Following a lengthy hiatus, Glee returns this Tuesday with the introduction of a foreign exchange student and another cover of a Katy Perry classic.
Let's start with the latter first: Lea Michele's version of "Firework" is one of my all-tie favorite Glee numbers, putting extra pressure on Darren Criss to top it with his lead on "Last Friday Night." Is he up for the challenge? Watch the performance now and judge for yourself:
Meanwhile, Glee Project winner Damian McGinty will debut as Rory, as Irish lad who lives with Brittany and will clash big-time with Santana. Watch the new actor discuss the role, and enjoy a couple scenes from "Pot O' Gold" in the video interview below.
