Mercedes's Thoughts: I am so glad that I left those crazy New Directions. People like Rachel were getting on my nerves, taking all of the lead solos. I know I'm a star. I'm Beyonce--and I'm gonna say it again--I ain't no Kelly Rowland!
(Just then, Mercedes saw Santana walk down the hall, still upset from the other day.)
Mercedes: Girl, you look like you're on suicide risk.
Santana: It's obvious, I am.
Mercedes: Why?
Santana: Someone, I don't know who it is, told my secret about me in pag-ibig with Brittany. And when I find out who it is, I'm gonna go Lima Heights Adjacent on their ass.
Mercedes: Can I ask a real quick question, though?
Santana: Spill it.
Mercedes: What the hell is Lima Heights Adjacent?
(Silence.)
Santana: I've told everyone at this school 100 times. It's where I was raised.
Mercedes: Well, yeah, but what does that have to do with your situation?
(Silence.)
Santana: Forget you. I'm just gonna go to class.
(Santana went to her susunod class, hearing chuckles from students surrounding her. Mercedes felt really bad for her...and then had a sudden thought.)
Mercedes's Thoughts: New Directions.
(Later on in the day, the Troubletones were onstage in the auditorium, practicing a new song. All of the New Directions members walked on the stage.)
Finn: What do you want us for?
Kurt: I was working on my campaign, and I got a call from Mercedes.
Tina: Mike and I were practicing some dance moves in the dance room.
(Silence.)
Artie: Who gave this girl lines?
Quinn (confused): Yeah, and how the hell did I end up back in New Directions? And where's my Skank outfit?
(Silence.)
Puck: You basically bitched yourself back the other day.
Quinn (confused): Huh?
Santana (folding her arms): One of you jerk heads spilled my secret, and I wanna find out who so I can shove a pole in your throat.
Rachel (to Finn): Tell me it's not you, Finn.
Finn: It wasn't.
Rachel: Well, don't you remember when Santana shoved that new Irish kid into his locker? And then when you were defending him, she called you a whole bunch of names and insulted you.
Finn: Yeah, but I didn't tell her secret.
Irish kid (assuring Rachel): I didn't, either, but I wanted to.
(Silence.)
Finn: Really, Rory?
Rory: She treated the both of us terribly, Finn Hudson. My uncle would kick her to Kingdom Come.
(Silence.)
Santana: Um, what the hell did you say?
Mercedes: Just forget it. We're still trying to find out who did this to Santana.
Puck: We don't know.
Tina: Can I ask you guys something?
Quinn: You want another line in this?
Tina: Yeah, but--
Rachel: That would be a bad idea, Tina, especially now.
Tina: But I wanna know why Brittany--
Mercedes: Shut it, vampire.
(Tina makes a disappointed, embarrassed face as she sinks her head.)
Artie (raises his hand): Guys, why is Brittany on your side?
Mercedes: I felt that she needs girl power to help support her in the presidential election, especially since the whole Santana-being-a-lesbian thing was told to the whol school.
Brittany: Also, I heard that Blaine and Kurt had sex, and I was thinking about that girl in a movie I watched where the gay guy Nawawala his control and raped the girl. I didn't want to end up like that, so...
Tina (shocked): I was just about to--
Mercedes: Tina, I think you should go.
(Tina walks out of the room, leaving everyone else with the conversation.)
Rachel: Please don't try to get on us, Mercedes. We honestly didn't do anything. I swear.
Finn: Me too.
Rory: In honor of the Irish, New Directions have all my support.
Santana: Hey, kid, beat it.
Rory (confused): Beat what?
Santana: Leave.
Mercedes: Don't be mean.
Santana: It was probably him who got my secret out. I've always hated you, kid. But you really crossed me.
Rory: No, I didn't--
Finn: Back off him.
Puck: You Troubletones are lame. If you can't trust us, then we're outta here.
Artie: I always thought of you guys as friends, but now you're officially not anymore.
Quinn: Well, I'm gonna go. I have to call Child Protective Services again. The last time I did, someone was watching 'Jersey Shore', and I couldn't get a hold of them.
(All of New Directions left the auditorium, leaving the Troubletones sa pamamagitan ng themselves.)
Mercedes (to Santana and Brittany): Do you think they're lying?
Santana and Brittany: Hell yes.
Mercedes (surpised): Damn you, Brittana.
