I really like the way you're developing this story -- nothing is simple or easy, because nothing in this situation would be simple or easy. It's interesting to see Quinn's slow shift to considering Tina and Mercedes as potential friends, and the way Tina and Rachel both offer to open their homes to her if neccessary. I love that Quinn's computer-savvy enough to hack Jacob's blog, and that she's vindictive enough to get petty revenge on Sue at the same time via her choice of post topic.

It's also really interesting to see how much Kurt keeps to himself -- that Tina is surprised Quinn thinks he'll be a good father, and that Rachel thinks he'd pressure her into an abortion. Also, I like how Kurt is willing to at least listen to Will's explanation when Quinn asks him to, though he's obviously still massively pissed off. I do wonder what will happen now that Quinn is willing to forgive while Kurt isn't. That seems like an explosion waiting to happen... which makes sense. They're neither of them perfect, and I like how, even though they're learning to work together and understand each other, they still have all kinds of differences and disagreements.

Also also, I like how even Rachel jumps to the wrong conclusion about the visit to Planned Parenthood. High school rumor mills are fast, but man, they put out a lot of disinformation.

Thank you! Quinn was trained by Sue Sylvester herself, so she knows exactly what buttons to push to make someone else miserable, and likes to get the most bang for her buck. It amuses me that blog is now locked... a small part of me thinks she permanently took it out since Jacob can't get back in... (assuming he doesn't have some password recovery system...)

This is kind of challenging to write, characterization-wise, since it's still early in the first season. Kurt hasn't shown the Glee Club anything special, so they're very much seeing him through the lens of his stereotype.

As for what's next... well, you'll see in the next scene. I will say the Kurt/Quinn relationship is very much a pressure cooker.

The reason I selected Planned Parenthood (aside from it being a good entry organization for teens in this type of mess) is because of how associated it is with abortion. It's a logical conclusion for people to jump to.

I haven't had a chance to read the next part of Guardian yet, but I'll let you know what I think when I get there!!!
