KOURTNEY & KHLOÉ TAKE THE HAMPTONS : A HOUSE DIVIDED 609

Glee Premiere and Here\'s What You Need to Know

\'s sixth season is set to premiere Friday, Jan. 9 with a two-hour premiere, and we just got our grubby little hands on a screener of it. Want to know what to expect from the first two episodes? Read on!

1. The focus is truly back on the characters we\'ve known for six years now, in the place we\'ve known for six years now. It\'s a big far-fetched, of course, that all the notable people would end up back in Lima at McKinley HIgh, but we\'re just gonna roll with it, \'cause it\'s actually weirdly satisfying to see them all there again. Some of that season-one magic has returned, and we\'re not mad at it.

2. Newcomer Samantha Ware Is INCREDIBLE. As the (wannabe) Warbler-turned-New Directioner, she steals pretty much every scene. More, please!

3. The first episode, "Loser Like Me," shows what happened with Rachel\'s TV show, 

, and why she ends up back in Lima. Don\'t think it\'s overly spoilery to say, it, um, did not go well.

4. There\'s a very notable break-up that is much of the focus of the first two episodes. We\'re not happy about it. Especially the bar scene at the end of episode one, which is cringe upon cringe-worthy, but we all know it will be a happy ending eventually (this IS

5. Apparently Rachel is offensive to many special interest groups? Huh.

6. CUTE BABY ALERT. Not gonna say who, but we see the most adorable baby and baby daddy scene and we just DARE you not to squee. Our ovaries

7. Aside from the break-up story (you\'d have to be living under a rock in the bottom of the ocean not to know who), not much else happening, romance wise. At least not yet, in the first two episodes. (Sorry, Brittana and Quick fans! Your day will come!)

8. In the second episode, "Homecoming," the gang is all back together in episode two. At McKinley High. They are always "just a phone call away."

11. In the first hour, there is a scene with a "Yogi Bear and Boo Boo" reference that will slay you.

12. There are five new characters introduced in episode two, all of whom join New Directions, and three of whom we are totally sold on. Two of them are the Cheerios twins, brother and sister, who are so 

-y (a reference Kitty herself makes), that we just aren\'t sure whether to laugh or ralph. Is there such a thing as a laugh-ralph? The others, though, including the Warbler-turned-New Directioner (again, yes, Samantha Ware, yes), a loner with a kick-ass voice, and a post-modern gay football player, are on point!
