In this episode of Glee season 2, titled "The Rocky Horror Glee Show," the glee club decides to pay homage to the cult classic, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," by putting on their own rendition of the musical. However, not everyone is on board with the idea, as some members of the club think it's too risqué for a high school production.

The episode begins with Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) introducing the idea of doing "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" to the glee club. Some members, like Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer), are excited about the idea while others, like Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) and Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), are hesitant. Will decides to move forward with the production, but sets some ground rules to make sure it stays appropriate for a high school setting.

As the glee club begins to rehearse for the show, tensions arise as some members struggle with the sexual content and themes of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Finn, in particular, starts to feel uncomfortable with the idea of playing the character of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who is a transgender alien from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. He confides in his girlfriend, Rachel, who encourages him to push through his discomfort and embrace the role.

Meanwhile, Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) is determined to shut down the production of "The Rocky Horror Glee Show." She sees it as a threat to her role as coach of the cheerleading squad and fears that it will lead to inappropriate behavior among the students. She goes to Principal Figgins (Iqbal Theba) and tries to get him to cancel the production, but he refuses to do so.

As opening night approaches, the glee club puts the finishing touches on their performance. They are all nervous, but excited to see their hard work pay off. However, things start to go wrong as the show progresses. One of the costumes falls apart, causing Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) to freeze up on stage. The audience starts to heckle the performers, causing some of them to lose their confidence.

In the end, the glee club pulls through and delivers a stunning performance of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Will is proud of his students for overcoming their fears and embracing the themes of the musical. Sue, on the other hand, is furious that the show went on and threatens to take drastic action.

Overall, "The Rocky Horror Glee Show" is a memorable episode of Glee that showcases the talent and perseverance of the glee club. It tackles important themes of acceptance and explores the boundaries of what is appropriate for a high school production.
