The hour will see Brittany (Heather Morris) and the rest of the glee club cover Extreme's 1990s staple "More Than Words" when she (spoiler alert!) wants to profess her love for … Lord Tubbington.

Elsewhere, Ryder (Blake Jenner) seems poised to come face to face with Katie (Ginny Gardner) -- the cute blonde he's been swapping instant messages with -- as The Glee Project season two winner will cover Elton John's "Your Song."
