 |
“Preggers” is the fourth episode of the television series Glee. The episode premiered on the Fox network on September 23, 2009, and was written and directed by executive producer Brad Falchuk. “Preggers” sees Kurt (Chris Colfer) join the football team and admit his homosexuality to his father. Quinn (Dianna Agron) discovers she is pregnant and tells Finn (Cory Monteith) the baby is his, when in fact the father is his best friend Puck (Mark Salling). Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) and Sandy Ryerson (Stephen Tobolowsky) team up in an effort to bring down the glee club, luring away a disillusioned Rachel (Lea Michele), who quits when Will (Matthew Morrison) refuses to award her a solo song.
“Preggers” introduces recurring cast members Harry Shum, Jr. and Dijon Talton as glee club members Mike Chang and Matt Rutherford, and Mike O’Malley as Kurt’s father Burt Hummel. The episode features covers of two songs, and several dance performances of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”. A studio recording of Michele’s cover of “Taking Chances” was released as a single for digital download and also features on the album Glee: The Music, Volume 1.
The episode was watched by 6.624 million viewers and received mixed reviews from critics. Shawna Malcom for the Los Angeles Times and Eric Goldman of IGN praised the comic pairing of Sue and Sandy. Goldman and Raymund Flandez for The Wall Street Journal did not sympathize with Rachel in the episode, believing her to be in the wrong. Mike Hale of The New York Times felt that there were too many storylines, leading to a lack of screen time for key characters. Kurt’s coming out attracted praise, with James Poniewozik of Time and Tim Stack of Entertainment Weekly both writing positively on Mike O’Malley’s casting as Kurt’s father.
