Glee - Emma gives counselling to Tina and Will 5x03

All rights to Fox
Episode: The Quarterback

[@ceceliaosullivan2621]

It was pretty cruel for the writers to make the Tina scene...Jenna was obviously mourning a hell of a lot just like the rest of the cast and they made her film this.

[@jessicaoledan4422]

I think Tina was mourning deeply, but she didn't know how to deal with/express her grief. There's a point in the episode that shows her bawling uncontrollably.

[@rubyscott6685]

Cecelia O'Sullivan i agree

[@ellieholland3311]

And Jayma (Emma) too

[@lespo1802]

@@jessicaoledan4422 That was more Jenna than Tina in that scene

[@erleenwilmen7667]

I actually think it’s good they should it. It dies not mean people mourn less. Tina was crying she did not know how to deal with her emotions.

[@georgeliapes8365]

One of the reasons I hate glee is how they turned Tina from a shy girl trying to gain confidence to a caricature of Rachel and Santana.

[@RespectMyThickness]

The writers really said “I know this is the Cory tribute but we still gotta make sure we make Tina say one obnoxious thing...we can’t let the audience forget to hate her.”

[@TristanandIsolt]

Nobody hates her and Lighten up Francis.

[@smithsunleashed]

ikr like wtf

[@zaylendaniels]

@@TristanandIsolt I do

[@zaylendaniels]

But it is the show’s fault

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@zaylendaniels You're probably 1 in 100 or less if you hate Tina. Most people don't care enough about her to like or hate her, but of those who do most like her.

[@p.c6175]

I hate that they made Jenna's real time mourning like this Ryan Murphy really lost my respect when he started screwing with Tina's character. But I guess Tina as a character was mourning too cause she was full on crying during Santana's and Rachel's Finn tribute songs and this just her way of dealing with it

[@alexandrabrown068]

I think what this scene was supposed to be was her hiding her feelings behind “I can’t wear black anymore” as in “I can’t keep grieving for so long” and it wasn’t actually her caring about her clothes. That’s why she wasn’t offended by the pamphlets and actually agreed to them.

[@HarmonyLaskoCoolChicVids14]

This scene absolutely grinds my gears. I hate that they made Jenna say that. What was the reason?!

[@carldaniels04]

"It's not about you" "When to stop talking" "Wait, am I callous?" Sorry, Tina.

[@p.c6175]

yeah I don't think Emma understood that that was Tina's way of dealing with the loss

[@TristanandIsolt]

It's comic relief when we really needed it.

[@YO-vv8ee]

Wow, this is a time of mourning and Ryan decided to make Tina cry about clothes. He is something else.

[@xavierjackson3763]

I liked this scene. Even though, it got emotional before it was so funny to see Tina talking about her fashion phase, like.....bitch what? We though you was going to commit like......girl. But, that's Ryan Murphy for you.

[@chynnadavis3077]

Lol this comment made me laugh more than the video

[@mileysreputation5608]

I think they should have actually made Tina say what we thought she would say. They were all friends with Finn and it probably hit Tina really hard. It’s horrible they made Jenna say this when she was in mourning.

[@ruthnorton4756]

Y r they not taking Tina's character seriously do they seriously think anyone will find that Tina scene funny

[@TristanandIsolt]

It was hilarious. Glee is a comedy and we need that some time during grief. Even Rachel makes a joke about Finn at the end of the episode.

[@shurlandsoverall1198]

In this scene, Emma is seen giving grief counseling to Tina. She says, "Tina, I'm really glad that you took the time to come talk to me today. I know a lot of young people have trouble expressing feelings of sadness." Tina tells Emma, "I just don't know how much longer I can do this." "Do what?" Emma asks her. "I just don't know how much longer I can wear black." Tina responds. "I feel like this look is so Tina two years ago. And I spent so much time transitioning away from goth, and look at me, it's like I'm back at that look." Emma says, "okay, yeah, I'm just gonna see what I have in my drawer here." Then she goes into her drawer and she pulls out a couple pamphlets and goes to give them to Tina. She says, "why don't you have a look at these on your way out, okay?" After receiving the pamphlets, Tina looks at them, gets up and hugs Emma and proceeds to leave the office, as Will comes into the office at the same time. Emma says, "hey, right on time for your one-thirty." "Em," Will says, "I'm happy that some people are finally coming to you for help....but I don't think I need grief counseling." Emma says, "have a seat. Come on." At that point, Will inhales as he sits down next to her. Emma lays her hands on his hands, and says to him, "Will, I was with you when you found out that Finn died, okay? I stood right next to you at the funeral. And I couldn't help but notice something." "What?" Will asks. "You haven't cried." Emma says as she looks at him. Will looks at her, confused. He asks, "What are you saying? That, that I don't feel anything?" "No," Emma replies, "that's not what I'm saying." "Of course I feel something, Emma." Will says to her. "I-I feel...." Then he gets up, paces the room, and says, "I feel more than I know how to express." He pauses for a brief second and says, "I'm heartbroken. To be honest, I don't even know how we're all supposed to move forward. But in the meantime, I have to make sure that the people around me are taken care of." "Okay, right, okay." Emma says while she gets up and moves closer to Will. Will stammers when he speaks, but Emma says to him, "listen to me. Listen, I love you, okay?" "I know." He says. "Whatever you feel, have, or whatever you want to share, it's okay." She tells him. "I just....I think there's gonna come a time when you need to....let it all out. And I want you to know that I plan on being here for you when you do." Will kisses Emma's forehead and tells her, "i have to get to class." Emma says, "okay." Then Will leaves the office as Emma watches him.

