lit school hallways.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: Where are we going? Your glee club is going to wonder soon where we are.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: I’m just following her directions.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">She stops at closed double doors.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: This is it—the library.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston follows Gabrielle through the library. It’s unlit, except for large windows.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: *whispers* That’s her.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle points to a girl sitting at a table. Her face is covered by shadows, so her features aren’t revealed until Winston and Gabrielle draw closer and sit down.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: Good to see you could make it.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Likewise. Julie, this is Winston Davies, my partner-in-crime. Winston, this is Julie Watson, the Boppin’ Belles’ captain.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: Let’s get right to it. I want my team to win. You want yours to lose. How are we going to make this happen?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: I’m sure Gabrielle told you your job. Just get the boy alone, flirt with him, kiss him if you have to. I’ll get the girl there in time to see this all. She’ll be so devastated, she won’t perform well.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: And this will be done tomorrow right after my team finishes, right?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Correct. That way she’s the most shaken up.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: The timing is going to be difficult. But I believe it can be done. There’s a ten-minute intermission between our two teams’ performances.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Then there should be no problem.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: Now what are you two planning to do? I know you mentioned you had another plan, Gabrielle.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Hmm.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: Well?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: Oh, just tell her.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Fine. There’s another girl with a solo. She loves her boyfriend more than anything, and he loves her deeply, too. Her ex is a Dixie Singer as well, and he’s wanted to win her back for some time. We’re going to play that to our advantage.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: Quite…diabolical. I like it. Let me know how your part goes. And of course you’ll see the results of mine.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: *checks his watch* We’d better go, Gabrielle. Mr. Dominguez and Ms. Handel are sure to start wondering soon.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: We’ll see you later, Julie.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: I’d wish you good luck, but you’re the type of people who won’t need it.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle and Winston smile.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle and Winston stand outside a practice room. Vocal Run is inside, singing.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Eh, I don’t worry about them. They’re not spectacular.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: They’re not still in the running.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Okay, that wasn’t funny when Mr. Dom said it. It’s even less funny now.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: Whatever.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Go get Miles. I’ll hunt down Ellie and Gideon and stall them. Make sure you send the text, or even get Miles to send it.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: Will do. We’ve got this, Gabrielle.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: I know we do.

<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle is standing with Ellie and Gideon. Ellie’s phone buzzes. She reads the text and bites her lip.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Um, I’ll be right back. If Mr. Dom comes looking for me, stall him, okay? I don’t want to be stuck here for the rest of the afternoon.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: Our last bus back to the hotel leaves in fifteen minutes, so hurry, Ells!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: I will.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie hurries off. Gideon and Gabrielle stand there awkwardly. Then Gabrielle’s phone rings.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Hey, Winston, what’s up?... Um…yeah, I’m with Gideon… Oh, no… Do you think that’s a good idea?... Okay… Yeah, we’ll be right there.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: What’s going on?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: I think it’s best if you come with me.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon and Gabrielle walk down the hall to where Winston is standing.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: I’m sorry to have to do this, Gideon, but…

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: We thought you had a right to know.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: What’s going on?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: *points to the window on a closed door* Look in there.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon peers into the window. He turns pale. The camera zooms into the room. Miles is kissing Ellie up against a wall, and she isn’t pushing him away. Gideon yanks open the door and storms in. Winston subtly high-fives Gabrielle.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: And our work here is done.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: But let’s hang around and watch this thing explode.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon pulls Miles off of Ellie.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: What the hell is going on here?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Gideon, I swear, it’s not what it looks like.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: Really? Then let me explain what I saw, and you tell me if it’s something different. You and Miles were making out, and you weren’t even attempting to make him stop. I could understand him forcing himself on you, but I trusted you, Ellie! You swore that nothing was going on with you two and I had nothing to worry about.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: I was telling the truth, Gideon!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: Yeah, it sure looks like that.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: You know how much I hate Miles. Why would I cheat with him?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: Can I see your phone, Ellie?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: *pulls it out* Of course…why?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon sorts through the texts. He clicks on one and points to it.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: Miles asked you to meet him here. What else but a secret rendezvous would be the reason for this meeting?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: I didn’t know what he wanted, Gideon, but I was curious so I came. Before I could react, he’d shut the door, pushed me up against the wall, and was shoving his tongue down my throat.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: *whispers* Ew.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: So why didn’t you push him away?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: I tried!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: I just can’t believe you’d cheat on me with him.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Miles: What can I say? I guess my charms finally did their job.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Why do you believe it if you claim you can’t? Please, Gideon, I would never cheat on you. Not after what Miles did to me.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon: I’ve suspected it for awhile, Ellie. We’re done.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gideon turns and stalks out of the room. Ellie’s eyes fill with tears. She shoves Miles and runs out of the room. Gabrielle high-fives Winston.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Winston: Mission accomplished.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: Phase one is complete.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Dixie Singers file into the hallway behind the auditorium. Vocal Run can be heard singing. The Boppin’ Belles are seen through an open door; they are standing in the wings. Ellie’s eyes are red. Danielle, Paige, Trista, and Jessica are shielding her from everyone else.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel: *in a low voice* Are you able to perform, Ellie?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie nods and sniffles.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Yes, I’ll be fine by then. I’m not letting the Dixie Singers down.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle frowns. Ellie glares at Miles.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: *whispers* Have you tried talking to Gideon since yesterday?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: He just walks away or won’t answer my calls.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Devin: I could always try to talk some sense into him, Ellie.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Erm, I’m not sure that would be the smartest idea.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Trista: Oh, what now?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Well before we became friends, Ellie, I might’ve suggested on several occasions to Gideon that you were cheating on him with Devin. He didn’t believe me then, but now…

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Fabulous. If Devin tried to talk to Gideon now, he’d probably believe I was cheating with Devin, too.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Paige: Just in case it wasn’t clear, most of us hate you, Miles.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Guys, this discord isn’t getting us anywhere! If you let something like this tear you apart, there’s no way the Dixie Singers will win Sectionals.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: As upset as I am, I can’t let myself be the reason we lose. Come on, Dixie Singers, let’s rally.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The camera zooms in on Julie and the Boppin’ Belles. They’re frowning and crossing their arms.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: That you’re a good dancer, and you work hard, and you’re a perfectionist. *steps a bit closer* I’ve also heard you have a girlfriend.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Neal: *steps back* Yeah. Her name is Danielle.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: That’s what I thought. Now tell me if this is correct. My sources tell me Danielle has been very wrapped up in practicing for Sectionals.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie winds her arms around Neal’s neck and pulls him closer.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Julie: That’s how you sabotage a rival glee club.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">She strides off.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle hurries off. The camera follows her through the halls. At the guys’ bathroom, she stops.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Neal?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">When there’s no answer, she continues on. Then she hears pounding at the closet door.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: *hurries closer* Neal?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Neal: Oh, Danielle, thank goodness. You’ve got to let me out. The Boppin’ Belles’ captain locked me in here.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle opens the door. Neal embraces her.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Neal: She said she wanted to sabotage our team. We need to get the Belles disqualified.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Not now! We have less than five minutes to get back to our team before we’re due to go onstage. We’ll take care of it later.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Announcer: And the winner of the 2013 Kentucky Sectionals is…the Dixie Singers!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Dixie Singers explode with cheers and deluge forward to get their trophy. They celebrate at the front of the stage as the audience cheers. Ellie hoists the trophy in the air with Devin. She catches a glimpse of Gideon in the audience. Her eyes fill with tears, but she blinks them away and goes back to celebrating with the Dixie Singers. Screen goes to black.
