Mike really wants to get his grades up. He walks by the Glee-room and decides to dance a bit. He looks around and starts dancing pretty hard. He looks in the mirror and his dad is "there" telling him that is a waste of time. His girlfriend shows up and tells him that she knows who he is truly when she sees him dance. She's not really there, either. He is terribly conflicted. He is late for the audition and he wants to audition for Griff. He says he's been working on his singing.

They are all telling her that she's selfish. She's not feeling well, she's got pain. She ain't going. It's over for her, apparently.
Mike's mother shows up to give him grief for the dancing. He says he auditioned. He doesn't want to be a surgeon or a lawyer. He wants to be an artist, the only time he really feels special is when he dances. She starts to cry. She tells him that her job is to support his dreams. They are going to be honest once they know if he got the part with his father. He asks what dream she let go of, she said that she loved dancing. He tells her that some people think he's a pretty good teacher and shows her some steps. They dance together and it's a terribly endearing moment.

He defends her OCD, because they kept calling her a freak over it.
