Dylan Armstrong

"In the space of 10 years, I've gone from believing kicking a ball at my feet was my dream to knowing that performing on them is and that's all because of one small group at William McKinley High School. For The Arts. Can't forget that part."

- Dylan Armstrong, Dreams Come True

Dylan Micah Armstrong is a current Broadway performer for the show Hit List, former dance student at The Juilliard School in New York and a graduate from William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. He was a former center forward and team captain of the McKinley Titans Soccer Team and performer in the school's glee club: New Directions. He is played by dancer Neil Haskell.

Background
Dylan Micah was born in Westerville, Ohio to married couple of 12 years: Matthew and Dawn Armstrong. He is the youngest of 3, with 2 older brothers named Eric Benjamin and Nicholas Kyle. When Dylan was 12, his mother got pregnant with her 4th child and they were expecting a girl. Dylan was highly anticipating the arrival of his baby sister until she miscarried 5 months into the pregnancy. Nevertheless, they still named her Sophia Faith.

With his oldest brother Eric being a Dalton Academy Warbler when he was in high school and with both of his parents being quite talented singers, Dylan grew up around music. However, he only really paid attention to instruments: piano, guitar and ukulele. And he only really sang in the shower, in the car and with his iPod and never really sang in front of people until he turned 12 where he was a vocalist and lead guitarist in a band called 'Damage Control' but he never really talks about it seeing as he lost contact with the other band members even though he was good friends with them all.

Dylan was first introduced to sport when he met his father's best friend Johnny Donovan. He was 8 years old at the time and has since been boxing under Johnny's wing. He had looked at other sports to keep him fit and chose running, soccer and swimming.

He joined McKinley High halfway through sophomore year after spending a semester at Dalton Academy before deciding it wasn't the school for him, even though both of his older brothers went to Dalton. The first day he joined McKinley High, he went through soccer tryouts and was chosen as a starting center forward. He was then made captain after being named MVP in a regional tournament (out of all the players in the tournament).

After seeing New Directions perform To Sir, With Love at the end of his sophomore year, he decided to keep an eye on the club before actually joining at the start of his junior year.

Season Two (contains fanfiction spoilers)
Dylan makes his televised debut in Audition. After New Directions leave the choir room when no recruits turn up after 5pm, Dylan enters and sees Mr. Schuester and asks if he can audition. He then plays Red by Daniel Merriweather with acoustic guitar and Mr. Schuester enjoyed it, telling him to perform for the club at their next rehearsal.

Dylan shows up at the audition and performs I’ve Been from Next To Normal. And he is warmly welcomed to the glee club, especially from the girls and Kurt but the other guys start to like him after he discusses NFL with most of them and Next To Normal with Jack. He becomes close with Quinn in the process and Kurt when he drops Dylan off at boxing practise. Then when Dylan hears that Sunshine transferred to Carmel because Rachel sent her to a crackhouse, Dylan is initially quite scared of Rachel but forgives her after he begins to understand what her full personality is like.

Dylan agrees to New Directions performing Britney Spears’ music in Britney/Brittany and is annoyed when Mr. Schuester says no. Then when Carl comes, Dylan finds Santana’s comments towards the dentist amusing. When he takes the blue pill, Dylan’s teeth are blue which Dylan is quite surprised at, saying he cleans them twice a day and Carl says it could be genetic.

At Carl’s office, Dylan hallucinates where he performs Britney’s Womanizer and he realises that instead of being single with all of these girls falling all over him, he could flirt back so he goes to Puck for help, who gives him tips on how to unleash his inner stud which he tries out on Santana and Brittany and they both swoon over him.

He then sings Toxic with the rest of the Glee club and when Rachel performs The Only Exception, he is seen watching the girls sing along, particularly paying attention to Brittany.

In Grilled Cheesus, Dylan is not really that bothered about Finn wanting to sing songs about Jesus and enjoys Puck’s performance of Only The Good Die Young. Then Dylan is taken out of his English lesson to accompany Kurt to the hospital after Burt has a heart attack. Dylan is then seen protecting Kurt from a hostile Finn when he eventually finds out.

When asked by Quinn about his religion, he says he was born Christian and believes in God but he doesn’t pray because he prayed for his mom pregnant with his baby sister when he was 12 and his mom had a miscarriage. Since then, he has stopped praying. He then goes with Rachel, Quinn and Mercedes to be at Burt’s beside and when Kurt sees them and asks them to leave, Dylan complies. He then accompanies Kurt on guitar whioe the boy sings I Want To Hold Your Hand. Dylan goes next and performs Feel by Robbie Williams. People are confused as to why he sang it but Dylan explains that the song is expressing his anger at some of the sayings in the Bible that go against race, gender and sexuality and that song is about finding true love, regardless of what anyone is. And also one of the lines was about a very personal situation to him, which Quinn nods at. He then apologises to Kurt about discomforting him at the hospital before asking if he could visit Burt again, to which Kurt agrees too.

At the hospital, Dylan tells Kurt about his little sister and says “Only 5 people were praying for my little sister. You have over 100 people praying for your father and I can tell you now that I believe with all my heart that all of those voices will be heard”. He then sings a verse of Not Alone by Darren Criss to show that no matter what happens, he’ll always be here for him and Burt starts to slowly regain consciousness as he is singing. They both notice and Dylan stops singing before running out and calling to the nurse. He then joins in with everyone in One Of Us.

Dylan is interested in the Duets assignment but as everyone else pairs up, Dylan decides to take a backseat, be a male alternate and aid the pairs if they needed it, with him promising that he wouldn’t leak any details to the other pairs, playing bass guitar Mercedes and Santana’s River Deep, Mountain High and being a backup dancer for Kurt’s performance of Le Jazz Hot. He sees Brittany wheeling Artie along the hall and Santana looking on and he looks on in sadness. The day before the remaining duets were due, while Dylan is dancing in the auditorium to James Morrison’s song: Better Man, he hears from Jack and Rachel that Brittany and Artie have broken up and dropped out of the competition, leaving Brittany devastated so Dylan decides to cheer her up and duet with Brittany for the assignment.

They sing James Morrison and Nelly Furtado’s Broken Strings. They don’t win the competition but they still go to BreadstiX where Dylan is about to confess to Brittany that he loves her but decides not to and they enjoy their meal. During Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again, they are seen smiling at each other.

In the Rocky Horror Glee Show, when Mr. Schuester announced that the musical was Rocky Horror, Dylan looked happy, saying that Rocky Horror was one of his favourite musicals and is cast as Eddie. When Sam, Finn and Artie talk about fitness, Dylan passes from soccer practise where he had removed his shirt. Finn becomes more depressed that he might lose the role of Brad to Dylan but Dylan assures him that he’s more interested in the role of Eddie. When Carl tries out and sings Whatever Happened To Saturday Night?, Dylan is a little bummed but he enjoys the performance and he supports Mercedes when she says she wants to be Frank-N-Furter saying that since Sue has cut Eddie in her re-writes, he would do the underwear scenes for Finn. When it’s time for the dress rehearsal, Finn asks if he could perform the scene in his clothes and Mr. Schuester said that Dylan will take his place seeing as he is more comfortable within his own body. Dylan then performs Sweet Transvestite with Mercedes, Rachel and the Transylvanians before Carl bursts in on his motorcycle. He then joins in with Time Warp dressed as a Transylvanian (Perry Bedden in the original movie) while playing guitar.

When Karofsky slams Kurt into the lockers in Never Been Kissed, Dylan warns him to back off before he heads to glee with Kurt and Tina. He then welcomes back Puck and when Mr. Schuester explains the Boys vs. Girls mash-up competition and says that Kurt has to be on the boys team, Dylan tells him not to worry as with Kurt they’ll win hands down. When Will then switches the song choices, Dylan then goes along with Kurt’s ideas and actually suggests going to Dalton with him but Kurt insists he goes by himself. Dylan actually joins in with One Love/People Get Ready before going to Dalton to see Kurt so he doesn’t see Puck give advice on how to ask Brittany out. He then meets Blaine for the first time when he sees him and Kurt talking in the Dalton cafeteria.

Dylan then goes to BreadstiX with his mom and dad and sees the double date with Puck, Santana, Artie and Brittany. When Puck, Santana and Brittany leave Artie behind, Dylan is torn whether to help him or not because he is friends with Artie but he loves Brittany. But he decides to be the better person and takes him home. When Artie thanks him the next day, they both see Brittany and gaze lovingly at her, realising they are both in love with her. He then enjoys the girls’ mash-up of Start Me Up/Livin’ On A Prayer. When going into the boys’ locker room, Dylan sees Kurt looking shocked and Jack lying on the floor. He calls Puck, Mitchell and Mike and they carry him to the nurse’s office where he explains his Wizard Of Oz dream.

He then sees Kurt lying against the lockers and Dylan rushes over and comforts him and is then seen singing and dancing with the boys In 'Stop! In The Name Of Love/Free Your Mind' and smiling as Coach Beiste hugs the football team gleeks.

A young version of Dylan (played by Maxwell Perry Cotton) appears in Mr. Schuester’s hallucination in The Substitute. Dylan is originally excited at the news of the substitute and joins in with Forget You. He then enjoys Rachel’s performance of Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag and Jack’s version of No More Sad Songs. When asked by Miss Holliday if there were any songs he wanted to do, Dylan said he wanted to do “an unusual song that is out of his comfort zone but is a favourite of his”. When Miss Holliday allows him to perform the song, it is revealed to be Paranoid Android by Radiohead. He then takes part in Singin’ In The Rain/Umbrella.

In Furt, Dylan sees Burt Hummel and Carole Hudson with Kurt and Finn and asks Kurt what’s going on. Kurt then announces the engagement and that the New Directions were the band. Dylan then looks for ideas to put forward for the wedding (seeing as Kurt gave him permission to) and he comes across a YouTube video of people dancing up the aisle for a wedding. Dylan suggests the idea to Kurt, who agrees and Dylan begins to choreograph it. Then Quinn tells Dylan about Sam and the promise ring and Dylan is slightly disturbed but then tells Quinn to follow her heart.

