Holy hook-ups, Batman. There is a lot going down on "Glee" this spring. Korbi TV hit the show's PaleyFest event on Saturday (March 13), where the crowd of almost 2,000 -- Paley's largest audience ever -- was treated to a screening of the show's April 13 return episode. And people, prepare to be surprised. First of all, the writers aren't wasting any time. Many of the things that you might think you'll have to wait all season to see are already in full swing when the hour opens. I won't say any more on that right now, but just know, what they've got going down is pretty brilliant. I think you'll be pleased.
