Glee - Santana Quits Funny Girl and Makes Up With Rachel 5x13

They really tried to make us think that Santana was wrong for wanting to be an understudy and that Rachel's reaction was justified.

The show makes everything reachel is justified

[@maxstebrew6738]

It wasn’t that Santana wanted to be an understudy. She auditioned with Don’t Rain on My Parade, the exact way that Rachel performed it at Sectionals in season one, clearly to spite her. BUT Rachel definitely overreacted. Both Rachel and Santana were just as bad as each other in this season.

[@jaiden8529]

@@maxstebrew6738 Yeah she did that on purpose cause she wanted to prove to Rachel that she is just as good as her. It was all of Rachel's problem, Santana never wanted to steal her "spotlight" otherwise she would have auditioned for the main role, not the understudy lol

[@maxstebrew6738]

@@jaiden8529 Santana said in a later episode that she would go all "Showgirls" on Rachel and win. In Showgirls, the lead actress pushes the star of the show down a flight of stairs to secure herself as the NEW star of the show. This could have been said just to rattle Rachel but who knows if she ever would have gone through with it if they didn't make up.

With Rachel's talent and confidence in herself (read: ego) she shouldn't have felt threatened by Santana at all. Yes, Rachel has worked her entire life, but Santana being the understudy doesn't matter. There's going to be an understudy either way. Santana shouldn't have to quit the role just because Rachel was throwing a hissy fit.

[@crhiannonelizabeth4267]

macherie016 she wasn't threatened, she was pissed bc she worked her whole life for this and Santana auditioned for her understudy just so she would have an opportunity to take it away from her or make it less about Rachel's accomplishment.

Acually she did not she just wanted to try something new and you cant blame santana for wanting a chance at an opportunity which is the whole reason she is in new York and Rachel got what she deserved now she knows how everyone felt back in glee club when she stile the spotlight so this is karma biting her in the ass

[@revinofauzan59]

crhiannonelizabeth how is auditioning or being an understudy is taking her light? if she wanted the whole damn show for herself then her voice better not be sore when she did 8 gigs in a week.

[@jennocontreras623]

Why? WHY?! Why does everyone have to give way, or bend over just to make peace with RACHEL? It just seems ridiculous that everyone has to bend over backwards just not to upset her. I mean yeah, sure Santana said that she didn't do this for Rachel, but based on patterns indicated by the past, Rachel almost always gets what she wants in the end. Ugh, I CAN'T STAND RACHEL!

I agree. I hate Reachel with a passion. I've been in situations where coaches had told me to bend over back for another person it sucks

Santana literally bullied her all throughout highschool, and never even apologised, do you honestly think that Rachel wouldn’t be pissed that her highschool bully is a possible threat to her own dreams? And Rachel even decided to give her 10 SHOWS!!! she was practically begging Santana…

Rachel was in the wrong in this whole situation, she shouldn't have been mad at Santana for being a literal understudy, forced Kurt to choose sides then basically forced Santana to move out.

Either way, there'd still be an understudy. You'd think Rachel would be happy for her friend😑

[@OMGiGi]

Katie Hubbert I always felt Rachel was pissed because while Rachel has worked for this stuff her whole life there were other people like Santana in this case that just came in and got the part based on raw untrained talent and Rachel gets scared and spazzs not a Rachel I think she is a brat actually however this is the only reason I could think of her getting so upset about Santana being g the understudy. Truthfully Santana should’ve just womaned up and said look I chose to audition and use your song because you inspired me but because of how Rachel came in her Santana got defensive and I don’t think that she should apologize for taking away the fun because that was never her intention in the beginning she changed it to that being her intention after the way Rachel reacted

[@ashsteele1019]

In highschool Santana always made Rachel feel like crap. And Rachel just feels like that same person who tormented her in highschool might just take the part she worked so hard for and dreamed of since she was a little girl. And plus Santana didnt even mention it to her PLUS she auditioned with a song that everyone knew was Rachels go to song. So i dont think it was a case of selfishness but of hurt,fear, and bringing back old bad memories

[@annevanloo]

she also offered her ten shows but santana only wanted them all

[@riverwing7497]

Santana was being an understudy with bad intentions though. She didn't even want to be in Broadway for all of those shows that she would have to understudy.

