Season 1, Episode 8 "Mash-Up"

School football coach Ken Tanaka and guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury ask glee club director Will Schuester to compose a mash-up song for their wedding, using Sisqó's "Thong Song" and "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady. Ken senses that Emma would rather be with Will instead of him, so gives the football-playing glee club members an ultimatum by scheduling football practice on the same day as glee rehearsals. Meanwhile, club members Quinn and Finn have grape slushies thrown in their faces by the other students ready to take them down as they are no longer untouchable because of their high status.

Finn and Quinn's rule over the school may have ended, as the pair is forced to gain back their popularity. Meanwhile, Will helps Ken and Emma by giving the latter dance lessons for the pair's wedding, but it turns ugly when Ken forces the football players to choose between football and glee.

Their popularity has slipped due to Quinn's pregnancy and their partaking in the glee club. Cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester falls in love with Rod Remington, one of her local news co-workers, and makes amends with her adversary, Will. Her relationship fails, however when she discovers that Rod is cheating on her. Returning to form, Sue removes Quinn from the cheerleading squad because of her pregnancy. When Puck's mother (Gina Hecht) encourages him to date a Jewish girl, Puck begins to court Rachel.

At first she excuses herself by saying she needs a strong male role that can perform a solo. As a result, Puck sings "Sweet Caroline" as his first solo to the glee club, dedicating it to Rachel, sealing the relationship. The two ultimately break up as a result of Rachel's feelings for Finn and Puck's feelings for Quinn. Ken reverses his ultimatum after a conversation with a dismayed Finn, and allows the football players to return to glee club.
