Season three follows the club through wins at sectional and regional competitions before winning the national show choir competition in Chicago, while its members and faculty deal with sex, relationships, sexual identity, gender identity, adoption, domestic abuse, teenage suicide, bullying, disabilities, texting while driving, college and other social issues. Glee follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to refuel his own passion while reinventing the high school’s glee club and challenging a group of outcasts to realize their star potential.
