The second episode into part two of season one. The Power of Madonna inspires Cheerios coach Sue Sylvester to play her songs in the corridors of McKinley High School.

Open with Sue continuing to blackmail Figgins. She wants to play Madonna over the PA all day long and eventually find a group of students to ship off to New York City much the way Madonna did to start her career.

Sue tells her Cheerios that she wants them to be as much like Madonna as possible: younger men, only going by first names, etc.

Rachel tells the team Jesse recently asked her to go all the way. She said no and he got “crabby.” Other girls tell her that guys have been treating them poorly recently. Rachel tried to dicuss the issue with Emma but the counselor wasn’t much help.

Emma tells Will she’s worried talking about sex is her “blind spot.” He wants to find a way to help the girls feel more confident.

We see the Cheerios perform rendition of “Ray of Light” using stilts. Will watches the performance and hears a few more hair jokes from Sue.

Will tells the Glee kids he wants to go with a Madonna theme as well. Finn and Puck are worried that doing Madonna songs isn’t quite masculine enough. Will tell the guys they’ve been misogynistic recently and they can learn from Madonna’s music. Kurt says he would like to undertake a multimedia project with Mercedes. Rachel leads a version of “Express Yourself.”

Santana is looking for a younger inferior man to make Sue happy. The thought is that if she takes Finn’s virginity he’ll follow her forever. Santana approaches Finn with a propotion of helping him lose his “big V.” He says he has feelings Rachel, but Santana counters that she is into Jesse.

Sue meets with Emma. Sue won’t allow Madonna to be played in Emma’s office because she has zero sexuality.

Rachel wants to do a mashup of Madonna songs with Finn. He asks her about Jesse and she confesses to being involved with him. They perform a combination of several Madonna hits.

Kurt and Mercedes tell Will their plan is to make a Madonna video. Sue is upset that Will is doing Madonna with his kids. This leads to Will making fun of Sue’s hair which infuriates her.

Finn tells Santana he wants to take her up on the offer for sex.

Kurt and Mercedes go to Sue’s hair and tell her they think they can help her. Sue is actually jealous of Will’s hair because she’s never liked her own. The want to find her a new look and use the Cheerios in their video.

Jesse apologizes to Rachel about being out of line the other night. He is willing to wait until she is ready to go all the way. Rachel says she is ready. Cut to Emma telling Will that she wants to have sex as well.

We see Kurt and Mercedes’ black and white video of Madonna’s “Vogue,” with Sue as Madonna.

Next we have a montage of the three potential virginity-ending Friday nights — Rache/Jesse, Finn/Santana and Will/Emma — fooling around to a soundtrack of “Like a Virgin.” We don’t see whether any of them complete the act.

Despite the ideas presented to her in the video, Sue has gone back to her original look. Based in part of compliments from Figgins, Sue believes she is an original.

Finn asks Rachel about her date with Jesse. Rachel said having sex was no big deal, but we see via flashback that she didn’t actually go through with it. Finn tells Rachel that he didn’t have sex with Santana, but we see that he did it but felt guilty about it afterwards.

Emma and Will didn’t go through with it either. Emma tries to apologize to Will, but he tells her she doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. Will wants her to get counseling for some of her problems. Jesse walks into Will’s office.

Will tells the Glee club that Jesse has transferred to McKinley and is now part of the group. Everyone in the clue hates the idea for different reasons. Jesse tells Rachel that he did it because he cares about her enough to leave Vocal Adrenaline.

Cut to Cheerios performance of “4 Minutes” led by Mercedes and Kurt. Afterwards they tell Will they’re tired of being passed over and are going to be members of both Cheerios and Glee.

The guys in Glee perform “What it Feels Like For A Girl.” They are learning to “make it right with the girls.”

Finn tells Rachel he had been really into her but he blew it. He promises Jesse that he will stay away from his girl.

*addition* Finn invites Jesse and Rachel to the auditorium, where he’s prepared a new vocal number.

The glee club performs “Like A Prayer,” with Kurt and Mercedes earning more singing opportunities. A gospel choir joins them, and the episode ends with Jesse and Rachel hugging.
