McKinley High’s glee club and cheerleading squad budgets are cut to allocate more money for the football program and its new football coach Shannon Beiste, so directors Will Schuester and Sue Sylvester scheme to get their money restored. Season two follows the club through wins at the sectional and regional show choir competitions before losing at the nationals in New York City, while its members and faculty deal with sex, relationships, religion, homophobia, bullying, rumors, teenage drinking, death and other social issues.
