Ep 9: Why Did Glee Do This?

Eliza and Olive are joined by our first ever guest, John Osborn, to talk about Glee's first Very Special Episode, Wheels. In the first episode where Glee tries to cover An Issue, we have to deal with what Ryan Murphy thinks having a disability is like. Will spends money on wheelchairs instead of a handicap bus, Quinn and Puck decide the best baking technique is to throw ingredients at each other, and we get the introduction of Becky Jackson! Rachel and Kurt face off and we get a deeper look at both Burt Hummel and Sue Sylvester. Somehow, sectionals are coming on fast and yet also weeks away.
