For months Ryan Murphy and Co. have pussyfooted around with a lesbian storyline on Glee, teasing us with intimations of Brittany and Santana scissoring in between getting their “lady kisses” on (or is that the other way around).  But last week Glee went full-blown with a revelation that had many viewers floored. SPOILER Alert in case you’ve been in the wilds of Machu Picchu since last week without access to a television, computer, Twitter or Facebook account!

Last week Glee’s self-avowed easy girl Santana (Naya Rivera), following pressure from Brittany (Heather Morris) to “talk” about their complicated relationship, confessed her love for Brittany in song, specifically Stevie Nicks’ “Landslide,” with Gwyneth Paltrow on lead vocals and acoustic guitar. Rachel Berry (Lea Michelle) praised them for exploring “the world of Sapphic charm,” and Santana’s lesbo floodgates began to burst forth.

Later, at their lockers – because it’s a rule that everything important in high school occurs either at the lockers or the locker room—Santana told Brittany that she loved her, that all of the boys she’d hooked up with meant nothing and that all she really wanted was Brittany. And Brittany crushed Santana’s hopes of waltzing off to a Tegan & Sara show together by telling Santana she loved her but that she loved Artie too and couldn’t break his heart.

The episode ended with Santana, Brittany and Artie separate but in solidarity at a Celibacy Club meeting, leaving the storyline to flesh out – as it were. My personal hope was that Santana would discover Rachel’s inner hotness and there would be a lesbian voyage of discovery set to the Rent soundtrack, but alas, I fear my daydream won’t play out.

“And that’s what you missed…”

Now, on to this week’s episode and there was really just a short mention of the Santana / Brittany relationship…but here’s a micro-mini recap of their storyline.

Santana’s at her locker – remember, because that’s where everything important in high school goes down – when a forlorn Brittany approaches.

“Hey, can I ask you a question? We used to be really close and I really miss being your friend,” Brittany says.

But a hurt Santana, in full bitch mode replies, “I’m still waiting for the question.” Brittany responds by asking if she did something wrong.

“I don’t know. Did you?” Santana asks rhetorically. “All I know is you blew me off to be with Stubbles? McCripple Pants (Artie).” And whoops, I was wrong. Now Santana is in full bitch mode. You know the adage –“Hell hath no fury like a hot budding lesbian scorned.”

“It’s fine, it’s your loss because now I get the chance to write an awesome heterosexual song about Sam,” Santana continues, referring to the original songs the New Directions has been tasked with writing for Regionals. But hold up?? Sam? Last week Santana said she had no interest in boys.

“Wait, your still dating Sam?” Brittany asks, reading the collective viewers’ minds. “You told me you were in love with me.”

“I honestly don’t know what I was thinking,” Santana says, now in full “C” word mode. “Can you stop staring at me? I can’t remember my locker combo,” she says, adding insult to injury.

But speaking of insult to injury, along comes Sue Sylvester to torment her former Cheerios and to shift the mood a bit.

The girls open their respective lockers to a pile of dirt falling out and onto them.

“I don’t even remember putting that in there,” Brit says, with a mouthful of dirt.

And that’s about it for Santana and Brit for this week, save for the fact that Santana’s aural homage to Sam is a little torch number called “Trouty Mouth,” and ode to actor Chord Overstreet’s full lips.

While I must confess I got nervous for a minute that Santana would go sidling back into the closet only for the writers to forget about her lesbian tendencies altogether, but Santana’s cynical “Trouty Mouth,” indicates she doesn’t have the capacity to feign real interest in a boy as cute and sweet as Sam. We’ll have to keep tuning in to see where the story takes her. Although, here’s another suggestion, how about a Glee / Pretty Little Liars crossover in which Santana and PLL’s lesbian character Emily (Shay Mitchell) meet up while New Directions is in New York for Nationals?

I’d be remiss if I didn’t offer a shout out to Glee for exploring a touching storyline between Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss), and giving Kurt his first real kiss with a boy! Congrats to the fellas.