[@TristanandIsolt]

You don't know it when you're watching this scene, but it was the ultimate set up for the final scene at their home. To me that is the best scene ever in Glee. I think it was a big mistake of the show as they phased Will and Emma out and made the focus so much more about the kids. Matthew Morrison and Jayma Mays can act circles around most of the kids.

[@remysumner5501]

Truth

[@dorothybowen9797]

TristanandIsolt this is late but this is so true. Jayma and Matthew make the show for me.

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@dorothybowen9797 Your reply brought me back here which brought me back to the scene where you find out Will stole the jacket. Not one word spoken by either and it conveys more emotion than can be expressed in words.

[@dorothybowen9797]

TristanandIsolt that and all of Emma’s scenes where she’s having panic attacks just feel so real. Jayma’s portrayal is almost frightening at times, especially in the scene where Finn walks in on her having a panic attack.

[@maxeyre2024]

I think Will and Emma were in the show plenty, it is a teen show that teens watch.

[@chrisnoziere2893]

Rest In Peace Cory you didn’t deserve to die so young!🙏

[@alexandrabrown068]

I know the Glee kids would’ve probably disliked Tina for this scene, but what I think people aren’t understanding is that this scene was supposed to be was her hiding her feelings behind “I can’t wear black anymore” as in “I can’t keep grieving for so long” and it wasn’t actually her caring about her clothes. That’s why she wasn’t offended by the pamphlets and actually agreed to them. I’m not saying this scene was smart but I don’t think it was simply her complaining about having to wear black.

[@trekkiegirll1701]

I think you're right but if that's the case then it makes me mad that Emma as a guidance counselor couldn't see that's what she was doing, and instead of trying to dig deeper and help her deal with her grief she just brushes her off.

[@TristanandIsolt]

I appreciate all the kids in the show, but Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays and Matt Morrison are the best actors on the show. This scene sets the stage for the letter-jacket reveal at the end once again with Jayma and Matt.

[@shurlandsoverall1198]

1:07 "You haven't cried. " I believe that mr. Shue was doing his best to be that rock for the kids.

[@Rachelgott77]

I felt bad for Matt he was mourning and the fact that the showed how he felt at the end made me really think on how Matt felt through that whole day of filming that episode he was trying to do his best at being professional but he looked so heartbroken during the will and Emma talk

[@gracesbeautifullife5187]

To be fair, lots of people do focus on things that may seem trivial or not matter, because they are trying to avoid their grief. So maybe Tina was doing that???

[@laylawindwirth3125]

yes 100% that, she didn't know how to express her feelings

[@livegwendolyne6783]

“ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU” “WHEN TO STOP TALKING” LMFAOOOOOO

[@boredtired6785]

0:34 Look at the top pamphlet. Just read what it says.

[@Romy---]

All of them

[@kerseyalejo3718]

Ngl the Tina scene made me laugh lmao, like at least it lightened the mood and made me forget abt the pain for a bit lol

[@obohemma1983]

Finn death was hard on mr shu he took finn as a son he was his best man in his wedding mr shu and Rachel stay strong we love you cory

[@shurlandsoverall1198]

1:21 "I'm heartbroken". Don't worry, we all are, Will.

[@Comixknowledge30]

Emma is so funny with her pan flits

[@whosptoly]

yeah it’s disrespectful of them to jenna to write tina’s scene like this. but for the character, you have to remember that grief is different for everyone, and everyone shows it differently. the shock can be so much you don’t even realise the person’s dead!! which i think is what they were trying to do here, and honestly it fits in with tina’s “obnoxious” character

[@cng507]

Gonna be in the minority here and say that I actually kinda liked this scene. Sometimes people react weirdly to the loss of a friend and this is one of those ways.

[@shurlandsoverall7745]

Hey there can you add the scene where santana fights with sue? Thanks

[@beccagregory3586]

Tina should have said something like she used to wear black because she liked it but now it's because of a loss of a friend and she doesn't know how much longer she can do it or something like that

[@ZTGAMEZ]

damn emma just called Tina self-centred without even calling her self-centred

[@dlmbs]

Kurt's opening scene please!!!

Selfish...

[@p.c6175]

well I think it was just her way of dealing with the pain and Emma didn't understand it. She cries uncontrollably through out the whole episode

Sabine thaller

[@shannonsmith4174]

i mean really does anyone actually miss him i don't he was not a positive role model for kids he was a failed singer a failed dancer someone who didn't respect himself or his partner enough he turned to drugs and alcohol i never knew that so many of the "stars" would die after leaving of their own making they both turned to drugs she was worse she swallowed a whole pharmacy she had over 20 different drugs in her system and looking after her son at the same time really? i think the rest of the glee cast should speak to a therapist before they end up dead too....

[@daisycook2366]

Here’s an example of an opinion you are entitled to have, but should keep to yourself. Nobody knew what was going on in Cory’s personal life, or the reasons why he turned to alcohol and drugs. Have a bit more compassion for those with lives not quite as easy as yours.