[@theeepidural6144]

River Wing all she did was do it with the intentions to get out there. She saw the opportunity when Racheal brought it up. Racheal should’ve just been supportive and said good for you. It wouldn’t change anything. Racheal would still be lead but instead of all the bs Satana would be able to just chill in the background while Racheal belts her heart out unless she got sick or needed her to fill in for her

[@mariasanchezcarriel5883]

Never truly understood why it pissed Rachel so much that Santana was her understudy. I mean, it is necessary and what better person than someone you know is talented and your friend. She was so selfish during this whole thing

[@chrisredfield731]

Maria Sanchez Carriel Rachel tried to make peace with Her by giving Her 10 Shows and Santana went all "oh i want them all i dont want your scraps" then why doing an audition for a understud if you dont want scraps lol Santana Just did that audition because she was jealous of Rachel Santana was always the biggest bully and worst character on Glee and im glad we barely Saw Her at the end i would rather see closure of other characters (ex Quinn ) than her

[@chelbanna]

Rachel had been dreaming of that show, that role her entire life. And Santana wasn't wrong that all of Rachel's ambition stems from spite that she got from being bullied constantly by Santana and Quinn. Even if they had become friends for a while, those kinds of scars wouldn't disappear. I believe Santana auditioned for the understudy role because she was jealous of Rachel's success and wanted to try to re-establish what she viewed as the natural order of her life, which was usually her on top of everyone else. Rachel saw Santana audition and was immediately thrown back into all those years Santana belittled her, which was sort of what Santana wanted, and so they both ended up back in their high school selves, each trying to prove that they are better than the other- Rachel because it was her only defence against always being put down, and Santana reliving her glory days of being on the Cheerios.

[@mariakal605]

Maria Sanchez Carriel Dude, imagine if you were bullied for 4 years of your life in high school. Imagine you finally get the chance to move away to your dream place to finally land your dream job. Now imagine your high school bully showing up and living in your apartment, and then auditioning for a part that she doesn't even really care about. Like, Sanatana doesn't give two shits about Broadway. I know Rachel is no saint, but Im on her side here. Sanatana has been downright cruel to her in both the past and the present and I would be a mess if the ghost of my past followed me right when I thought I had a chance to leave.

[@karondukez3550]

chelbanna wow that was so perfectly summarized

[@Book_Dragon2562]

Anyone who has ever been bullied or belittled could easily understand why having Santana as an understudy would be unsettling. Rachel was mocked and tortured throughout high school for her ambitions. She was told that she should be sterilized and that her fathers should sell her back, and many other very cruel things. Rachel dealt with all that mental and emotional abuse by channeling it into her art. She told herself once she became someone and proved them all wrong, their hateful words would no longer hold any power over her. And then Santana (one of her biggest tormentors) shows up, takes over, and auditions for a role she doesn’t care about, in a forum she had no previous interest in, and becomes her understudy. I’m not saying she reacted appropriately but her reaction was understandable. No one dreams of spending the rest of their life losing to the people who made them feel like nothing.

[@noyasenpai1104]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@schokokeks1409]

I think many people don't realize what it feels like being bullied and constantly put down by sombody. Like, yeah, Rachel was a pain in the ass sometimes, quite often actually, but can we please not forget the stuff she went through in hich school, by Santana's hands mostly? That kind of an experience can give you such lasting self esteem issues and insecurities, especially when next to the person who used to bully you and made you feel like you would never be as good as them. I can totally understand Rachels feelings here. Santana isn't just her friend, she is also someone who inflicted a lot of pain on her in the past. To not want somebody like that going near your biggest dream out of the fear that a) they might destroy it or b) take it away from you is a very natural response because you've only ever experienced them destroying or taking the things that are important to you. And because you've learned that they are so much better and powerful than you ever will be, you feel threatened. Those insecurities and fears don't just go away when high school is over. Yes, Rachel was a pain, but Santana was cruel and a bully. And while they made up, it is natural that their past together will always affect Rachel and that it is always going to give her insecurities. So pretending like this is all just another Rachel Berry ego trip seems unfair. Maybe Santana never wanted to take the show from Rachel, but I think it's not too surprising that she would fear it. And that Santana went behind her back and completely copied her in her audition wasn't a great move either, especially because this was Rachels big dream. Imagine if Rachel had gone after an album deal Mercedes got. People would have condemned het just like that. But they keep on making excuses for Santana because they dislike Rachel, which isn't fair. I love Santana, but this here was just really shitty of her, especially because it wasn't really that important to her. She never loved broadway, but to get in the game and later to prove a point she almost destroyed Rachel's biggest dream.