Dylan sees Karofsky take the wedding cake centrepiece from Kurt and gets into a fight with him. After explaining to Principal Sylvester, Sue lets him off with a warning as his intentions were to protect someone else. He then fights Karofsky again with Sam in the boys’ locker room after Karofsky pushed Mike into Artie before Beiste pulls them away. When Mr Schuester suggested going to the Principal, Brittany says no because if Dylan got another warning, he’d be expelled. Just as Mr. Schue agrees with that, Dylan’s older brother Eric (played by Blake Lewis) walks in ad Dylan is surprised yet ecstatic. Eric then says he’s staying for a few weeks with “Andrew” and Dylan nods before asking Kurt if he could come to the wedding. Kurt agrees and asks if he wants to sing as Dylan has told Kurt about Eric’s singing skills to which Eric agrees to.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">At the wedding, Dylan joins in with his Marry You number and is shown smiling to Kurt and Eric while Burt and Carole exchange their vows. At the reception, Eric sings You Give Love A Bad Name to wild applause and then he calls Dylan up where he sings Bewitched before introducing Mr. Schuester and then joins in with Just The Way You Are. When Kurt announces the next day that he was transferring to Dalton, Dylan looked shocked and devastated.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">When Mr. Schuester says he wants Brittany and Mike to perform at Sectionals in Special Education, he is happy for Brittany but after Santana announces that she and Finn slept together and Will dismisses the club, Dylan admits to Quinn that he would’ve liked the chance to perform at Sectionals. Quinn just smiles and pats him on the shoulder before walking away, seemingly finding Dylan funny. Dylan then talks to his boxing coach Johnny Donovan (played by Eric Dane) and explains the situation and Coach Donovan says to not go down without a fight.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Later on, Dylan finds out about Mike’s apparent adultery with Brittany by eavesdropping on Tina’s and Artie’s conversation and angrily challenges Mike to a dance off but Mike has one catch: he gets to choose a song for both of them to dance to. However, Dylan trips when he performs his dance and the club vote Mike as the winner.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Dylan then goes home and talks to Eric about what happened where he reveals his love to Brittany. Eric then says that if he loved someone so much, he should fight for her, to which Dylan agrees.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">After glee the next day, Quinn goes to the auditorium and sees Dylan dancing again to Gravity by Shawn McDonald. She then goes into Mr. Schuester’s office and demands that Dylan has a second chance, saying how great of a dancer he is. Jack and Rachel, who were in the choir room at the time back Quinn up, saying that Dylan is a very good contemporary dancer and that he needs his own music to dance to. Mr. Schuester agrees and the two boys dance-off again. This time, Dylan’s dance to Maroon 5’s Harder To Breathe goes perfectly and the club vote him as Brittany’s dance partner.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">At Sectionals, Dylan sees Kurt and Kurt asks Dylan why he was so protective of him regarding his sexuality and Dylan answers that “someone close to him went through the same thing and he wasn’t there for him. He wasn’t going to that mistake again”. Eric and another guy then come up to Dylan and Dylan introduces the other man as Andrew (played by Travis Wall), Eric’s partner and it all falls into place for Kurt before he thanks Dylan for being there.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">He then admits to Rachel that he didn’t know Finn and Santana slept together before he kneels beside Brittany and comforts her, saying that she will do amazingly, no matter what happens. Dylan then dances for (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life before going into the dance solo with Brittany during Valerie. He then does backup vocals and guitar for the Jack (played by Aaron Tveit) and Mitchell (played by Jonathan B Wright) duet of Fall At Your Feet and is seen holding Brittany’s and Quinn’s hands when the results are announced that New Directions tied with Dalton for first place and that they were both going to Regionals. Dylan then plays ukulele and sings with the others on Dog Days Are Over.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">In A Very Glee Christmas, Dylan joins in with The Most Wonderful Day Of The Year and sang along during We Need A Little Christmas where afterwards he said that he personally wanted to throw that shoe back at the teacher who threw hers at them and missed. He wasn’t that surprised that Brittany still believed in Santa when Artie told them and she went with the others to the mall. When Dylan sat on Santa’s knee, he asked for lots of Cherry Mountain Dew and pineapples. When Brittany said she wanted Artie to walk, Dylan was instantly worried.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Dylan came home that day to a confrontation with his brother Nicholas (played by Kenny Wormald) who left home 3 years ago when Eric came out to the family and Nicholas completely disagreed with everything gay so he left, refusing to share air with a “fudge packer”. Before the fight got out of control, Quinn stopped by and after Nicholas aggressively came onto Quinn, Dylan threw him out. The next day, Dylan invited Quinn, Kurt and Rachel to his house to give them Christmas presents and Quinn gives him a present: two silver rings with musical staves on.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">The Gift Of The Magi thing didn’t really apply to Dylan because he said he was wary of his watch and doesn’t wear it, knowing Puck could steal it or Jack could use it for…well, anything.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Hearing that Brittany had lost the Christmas spirit, Dylan comforts her before reluctantly telling Artie to take her home whilst he and the others sing Welcome Christmas. When they returned to the auditorium, Dylan grinned as he watched Artie use his ReWalk before saying that “Santa needed a little help so I hooked him up”. Whilst everyone else was watching Artie walk, Dylan looks to Coach Beiste and says thanks before Coach Beiste smiles in reply. Coach Beiste then walks away while Dylan is seen admiring the machine. Dylan also helped with decorating Mr. Schuester’s house and is shown giving Brittany a duck bathrobe for Christmas before they both say “Merry Christmas” to each other.

<p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">The Sue Sylvester Shuffle episode opens with the soccer team in the National finals. Dylan scores the winning goal and McKinley take home the trophy. When the jocks join Glee club, Dylan is initially furious, especially at Karofsky because of what happened between him and Kurt and before Puck and Rachel sing Need You Now, Dylan and Mercedes sing Scream by Michael and Janet Jackson to vent their anger. Mr. Schuester announces that the Dylan and Mercedes duet inspired him to come up with the halftime show idea before breaking up the fight between Sam and Finn over Quinn and the other Cheerios quitting to go to the cheerleading Nationals. Dylan then shows he respects Quinn’s decision before joining in with She’s Not There.

<p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Dylan then volunteers to join the football team with the girls. He plays well in the game and actually scores a touchdown. He then helps Finn persuade the Cheerios to come back for the half time show (with Dylan persuading Brittany) before joining in with Thriller/Heads Will Roll. He stays on for the second half at the request of Finn and Puck and tackles a linebacker who is about to get Finn for the last touchdown.

<p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">The next day, he sees Quinn kiss Finn and he is shocked and disappointed.

<p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">In Silly Love Songs, when Mr. Schuester reveals the assignment of love songs, Dylan asks about people who don’t have partners and he replies that they can still sing a love song.

He then joins in with Fat Bottomed Girls with the rest of the guys and after that, Brittany asks Dylan to be her partner for an up and coming dance competition, to which Dylan agrees to.

<p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">The next day, Dylan watches Artie and Mike’s performance of P.Y.T with disdain before Brittany unintentionally cancels a date with Artie to practise for the dance competition with Dylan, which raises his moods.

<p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">He then hears of Finn and Quinn’s infidelity and after he sings One Shot for his assignment (whilst gaining some glares from Artie), Dylan then goes to Quinn’s house just before Judy is about to pick her up from the nurse’s office. When they get back, Quinn and Dylan talk where Dylan says he was cheated on once but it was with a girl he was in love with and he says “Imagine how hurt I felt and then multiply it by 10. That’s how Sam feels right now” before confessing that he’s in love with Brittany but he doesn’t want to make her cheat on Artie and make her choose.

<p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt">He then wishes Quinn would feel better before heading to BreadstiX and sitting with Santana as the Warblers sing Silly Love Songs, during which he gets a hug from Kurt.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Dylan isn’t too keen on the Justin Bieber Experience in Comeback and even though Brittany seems to enjoy it, he doesn’t join as it seems too out of his comfort zone although he enjoys Baby and Somebody To Love. He also enjoys Take Me Or Leave Me.

They then go on to win the competition after the dead favorites mess up their second routine and Dylan basks in his winning streak.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">In Blame It On The Alcohol, Dylan originally agrees to going to Rachel’s party but doesn’t show up. He isn’t seen throughout the episode until just before they sing Tik Tok where he is seen to be dressed in baggy clothes and with bloodshot eyes. He looks on angrily as they perform Ke$ha and walks away after Brittany and Santana throw up before unleashing his fury in the boys’ locker room. The day after, he hands Mr. Schuester a note. The director then reads it and announces to the glee club that Dylan will be going away for a few days. While the club protests, Dylan doesn’t speak but sings The Script’s The End Where I Begin before leaving.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">When Quinn leaves, Dylan is seen in Quinn’s living room with a duffel bag next to him. Quinn notices a newspaper on a specific page and after reading it, lets him stay for as long as he wants.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">When Quinn returns home after Holly performs Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah) in Sexy, she sees Dylan at the piano in her music room. After an argument which ends with Quinn suddenly kissing Dylan, he reveals he is trying to write lyrics for his song and was inspired by Rachel’s idea of performing original music at Regionals and that if it was finished, someone could perform his song as part of their setlist. Quinn then tells him not to worry because if it was finished, he’d be the one performing it. Quinn then asks Dylan if he’ll be there for Regionals and Dylan replies “I honestly don’t know but I will try as hard as I can to muster the strength to be there.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Quinn is seen helping Dylan throughout the episode until she Finn comes over where Dylan bursts in and throws him out.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Dylan then walks past as Brittany says to Santana about Santana being in love with her. He only heavily sighs but when they open their lockers, Dylan takes them to the showers as they both are blinded by the dirt.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">He is with the others when Trouty Mouth, Big Ass Heart and Hell To The No are performed and when the group write their group song is written with Dylan saying that he used to be bullied at his elementary school by this one kid until Dylan stood up to him and that kid now washes Dylan’s car.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">He then sees Rachel running out of the auditorium crying and asks what happened and after Rachel explains, Dylan talks to Quinn about her becoming a bitch again and warns her that if she continues to be a bitch then he won’t be able to be friends and live with her anymore.

After Emma reveals her Ginger shirt, Dylan heads to the front and announces that he has the perfect way to start off the assignment before going to the door and gently pulling Jenn into the choir room, where Dylan reveals she wants to audition. There are protests with them being so close to Nationals but Dylan assures them they could possibly win with Jenn having an amazing voice. Jenn then says she’s performing a song that she and Dylan wrote 2 years ago about self-acceptance for her audition song and when she performs The Beauty Within You, she is met with a standing ovation and a place in the glee club.

And she hates that people make fun of her and she doesn’t have the guts to stick up for herself and she feels so weak and both Dylan and Quinn say that she isn’t weak and that she is one of the strongest people ever to deal with her eating disorder for so long. Dylan then turns to Quinn and smiles before saying that “she may have lost the internal battle, but she is fighting and winning the external battle and maybe you should do the same”. Quinn nods before hugging Dylan. They then all attend the “Barbra-vention”.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">The next day, Dylan sees Lauren apologise to Quinn and smiles before heading to the auditorium.

Dylan sighs in anger before another bottle is handed to him by Jazmyn Davenport (played by Syesha Mercado), who was cast as Joanne. She advises Dylan not to let Austin get to him, to which he replies "Too late" before saying that ever since his accident with him in class, he has hated his guts ever since.

He is then seen walking with Jazmyn and explaining his Rosie problem to which Jazmyn says tell Austin. While Dylan protests that he hates his guts and probably won't listen, Jazmyn replies by saying that even if he has to learn the hard way and he is his rival, no one deserves to be hurt like that. Dylan decides to tell Austin the truth, only to have his words rebuffed and Dylan decides to show him the hard way. He then asks Rosie if they want to sing a duet, which she accepts without question.

He delivers the notes and leaves without another word but Brittany follows him into the hallway, saying that she expected to fight for her or for her to break out into a ballad. Dylan replies that he's tired of fighting and that Brittany doesn't know the full story of what happened between him and Rosie but she knows about his past and if she's willing to blame it on that then it's fine.

