ALERT! SPOILERS LIE AHEAD!

Thursday evening's episode of Glee included a disturbing, heart-wrenching sequence where gunshots are heard within McKinley High School…

And while some, including various residents of Newtown, CT, are upset about certain aspects of the episode, it seems that Glee's own gleeks are seemingly happy about how the whole thing went down!

Lea Michele (Rachel) — who wasn't actually in the episode — tweeted:

Such a moving a powerful episode tonight.. Made me so proud to be a part of this show:)

We've NEVER been so anxious while watching an episode of Glee than we were during last night's harrowing depiction of a potential school shooting in Shooting Star…

And because the subject matter WAS extremely serious, showrunner Ryan Murphy obviously had to handle it delicately so that it did NOT seem like he was trivializing a complex, sensitive subject, which is probably why he decided to include very few musical numbers.

The performances that DID make the cut were emotional, yet simply orchestrated, and they provided a much needed break from the consistent tension.

Ch-ch-check out the Gleeks singing Stay (above)!

Then, watch as Ryder attempts to seduce his online fantasy girl with Elton John's romantic classic Your Song and try to stem the tears while Brittany and the members of New Directions serenade Lord Tubbington with More Than Words …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD FROM LAST NIGHT’S IMPORTANT EPISODE OF GLEE. DON’T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET.

It’s hard to know where to begin…

For those who were expecting last night’s Glee to take an after school special approach to the very serious topic of school shootings, they were met with nearly ten solid minutes of the most harrowing and tension filled moments of the series. The show isn't the first teen dramedy to try it's hand at capturing the horror faced by students and faculty when faced with such terrifying circumstances — One Tree Hill, anyone? — but considering the episodes proximity to the tragedy at Sandy Hook, the situation hit very close to home. (Too close to home for parents in the small Connecticut town, as we reported earlier.)

But if we may say so, we thought the episode, while emotionally charged and frightfully dramatic, never stepped over the bounds of gratuitously exploiting the circumstances. Truly, we thought the storyline was handled tastefully, and just perhaps, it opened up a difficult dialogue for parents and teachers to have with their kids.

So, what exactly was the storyline? Well, as the kids all convene in their beloved Choir room for a seemingly uneventful day of singing and laughter, two shots

During last night's Glee titled Shooting Star, showrunner Ryan Murphy and his fellow gleeks dealt with an extremely sensitive, disturbing subject barely 4 months after the unspeakably awful incident occured at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT.

And unsurprisingly, some in the Newtown community are upset; not so much by the way Glee handled the idea of a school shooting, but because no one from the show reached out to anyone in Newtown to provide some sort of warning or framework of how best to deal with the episode while watching it with their kids.

Uh-oh!

While we are SO excited that the three-week hiatus from Glee will FINALLY be coming to an end when a new episode, titled Shooting Star, airs this Thursday, we have a feeling that the recently-reported "unthinkable event" that is said to go down at McKinley High could have some SERIOUS ramifications on our beloved New Directions!

Why else would there be ONLY THREE new songs this week?!

GAH! Now we're all nervous and slightly scared for everyone!

Thankfully, however, we appreciate quality over quantity, and while the tune-age may be SCARCE this week, what is there manages to pack a punch!

For example, ch-ch-eck out Blake Jenner doing Elton John some serious justice with this stunning rendition of Your Song (above)!

While you're at it, give a listen to Chord Overstreet and mama-to-be Heather Morris declaring their love for each other with Extreme's More Than Words, as well as everyone in New Directions teaming up for Say by John Mayer…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Gleeks, behold! Come April, 11th, we’ll FINALLY be getting some Sam and Brittany lovin’!

In the upcoming episode Shooting Star, Glee stars Chord Overstreet and Heather Morris will get to explore their romance a little bit more than they have until now.

Ch-ch-check out the pictures (below) for a look at Sam serenading his new ladylove, plus the rest of the New Directions.

But be sure to tune in for more than just these two. The episode will revolve around an “unthinkable event” that is bound to shift these McKinley High students’ perspectives.

Whoa! Any idea what it could be?!

WHAT?! WHAT IS THIS?!

We've only had two new Glee episodes in the month of March alone, yet we have to wait THREE WEEKS until we get MORE?!

SACRILEGE! BLASPHEMY!

But mostly, just BOOOOOO!

We want it now!

Unfortunately, we can't always get what we want, but at least we have this pretty RAD promo for the FINAL FIVE EPISODES this season of the smash Fox series, starting up on April 11th with Shooting Star!

Give it a watch (above)!

AGH! We have SO many questions that need answering!

Our biggest one of all, though, is what spaghetti boiled in a High School locker room's jacuzzi tastes like! LOLz!

What do U think? Who's excited for Glee's last five episodes this season?!