[@carlosespca]

God no!! i hate these writters, Santana was only taking an oportunitty, and being an understudy ON BROADWAY was a big deal. She was not taking anything from rachel, who is a very selfish person. And now their trying to look Rachel like a victim.

[@DesertKitsune]

I'm not saying Rachel was right, even Rachel said she was wrong, but given her history with Santana and also seeing Santana and Quinn's friendship which was a slew of petty competitions, it's not a wonder Rachel wasn't happy that Santana came for a part that Rachel had dreamed of her whole life. Santana didn't want to be on Broadway so her auditioning didn't make any sense from that perspective. So it was natural for Rachel to revert to her more insecure high school self that was expecting Santana to do whatever she could to oust Rachel from the role.

[@wd2642]

Are you all forgetting that Rachel literally criticized herself and decided she was in the wrong and wanted to give Santana 10 whole shows? And what did Santana do? She refused and said she wanted ALL the shows. I’m not saying Rachel isn’t selfish, but stop with the double standards. They were BOTH in the wrong.

[@OMGiGi]

Wᴀʟᴋɪɴɢ Dᴇᴀᴅ I know this comment old but your right she did after she slapped her and said fanny is a New York new and that if she had auditioned for the PR day parade it would be the end of the world FORGETTING that played Maria in west side story in their school play and Santana said nothing about that! I’m just saying. By the time racheal offered her “10 shows” the damage was already done and Santana wanted to be petty. Plus the way broadway works is the understudy get the lead when the lead needs to rest their voice or is sick so they usual play lead at matinee performances. Not trying to be rude or mean just putting out an observation :)

Oh for the love of the gods, EVERY BROADWAY SHOW NEEDS A FUCKING UNDERSTUDY! I don't care about the girls' petty drama, what this has caused is the poor director now has to waste a shitton of money that's probably NOT in their budget to recast an understudy should Rachel get sick or something. Hell, that's probably the ENTIRE reason the show DIDN'T have anyone to replace Rachel with because they didn't have the time or the budget to do a recast because of this bullshit. It's a wonder they haven't been banned and blacklisted from Broadway because of this crap

[@lunaq163]

This whole she is just an understudy is really quite annoying. I think why Rachel was scared was that she could get replaced she knew Santana is a good singer and a better dancer than her. Brodway was the thing she lived for, and Santana was her bully. She had everything that Rachel didnt have so Rachel tried to focus on her talent. Back in previous seasons Rachel often felt bad for her appearance, she once even said to Finn that she hasn't got a body like Santana and Brittany. Or should I really mention the Nose Job which Santana practically triggered with her comments during the whole bullying like when she said she doen't look in Rachels eyes or somthing I think that was in Born This Way. How would you feel if someone practically gets everything who was bullied and made you feel bad and then tries to even take away the one thing you worked your ass off? Santana admitted that she didnt care about the role she only wants fame and that it dont matter how she gets it. She could easily get it somewhere else. She can sing she can dance and looks pretty. Rachel can be super selfish but still I understand her reaction pretty well.