He then turns to walk back to his seat when Brittany tells him that she's missed him. Dylan sighs and turns back, saying that he's missed her too. They then share a hug before Dylan breaks it saying that they might need some space. Brittany asks why and Dylan says that if they just get back together, it might end up exactly the same as last time whether as if they had some space, he could try and prioritize his life and options, and Brittany grudgingly agrees and they hug one more time before Dylan heads back to his seat.

Dylan then says he'll do it, hoping that it'll lead to him being spotted and it being the start of something big. Back at the apartment, Jenn and Alex ask what he should sing and Dylan says that he could sing one of his originals. He then says that he's been working on one and proceeds to perform an excerpt of a sing he wrote while playing the ukulele.

They find him at his locker packing his things and Dylan explains that transferring may not be the best solution and the Warblers are only using him for his talent. He may have been at Dalton for two years but McKinley is Blaine's home and he needs to know that because Dylan had so much going on that he forgot where his home was and that's why he transferred to Carmel but he realized that McKinley was his true home.

He then says that he's going to Minnesota to see his aunt and uncle and says goodbye to both Jenn and Alex. He heads for the station when he bumps into Rachel.

The girls then hug him. It then shows Dylan putting on the leather jacket 20 minutes before the start of the last show when Austin walks past saying "Do you need any cough medicine? Throat opener? Talent injector?". Jazmyn says to ignore him which Dylan says he will before saying "It is really hard to play his friend in this." Jazmyn laughs before Todd rushes in, saying that Baxter Nash is here and he's in the front row. Dylan suddenly becomes even more nervous but Jazmyn says he'll be fine before they are called backstage. Dylan sees the one and only Baxter Nash (played by Martin Sheen) and all of the New Directions, alumni, Mr. Schuester and Miss Pillsbury along with Eric and Andrew but he takes a deep breath when the lights go down and walks out for the last time as Roger with his guitar when they come back up.

Rachel says that they are taking things one step at a time and if it goes somewhere then they will tell him as soon as they know that something is there. Dylan agrees and says that although they have to sneak around, he feels a lot more healthier than in any other relationship has been in. Rachel laughs before they continue on, even after Kurt returns from the store. Dylan, Kurt and Rachel are seen walking through New York when Kurt mentions that he has a crush on a guy at NYADA. Rachel tells him to ask him out and although Kurt looks wary, Dylan encourages him and says that he'll never know what could happen. Rachel then says goodbye as she's meeting Brody and leaves. Kurt notices Dylan looking almost dejected and asks how long it's been. Dylan tries to act innocent but Kurt says that the dance holds they were in while practising were not strictly platonic. Dylan sighs and says that they've been like this since the cruise but he's not sure where they're headed as Rachel wants to take things slow. Kurt asks if that's what he wants and Dylan admits that he feels a lot happier but not knowing where they stand confuses him a little. Kurt says to give it time and they do make a cute couple. Dylan can only smile before asking Kurt about Adam. Dylan is then seen in NYADA after observing Miss July's class and sees Brody and Rachel laughing together which causes a stir of jealousy and leads him to go to Rachel's apartment and question her about Brody. Rachel says that she can't talk because she's preparing dinner for her and Brody. Dylan says that if she can't choose between him and Brody then he's calling it off before it even starts before leaving. After Brody doesn't show up for dinner after 30 minutes, she calls Dylan and asks if they could talk. Dylan is about to reply when Jack enters their apartment, saying he'll have to call her back before hanging up.

Naked begins with Dylan walking through New York when he receives a phone call, he looks to the screen and sees that it's Rachel which he declines almost immediately before receiving another call, he's about to decline it again when he sees that it's Brittany. Dylan sighs before picking up. They then talk about her relationship with Sam and Brittany apologizes but says that Sam was there for her while he was working. Dylan says that they weren't together anymore so there was nothing wrong with getting together with Sam. Brittany then reveals her SAT score and Dylan is impressed, suggesting that she try out for a university in New York and that she'll love it there. Brittany says she'll think about it before saying that she has to go to help out with the Men Of McKinley calendar, which Dylan questions but Brittany says that it's to raise money for Regionals and Brittany suggests that Dylan could help out which Dylan replies with that he'd love to but he's got a houseguest that he can't leave alone for too long otherwise things will get messy and/or radioactive. They both say goodbye before Dylan slips out "I love you" when the call has ended, with him realizing he's not over Brittany. Dylan returns and tries to maintain minimal contact with Jack in case the finds out that Dylan was with Rachel, knowing that if Jack found out he would kill him seeing as Dylan's past mixed with Jack's best friend would not go down well for him. But he receives an SOS text from Kurt saying to meet at his house. Dylan gets there and sees both Quinn and Santana, whom he hugs before asking what they were doing here and Quinn says that they're here to do "an intervention about a nude scene" but before either if the girls could answer, Rachel walks through the door and when Dylan and Rachel see each other, Santana comments about the "giant horny elephant in the room". Dylan quickly exits with Rachel calling out to him but Dylan ignores and continues running. He is then seen sat in Central Park with Alex after school and Dylan asks how things are going and Alex says that his mentoring sessions with Charlie are going well and apparently he's going to "test duet" Alex sometime soon. Alex then asks about how things are between him and Rachel and Dylan says that he has tried to avoid her but she always seems to be where he is and it's driving him crazy. Alex then says that him and Rachel were and maybe still are great friends but asks Dylan if he wants to cross that boundary and go into a relationship with her. Dylan says that there is something there but it's always been Brittany. Alex then says to talk to Rachel as a friend and try and be there for her, which Dylan nods at before heading into NYADA. Dylan is seen walking into the take of the student film and asks for Rachel, saying that he has an important message for her. The director lets Rachel go and Dylan takes Rachel to one side with the girl asking what he's doing. Dylan says that she can't do this. Rachel asks why he chooses now to talk to her in the first place and Dylan says that she has to be glad he made up his mind about something in the first place before saying as a friend; a really, really good friend, he won't let her do this and says "Sure, it'll feel like an achievement, finally doing a dreaded topless scene" but says that if she respects her body, she won't do it. Rachel then walks back in, looking uncertain before Dylan walks away to meet Quinn and Santana in the NYADA auditorium. He waits before he sees Rachel, smiling before joining in with Love Song. He then hugs Quinn and Santana before Rachel says "thank you" to him, which Dylan smiles at before hugging Rachel.

Dylan's first appearance in Diva is when he is introduced by Finn as "a powerhouse in his own way" and a mentor for the performances. He is seen playing bass guitar for Nutbush City Limits and when he sees Jenn at the door when Santana kisses Elaine, he quickly diverts everyone's attention as he makes his way to the piano so Jenn could leave the scene. He then dedicates the song to any other brave men or ladies daring to try a diva song before performing Rocket Man. When he finishes, Brittany asks why he didn't tell her he was coming to town and Dylan said he wanted to surprise her. But when glee finishes, Sam receives a text saying "Auditorium. Tomorrow after school. Let's hope you can actually read this properly." Sam turns up and comments about his brashness and Dylan says that it's "Diva Week" so he's allowed to be catty. He the goes on to say that he and Brittany were on the verge of getting back together until he stepped in with his cereal trail. Sam apologises but says he should have got there. Dylan retorts saying it was a mutual decision to give each other space while they work and clear their heads. They then proceed to sing The Girl Is Mine before Dylan receives a text and leaves, saying "this isn't over". He quickly runs to the football field bleachers where he sees Jenn at the top, watching Santana with Coach Sylvester coaching the Cheerios. Jenn reveals to Dylan that Santana dropped out of college and she might ask Santana to go to New York. Dylan asks about Julia but Jenn says that she doesn't love Julia the way she loves Santana but ever since their talk after RENT, Jenn has been scared to even talk to her. Dylan asks if she wants him to talk to Santana for her, which Jenn agrees to before the roommates hug. Dylan is seen walking to the courtyard when Brittany asks to talk to him, Dylan stops and Brittany says that she saw his and Sam's duet and that she didn't know he still felt that way about her. Dylan says that he's tried getting over it but nothing has worked. Brittany then asks if he was with anyone. Dylan says there was one person but it was nothing compared to what they had and still have. Brittany says she can't break up with Sam because she's afraid Dylan will break her heart again but Dylan promises that if she ever comes back to him, then he will treat her with the respect, love and kindness she deserves before leaving. Dylan is then seen in the courtyard when Tina performs Hung Up and applauds her performance, commenting on how she's broken out of her shell and he's impressed. He stands but when he's about to leave, he's stopped by Marley asking for advice. They are then seen in the choir room with Marley saying that since he was her mentor for Sectionals, she needs some advice now and she would go to Santana but she was talking to Coach Sylvester. Marley then says that she needs advice on picking a song but she wants to do something unexpected. Dylan then says he has the perfect idea before it cuts to Dylan performing piano backup to Marley singing an acoustic version of Believe, which receives a standing ovation. Dylan then hugs Marley, saying that he's proud of her. When Tina is revealed as the winner, Dylan says to Marley that in his eyes she was the best which Marley smiles at. Dylan is then seen in the auditorium when he sees Santana stood by the piano. Dylan asks how long she's been standing there and Santana says that she's been there ever since she heard Marley sing her solo. Dylan says that she should live a little before deciding to be a cheerleading coach. Dylan then suggests going to New York but Santana shuts it down, saying that no one will care about her over there. Dylan says that she already has people who do: Rachel, Kurt, Alex, himself and a particular redhead. Santana replies that after what she said after RENT, Jenn won't want to talk to her. Dylan says to try at least because she misses her and she would kill her if she didn't follow her dreams because she cares about Santana. She seems unsure so Dylan tells her to think about it before leaving. Back at New York, he is then seen at Rachel and Kurt's apartment with Jenn when there's a knock at the door. Kurt answers and when Santana walks in and announces she's moving in, he looks happy before looking to Jenn and signaling her to go forward. Santana is about to apologize when Jenn pulls her in for a hug, saying she missed her. Santana smiles and says she missed her too. Dylan watches the interaction with a smile on his face.

