Dreams Come True (Glee)


"Dreams Come True" is the series finale of the American musical television series Glee. It is also the 13th and final episode of the show's sixth season and the 121st episode overall. Written by the show's co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan and directed by Bradley Buecker, it aired on Fox in the United States on March 20, 2015, along with the previous episode, "2009", as a special two-hour finale.

The episode features the aftermath of New Directions' victory at the 2015 Nationals show choir competition, as changes are in store for both the school itself as well as Will Schuester. It then features a flashforward to the year 2020 that explores the fates of the characters. The episode featured special guest star Jonathan Groff as Jesse St. James and special appearances by Geraldo Rivera and Andrew Rannells as themselves.

After pausing for a moment to think back on his own show choir past, Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) joins his New Directions members on stage as they are now in the finals for the show choir national championship (winning Regionals off-screen). New Directions wins, and afterwards, Superintendent Bob Harris (Christopher Cousins) tells Will that McKinley High is being converted into a performing arts school, and that Will is to become its principal. Three months later, Will is nervous for his first day, but his wife Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) consoles him. Will welcomes back New Directions members from both past and present who have reunited for this day and announces that New Directions will no longer be the only glee club choir at McKinley High, as he is re-creating the Troubletones and creating both a new all-boys group and a junior varsity glee club, but Will is not to be the coach of any group including New Directions. He then bids them farewell with a song.

Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) meets with Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) and asks Sam to move to New York, but Sam states he is happy where he is and that he has other plans for his future. Will then introduces Sam as the new coach of New Directions. Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) invites some friends to the auditorium to announce that she has been selected as the opening act for Beyoncé so she will most likely not see any of them again for some time, and she leaves the building with a song.

Blaine and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) meet Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) in Will's new principal's office and they thank Sue for reuniting them. Sue explains that learning about Kurt and his struggles opened up new worlds for her and thanks them in kind. Sue next meets Becky Jackson (Lauren Potter) who apologizes for exposing Sue to the national media and they reconcile. Sue finally meets Will in the auditorium and says goodbye to him with a song. In a flashforward to the year 2020, Geraldo Rivera congratulates Sue for winning reelection as Vice President of the United States under Jeb Bushas she states her intent to run for President in 2024.
