"City of Angels" is the eleventh episode of the fifth season of the American musical television series Glee, and the ninety-ninth episode overall. Written by Jessica Meyer and directed by Elodie Keene, it aired on Fox in the United States on March 11, 2014, and features New Directions defending their National Show Choir Championship in Los Angeles. This episode includes brief flashbacks to scenes showing the late Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith).
Glee club director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) asks Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) to be ready to act as a leader when New Directions travels to Los Angeles for the National Show Choir Competition. Carole Hudson-Hummel (Romy Rosemont) and Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley), mother and step-father of the club's late co-director Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), agree to chaperone New Directions on the trip in place of Emma, and remind the club members how much Finn cared about them.
New Directions arrives in Los Angeles, and are met there by former member Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), who has been given a record deal by Sony. They are then confronted by rival show choir Throat Explosion and its intimidating leader Jean-Baptiste (Skylar Astin). Later, Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner) speaks with Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist) because she has apparently given up on her dream of becoming a singer-songwriter. She has received no response to the songs she's been sending out to contests, and she tells him that she's planning to quit the glee club after Nationals. He and Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist) are rooming together, and after the two affirm that they are actually friends despite their past rivalry for Marley, they conspire to give copies of Marley's songs to Mercedes, who tells Marley that the songs are good and she needs to pursue her musical dreams.