I Do first shows Dylan at his apartment and he walks in to see Jack and Jenn talking about the wedding and Jenn asks who he's going with and Dylan says he's taking a dancer from a class. Jenn shows surprise that he's not taking Jazmyn or Quinn with him but Dylan said that she's busy with work, Quinn vowed to go with Santana and it's obvious that this girl likes him and she's nice, sweet and attractive. Jenn tells him to go for it which Dylan smiles at. At the wedding, Alex and Charlie and Jenn and Jack are sat down when Dylan walks in with the dancer from his class who introduces herself as Cecelia "CeCe" Murdock (played by Leighton Meester) and they sit down, smiling and laughing with each other until Dylan catches Brittany's eye. He then says he's going to get some air as he's feeling a bit stuffy before leaving. Once outside, he sings Straightjacket Feeling with Nolan whom he acknowledges after the song before they both head back inside. Once they find out that Emma has fled, Dylan and CeCe head to the reception and they enjoy Just Can't Get Enough and Alex and Charlie's duet of Everything before Nolan comes up to him and asks if they want to duet. Dylan agrees and they sing Busy together, pulling CeCe and Eva up to dance with them during the song leading to jealous looks from both Brittany and Marley. Once sat down, Dylan is congratulated by CeCe with a kiss on the cheek. He smiles before Brittany asks if they can talk. Dylan says yes and they head to one side before Brittany asks if he's doing this to make her jealous and Dylan begins to say that he invited CeCe because she likes him and he maybe likes her but Brittany randomly blurts out that if he's trying to make her jealous, it's working. Dylan says that if she's going to try and make things work with Sam then he's going to try and move on. He says that him and CeCe have been on a few dates this week and they click and he likes her. Brittany then says that Sam left early after seeing how she looked at Dylan during his and Nolan's duet. He is about to say something when CeCe comes up from behind them and tells Dylan she's got her flight back because she's practicing for showcase but says she had a wonderful time, kissing Dylan before leaving. Brittany is about to leave when Dylan grabs her arm, pleading with her to stay and asking for her to dance which Brittany accepts and they dance during We've Got Tonite. Brittany asks if they want to go upstairs which Dylan accepts and they go into a hotel room. Dylan is next seen putting on his undershirt before he looks to see Brittany sitting down next to him on the bed and gently kissing him, saying she misses him. Dylan says he misses her too before proceeding to get dressed before Brittany pulls him back down on the bed, saying to stay with her. Dylan asks about Sam but Brittany says that Sam doesn't give her butterflies like he does. Dylan smiles and begins to give in to Brittany's advances but then pulls back, saying that he can't do it to Sam. Brittany mentions that it's happened before so once is just as bad before Dylan gives in. He is then seen opening the door to his apartment during Anything Could Happen and receives two text messages. One from CeCe and one from Brittany, both saying that they enjoyed the wedding. Dylan sighs and and holds his head in his hands.

Dylan is first seen about to leave for Juilliard in Girls (And Boys) On Film when Alex questions about what's happening between him and CeCe. Dylan says that they went on a few dates but they both decided that they're better off as friends. Jenn then asks about an update on his ballroom dance teacher who injured her ankle and Dylan says that she's out for the rest of the semester and there's a new teacher coming in today for a mandatory practice seeing as the Spring Showcase is approaching so he can't miss it. At practice, he is seen talking to CeCe when the new teacher walks in and introduces herself as Christine Santiago (played by Karen Olivo), a former Broadway starlet as a child before leaving at 16 to concentrate on her education. She is instantly recognized by most of the class, including Dylan and is called out by both Austin and Rosie with both of them saying that she's lost her touch ever since she left Broadway which she responds by performing Call Me, gaining the class' approval (minus Rosie and Austin). Dylan is then seen practicing with CeCe when Miss Santiago steps in, saying that CeCe isn't properly holding her body like she should when in hold before demonstrating. This creates a moment between the two, something which Austin notices and decides to proclaim in front of the class. Dylan decides to settle the rivalry with a duet and they both sing Live And Let Die, which Miss Santiago gives feedback on, saying that Austin's vocal was weak and his posture was off during the dancing before saying that Dylan's performance was spectacular. Austin and Rosie say that they'll report to the school board and Dylan asks with what evidence, to which they stand down. Dylan then performs a victory mash-up (as a homage to the New Directions mash-up competition) of Night And Day/A Man For All Seasons. Dylan is then seen grabbing his bags at the end of class but when he goes outside, he sees that the snow has shut off the subway and cabs. Christine sees him and Dylan explains that he lives in Woodside and it would take him an hour and a half to walk home seeing as everything has shut off. Christine offers him a place to stay at her apartment seeing as she only lives just around the corner. Dylan at first declines but realizing his limited offers, he accepts. Once there, Dylan meets Christine's roommate and best friend Tristan Kroemer (played by Kellan Lutz) who is a bouncer, personal trainer and part time stripper. He leaves for his nightclub work shortly after they get back, leaving Dylan and Christine to watch movies including RENT, Forrest Gump and Happy Feet. They then realize their similar taste in music and food whilst eating Chinese food from a store open just across the street from where Christine lives. They are laughing when Dylan's phone rings and sees that it's Alex who asks where he is. Dylan says that he's at his teacher's house, saying that it was a sort of last resort but he likes her already. Alex says that he's by himself seeing as Jenn's in Ithaca with Jack and Dylan says that he'll be fine and he'll be back as soon as the storm is over. When the storm stops, Dylan walks out of Christine's apartment and he says goodbye to Tristan who jogs to the gym. He says goodbye to Christine by shaking her hand and says that he'll see her in class. When he walks away, Dylan can't help but look back to see Christine watching him. Dylan finishes the episode by walking into his apartment and leaning against the door, smiling contently before he realizes he likes his teacher to which he says "Oh f-" just as it ends.

Feud begins with Christine teaching her class when Dylan misses a step. Austin makes fun of this and Christine warns Austin but he keeps going until Dylan lunges at him. When the fight is eventually broken up, they are taken to the Dean's office where they are warned that if one more fight goes on between them, they will both be suspended and both are ordered to shake each other's hands, which leads to a vice grip battle which Austin wins. The Dean then says for them to take the rest of the day off to cool down and while Austin leaves the building, Dylan stays in the building and goes into an empty studio where he lets out his anger in a solo of Mr. Know It All. When he finishes, he hears applause and turns to see Christine who compliments the emotion in his performance before asking why he's so willing to let this go when it's Austin in the wrong. Dylan questions why she's so interested in their feud and Christine simply replies with "curiosity". Dylan then says that he was really aggressive in high school and ever since he moved to New York, he's been trying to change it but with Austin constantly on his back, it's proving to be a lot harder than he first thought. Christine says that in order to win this, he needs to get under Austin's skin and suggests channeling an epic musical feud to try and do that. Dylan agrees and is about to leave when he turns back and asks her why she's on his side and not Austin's. Christine says because she knows Dylan has done nothing wrong and she believes in him. Dylan smiles and nods before leaving the studio. It cuts to Dylan explaining the Prince-Madonna feud and how their feud became epic from the late 1980s to this date and how he and Austin are going to sing the Prince-Madonna duet to end their feud. Austin says he's on board as long as he's Prince seeing as he's the man in this feud to which Dylan says that it's fine seeing as Austin was always a "little troll". Austin tries to fight Dylan but knowing he could be suspended, he does not retaliate and begins Love Song. The song ends with people applauding Dylan and Austin says "this isn't over" and he hits Dylan. They are then called back to the Dean's office where both of them are suspended, which Dylan is shocked by saying he hasn't hit Austin since the warning but the Dean's word is final and they are both suspended for two weeks effective immediately. Dylan is then walking home when he's caught up to by Christine, saying she heard about the suspension and she's going to talk to the Dean but Dylan says that there's no point seeing as his word is final. Christine repeats that she believes in him and Dylan asks why she but she doesn't answer before dragging him into an alley and kissing him. Dylan kisses back before receiving a text from Santana and says that he has to go, running off. When Brody enters the hotel room and sees Santana, it is shown that when she leaves Brody, Jack and Finn alone, Dylan is outside waiting for her. Santana says that she's sorted it but she called him for help because she's been kicked out of Rachel and Kurt's apartment and Dylan immediately offers her a place to stay at his apartment. Dylan then asks if they need any help to which Santana declines and says that they're grown men, they should be able to handle it. At the apartment, Dylan reveals to Santana and Alex about the suspension before receiving a text from Christine saying that she couldn't lift the suspension but they need to talk.

In Guilty Pleasures, Dylan is first seen in am empty studio in Juilliard practising when Jazmyn comes in, asking what he's doing here and Dylan says he's got to get some practice in for the showcase and even though he's been suspended, it's compulsory for him to perform in the showcase so he needs all the practice he can get. Jazmyn says that she thinks he should sing and Dylan says that maybe it's best to showcase what's he's at Juilliard for to show off his strengths. Jazmyn agrees with his points but sticks to her guns and says he should sing before leaving. Dylan then continues practicing when visions of Christine and Brittany enter his mind where he proceeds to sing Call Me When You're Sober in a fantasy sequence with Jenn who seems to be going through the same problem he is. However, Dylan is broken out of his daydream sequence by Christine who manages to get Dylan talking about their kiss and while they both admit they're attracted to each other, Dylan says they can't be together because he's her student before leaving. He is then seen talking about musical guilty pleasures with Jenn, Alex and Jack where Dylan says that he doesn't really have one but smiles at his companion's confessions. He is then seen practicing in the main studio when the Dean walks in, telling Dylan to leave the premises when Christine walks in, demanding they look at the camera footage from the studio and repeating that Dylan never should have been suspended in the first place. After much forced persuaion from Christine, the Dean decides to check the footage. He then apologizes to Dylan after seeing the footage and revokes his suspension. On his triumphant return to class, he is welcomed back with open arms and is shown to be working harder than ever, being praised by Christine. Afterwards, Christine commends him and he thanks her before saying he's planning to go back to Lima soon to visit his family and the New Directions. Christine asks about them and they talk before Dylan reveals that the theme they're doing this week is 'Guilty Pleasures' and Christine asks what it is to which Dylan repeats that he doesn't have one but after much coaxing from Christine, he reveals it to be DCOM musical soundtracks before singing You Belong To Me after Christine teases him and Dylan sings it to show that they do actually have good songs. At the end of the song, the two share a moment before Dylan leaves before anything else happens. Dylan is then seen in class the next day and Christine asks everyone to reveal their musical guilty pleasures and Christine reveals hers to be American Idol before she sings Steal Away to let out her guilty pleasure, cutting in between a sequence of Dylan and Christine dancing and Dylan watching Christine sing in class. At the end of the song, it shows Dylan and Christine crashing through her apartment door in a heated make out session which ends with Dylan closing the bedroom door behind the both of them. It is then shown that when Kurt, Santana and Rachel are talking about the latter's break-up with Brody, Kurt invited Dylan, Jenn and Alex over seeing as he knew Rachel would pick the movie and thought they could have a little marathon. Dylan kneels beside Rachel, comforting her before she picks the movie and he joins in with Mamma Mia!.

