On the same occasion, Murphy talked about Rachel's future after she choked during her performance in front NYADA's dean, played by Whoopi Goldberg. "The next episodes after this really deal with the implications and complications," the show's creator teased.

It's inspirational to a lot of kids to see a scene like that and not get what you want in the moment but to not give up. That's the idea of what the show is about."
As for Kurt and Blaine's relationship, Darren Criss claimed the couple is "pretty solid," but there will be "an occasional shake-up" between the two. "I don't foresee anything crazy happening to them anytime soon," the Blaine depicter added, while his on-screen boyfriend Chris Colfer said he wanted to see some drama from the pair.

"It caught me by surprise," Lynch admitted. "It was kind of emotional doing my last scene with Dianna, and it really just caught me by surprise at how moving it was. She is just amazing and just a really nice person too. It was like saying goodbye to Dianna, which is a sad thing to do."