[@auroraragazzoni4533]

When I first saw this scene I was like: "FINALLY SHE SAID SHE WAS SORRY. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE HER?! FIVE SEASONS?!" And I still think that

[@shurlandsoverall1198]

In this scene, Rachel is in the auditorium, rehearsing her lines for 'Funny Girl' Santana comes in and says, "well, you certainly are dedicated." "Well," Rachel says, "under normal circumstances, I would be, but, considering the fact that I have to worry about you pushing me off the stage at any moment, I can't slip, even for a second." "Well, I don't like that." Santana says as she walks towards the piano and looks at the book. "You have been dreaming about this role since you were in gay utero, and you have actually worked your tiny little butt off to get it, and I'm coming in second all to celebrate just the thought of it." Rachel walks to her and asks, "why? Honestly, what have I ever done to you?" "Nothing." Santana replies. "I'm just not a particularly nice person, and sometimes I make choices that seem like the right thing at the time, but, then......looking back, they're actually kind of mean. Listen, I don't want to be a Broadway star. I'm too lazy to give 8 shows a week." "Wait." Rachel says as she looks surprisingly at Santana. "So, does that mean you're quitting the show?" Santana responds, "I texted gay face director 10 minutes ago and said, 'I hereby resign as U.S. (understudy)of this production of F.G (FunnyGirl)'." "Really." Rachel says quietly. "Listen," Santana tells her, "don't get all sentimental on me or anything like that. I'm really happy for you, but i didn't do this for you. I did this entirely for myself." Rachel nods and tells, "well, that was very brave of you. Do you think that maybe, we could at least sing a song together in glee club?" "Fine," Santana replies, "but I'm not gonna sing some tired, old song we've already done. 'Cause Santana Lopez is way too badass for that." Then they smile at each other and after they make up, Oh Honey's 'Be Okay' begins.

[@SorceressRose]

Ugh, most of the comments in this section make me sick. Just because people don't understand and they just want to hate on Rachel. First off, Rachel wasn't selfish, she was hurt, extremely hurt by the fact that her former tormentor turned friend would suddenly out of nowhere, audition for the role she spent days and nights, dreaming, wishing and working hard for and to be her understudy, without telling her, made her feel like she as getting backstabbed. I can also understand on Santana's part, she lost her place in life, she was living in New York and she had no passion, no direction, no nothing. But her wanting to steal Rachel's spotlight, so she can be something wasn't right either. She even admitted to wanting to steal the role from Rachel and she didn't really care for her role or broadway in general. She wasn't being nice, taking Rachel's feelings into consideration. Yes, Santana is talented, but she didn't need to take somebodies elses thing to feel some self worth. A lot of stuff in Santana's life fell flat. She dropped out of college and I thought with Lights Out, she would have followed a career of dancing, like Brittney, be a back up dancer or an dance instructor. I think with Santana, things in later seasons, Season 5 especially, could have been written better for her. But she got her happy ending and that's what I'm thankful for at least~

[@lonnisplace1459]

Zelia We are not hating on Rachel. It's not our fault she's a fake, self-absorbing, self-centered, selfish girl who doesn't like it when things don't go her way. Santana auditioned for UNDERSTUDY. Look it up if you don't know what it means. She wasn't trying to steal anything from her. In fact, she's the one that stole from the Glee club. All of them were equally talented, yet Rachel had more solos and it wouldn't surprise me that they were pissed. Santana just wanted to do something with her life, and to be honest, I feel she's just saying all this to make Rachel feel better, which pisses me off because it's another one of those "oh Rachel's upset, the world is going to die" moments, in my opinion.

Rachel definitely shouldve been more rational in her reaction but santana didnt even care about broadway and just swoops in, how would you feel if you had to share your dream with someone who doesnt even care about it and treated you like dirt for so long? rachel even admitted she was wrong gave santana 10 shows which no actor would ever ever do, and santana openly admitted she wanted them all and that she wanted the whole role

[@deklin.14.official39]

@@Hi-vr3kd she only did that when RACHEL MADE IT A BIG DEAL. Rachel trying to give Santana 10 shows was petty. At the point, u shouldve given her an honest apology. Santana automatically for the understudy for WORK PURPOSES. She did it to get her foot out there so she could be famous. Last time i checked, Kurt worked to be class president. Rachel literally betrayed him by signing up, just bc she thought Mercedes would get maria. Santana is the victim here

[@barbiexan4378]

@@deklin.14.official39 Santana is definitely not a victim neither of them are but if we’re talking ab victims Rachel was the main one. Rachel wanted to stop fighting and give her 10 shows so that they can be friends again and Santana said she wanted the whole thing.

