Glee (season 4) List of Glee episodes

"Sweet Dreams" is the nineteenth episode of the fourth season of the American musical television series Glee, and the eighty-fifth episode overall. Written by Ross Maxwell and directed by Elodie Keene, it aired on Fox in the United States on April 18, 2013. Special guest star Idina Menzel returns as Rachel's biological mother, Shelby Corcoran. This is the last episode to feature Cory Monteith as Finn Hudson, who died three months after the episode aired.

Glee club director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) announces that the theme for Regionals is "Dreams", and finds out that Roz Washington (Nene Leakes) has been called to replace Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) as coach of the Cheerios. Football coach Shannon Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones) encourages Will to make amends with Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), who is attending the University of Lima with Noah "Puck" Puckerman (Mark Salling), but Finn rejects Will's apologies, stating that he is too busy with college.

In New York City, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) is preparing for her audition for the revival of Funny Girl. Her biological mother, Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel) visits her and advises her not to perform one of the musical's songs and instead do something new. They then duet on "Next to Me". Meanwhile, Finn and Puck join a fraternity after performing "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" in a party after their sound system breaks down.