Dylan and Alex are seen in their apartment talking about Dylan's upcoming Juilliard Spring Showcase in Shooting Star. Dylan says that he has to do a solo performance and a performance with a talent outside of school. Alex asks who he's got and Dylan says that Jenn knows a guy who is perfect for a showcase. Dylan says he was going to use either Alex or Jenn but Jenn insisted on using the guy she knows. Just then, Jenn walks in with Santana and an unknown male whom Jenn quickly introduces as Nathan Lynn but on stage he uses the name "Apollo" (played by Collins Pennie) and Jenn says that he will be the outside of Juilliard talent that will be showcased in the showcase. Dylan asks what he's good at and Nathan says that he raps and sings a little bit but prefers rapping. Dylan says that he would love to have him as his outside talent before getting down to practising. A couple of days later and it is 20 minutes before the showcase and while the New Yorkers: Jenn, Alex, Jack, Ethan, Rachel, Kurt and Santana are in the audience when his phone rings and it's Marley who lets him know there's been a shooting at the school. Dylan begins to panic until Christine shows up, asking what's the matter and Dylan explains what's happened and Christine says she'll let the others know but he has to focus and she believes in him before sneakily kissing him. This seems to calm Dylan down but only slightly. Then the New Yorkers make their way backstage after Christine tells them what happened, showing fear and anxiety for the safety of the others but Jack takes charge, vowing Dylan to win the showcase while he contacts the New Directions in Lima and making sure they're okay, which Dylan accepts. He first performs Magic with Apollo and that goes smoothly with him getting a rapturous applause from the audience before heading backstage where Jack says that everyone's in the choir room except for Tina who's outside, Eva and Trevor who are in the auditorium and Brittany who's location is unknown. This visibly frightens Dylan but he decides to call her. She doesn't pick up the first time so he rings her again and she picks up where he asks if she's okay. She says she's scared and Dylan tries to comfort her when he's called onstage. He is about to hang up when Brittany pleads for him not to, which Dylan listens to. He puts his phone in his pocket and goes onstage where he sings an emotional To Make You Feel My Love where he gains a standing ovation. He bows before turning and walking offstage. As soon as he is out of sight, he puts the phone to his ear and asks if Brittany is still there and she says she is before saying she loves him. Dylan says he loves her too and they talk about random happy memories to calm both of them down when Dylan says he's going to text Mr. Schuester and tell him where she is so he can get her. Brittany accepts before they say goodbye and he hangs up before sitting on the floor, emotionally drained. He is then seen being comforted by the others when he's called out onstage for the result. Dylan is then announced as the winner and he is asked to perform an encore. He is given his guitar and dedicates this song to the McKinley students and to the New Yorkers before he sings Black Horse And The Cherry Tree. After talking to a few agencies and exchanging phone numbers, he is about to head home when Christine hugs him, saying that she's proud of him. Dylan thanks her before saying he's going to head home after the events. Christine nods and smiles, kissing him on the cheek as he heads home.

Dylan begins Sweet Dreams receiving congratulations on his success upon winning the showcase at Juilliard, when waking up to breakfast in bed made by Jenn and Alex which he happily accepts. When Jack shows up and previews his NYADA audition to the Musketeers and Santana who said she's crashing with them while Rachel prepares for her Funny Girl audition. When he sings Go The Distance, they all agree that it doesn't showcase Jack's strengths enough and they vow for him to pick another song. Dylan is then seen walking into an apartment building after class the next day where he spots a candlelit dinner and Christine in the apartment kitchen. Dylan asks what this is about and Christine says that they finally have the night to themselves seeing as the showcase wasn't a good night with the shooting going on and Dylan agrees before saying that she didn't have to put this much effort into it and they could have just got their usual Chinese order but Christine says that tonight is a very important night as she finally realizes how overwhelming her feelings are for Dylan even with the age difference and the fact that he is her student. Dylan says that he hasn't felt this way about anyone except for his high school girlfriend and while Christine questions about this girl, Dylan avoids the question and say that tonight is about them and not about anyone else. He then says he's just going to change out of his dance class clothes. While he changes, Christine begins More Than Words/Heaven which Dylan joins in with and it ends with a mouse kiss before they sit down and eat with Dylan asking "So, what do you say to being my very secret girlfriend?" and Christine just smiles in reply. The next day, Dylan is seen stood at the sides with Alex and Ethan who are about to watch Jack's NYADA audition and Dylan's eyes light up at the introduction of the song: I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That). He manages to stifle his applause when the performance ends and congratulates him when they leave the building, he congratulates him and all of the vocalists involved. He is then seen inside the hangar where Jack and Rachel are waiting for their phone call responses to their respective auditions. When Rachel reveals she got hers, everyone celebrates before waiting with baited breath regarding Jack's audition. At the end of Outcast, it is revealed he got in and Dylan celebrates, congratulating him.

Lights Out shows Dylan, Jenn and Alex hanging out in their apartment when suddenly the power goes out, although they panic at first, Dylan takes initiative, smirks and says "The power blows!" before the three of them sing Rent with Nolan, Eva and JJ back in Lima. It is then revealed that the owner of their building has been skipping out on paying the power bills because he's overdrawn in all of his accounts due to his gambling addiction. He does have a backup generator, however it is an illegal generator imported from China. He has been arrested, however until he (or his associates) pay the bills, they are stuck without power until further notice. While Jenn and Alex are angry, Dylan uses this as an excuse to go out and see Christine. When he tells her about the power outage, Christine says he can stay there until the power comes back on and Dylan thanks her, saying he wasn't fond on eating defrosted food until further notice. They are then seen eating a home cooked meal with Tristan as they bonded over the NBA and the playoffs with Dylan mentioning that he's a San Antonio Spurs follower and Tristan said he's Brooklyn born so he's a Brooklyn Nets follower through and through although he has the New York Knicks as a close second. He then promptly leaves for work while the lovebirds bask in each other's company. Christine then says she's managed to get another teaching job outside of Juilliard and asks Dylan to wish her luck as she starts in a couple of days and Dylan says that she won't need it and that she'll be amazing. They smile before watching The Longest Yard together with Dylan teaching Christine about football with the NFL fast approaching. The next day, Dylan is invited to watch the New York Ballet Gala by the Dean of Juilliard with a few other Juilliard students and he sees Kurt, Rachel, Santana, Jack and Isabelle. Dylan says that he started ballet when he was 7 years old after he signed up for any and every dance form he could after watching many 70s movies with his family. He then watches At The Ballet and the Gala before promptly heading back to Christine's apartment. When the next day is said to be very stormy with thunder and lightning all day, Dylan stays in at Christine’s apartment while Alex is at Ethan’s and Jenn is in their apartment for the entire day. The next day, Dylan walks into the studio where Christine started her new job and sees Santana there as a student. Dylan and Santana ask each other what they’re doing here and while Santana explains she was starting her first dance class here, Dylan can’t think of a valid reason until Christine walks over and asks Dylan if he’s ready to go. Santana says that he has until the end of next week to explain what she just saw but she’s got something to take care of. The next day, Jenn informs them that the power has been restored, they make their way back and when Dylan sees Santana inside the apartment, he takes her to one side and says that he’s dating Christine but nobody knows except her flatmate and now her and she can’t tell anyone and Santana promises not to under one condition: he helps her with her dancing. Dylan looks surprised at the condition but accepts nonetheless.

Dylan is first seen in Rachel, Kurt and Santana’s apartment, helping Santana with her ballet poise in Wonder-ful. He praises her for her quick improvement and Santana thanks him for the help. Dylan then suggests an extra rehearsal a couple of hours before her next class which Santana agrees to. Dylan then heads home and seconds after he walks through the door, there is a knock. He opens the door to see a smiling Brittany and though Dylan is shocked to see her, he tightly hugs her and asks what she’s doing here. Brittany says she has a few days break from her MIT tour and interviews so she thought she’d come and see him and the others. Dylan then asks Brittany how she got here and said she had some help. Dylan then says he’s glad she’s here because she has the chance to see what New York is really like. He goes to his hip hop class at Juilliard with Brittany and introduces her before asking Mr. Hutton if she could watch the class, which he agrees to before he asks if she can dance to which Dylan says yes to and Mr. Hutton asks her if she wants to join in, which Brittany agrees to. After the class, Mr. Hutton take Dylan and Brittany to one side, saying that she definitely has talent and potential to be a full-time dancer and asks her if she applied to Juilliard. Brittany says she hasn't because of the early acceptance into MIT. Mr. Hutton nods and wishes her luck for the future. They are about to leave when Christine walks in but Dylan keeps a cool head, introducing Christine to Brittany and vice versa although Dylan can feel a slight animosity from Brittany. They then leave and head back to the apartment where Jenn and Alex greet Brittany. Jenn and Alex say they’re going to an Italian restaurant downtown and ask if they want to go but they both decline, saying they’re worked out from the classes. When they leave, they watch a movie before Dylan brings up Brittany’s stand-offish nature towards Christine. Brittany tries to deny it but Dylan says he knows her and knows when she’s angry at something or someone. Brittany then reveals she knows about their relationship and how she feels like she means nothing to him anymore. Dylan argues that she has always been a big part of his heart but Brittany doesn't leave him and is about to leave the apartment but Dylan stops her. Brittany struggles but Dylan says that he lost her once, and he wasn't going to lose her again, which Brittany stops struggling at and cries into his shoulder. It then shows Dylan carrying a sleeping Brittany into the bedroom where he tucks her into bed before sighing and singing All In Love Is Fair, fighting his feelings between Christine and Brittany. And the song ends with Dylan getting a text from Christine saying We need to talk to which Dylan replies I can't. Not right now. The next day, Brittany apologises for what she said and admitted it was Santana who told her when she helped her with the whole journey from Boston to New York. Dylan said she would be mad at Santana if it wasn't for something he was planning and if someone needed to know, it would be Brittany so Dylan says he’s glad it’s out in the open and they share a hug. Brittany then asks what he’s planning and Dylan just smiles. It then shows Santana and Dylan walking into an empty NYADA auditorium where an empty stool is on a stage and Brittany is in the front row of seats. Dylan takes Santana to the front row before going behind a piano and saying “I’m ready”. He then plays a song opening before Jenn walks onstage and sits on the stool, where she sings Too Shy To Say, asking Santana to get back together with her which she accept and they share a hug and kiss while Dylan and Brittany watch on, proud. During For Once In My Life, Dylan and Brittany are seen at the train station where they say “see you soon” and Brittany gently kisses him. Dylan smiles before waving her off when the train drives away.

