Here’s a summary of tweets:
- The first episode back is called “Audtions” and is about the concept of constantly auditioning in live. The 3rd episode Murphy calls their “most controversial” and is called “Faith”. (I’m guessing this is the episode when Kurt goes to church with Mercedes)
- The only note given to the omnipresent, but silent piano player is, “You hate those kids.” They envision him at home with voodoo dolls of the kids.