@@barbiexan4378 oh yes they both were awful through this entire plot. But if anyone is thd victim here, imo its Santana. I understand that rachel wanted to end it. But giving her 10 shows soured it for me. Like this was the onlu point where i couldve possibly defended Rachel. Its just that i wouldnt have added in the 10 shows part. Like it felt like an, "in case these sweet words dont work, I'll throw in 10 shows". Like its just felt weird to me. But my main thing is that we didnt have to get to this point. I get that Santana didnt tell her. But if you're too full of yourself too look past that and congratulate the fact that she, your very talented friend, will fill in for u if u ever get sick, then there's something wrong with u. In short, Rachel shouldve looked past Santana not telling her and be glad that someone as talented as her will be her understudy

[@laramira6601]

I'm going to be very honest about what I think, I'm seeing comments from people saying that Rachel is selfish and that Santana shouldn't have quit, but, for anyone who has watched the series knows that Santana is a HORRIBLE person!!! Especially to Rachel, she made Rachel's life in high school a terror, she was always making fun of her for her looks (for being small, having a big nose and dressing differently), she humiliated her, she ruined her moment with Finn by saying that he had lost his virginity to her just because she enjoyed watching Rachel suffer, and people instead of saying all these things are wrong, don't! They clap Santana on the back and make Rach look like a monster, the truth is that Rachel may be selfish, self-centered and annoying, but so is Santana! She has ALWAYS been a bitch to everyone, and it was no different here! From the moment we meet Rachel's character she only talks about three things: Broadway, Barbra Streisand, and Funny Girl! We all know that she has dreamed about this her whole life! Already she was singing "Don't rain on my parade" and Santana couldn't even pronounce Streisand yet! It was pretty selfish what Santana did, she knew how much love Rach felt for this role, how important it was and she didn't care! Oh, and by the way, Santana didn't do this because she loved Broadway, she herself admitted that she never cared about it she just did it to piss Rachel off! And no, Santana did NOT want to be just an understudy, she wanted to keep the role! She said herself that she would do whatever she could to steal the part from Rachel! Does this seem like a nice thing to do? A decent thing? I'm not saying Rachel is a saint, because she definitely isn't, but she didn't deserve what Santana did to her, she made Rach's life a living hell, always trying to make her feel inferior, calling her names, now she ruins the biggest moment of her life like it's nothing, if it were you? How would you feel, if the person who bullied you all your life, now shows up, moves into your apartment, takes the biggest moment of your career and completely ruins your life?! Would you react well? Would you go over and deliver a bouquet of flowers with a "Congratulations on getting the job"? Or would you be upset with him for lying to you and sticking a dagger in your back?! And as much as you say no and say you would have been happy for him, you and I both know that's not true, because if it really happened to you it would be very different, because it's very easy to talk about others, but when it's us... By the way, Santana in high school used to make fun of Rachel for being obsessed with Barbra!!!!

[@nickityler8685]

Rachel thinks she's so much better the everyone else and yes she can sing but no better than the rest of the club so why does she always need to whine. She always says about how people are jealous that she's better than then when in reality she isn't.

[@Hi-vr3kd]

her reaction to santana being her understudy doesnt have to do with whether or not she thinks shes better it singing. its the fact that someone who doesnt care about broadway which is rachels dream and treated her like garbage for 4 years, is now trying to steal something that shes worked her entire life for. She shouldve reacted better initially but santana wasnt perfect either.

[@cynda1178]

I don't understand why Glee thought Rachel was the good guy in this one. She was being such a brat over an understudy part, and she ripped up a picture over it willing to break up a friendship. She really needed to apologize to her.

Santana ruined Rachel best moment with Finn, refused her offer of peace , humiliate her in front of the glee club, tell her " i am better than you " , call her short and awful, auditionned to be her understandy behind her back, make everything about her , say the bullying Rachel been trought served her , act bitchy ect ect , she was the one Who need to apologized

It´s very annoying how they wrapped up this whole storyline. Like Santana had to apologize and abandon a job opportunity so Rachel could feel happy no one in Glee club achieves anything better than she does. They weren´t even friends.

