Saving Private Mercedes

Saving Private Mercedes is the twenty-first episode of the first season of the fanfiction series, Glee: Los Angeles, and the twenty-first overall. It was written by REBƎLReloaded, former writer of Glee: The New Years and Glee: Make it or Break It. It is the first part to the two-part season finale.

Mercedes's enthusiasm increases, despite her lack of focus on her music career, but she encourages Harmonic Explosion to be energetic, making a dance assignment that requires a special guest, Mike Chang, to mentor the kids. Marcus puts Kit to the test on how to dance, although Kit's stubbornness takes over. Aaliyah feels the need to loosen up and show a different side of her.
