I think it will be Karovsky - the way he apologized to Kurt and the way he ran off at the end of the show leads me to believe that he will commit suicide because he just can't come to terms with being gay.

I read an article with Ryan Murphey and they asked him about Karofsky and suicide and the way he was talking is that while that is what is happening in the world, he wasn't sure that was the direction he wanted the show to go because of the show being a comedy.

With that being said, I agree with indygphib. I have a feeling that it actually will be Karofsky. I know the show is a comedy and all but unfortunately teen suicide, because of bullying and being gay, has been happening ALOT recently. Glee is helping, but it is still occuring.

But we could also be taking funeral literally. It could be more figuratively since Sue is trying to destroy the Glee club. Like the line "it's your funeral", when you are about to do something extremely stupid. It could mean more the "funeral" of the Glee club and not the "funeral" of a person. We do know from the previews that Shue hired Jesse as a coach to help them. I don't think it would be Glee if Jesse didn't have something up his sleeve, especially when he said he wanted to start a business working with show choirs to spy on them.

I fear you're right, but I hope you're not. Wife and I were commenting last night that we haven't enjoyed episodes as much lately b/c it's moved too much from comedy to preachy. The only thing that saved last week's episode for me was the Fleetwood Mac music.

And I thought "Friday" was hilarious -- and they did make it sound half-way good.

Seriously, donate to and help promote the It Get's Better Project. If you don't like Dan Savage then donate directly to The Trevor Project, or any of IGB's partners. IGB's current goal is to get a copy of its book to every middle and high school library in the country. The book's transcriptions of some videos, essays and other things, all with the same message.

But at least toss up a share on Facebook now and again.

I would be very surprised if Karofsky kills himself. If they show is conscious about making a statement and saying that it gets better, then how does this portray that? His suicide wouldn't be a "don't do this" lesson, but rather an "it doesn't get better" lesson.

I would also be upset because I really like Karofsky as a character. Most media portrayals of gay men are stereotypical, so it's really refreshing to have a character that says being gay doesn't mean you're X, Y, and Z.

I am 99.9% sure that there is going to be an actual death in the show. Every description around says that one of the students suffers from an unexpected loss. There are pictures of all the kids filming in black outfits. It's not one of the major characters in the glee club, though. From what I've read, it's most likely going to be a female death. What can I say, it's summer break, I'm bored, and I like research. :P

Does anyone have a pet?
Just sayin'

ETA: Throwing out guesses - Sue's sister? or Becky maybe? I wouldn't think Rachel's mom/Idina since then the baby comes back into 'play' so to speak. The name of Chenowith's character escapes me...

Not her, because she shows up at Nationals in two weeks, from what I've seen.

I would be SO sad if Becky or Sue's sister died... it would completely take away any shred of humanity Sue has (which isn't a whole lot). I hope the baby storyline gets brought back around in some way, but I hope Idina's character doesn't die! I wanted her and Mr. Shue to get together. I really think it might be April Rhodes, I could see her having some liver problems because of all her drinking.

One site said she was confirmed safe, but you know, who knows. One says male, the other says female, etc.

I'm leaning towards Sue's sister. She's one that everyone would grieve for, even/especially Sue. Even though the kids don't really know her (that i can recall). Becky also fits that part, Sue would grieve because of her connection to Becky through her sister.

Just making things up, and trying to think of what gives Sue a heart.

I checked -- IMDb shows her as being in the episode in two weeks, so not her. Gwyneth Paltrow is also listed as being in that episode, so not Holly Holliday.

I don't really see it being Sue's sister -- I don't think that would affect the kids that much.



I so don't want to do what I need to be doing.

What about an attempted suicide by Karofsky? Maybe a loss for Lauren as she is newer and there is a story line developing.

Britanny has a cat, Lord Tubbington, also the name of her youtube channel.

All of the spoiler sites confirmed that it was someone related/connected to one of the students, so I would rule out Terri and Sue's sister....

And apparently in addition to the female rumors, Ryan Murphy/writers have confirmed it's not Karofsky.

The possibility of it being Sam's sister crossed my mind, but at this point, I'm guessing Finn's mom, leaving Kurt and his dad (who almost died himself a while back) to be Finn's family.
