Welcome Back “GLEE”! The phenomenal phenomenon returned to TV on Tuesday night with a great big Hell-o! It was the first episode we’ve seen that was filmed after “Glee” became a bona fide hit, and the show winks at its newfound celebrity status, and reassures us that the next part of the season will be even more sensational than the first. And based on this premiere installment, we have many reasons to believe that ‘The Road to Regionals’ will indeed take the magic to the next level!

Right off the bat, we see that winning the trophy at Sectionals (and a Golden Globe for Best Comedy) doesn’t mean all that much in the day-to-day lives of the Gleeks and geeks at McKinley High School. Blue slushies are still waiting to splash the kids in the face, competitors are tougher than ever, and Sue Sylvester’s back with a vengeance.

That’s right. Despite her attempt to sabotage the Glee Club at Sectionals, the Cheerios Coach by-passed suspension by methodically drugging the Principal, putting him in a precarious position, grabbing some evidence and holding it over his head as blackmail. Next on Sue’s diabolical agenda is hatching a plan to annihilate the glee club for good, while mercilessly mocking Mr. Schuester’s hair. Oh it’s good to have her back!
