Glee Season 5 Spoilers The Quarterback 5x03 Cory Monteith Tribute

Glee will say goodbye to one of its beloved characters, Finn Hudson, in “The Quarterback,” set to air on October 10. Cory Monteith, the actor who brought Finn to life, died of a heroin/alcohol overdose in July. The episode will celebrate both the man and the character, and will no doubt be tough to watch.

I’ve rounded up the few spoilers I could find here. Watch this space for updates.

Filming of the episode completed on Friday, September 6.

UPDATE: Will and Emma, Sue, Santana, Kurt and Rachel soundbites. *CRIES*

UPDATE: A thorough synopsis from FOX television

In the wake of Finn’s sudden death, former members of New Directions return to McKinley to remember their fallen friend. While a stoic Mr. Schue encourages all the gleeks to “memorialize him the way we do everything – by singing about it,” some of the kids find the exercise more cathartic than others. At the Hudson-Hummel home, Kurt, Burt and Carole sort through Finn’s belongings and what begins as a somber occasion blossoms into a poignant and much needed family moment. Meanwhile, Emma grows concerned when she believes Will is so busy taking care of others that he’s not allowing himself time to grieve; Santana struggles with using her “bitch” mask to hide her fond feelings for Finn, and has a run in with Bree, McKinley’s “New Santana”; and following a heart-to-heart with Coach Beiste, Puck honors Finn’s memory by making a life-changing decision about his future.
