Episode chronology

"Sadie Hawkins" is the eleventh episode of the fourth season of the American musical television series Glee, and the seventy-seventh episode overall. Written by Ross Maxwell and directed by Bradley Buecker, it aired on Fox in the United States on January 24, 2013.^[1]

Plot

Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz) convinces Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) to organize a Sadie Hawkins dance at McKinley to empower the female students. Glee club director Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) decides to have the female members of New Directors perform to the people they want to invite to the dance, and Tina sings "I Don't Know How to Love Him" for Blaine, having developed a crush on him. However, Blaine declines her invitation, having himself developed a crush on Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet), who is investigating the possibility whether the Dalton Academy Warblers cheated at Sectionals.

In New York City, Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) joins the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts (NYADA), and with Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) occupied with her relationship with Brody Weston (Dean Geyer), Kurt decides to join NYADA's glee club, the Adam's Apples, to make new friends. Rachel tells Kurt not to, as it would be "social suicide", although Kurt becomes interested in the club's captain, Adam Crawford (Oliver Kieran-Jones), who impresses him with a performance of Jonathan Coulton's cover of "Baby Got Back". Kurt later asks Adam out on a date.

In Lima, Brittany Pierce (Heather Morris) convinces Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist) to invite Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist) to the dance with a performance of "Tell Him", but Jake becomes divided when Kitty Wilde (Becca Tobin) also invites him. His brother, Noah "Puck" Puckerman (Mark Salling), convinces him to go with Marley and ends up going with Kitty himself. Meanwhile, Blaine confides with Tina about his crush on Sam, and they decide to go together as friends.

At the dance, the guys of New Directions perform "No Scrubs", followed by the girls' performance of "Locked Out of Heaven". There, Sam reveals to Blaine and Finn evidence that he has acquired that Warblers captain Hunter Clarington (Nolan Gerard Funk) had the Warblers use steroids to enhance their performance, which Finn decides to use against the Warblers.

Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner) ends the dance with a performance of "I Only Have Eyes for You" while Jake and Marley begin a relationship. Rachel invites Brody to move in with her.
