This week's episode of Glee gets the most out of the West Side Story auditions, and I have to admit that the play plot line is definitely making for intriguing complications. I enjoyed seeing Rachel and Mercedes compete outside of the practice room, as well as the way Mike Chang is allowed to shine through his bid for a part.
