After an episode that brought out plenty of shocks in the final half hour, we finally move forward to tonight’s all-new episode of Glee. While we face the fact that Santana has to publicly come out of the closet now, we also have to remember: Sam is on his way back! The former member who moved away will be returning very soon, and TVLine gave some spoilers as to what the character will be doing as he makes his return.

Though Mercedes has moved on from the Trouty Mouth, the comeback kid hasn’t forgotten about her. In fact, you can say he’s a little jealous of her now jock boyfriend. So, what will he attempt to do? Compete in a sport of his very own. Sam will be joining the synchronized swimming team of McKinley high in a January episode, and with the new sport, comes a slew of new characters that have yet to be cast:

* Coach Roz Washington, for which the show is seeking a well-known comedic character actress in her 30s or 40s.

* Synchronized Swim Team members Webber, Charles, and Vinny, who are respectively described as “a nerdy looking girl” of any ethnicity, “a handsome African-American boy,” and “a nerdy looking boy” of any ethnicity.

Episode 10 is where all the water fun goes down, and actor/frequent director for the series Eric Stoltz will be helming the episode. Stoltz directed the season premiere, as well as the previous episode of the show’s third season “Mash Off”.

The upcoming hour will be titled “The Proposal”, meaning that one McKinley girl will be wearing a ring by the end of the episode. Will it be Emma? Rachel? Possibly even Shelby? We’ll find out when the series returns from holiday hiatus in January, but until then, make sure to come back here to Durance Magazine tonight for a review of tonight’s all-new episode.

Glee airs every Tuesday night at 8PM only on FOX.