All Or Nothing begins with Dylan sat on the edge of his bed, rubbing sweat from his brow before he goes into Best Of You which shows him watching Christine teaching her class at NYADA while receiving texts from Brittany before it shows him performing the song onstage. It ends with Dylan waking up in a cold sweat before sighing. He Skypes with Kurt in Central Park about how a personal situation is really tearing him apart. Kurt asks if it's Piergraw 2.0 and Dylan can only laugh before nodding. Kurt then gives him the simple advice of following his heart and not his head. Dylan nods before Kurt asks if he's going to Regionals, with him replying with that he doesn't know because he's not sure if it'll make the situation worse. Kurt understands and leaves him to his thoughts before he gets a call from Sam, saying that Brittany broke up with him and she's been acting incredibly weird ever since she got back from MIT, asking for his help. Although Dylan is skeptical, he joins Jenn and Alex in going to Lima for Regionals. However, Dylan is seen going to Brittany's house where he is on an episode on Fondue For Two. Brittany asks if it was true that Jenn's hair is actually constantly on fire and she's just a magical being which is why she isn't dead yet. Dylan quickly extinguishes the rumour before turning off the camera, saying that the Brittany he sees in front of him isn't the Brittany he loved and still loves with all of his heart. Brittany then says she's going to tell him something that changes everything. It then shows Dylan knelt down beside Brittany, asking if she's serious and Brittany nods before Dylan looks down in shock. Brittany then says that he has a choice to make too and he doesn't have very long to make it before there is a furious knocking at the front door. Dylan opens it to see a furious Christine stood there. Dylan sighs before Christine demands to know what has been going on between him and the "blond slut". Dylan's eyes furiously light up before he launches an emotional verbal tirade on Christine, saying that Brittany was his first love, his true love, his only love and tells Christine to go back to New York and don't expect a call from him anytime soon. She leaves and Dylan turns to Brittany before they share a hug. At the show circle in the choir room, Brittany announces she's leaving immediately after gaining early acceptance into MIT before giving a speech about how everyone in the room are like her family. She goes to describe Dylan before hugging him. Dylan says she doesn't have to say anything but Brittany says she wants to because it's the least he deserved after what he has done for her. She then describes Dylan as "the best friend who turns into your boyfriend and is always there for you and sticks up for you, cares for you and they will be together forever no matter how far apart they are". She then kisses Dylan who kisses back before he joins in with the show circle. He watches Regionals and watches Hall Of Fame and I Love It with a proud look on his face and tears up at All Or Nothing before he is mentioned in a special announcement with his showcase win at Juilliard as well as Rachel winning hers at NYADA and Jack winning his at Cornell. Dylan is then called up to the stage as he volunteered to perform earlier in the day and he performs an emotional The First Time (Ever I Saw Your Face) dedicated to Brittany. He then smiles at the New Directions taking home the trophy before staying behind as he sees Brittany sitting on the stage steps. He offers her his hand which she takes and they head to the choir room together. He is there for Will and Emma's impromptu wedding and celebrates before Brittany asks him if he's thought about what she said. Dylan says he has but he just can't go through with it. But seeing as she'll be in Massachusetts, it will be a lot easier for them both to visit each other. Brittany nods before hugging Dylan tightly. Dylan is then seen on the train to New York while he sings Will You Be There, intertwining scenes with Dylan and Brittany together when they were at McKinley and when Dylan left for Juilliard before when Dylan gets off the train, he gets a text so he looks to his phone and his jaw drops before he runs across the station until he comes to a stop and looks ahead, putting a hand over his mouth and saying "Oh my god" as it fades to black.

Season Five
When Love, Love, Love starts, it shows a repeat of Dylan at the train station before it flashes forward to him sitting in the apartment when a redhead girl walks out. Via voiceover, Dylan introduces her as Skylar Roosevelt (played by Anneliese van der Pol) who was a childhood friend of Dylan's before she moved to Texas with her family before freshman year of high school but she then just moved to New York to try and become a star and she was the one at the train station. Dylan asks Skylar if she wants to see the sights which she accepts and they both walk around New York while singing With A Little Help From My Friends. At the end of the call, Skylar's phone rings and she sighs before answering it. Dylan then says via voiceover that there was one problem when Skylar moved in to her apartment before it flashes back to Dylan helping Skylar with her suitcases and she opens one where a younger girl pops out: Skylar's little sister Ellie (played by Laura Marano) and seeing as she refuses to go home, Skylar decides to look after her much to Dylan's annoyance as Ellie has stopped at nothing to mess around with Dylan the last time he saw her: playing practical jokes and annoying him to no end, which seems to resume when she moves in to Skylar's apartment.

Dylan, Skylar and Ellie are then seen at the Spotlight Diner where Santana and Rachel work on the latter's first day and he introduces them to both Santana and Rachel and he says hello to Gunther with him being a regular there. Santana asks Dylan how Brittany is and he says that he's been Skyping her almost everyday and has gone to see her twice although he can't right now seeing as she's really busy with MIT. As Santana and Rachel get back to work, Dylan mentions that just before Skylar left for Texas, she was the one who wanted to go to dance school and now it's a role reversal and they begin to converse before Ellie rolls her eyes and kicks Dylan from under the table, much to Santana's amusement. He is also there (just with Skylar) for Hard Day's Night where he applauds and follows Santana, Rachel and Jack out of the diner.

He is then seen at Dalton for Blaine's proposal to Kurt and he watches with tears in his eyes and a big smile and while he's wary, given the Finn and Rachel debacle, he is seen waiting at the bottom of the stairs during All You Need Is Love and listening to Blaine's proposal makes him miss Brittany so afterwards, he calls her and leaves a voicemail to tell her the news and that he loves her before hanging up.

Tina In The Sky With Diamonds begins with Dylan practising his dancing with Skylar when he receives a phone call from Kurt about Jenn and Santana fighting in the Diner. Both Dylan and Skylar manage to get down there to break it up before Santana very publicly breaks up with Jenn in front of the customers. Dylan and Skylar then take a shocked Jenn home before they join in a woeful If I Fell about their relationships with Jenn just recently breaking up with Santana, Dylan not being able to contact Brittany due to being busy at MIT and Skylar just being unlucky in love. It ends with the 3 sharing a group hug.

The next day, Dylan asks Jenn if she's okay and when Jenn says she's going to talk to Santana, he agrees but says that he'll take her down there just in case. They walk down to the Diner to see Santana talking to Dani and Jenn notices that Santana is nervous around her as she knows her nervous twitches. While Jenn goes to talk to Santana, Dylan talks to Dani and they surprisingly hit it off as they like the same kind of music and sports teams and when he sees Jenn and Santana hug out of the corner of his eye, he leaves.

He is seen babysitting Ellie because Skylar was going to pick up her brother Dallas (played by Steve Grand) who was staying with friends in Baltimore and at 6:30am, he wakes up from a picture message from Skylar and it's of Dani and Santana kissing which Dylan looks worried about. However, before he goes to tell Jenn, when he rings her it is revealed she already knows as Skylar sent her the picture too. But Jenn is going to let her stew for a while and see where it goes. He is seen in the Diner when Rachel is revealed to get the role of Fanny Brice and he gives her a congratulatory hug and he is seen in Let It Be texting Brittany saying 'I love you' and he waits for a reply until the end of the song, he gets a reply saying 'Love you too' which he smiles at.

Dylan is first seen in The Quarterback joining in with Seasons Of Love, before it goes to him packing a small suitcase in his room explaining via voiceover that ever since he found out about Finn's death he has been to see both Brittany and Quinn many times and that out of himself, Jenn and Alex, Alex has taken the news of his death the hardest as they seemed to bond quickly when Alex joined the New Directions during their senior year. And that although he didn't get on with Finn most of the time, he saw him as a friend and he never knew how much he missed him until being at his funeral.

He is seen in the choir room sat next to Nolan and Marley where Mr. Schuester announces the assignment of songs to dedicate to Finn. He watches Mercedes perform I'll Stand By You and he leaves before he spots Nolan in the empty mens' locker room, crying in the corner. Dylan hugs him where he listens to him vent about how he's almost angry about Finn not being around anymore because Finn was one of few people who believed in Nolan. Dylan then leads him to the auditorium where they let out their emotions through singing and playing Paint Your Target (Acoustic). When Marley takes Nolan away, Kurt asks if that was for Finn and Dylan shook his head, saying it was for Nolan's grieving and that he has a different song for Finn.

He is seen listening to Fire And Rain before he follows Santana out of the auditorium, his emotions becoming too much. He then gets a text and goes outside, seeing a broken Quinn whom he tightly hugs. She says she's not staying long and she's here to see how everyone else is. They go inside where they hear Santana's emotional tirade on Sue Sylvester and just as Santana pushes her, Dylan breaks it up and she storms off. They both watch Santana perform If I Die Young and goes to hug her when she starts crying but lets her run off. After hearing Puck sing No Surrender, he is by his side and pats him gently on the shoulder before he listens to Santana accuse Puck fo stealing Finn's jacket. When Mr. Schuester stops the fighting, Mr. Schuester lets Dylan sing his song for Finn and Dylan explains how he heard Finn sing this song on the last day of senior year when he was reminscing on past times with the club and on how he said it was the best 3 years of his life before he sings Not The End, ending it in tears and hugs from the club members. He is seen putting notes on the memorial with Jenn and Alex before the current New Directions each rest a set of drumsticks in front of it. He sees Rachel and watches as her and Quinn share a massive hug.

He watches To Make You Feel My Love with tears running down his face and is seen walking out when he spots the jacket sleeve hanging out of Mr. Schuester's satchel and he goes after him where they fight as Dylan explains that the jacket belongs to Santana and he needs to give it back. Will explodes about how he needs something to remind of Finn after what they've been through as he was his brother but Dylan reminds him that Kurt is Finn's real brother and he gave the jacket to Santana because she's one of the people that have been hit the hardest by Finn's death. After a heartfelt conversation about Finn, Mr. Schuester promises to send the jacket back by the end of the week and they apologise and hug each other, saying it's not what Finn would have wanted.

A Katy Or A Gaga begins with Dylan looking out of his apartment window, saying through voiceover that he is still shaken by Finn's death after the animosity they had in high school and after. And that he wishes he was still around so Dylan could say how much Finn inspired him to be a leader. He then goes into an emotional solo of Speechless before ending it while looking at a picture of them both at graduation. He is then seen at the diner where Kurt asks if he wants to be in his band but Dylan declines, saying that he's too busy focusing on his schoolwork, helping Skylar trying to get her big break and also looking after Ellie which Kurt understands.

He is then seen outside Skylar's apartment where she lets him in and says that she has a guest where a blonde boy (played by Ross Lynch) is seen to be sat on the sofa with Ellie as they laugh at a movie. Dylan asks who it is before Skylar says it is a boy from Ellie's class called Benjamin "Benji" McConnell and Skylar reveals that they have obvious crushes on each other but don't want to say and Dylan suggests playing matchmaker. Skylar says later because she needs to practise her audition for a dancing job. Dylan says he'll help and asks where it's for but Skylar sheepishly reveals it's for a cage dancer job in a cabaret bar. Dylan declines helping but Skylar begs for the help, saying she needs the money to keep her head above the water while she looks for better jobs. Dylan is obviously torn but decides to help out anyway on one condition: the job description stays between the two of them.

He is then seen at the audition with Skylar and they perform a duet and sexy dance routine to Teeth where the manager says that Skylar has a job there and they want to offer Dylan a job there too seeing as they have both male and female dancers there. Dylan originally says no but then agrees to it, saying he needs money as well. He is seen during Roar to be getting ready for his first shift when Skylar nods to him and Dylan gives a small smile before they both head out.

Dylan is first seen in The End Of Twerk walking back into the "dressing room" at the club where the manager comes in and congratulates him for a good shift and that he's drawing in more female members to the club before paying him cash in hand. Dylan thanks him and he leaves as Skylar comes back in. Dylan asks if she's ready and she says yes before they leave and meet Dallas. The two boys hug after seeing each other for the first time in years and they take a walk where they chat about what's been going on before they go to the diner and Dylan introduces Dallas to Rachel, Kurt, Santana and Dani.

They are then seen discussing on how to get Benji and Ellie together when it's obvious they like each other and going back over moments that showed it: Ellie comparing Benji's singing skills to a smoother Liam Payne (which is incredibly high standard for Ellie) and Benji doing everything for Ellie (opening doors, fetching food and drink) before Dylan comments that it could just be Ellie's usual laziness which gains a laugh out of Skylar and Dallas before deciding to try and set them up on a blind date with a "secret admirer" trick. Although Skylar seems nervous to play with her little sister's feelings, it's clear to her that Ellie really likes Benji and vice versa so she agrees to do it.

