"Furt" is the eighth episode of the second season of the American musical television series ''Glee'', and the thirtieth episode overall. It was written by series creator Ryan Murphy, directed by Carol Banker, and premiered on Fox in the United States on November 23, 2010. The episode features a guest appearance by actress Carol Burnett as a Nazi hunter and mother of cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), who shows up for the first time in years, just in time to attend Sue's wedding to herself. The long-anticipated wedding of Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley) and Carole Hudson (Romy Rosemont) is also featured, and the bullying storyline reaches a climax that results in Kurt (Chris Colfer) transferring from McKinley High to Dalton Academy at the end of the episode. The episode features covers of four songs; they received generally favorable reviews. Three were featured during the Hummel–Hudson wedding sequence, and the two songs by Bruno Mars, "Marry You" and "Just the Way You Are", charted both on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and internationally. Burnett's appearance, and her song with Lynch, were lauded by most critics, as was the central wedding of Hudson and Hummel, but Sue's wedding to herself was widely panned. Additionally, a few reviewers, including ''The Atlantic'' Kevin Fallon, thought the bullying storyline had been stretched over too many episodes. Upon its initial airing, this episode was viewed by 10.41 million American viewers and garnered a 4.0/12 Nielsen rating/share in the 18–49 demographic, its lowest for the second season to that point, and down substantially from the previous episode, "The Substitute". ==Plot== Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley) and Carole Hudson (Romy Rosemont) tell their respective sons, New Directions glee club members Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Finn (Cory Monteith), that they are engaged. Kurt insists that New Directions perform at the wedding and reception. Principal Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) announces her intention to marry herself, and glee club member Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) tells fellow member Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) that he loves her and would like to marry her in the future, by offering her a promise ring. Kurt is menaced by school bully Dave Karofsky (Max Adler) and badly shaken; while Sue sympathizes with Kurt's plight, she can only punish Karofsky if he physically attacks Kurt. Glee club co-captain Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) convinces the glee club girls to have their football-playing boyfriends defend Kurt, but her own boyfriend, Finn, refuses, concerned that it may jeopardize his position as quarterback. Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale), Noah Puckerman (Mark Salling) and Mike Chang (Harry Shum, Jr.) do confront Karofsky, and demand that he leave Kurt alone. Karofsky retaliates, and Sam defends them by fighting with him. Quinn is impressed by Sam's actions, and decides to accept his promise ring. Karofsky later sees Kurt and Finn practicing a wedding dance and taunts them in front of Burt. Burt is angered by this, but becomes livid when Kurt admits that Karofsky has threatened to kill him. He instigates a meeting with Sue, Karofsky's father (Daniel Roebuck) and the two boys, at which Sue expels Karofsky. The day of the wedding, Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera), who wants another chance at Finn, suggests that he reveal that they had sex to boost his popularity at school.〔This took place in the season one episode "The Power of Madonna".〕 He is unwilling to do so, as he truly loves Rachel, who recently admitted to him that she lied when she claimed to have slept with her then-boyfriend Jesse (Jonathan Groff); Finn also lied at the same time, by saying he never had sex with Santana. At the wedding, New Directions perform "Marry You" by Bruno Mars as they, and then Burt and Carole, dance down the aisle, after which the two of them marry. During the reception, Finn uses his best man speech as an opportunity to apologize to Kurt for not defending him, and promises to do so in the future; he announces that Finn and Kurt are now "Furt". He and the other glee club members dedicate a performance of Mars' "Just the Way You Are" to Kurt, and the new stepbrothers dance together. Following the wedding, Kurt and his parents learn that the school board has reversed Karofsky's expulsion and given him a verbal warning, thus allowing him to return to school. Sue resigns as principal in protest, and Burt and Carole use their honeymoon savings to enroll Kurt at Dalton Academy, which has a zero-tolerance policy against bullying and is also the school that Kurt's friend Blaine (Darren Criss) attends. While the Hummel–Hudson wedding is being arranged, Sue advances her own marriage plans. She is surprised when her mother arrives in town. Doris (Carol Burnett), a recently retired Nazi hunter who was an absentee parent to Sue and her sister Jean (Robin Trocki), attempts to make amends for her long absence, but is nevertheless so critical of her daughter that Sue calls her a bully and disinvites her during the wedding rehearsal. Doris leaves, and Sue and Jean comfort each other. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Furt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
