Summary of Things That Were Good

1) Half the episode was all about Puck, a character who has been severely neglected since the middle of Season Two.
2) More than a quarter of it involved a plot that was all about every girl on the show except Rachel or Quinn.
3) A bit of Puck’s plot actually subtly tied into the women’s plot.
4) It made at least somewhat of an effort to address complaints that the show is misogynist.
5) It also addressed complaints that the show solves its problems too easily. Coach’s problem wasn’t, couldn’t be, resolved in one episode by a bunch of earnest teenagers singing at her.