During On Our Way, Dylan says goodbye to Dallas and asks Skylar to join him and she says she'll be there in a minute before watching as Dylan turns his back and Dallas hands a package to Skylar who nods before hugging her brother.

Movin' Out begins with Dylan getting changed after his shift as Skylar fires ideas at him on how to set up Benji and Ellie's blind date but Dylan is seen to be in a daze as he goes into a voiceover about how he feels like he doesn't belong here and he feels like he's hit rock bottom with getting a job as a cage dancer. Skylar then asks if he's joining her for drinks but Dylan passes, saying he'll see her back here for their next shift. When Skylar leaves, Dylan goes into The River Of Dreams as he leaves the bar and heads home. The next day he reveals to Jenn and Alex that he got a job at the bar but when they express amusement, Dylan says it's as a barman where they seem more accepting as they both say "at least you're not dancing in a cage there", making Dylan feel embarrassed with himself. He then expresses his worry to Skylar where she asks if he wants to move in with her and Ellie and he decides to take her up on it, saying that at least he'll be living with someone who knows what he's going through.

He is then seen discussing with Skylar on how to set Ellie and Benji up when Dylan suggests that he talks to Benji and tells him the situation and Skylar agrees. Dylan invites Benji downtown where Dylan explains that Ellie actually likes him. Benji is surprised but when Dylan says they're going to try and set up a date for them tonight, Benji accepts but says that he's nervous about expressing his feelings. Dylan says nto to worry before they sing a duet of All About Soul which ends with Benji saying he'll help with the set-up.

Ellie comes back from soccer practise to see Benji in a tuxedo print t-shirt, loose black jeans and black shiny hi-tops and while shocked, she sits down with Benji and eats the food that Dylan prepared. Benji then sits by a set up piano and sings She's Got A Way where they kiss and become official. Dylan and Skylar are seen watching through a little gap in Skylar's bedroom and they high five. They are then seen at Callbacks where they sing a duet of Scenes From An Italian Restaurant which receives a standing ovation.

Dylan is first seen with Puck in Puppet Master when they go back to McKinley after Puck gets a call from his brother regarding a personal topic. When they get there, Jake reveals that a girl he slept with is pregnant and while this worries Puck, Dylan runs to find Bree after Jake tells them who the girl is. While Bree is livid that Jake told two people she doesn't know, Dylan reassures her that a very close friend went through the same thing she did (even with someone of the same DNA as Jake) and while he wasn't able to be there for her then, he wants to make it up to her by helping someone in her exact position. Bree rejects his help and she runs into the choir room with Dylan on her heels. Dylan tries to reason with her but Bree won't listen with the gas leak causing a fantasy duet of My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light 'Em Up) where they both wake up and Bree leaves.

Dylan tries again with Bree where she says that she was just late on her period but (in her own way) thanks Dylan, saying that it means something when someone is there for her. Dylan smiles before asking for Bree's phone. When she asks why, Dylan says so that she can have someone who's there for her. And talking to her kind of made him forget the crazy things going on in his own life. But he advises for her to talk to Jake which she says she will do.

Back in New York, he gets a phone call from Rachel about Pamela Lansbury's second gig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg where he vows to be there, congratulating the band. He then hangs up before reading a thank you text from Bree which he smiles at before calling a number and putting it to his ear, smiling as he says "Hey, I miss you."

Previously Unaired Christmas shows Dylan in the bedroom of his apartment he shared with Jenn and Alex as he thinks over his kiss with Rachel. He is obviously shaken up about it but keeps it a secret when both Jenn and Alex ask him what's wrong. He is then seen packing a bag to go and see his uncle Pete and aunt Gina in Minnesota when just as he leaves, he gets a phone call and Harry reveals they're in New York to see him. He meets Pete (played by Charles Esten) and Gina (played by Connie Britton) at Time Square where the three of them spontaneously sing This Christmas to applause. They walk along when a woman approaches Dylan and asks to help her as she's the manager of Midtown Mall Macy's where Santaland is and she's looking for the fifth member of what she calls "a Santa Backstreet Boys". While Dylan is apprehensive, Pete and Gina persuade him to go for it.

The next day, he meets the band members and seemingly gets on the most with Colton Redwood (played by Etai BenShlomo) and Paul Fairbanks (played by Matthew James Thomas) while also getting on well with the other two members: Tom Crennell (played by Michael Weisman) and Mitch Clarkson (played by Reeve Carney). And after a day's rehearsal, they are ready for their first day when they see Rachel, Kurt and Santana perform Here Comes Santa Claus and afer they start throwing food, the boys step in and perform Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday which takes the heat off of the previous performers while they clean up. When Santa appears and the kids are happy, the boys go backstage to rave reviews from shoppers and staff. At the next showing 3 hours later, the manager asks for them to do a 3 song setlist but with a change: they don't wear shirts. While the boys are fine with it, Dylan sees that he's nervous about showing his body in front of Rachel as he feels something for her but they haven't spoke since he ran out after the kiss. Nevertheless, it shows them coming off the stage smiling at a job well done when Dylan catches Rachel's eye. He then heads out for dinner with Pete and Gina where he confides in them about what happened with Rachel and Pete says that if she is the one or not, then go for it because both he and Dylan know all too well about losing someone they love and Gina says that if they find someone, they need to hold on tight to them.

The next day, Dylan is walking with the boys and discussing a plan he has when he gets a call from Kurt saying that Cody had robbed their apartment. Dylan is shocked and upset but when Kurt tells him of their new job, Dylan says that since the mall was robbed as well, the Santas In Sync aren't needed either but they got a new job and asks Kurt and the others to come down before they start their new job which they agree to. They boys are then seen busking outside a music store, performing Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas Day where Dylan locks eyes with Rachel throughout the song. Afterwards, they gain applause and people crowd round to put money in their bucket where Dylan says to Rachel that the job originally wasn't for money but ever since he found out their apartment was robbed, he wants to help. Rachel protests but Dylan says he wants to because he cares for Rachel and would do anything for her. Rachel smiles at this when Tom goes over to the couple with a mistletoe hat and makes sure it's between Dylan and Rachel, leading them to giggle and kiss before hugging.

Dylan is last shown with the boys, Pete and Gina singing backup for Away In A Manger as they watch Rachel, Kurt and Santana perform at their window while Dylan and Rachel share a look and a smile.

Dylan is first seen at an empty Juilliard studio in Frenemies where he is practising for his final exams coming up for a few weeks before there is a knock at the door and he turns to see Skylar stood at the door with a bottle in her hand. Dylan questions how she got into the school when Skylar ignores him and asks if he wants to go downtown for a "stress reliever". Dylan declines, knowing Skylar means alcohol before saying that ever since she joined the club, she's becoming more and more into drinking. He then decides to stop rehearsing and try and control Skylar's drinking. When they go into a piano bar in downtown called New York called Arpeggios, Dylan looks up and his face sinks at the sight of one of the barmen (played by Charlie Lubeck). Skylar asks who it is and Dylan says that it's Luke Moss, someone who made fun of him in elementary school and they were rivals when they both attended Dalton Academy and he always bragged about how he was going to live in New York and take over his uncle's piano bar. He's about to leave when Skylar drunkenly challenges Luke, who looks up and smirks at the sight of Dylan. They share insults and Luke challenges Dylan to a piano duel where Dylan is about to accept when he turns around and sees Skylar on her hands and knees vomiting on Luke's shoes. An amused yet worried Dylan escorts Skylar from the bar but not before accepting the duel, saying he'll be back tomorrow.

The next day, Dylan is sat on the sofa again showing signs of doubt about his battle against Luke when Skylar offers him a drink to calm his nerves which Dylan takes without questioning, realising that it was vodka and lemonade. He still drinks it and heads down to the front of the guitar store where Kurt and Elliot just had their duet of I Believe In A Thing Called Love. The accompanying band head outside where Luke said "I think you can fit in one more song can't you?" before the two rivals duet to Styx's Renegade. While Luke proclaims he won, Dylan gives his opinion that he was better before the two begin to fight before Dylan is pulled away by Elliot and escorted back to Kurt, Rachel and Santana's apartment where Dylan sees Rachel and Santana fighting about Santana getting Rachel's understudy part while Kurt, Elliott, Dani and Jenn watch helplessly. Dylan sighs at the two girls fighting before storming out after Rachel slaps Santana with Jenn right behind. She asks what's going on with him before Dylan angrily vents at her about everything going on. Jenn just comforts him before saying she has an idea.

It then shows Luke behind a curtain leading towards a grand piano on a platform in front of him and he straightens his tie before going to sit down on the stool when a number of things go wrong for him: the piano stool breaks, the piano has been tampered with so the notes don't hold and sound really quiet and he gets covered in tar and feathers. As Luke is escorted offstage, Jenn and Dylan give a sly wave before they go on as "replacements" and Jenn "fixes" the piano after removing a pillow from under it. They both then go into a duet of This Love with Dylan on piano and receive massive applause.

He returns home during Breakaway and finds a passed out Skylar on the couch with empty wine bottles next to her and a note on the dining room table. Dylan reads it before putting a hand to his forehead and sighing.

Trio begins with Dylan sat on a chair as he goes through the TV channels before seeing Skylar stir, who is still passed out on the couch from the night before. Skylar wakes up and sees Dylan sat on the couch with a can of beer in one hand and the TV remote in the other. Skylar asks Dylan to make her a cup of coffee but Dylan questions Skylar if she's noticing something different about the apartment. When Skylar says she doesn't see anything different, Dylan hands her the note from the table and reveals that Ellie left to stay at Benji's while she sorts herself out but Skylar brushes it off and goes for another drink when questioning why Dylan has beer, to which he replies saying "It's the only thing that keeps me sane around you and your drunk ass".

He goes back to his old apartment to take a breather from Skylar and visits Alex and Jenn. While Dylan's former housemates notice that he smells strongly of alcohol, Dylan convinces them it's from Skylar who's been throwing up everywhere when the truth is, is that some of the smell is actually from him. They then go into a trio number of Waterfalls before smiling. The three then watch Gloria and applaud before Dylan spots Ellie and Benji, making his way over. They talk before Ellie expresses her worry over Skylar. Dylan says he's doing the best he can which seems to put Ellie at ease before Dylan leaves.

He is then seen for One Three Hill's performance of The Happening and applauds before seeing Skylar talking to a random guy who is obviously interested in sleeping with her when Dylan steps in and sends the guy away. Skylar and Dylan talk where they both agree that their drinking may be beginning to spiral out of control and they agree to try and slow down.

During Hold On, Dylan is seen tucking Skylar in bed before he goes to sleep on the sofa when he spots a tub of sleeping pills on the coffee table where he takes two of them and nods off.

Dylan is first seen sleeping in City Of Angels when he is woken up by Skylar at 2am. When Dylan asks why she's waking him up this early, Skylar says they're going on a road trip to Los Angeles. Dylan asks why so sudden and Skylar shrugs and says "I feel spontaneous."

