After a season full of ups, downs, and quite frankly bizarre direction, Glee’s fifth season came to a close. Check out our recap, which has left many fans wondering what the final moment of the season exactly meant.

At Monday night dinner, they’re talking about Rachel’s potential new show when Brittany showed up out of nowhere. She asks where Santana is but the group tells her that she’s shooting a Yeastistat commercial in Iowa. Mary Hallerin, the TV executive, shows up right behind Brittany and makes everyone uncomfortable and says she’s excited to work with “Randi.”

As Mary is getting to know Rachel, she starts using an old-fashioned typewriter to start collecting details, including a false one that includes Rachel’s two gay dads working for NASA. When Rachel tells Mary that she was in glee club, Mary says “that a capella thing is over.”

Artie is documenting Mercedes’ mall tour, which includes Brittany as her backup dancer. Mercedes performs a Glee original song, “Shakin’ My Head,” which includes lyrics wondering why Jesus is a white guy if he’s from Palestine.

Blaine pleads to June (Shirley MacLaine) if he can include Kurt in the showcase, but she turns him down one last time. “Take my lead and the world will greet you like Venus in a clam shell,” says June. Blaine performs the song “All of Me” by John Legend. Though it’s a great song, it’s very different from what Blaine has performed in the past.

Kurt walks in during the performance and Blaine starts tributing the song to him, which is beautiful. Blaine breaks the news to Kurt, but Kurt is understandably pissed off. He smashes the bag of dinner he brought Blaine off of the piano and storms off, saying that he can’t trust Blaine anymore. When will things ever be normal between these two!? There’s a new dramatic conflict in almost every episode this season.

Sam is about to audition for a new modeling contract that could land him on billboards and busses all over New York City, but has to use a rubber band to calm himself down because he hasn’t been intimate with a girl in a really long time. While this is somewhat ridiculous, it does kind of make sense given his gender and age. Amidst a group of sexy models, Sam sings “Girls On Film” by Duran Duran. The one on the ladder kind of looks like Sugar, but it’s not. But since we didn’t get an explanation as to where Sugar is, let’s just say it is. “Everything about you just screams Treasure Trailz,” says the casting agent as she invites him for a callback.

Meanwhile, the girls and Kurt think that Mercedes needs to break up with Sam because he’s going to cheat on her while she’s on tour. Artie and Blaine think that Sam needs to break it off as well. Sam says that all he thinks about is sex, but he controls it. Rachel tells Mercedes that sometimes the best way to stay together with someone is to be apart for a while.

Rachel invites everyone over to read through “The Untitled Rachel Berry Project,” where all of her friends have alternative names like Slaine, Cert and Nittany. While they’re reading the new script, we flash to the scenes being acted out, which include Rachel in a bathtub eating a sheet cake while Kurt talks to her in a dinosaur costume he found in the Bronx. We also flash to Nittany and Slaine hooking up. None of this really makes sense in the grand scheme of Glee, but we’re willing to keep watching since it’s the season finale.

Blaine is feeding rats with wings (a.k.a. pigeons) when Kurt sits down to talk to him about what happened. Blaine says that he doesn’t want to do the showcase anymore because Kurt is more important to him than anything. Kurt, of course, doesn’t acknowledge Blaine’s compliment. Kurt says he chooses to trust and love him over everything. Kurt says that it’s Blaine’s turn to fly and approves of him performing in the showcase.

Rachel talks to Mary about her show and performs Pink’s “Glitter In the Air.” During the performance, Mary stands up and realizes how great of a performer Rachel is. She slow claps and takes a deep breath before saying that she was happy watching Rachel perform.

Sam is bombing his photo shoot when the sultry photographer tries seducing him to get him in the mood for the photo shoot. Sam gives in to it a little bit, but says that he loves his girlfriend. She says that they can do whatever they want and nobody has to know before she kisses him. Sam shows up to the house and breaks the news of the kiss to Mercedes, who knows something is wrong before he even says anything. “I’m so sorry. I cheated on you,” he says before Mercedes removes her hands.

Sam tells her that the kiss was all that happened and that she took pictures of him crying in his underwear, and Mercedes understands. Mercedes says that asking Sam to wait until he’s 30 is unfair and she doesn’t want him to resent her for it later on down the road. They formally break up, but Mercedes says that if she decides to change her mind and not wait, she’ll give Sam a call. So we went through all of this with Samcedes only for them to break up again!?

At the showcase, June and Blaine sing “No Time At All” from Pippin. Following the performance, Kurt comes backstage to remind Blaine that the audience wants an encore. When he takes the stage, June tells Kurt he’s a great friend for supporting him. Kurt politely reminds her that Blaine is the love of his life, not just a friend. During Blaine’s encore, he invites Kurt on to stage to perform with him, to the horror of June. They take the stage against June’s wishes and sing “American Boy.” Eventually June gives in to the fun and starts dancing along and everyone laughs along happily ever after.

After her new script is finished, Rachel and friends read it and approve. Rachel says that Fanny isn’t the role she was born to play, it’s the character in the new script they just finished reading. They cheers to two years in New York City when Sam freaks out when he sees his half naked body on the side of the bus. Sam says he’s done in New York City now that he got his “junk” on the side of a bus and will be moving home. Sam notes that everyone in New York City seems like they’ll be scattering. Rachel says that they have to make a deal and six months from now they have to return to New York City again. The group of them breakout into song and sing “Pompeii” by Bastille.

Sam packs his bags to leave New York. Artie returns to film school. Sam returns to McKinley, but no one really knows why. Rachel gets a call and, surprise, they love the script and she’s going to L.A. to make her pilot. In the very final moment of the episode, Rachel is seen pondering her situation in the streets of Bushwick before breaking the fourth wall and glancing at the camera before it cuts to black.

What does it mean? Has Glee, for five seasons, been Rachel’s TV show? What does it mean that she addressed the viewer? There are so many new questions!

It was recently announced that Glee will not return for its sixth and final season in the fall per usual, with Fox instead deciding to hold it until 2015.
