Quinn standing up for herself and the glee club against Sue in episode 12 "Mattress" by blackmailing Sue Sylvester not only into letting her back on the squad, but also giving the Glee Club a yearbook page.

• Doubled by her then telling Sue she doesn't want to be a Cheerio after all.

Rachel singing Don't Rain on my Parade at Sectionals.

Kurt "taking one for the team" in episode 8

Kurt winning the football game in episode 4.

"Kurt's Turn" where he belts out "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy in front of a giant "Kurt" light sign after ditching his fake flannel persona. Also counts as a Tear Jerker for some, as it's right after his Cutie Breakage.

Three words: Artie's Safety Dance.

Kurt's Dad: No one pushes the Hummels around, especially cowards on the phone.

Figgins giving Sue a massive figurative bitch-slap from by firing her in "Sectionals" after she leaked New Directions' set-list to the rival Glee Club.

The glee club winning sectionals despite having to come up with their numbers on the spot, having their original numbers leaked to their competition, and judges who obviously don't know what they're doing.

Puck's comeback during the football game in episode 4.

"Mr. Schu, you forgot your keys." "No I didn't."

Emma confronting the rival school choir mentors at sectionals, and calling them out for resorting to cheating to win.

The entire Glee Club saving Kurt from being beat up by the jocks. Your Mileage May Vary on how awesome Finn's outfit was.

Will finally manned up in Episode 12. You know what I mean.

In "Funk", after New Directions learn about the brutal humilation Rachel suffered at the hands of Vocal Adrenaline, the boys are incredibly furious and don’t heistate to go after the members of Vocal Adrenaline in her defense

Emma telling off Will in Episode 16 takes the cake.

Quinn at the end of episode 3, telling this to Sue:

—"When you truly believe yourself, you don't need to bring other people down"

Tina pretending to be a vampire in order to get her Goth style back, adding that Asian vampires are the worst kind. Totally true!

Kurt standing up to those two football players.

• The outrage in his voice as he yelled out "Excuse me, were you dropped on your heads?!" was simply awesome.

Puck, Mike and Matt choosing Glee Club in episode 8

Artie FINALLY telling Rachel how irritating she can be.

Santana of all people admitting she likes Glee and saying she wouldn't spy for Sue anymore.

April buying out the auditorium and effectively becoming the glee club's fairy godmother.

Sue giving Will a Pet the Dog moment by persuading Figgins to give New Directions one more year.

Will smashing Sue's trophy.

Sue donating money to the school to build new ramps for the disabled.

Rachel to that obnoxious director in Acafellas. "You're fired. And I'm taller than you." ...Marry me, girl.

The club's season finale performance of a medley of "Journey" songs, including "Faithfully", "Any Way You Want It", and "Don't Stop Believing" in quite possibly one of the most awesome instances of TV this troper has ever seen. Despite not winning, it was an unbelievably awesome performance.

Although New directions loses at Regionals they obviously put on the better show. We don't see the audience's reaction to Aural Intensity's performance, and duing Vocal Aldrenalin's some people are waving glowsticks and whatever, but New Directions has them dancing in the aisles. To this former glee club member that's a win, no matter what the judges say.

Bryan Ryan and Will's duet "Dream On"

Bryan Ryan (AKA Neil Patrick Harris) and Will's time in the bar, singing "Piano Man."

Mercedes inadvertently giving Sue a good reputation because she sang "Beautiful" during the pep rally instead of forcing herself to lose weight and dressing in a standard uniform.

Will kissing Emma in "Journey," telling her that he loves her and that he'll fight for her love.

The football team dancing to "Single Ladies".
