On Monday, the Glee cast finished shooting the big 100th episode celebration aptly titled “100”. The story brings back all the original cast members, plus Kristin Chenoweth and Gwyneth Paltrow return as April Rhodes and Holly Holiday, respectively.
In the first of a two part celebration, Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) finally manages to disband New Directions. Everybody converges on McKinley High to pay tribute and say goodbye to Mr. Shue (Matt Morrison).
Described as both hilarious and moving “100” will air on Tuesday March 18. It’s a two-parter that concludes with “New Directions,” airing March 25.
We posted a first batch of photos and twitter updates from “100” HERE. But another week of shooting has produced enough intel for round two!

Director, Paris Barclay, in a recent interview with US Magazine said that “100” will deal with the death of Cory Monteith and his character, Finn Hudson in a significant way:
I don’t think it could go much farther without continuing to talk about how that hurts,” Barclay admitted. “There is so much feeling there and it affected the Glee family in such a profound way, and you can expect it to be dealt with in the 100th episode. It definitely comes back and is dealt with in a significant way.
Kristin and Gwyneth have scenes together, and Barclay says “The two of them together are hysterical.”
Check out the timeline of photos and tweets below.
A crew member posted this photo of Finn’s football jersey hanging in the locker room. *tear*
Quinn (Dianna Agron) and Puck (Mark Salling) looking cozy at Breadstix, with the gang. There will be a Quinn-Puck storyline that might involve a kiss… Quinn brings along her degenerate Yale boyfriend, played by Chase Crawford. I have a feeling he won’t last very long.

Look. It’s Kurt (Chris Colfer), maybe from the same scene? He, Rachel and Mercedes (Amber Riley) sing the song as a trio.
Early morning at Glee. Two words for you, Unholy. Trinity. #Glee100
