Clarity

Clarity is the twentieth episode of Glee: The New York Story's first season. It premiered October 25, 2013.

Plot
While Finn and Rachel are at the store, Santana and Kurt sneak a peek at the setlist Finn is planning. Santana and Kurt are surprised when Finn has both Simone and Rachel penciled in for one of the songs. Santana and Kurt remember hearing Simone planning to destroy Finn's setlist during Sectionals and instead decide to diffuse the situation by talking to her.

Santana tries to get through to Simone by putting herself in Simone's shoes. But Simone admits to Santana she wants Finn for herself. Santana tells her there's nothing she can do to make Finn love her, which is when Simone becomes more vengeful. Simone decides to keep her enemies close by 'befriending' Rachel, but while Rachel is wary of Simone's friendship, she eventually accepts. Rachel admits to Simone she's having trouble in Cassandra's dance class, and Simone decides to help Rachel plan a number to impress Cassandra.

Simone and Rachel impress Cassandra with a sexy number which impresses Cassandra and makes Finn realize Simone can work with the other people. However, Kurt and Santana don't buy Simone's reformed act, and are correct when Simone threatens to make their lives hell if they tell Finn and Rachel of her ruse. For the sake of Sectionals, Kurt and Santana keep their mouths shut, but question if it's the right decision.

Meanwhile, Finn continues to battle his decision over who to give the solo to at Sectionals, and Santana tries to move things forward with Brittany after her break up with Dani.