Paraphrasing Santana, "I've been a cruel bitch to you; and I want to apologize." oddly enough, there're hints to them that would refer to a bond that develops in the course of their lives; almost a kind of adoptive stepsiblings based on their belief systems.

Literally though Santana was in the wrong and needed to make things right again. She’s not fit for broadway, she could never be as good of a Fanny Brice as Rachel, let’s be honest.

[@franciscogonzalezespinoza3560]

Jajaja so let me get this straight, Santana literally just told Rachel she did what she did because (her words) she is not exactly a nice person and also she was not that interested in the first place despite Rachel not doing anything to her and people still blame it on Rachel? God, you Santana fans are very creative creating excuses for her bitchy and not really neccesary ways. Not a fan of any of them, but I am totally on Rachel's side this time.

[@Daniel-po6li]

I don't know why Santana did this. It seems like an excuse to me. Because if Rachel wouldn't reacted like she did (Like come on, you have to admit that Rachel was so immature and stupid) Santana would be a normal understudy. But no, Rachel made it a competition and said that she did it cause Santana was jealous. By the awful reaction it's quite understandable Santana's behavior. But i just think Ryan Murphy just wanted to degrade Santana's character because he was a sucker for Lea and Rachel

[@franciscogonzalezespinoza3560]

@@Daniel-po6li Dude, Santana admitted she sometimes do things her way thinking it's the right choice but she ends up just being mean... she said that, not me nor Rachel, now you're crossing the screen going about how the creator of the series just wanted to give her a bad image? Justification much? We could say the same of every little flaw for everyone else... don't get me wrong, I like Santana more than Rachel, but I can see where Rachel's coming from overreacting, Santana was mean to her all her highschool and sometimes plain cruel dude, she even accepted in later episodes that Rachel was right thinking of her that way that she was willing to change.

[@ladycyndaquil2018]

Ok I'm somewhat new having only finished the show a few weeks ago but I feel like I gotta say this. They are both in the wrong in one way or another. Let's start with Rachel first, 1) she didn't work her ass off on anything now I don't know a lot about musical theater but I know this, you need more experience in order to get a part in a musical let alone the lead role Rachel just went to NYADA for a week and she already got the part the thing about any audition is experience Rachel had none, sure she's got the voice and some talent but like woopie Goldberg's character (forgot the character's name) she has drive what she lacks is foundation meaning she has motivation but not that much experience. 2) is she egotistical? As much as I've seen and remember yes in a way. Since we're using what happened in the past Rachel sent sunshine to a crackhouse, she was very clingy to finn, and she kept whining about not getting a lead role in everything but ended up getting it anyway so that she didn't throw a tantrum. Now let's move on to santana, 1) was she a bully? Yes especially to Rachel (which is why I like brittany more) santana clearly stated that after she talked to Brittany that she realized she didn't want the part. 2) was it right for her to go from being the understudy to ranting at Rachel and claiming that she wanted all the parts even though she didn't care for it anyway? No they both acted like children. The reason why she didn't tell Rachel until after she auditioned is because santana didn't want to get into and argument/get ranted at by Rachel ffs Rachel didn't even want an understudy claiming she didn't get sick when to my limited knowledge about understudys they're also there just in case the star gets hurt or has a family emergency and can't audition. I'm not trying to pick sides here nor am I claiming to know everything but will both sides of this childish argument realize that they're both in the wrong?

[@fruitsbasketforlife4362]

There’s no problem with the fact that Santana auditioned for the understudy position. She really should’ve just spoken to Rachel about it first.

[@seirrasky3581]

who cares if you don't dream of being a broadway star?!?! That was a good well paying gig on and a chance to be seen by agents and managers on stage. How stupid of Rachel. How was Santana ruining her dreams? Why does everyone have to be a loser for her to be a winner. I don't care if she was going to give her some shows.

B.M Undercover That doesn’t mean she should be fired. I’m sure if Santana told her to begin with she was auditioning, Rachel would’ve been fine. But Santana lied and that puts a stigma in Rachel’s head that Santana did it for a reason to ruin Rachel’s career. Being paranoid isn’t a crime.
