Hmm, I may be reading way more into it than is actually there (I probably am), but while I definitely agree that Rachel made an informed choice about having sex with Finn, there were these undertones of anxiety in the scene. Like the sex was contextualized specifically as "you still have me" sex, even if that wasn't Rachel's original intention - where it ended up almost being more about loss (Finn's life crisis, Rachel's developing worries about her own future) than it was about building something new together.
I actually like Kurt and Blaine, tbh, although I'm way more interested in them when there's some conflict involved. And I do miss how fantastically snarky pre-Blaine Kurt was, but the changes to his character, the way he's softened, make sense to me. At least we've still got some signs that that Kurt's still there - that jowls line to Rachel last week was amazing.
Artie was just terrible. I've never been a big Artie fan, but boy, did I want him to gtfo after this episode.
I wrote a bunch about Karofsky above in response to littlestclouds, but I'm curious to see if they really do go somewhere with his character in the coming episodes. Honestly, I could go either way - the bar scene as closure or as the beginning of a second chapter.
