'Glee' Series Finale Spoilers, Plot Recap: Final Episode of Hit Show Review

After six seasons of great music, triumphs and tragedies, make-ups and break-ups, "Glee" ended its run with a two-hour finale which featured a flashback to how it all started, what became of the Glee club members in 2020, and an emotional tribute to Cory Monteith.

The episode opened with a flashback to 2009, which showed a bullied Kurt and later, Rachel and Kurt singing together. In the flashback, Mercedes cries after losing the first glee club solo to Rachel, so she runs and goes to a church to cry. A woman comforts her and predicts that she and Rachel will be very good friends one day.

At a glee club meeting, they all talk about Finn and were on the verge of voting him out of the club, but then the New Directions start talking about how nice he really is. We also get a repeat of the pilot's "Don't Stop Believing" number, with Finn and the rest of the group, and we're all reminded how the club began.
