"What the World Needs Now" is the sixth episode of the sixth season of the American musical television series Glee, and the 114th overall. The episode was written by Michael Hitchcock, directed by Barbara Brown, and first aired on February 6, 2015 on Fox in the United States.
The episode takes place as Mercedes Jones returns to McKinley High to help Rachel Berry with New Directions, and at the same time convince her to attempt to return to New York to be on Broadway. Meanwhile, Santana Lopez and Brittany Pierce prepare for their wedding as Brittany tries to repair the torn relationship between Santana and her grandmother. Special guest appearances were made by Ken Jeong and Jennifer Coolidge as Brittany's parents, Pierce Pierce and Whitney Pierce, and Ivonne Coll who reprised her role as Alma Lopez, the grandmother ("abuela") of Santana Lopez.
Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) and Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) have awkward meetings as they realize that they are starting to feel romantic emotions for each other based on their previous encounters, but Sam also still has feelings for his former girlfriend Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley). Meanwhile, Brittany Pierce (Heather Morris) discusses her wedding plans to Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera) with her parents Pierce (Ken Jeong) and Whitney (Jennifer Coolidge). They reveal to her that Brittany's real father is Stephen Hawking, which explains her extreme intelligence. Rachel and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) give New Directions members Kitty Wilde (Becca Tobin), Spencer Porter (Marshall Williams), Jane Hayward (Samantha Marie Ware), Roderick (Noah Guthrie), Mason McCarthy (Billy Lewis Jr.) and Madison McCarthy (Laura Dreyfuss) (joined by New Directions alumni Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale), Brittany, and Santana) their assignment to sing songs composed by Burt Bacharach, and they have brought in Mercedes to assist. Mercedes also tries to convince Rachel to pursue her relationship with Sam, while also informing her of an audition for a new show in New York that Rachel has been accepted to. However, Rachel is still scared from her previous failures and is not sure she wants to audition. Mercedes asks the male members of New Directions along with Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) to help her convince Rachel.
