When Rachel is cast in a NYADA student body film that requires her to go topless, she'll have to struggle with the Old Rachel if she's to move forward.
Eddy Chen/FOXRachel Berry will be very torn in Thursday’s “Naked” episode of Glee.
During the episode, Rachel will be forced to pick between her old conservative persona and her newfound big-city attitude when she is up for a part that requires her to do a topless scene.
“She’s torn between the old Rachel and the new Rachel,” Lea Michele recently told The Hollywood Reporter. “The new Rachel is more grown-up, and she’s making more adult decisions, but the old Rachel in penny loafers and knee-highs would never do anything like [a topless scene].”

For the episode, Michele says she “got to do a duet with myself where the old Rachel is singing with the new Rachel. We did this awesome song, and I had to do the whole thing as the new Rachel and then again as the old Rachel, and they’re syncing it together to have me on-screen together. She’s torn.”
Meanwhile, Sam and Blaine are apparently successful in dethroning the Warblers, and New Directions finds itself back in its old choir room — and in dire need of raising money for Regionals — when Tina comes up with the worst-kept secret on Twitter: a Men of McKinley calendar. (Kitty’s Twilight slam, meanwhile, is inspired.)

Elsewhere, Brittany and Sam receive their SAT scores — earning the highest and lowest scores ever recorded at the school, which causes a bit of friction between the new couple. While Brittany is “one of the smartest people in America” — she wants to go to college at the University of California at Charles Barkley’s house — Sam doesn’t seem to be taking his horrible scores well.
