Plot
In New York City, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) confirms that she is not pregnant, and Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera) remains convinced that Brody Weston (Dean Geyer) is hiding something. Unbeknownst to them, he is moonlighting as a gigolo to pay his NYADA tuition.
In Lima, New Directions, noticing tension between Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) (Finn kissed Will's fiancé in Diva), decides to assign them a week of songs covering musical feuds. Wade "Unique" Adams (Alex Newell) confronts Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner) over interfering in the relationship between Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist) and Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist), and they fight after Ryder refers to Unique as a boy. Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale) suggests that they express their feelings through song, and they duet on "The Bitch Is Back" and "Dress You Up", but Ryder still struggles to accept Unique as a girl. Meanwhile, Marley reconciles with Jake, but he acts hostile towards Ryder for betraying him by kissing Marley.
In NYC, Santana confronts Brody at NYADA, performing "Cold Hearted" to mock him. Upon learning about this, Rachel and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) kick Santana out of their apartment.

Why this record matters
The phrase “episode of Glee (S4 E16)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8503240. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
