Glee season 2, episode 12, “Silly Love Songs”

-Why does Santana care so much about Puck and Zizes?
*Note: Here, we originally discussed sensitive material about body image that was edited out and placed at the end of the episode, post-credits. The conversation relates to the Puck and Zizes dynamic in relation to the musical number, “Fat Bottomed Girls.”*
-Ah, Klaine, you had all the potential of being so good.
-Or did you? Mitch thinks Kurt was out for revenge against the Gap guy.
-Is Kurt falling in love with Blaine in a MySpace romance kind of way?

Trigger warning: sensitive post-credits topic:
