 |
“Ballad” is the tenth episode of the television series Glee. The episode premiered on the Fox network on November 18, 2009, and was written and directed by series creator Brad Falchuk. “Ballad” sees the glee club split into pairs to sing ballads to one another. Rachel is paired with Will and develops a crush on him. Finn and Quinn’s parents learn that Quinn is pregnant, and she moves in with Finn and his mother when her own parents throw her out. Puck reveals to Mercedes that he is the father of Quinn’s baby.
Gregg Henry and Charlotte Ross guest-star as Quinn’s parents, and Sarah Drew appears as Suzy Pepper, a student with a crush on Will. Romy Rosemont returns as Finn’s mother, Carole Hudson. The episode features covers of seven songs, including a mash-up of “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” by The Police and “Young Girl” by Gary Puckett and The Union Gap. Studio recordings of all songs performed in the episode were released as singles, available for digital download on iTunes.
The episode was watched by 7.29 million viewers and received mixed reviews. Elizabeth Holmes of The Wall Street Journal and Liz Pardue of Zap2it were disappointed that Jane Lynch did not appear as Sue Sylvester, though Mike Hale of the New York Times did not miss her presence. Bobby Hankinson of The Houston Chronicle deemed “Ballad” one of the best episodes of Glee to date. Dan Snierson of Entertainment Weekly did not enjoy it as much as the preceding episode “Wheels” but reviewed the episode positively overall, while Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune deemed it “deliriously, deliciously bad”.
