Okay so. I have a ridiculous amount of feelings about Karofsky right now, which is really strange for me. I have loathed the way Glee (and fandom, tbh) has treated that storyline, but this scene didn't make me want to cringe. I loved how they were both awkward but trying really hard, and the way Karofsky talked about acceptance and then Kurt looked at him with this very happy-yet-sad expression, and Kurt's failed attempt to lighten the situation with "well, as long as you aren't beating people up." What I loved most was something that didn't happen, though: I was unhappily anticipating Karofsky looking ~lustfully after Kurt when he went to go dance, or something else that was romantic or shippery, but I didn't.
I would really love to see a friendship between these two blossom. I think it would be good for Kurt because I think it would make him feel more powerful about that situation, about his relationship towards Karofsky and the other bullies - talking to someone who has unfairly dominated you as an equal is a really powerful moment, I think. For that reason, it would be great for Karofsky, and he could learn things.
Although if I did get shippy in a non-Klaine way for this episode, it would be for Kurt/Sebastian bitching each other out, or maybe even an aftermath story about how ~Dave drives Blaine home and puts up with his drunken antics and consoles him about fighting with Kurt, and tells him not to do dumb things like that because it'll really mess up your life forever, and then Blaine is happy and maybe accidentally throws up on something.
There was a tragic lack of Brittany for me in this episode, but my little Klainer heart, oh. Plus I watched it with my roommate and we both agreed that Rachel and Blaine just should have gone ahead and done it if it was so important to them. I did yell at the screen a little bit when Rachel tried to tell us that a sexual awakening is about penetration, but I cooled off by thinking about how Kurt wore a floor length cheetah patterned cardigan.
Speaking of that scene - Kurt has this strange expression on his face when Blaine says "uuuh pshhh yeahhh, that's why they invented masturbation, duh" and I may or may not be writing about how Kurt never really does that and is totally thinking about doing it now and ugh I just loved that scene and everything about it. And this is where I like the Klaine storyline more than the Finchel storyline in this episode -- Kurt expressed an interest in sex before Artie's asshole replaced his mouth, and so did Blaine. Rachel didn't, and she didn't ask Finn about his feelings on the matter before going all "okay, ~take~ my virginity now!" And hasn't Rachel been over Finn's house before? Why would that necessarily mean for sex? There was a lot of head-shaking in this episode.

.. but there was also a lot of heart-clutching.
