Numbers included "Fire and Rain," "525,600 Minutes" and "If I Die Young." If certain key details relating to Finn's fate were glossed over, reality intruded vividly on the show's make-believe tale, not only by Finn's absence but by the particular grief displayed by Lea Michele's character, Rachel, who didn't appear until late in the hour. Michele and Monteith had been romantic partners off-screen, and the loss she displayed in her scenes as Rachel must have been heart-felt. "I loved Finn," Rachel said, choking up, as she stood before the glee club crowd. Then she tearfully sang the episode's show-stopper: "Make You Feel My Love." While the storyline didn't touch on the issue of drug addiction, a brief public service announcement delivered by cast members over the closing credits reminded the audience how Monteith had battled substance abuse and lost his battle. "Glee" now takes a break of several weeks as Fox airs baseball's World Series.