It shows them in a montage of driving down through different states to a duet of them singing Life Is A Highway. It ends with them driving up to the hotel where the New Directions are staying. When they see Dylan they are happy and all greet them, including Mercedes who arrived moments before. After he introduces Skylar to everyone, he sees Jean-Baptiste and Throat Explosion enter the hotel. Jean-Baptiste recognises Dylan as a back-to-back National winning champion but says that he won't be dazzled by his "bloodshot eyes and baggy clothing". Dylan is about to lash out when Skylar and Mercedes stop him. He also catches the eye of one of the Throat Explosion members: Dolph.

Dylan is then seen talking with Nolan as they haven't talked since Dylan came back to Lima to pay tribute to Finn. Nolan explains that it's been really turbulent but he wants to end the year on a high and beat Throat Explosion. Dylan agrees and says for them to do their best. Nolan then says that he's worried about Marley after she entered her songs in many competitions and she never heard back from any of them so she's losing faith in her songwriting ability, Dylan says that he'll talk to her before Nolan asks to check out a song he wrote after coming back to Lima. Dylan agrees and he goes over it before saying that it's beautiful and asks if he's singing it for Nationals. Nolan declines, saying they've planed a special setlist for it and he'll save it for next year. Dylan agrees and gives Nolan a pat on the shoulder before leaving.

He bumps into Dolph in the hotel corridor and they exchange nasty insults before Dylan storms off, telling Sam that he hates the guy. Sam invites him to their tradition of seeing the stage beforehand and he agrees.

Dylan joins the New Directions in seeing the stage and wishes them luck in their performance when Throat Explosion enter. While Dylan and Dolph exchange narrowed glances, Sam, Blaine and Jean-Baptiste exchange words before Dolph sees Finn's plaque and makes a horrible joke. Dylan, again, goes to attack Dolph when this time it's Jean-Baptiste who stops him and says that he offers condolences tonight but at the competition, they won't have anything from them.

Dylan is then seen on the bus when Sam realises Finn's plaque is missing. Both go off the bus once they see Throat Explosion and confront them when Sam pushes Jean-Baptiste. But before an all-out brawl starts, Blaine and Mercedes pull the boys back before Sam gives the team a pep talk and they all applaud him.

After watching Throat Explosion's Mr Roboto/Counting Stars, he is then seen watching the New Directions at the sidelines with Mr. Schuester and is seen to be tearful through More Than A Feeling and America before videoing I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For for the New York graduates.

Dylan and Mercedes then go outside and give Marley a pep talk on her songs and she smiles before hugging both of them. Back inside, Dylan is stood with the club next to Marley and Nolan while Skylar is in the audience with Burt and Carole before he is shown to be devastated at the announcement they came in second place.

He is then seen walking into the classroom and greeting them and explains that Ohio is a stop on the way back to New York so he wanted to see everyone. He stays with the New Directions while Will is called into the office before he announces that Glee club will not continue next year as they came in second at Nationals, which leads Dylan to text everyone in New York the news before he goes outside where Skylar is waiting and Dylan tells her the news where Skylar comments he's not going to let that happen and Dylan replies "Not without a fight. And I don't think I'm the only person who thinks that either."

100 begins with Dylan packing his acoustic guitar and walking towards McKinley. On the way he passes many places that bring back memories in flashback form as he sings Wake Me Up (Acoustic) which ends upon seeing Quinn and Brittany for the first time in months. While Quinn seems happy to see him, Brittany is unsure and keeps her distance. While Dylan walks down the corridors with Quinn, they catch up where Quinn says she's met someone and thinks it could go well before she asks how he's doing in New York but he discreetly changes the subject, asking about Yale as they continue walking down. He meets Biff soon after when Quinn FaceTimes him and takes an automatic disliking to him but doesn't say anything.

He is then seen in the choir room as Mr. Schuester commends the graduates and alumni for making it on such short notice. He is happy at April's return and then joins in with Raise Your Glass. He is then seen walking out of the boy's bathroom while putting a pill bottle in his bag before he continues walking when he is stopped by Brittany, saying she knows about him and the pills. Dylan flat out denies it even though Brittany accuses him many times before they delve into a full blown argument. Santana witnesses this and decides that they've both lost what they love: dancing and wants to help get it back.

It takes Brittany little persuasion as she performs Toxic with Quinn and Santana and Dylan watches but no matter how hard Santana tries, she can't get through to a stubborn Dylan who doesn't listen. Although he joins in with Keep Holding On, he is seen to be distant from Quinn, Brittany and Santana. Even though Santana manages to get through to Brittany with her dancing through a performance of Valerie, Dylan reveals that he might be quitting Juilliard because his grades and performances are slipping. People are seen to be worried, including Jenn and Alex who said they never knew, and when most of the club try and talk to him to reconsider he refuses and storms off.

The next day, a note is passed around saying to go to the auditorium where they do to see Dylan sat on a stool with a guitar in hand. He then plays and sings Red for his part of the celebration before sighing and leaving. He watches Happy from the doorway and tries to sneak away but someone sees him. Brittany finds him sat by the football field and the conversations interlock with Puck and Quinn's and Santana and Jenn's conversations where the latter couples reconcile but Dylan and Brittany are still unsure of where they stand. He is stood by Jenn and Alex as Mr. Schuester gives his speech before he begins crying. Dylan sheds a few tears as they are led back, not seeing April and Holly begin to plot Sue's demise.

In New Directions, Dylan is first seen helping out with packing the trophies and is seen in C.H.U.M.S in Tina's dream. He then applauds I Am Changing as Brittany watches him from afar. While the Animal Husbandry club are away on a field trip, Dylan is seen sat in the choir room in his own world when he hears a voice before turning and seeing Brittany. She asks how he's feeling but he remains distant. Brittany then says that trying to level with his body with pills will do the exact opposite and that he can't live his life this way when he's only just started living his dream. Dylan sighs and says that she's right but it'll be hard for him. Brittany says that it doesn't matter as long as he tries and she'll always be by his side. They then sing a duet of Let Me Go which ends with them sharing a hug.

He then watches Santana and Rachel's performance of Be Okay and applauds them, happily smiling at the fact the two girls made up. When Will asks for any volunteers, Dylan takes the stage and says that although people are probably tired of his voice, he has one more song. Dylan then explains how the club helped him and accepted him through tough times and hopes that can help right now before it ends. He then announces the true nature of his job as well as his constant prescription for sleeping pills. While most of the club are shocked, he goes on to say that one person really helped him see the true nature of his actions and all it took was a duet and a 5 minute conversation. He then said he worked on a number and although he's slightly rusty on the dance side, he hopes they enjoy before singing I Want Crazy to massive applause from the club.

He watches Just Give Me A Reason and applauds the end, smiling when Quinn announces her and Puck are an official couple before wishing them good luck. He then looks solemn at Will's speech but smiles at him. When Will watches the video, he watches Dylan say that Will saved his life after his parents died before saying to the unborn child to make sure every memory with their parents count. He also joinsin with Don't Stop Believin' and applauds Will at the end. He is seen at graduation in the audience, applauding the McKinley graduates and when Brittany is called, he says that he basically begged Principal Sylvester to give her a proper graduation but she got it and he watches with pride as Brittany gets her diploma. He then begins to sing The Goodbye Song with Jenn, Alex, Nolan, Eva and JJ as they all watch the seniors graduate but also look at the New Directions and alumni. After graduation, Brittany is seen in the corridors where he thanks her for being there for him and after talking, Dylan offers Brittany to come to New York with him and Brittany accepts on one condition: they move in together. Dylan accepts before they hug.

He then stands on the auditorium stage for what could be the last time as he goes back through memories with the New Directions in his minds and he sheds a tear and a smile before walking away.

Dylan is first seen walking back through the Juilliard corridors in New New York and goes into a voiceover about how he feels like he never left Juilliard and says that life with Brittany is going well and they both moved in with Jenn and Alex while Brittany got a part-time job teaching younger kids to dance and that he has been going to weekly counselling sessions to help with his sleeping pill problem and although it's a struggle, he's getting there. But Dylan then says that since he missed the Summer performance due to being at McKinley at the time, he's been called into the Dean's office.

He is then seen having a talk with the Dean and Dylan has to explain that he needed to be there for the New Directions as without them he wouldn't have discovered how much he loved music. The Dean decides to put Dylan as a last minute addition into the Side Show, which is a miniature show for the students that missed the last Summer show due to important commitments. The Dean then tells him it's at the end of the week and Dylan thanks him for this opportunity and leaves the office happy. He joins in with Downtown before deciding to walk home when Rachel, Kurt and Blaine get a ride from the former's newly acquired chauffeur.

Dylan is then seen preparing his routines (which requires two performances, a song and dance performance of the performers choice) and is seen to be nervous when Brittany returns from work. Dylan expresses his worries over the amount of time he has to perfect his numbers and Brittany decides to help, going over ideas. They then decide on doing a dance number together while Dylan does a solo song with his guitar. Dylan smiles a and kisses Brittany which grows heated before being interrupted by Alex who brought Ethan round for a movie night. Dylan asks when Jenn and Santana are back from their extended vacation and Alex said they'll be back in 2 weeks before Dylan said that he has to go to work before quickly leaving

At the club, Dylan is seen walking into the changing room at the end of his shift with Skylar as they're laughing before she asks if he's joining her on a night on the town. Dylan declines, saying that he has to work on his routines but Skylar convinces him otherwise. They are then seen in the streets of New York, both of them drunk, when Skylar trips and falls on a piece of broken glass. They manage to get to the hospital where Skylar is taken for stitches while Dylan sobers up and is kept there overnight.

He wakes up and sees a disappointed looking Brittany, saying she thought he was better than this. Dylan apologises but Brittany stops him and says she wants him to meet two new friends she met this morning. While Dylan tries to make her not to, thinking it's either a new counsellor or the leader of a Narcotics/Alcoholics Anonymous group, she takes her to a room where there are two teenagers waiting. Brittany introduces Dylan to Peter Faulkner (played by Emmanuel Kelly) and his adopted sister Amy (played by Rion Paige). Brittany explains that they are both limited to the use of their hands so they can't do everyday stuff like him and while he goes out and drinks and takes pills because he can't control himself, Peter and Amy have to get other people to help them do everyday things such as eating, putting on their clothes and writing. Dylan sheds teas at the sudden realisation that he can't live like he is before he listens to both Peter and Amy sing and realising that they're both really good, he invites them to sing with him at the Side Show which they agree to.

While the New Yorkers (including new addition Mercedes) are seen in the audience, Dylan is backstage with Brittany and he thanks her and gives her a gentle kiss before they are introduced. They perform a jive routine while Dylan sings The Middle and the routine goes off without a hitch and as they leave the stage, they share a big hug.

It then shows the introduction to Dylan's second and final performance and the curtains open to reveal Dylan sat on a stool with Amy and Peter sat on either side of him. It flashes back to Dylan backstage after his dance with Brittany as he is sat down and is staring at his guitar. Brittany asks what's wrong before Dylan puts the guitar back in it's case and says that he's not using it for his second performance, saying that he doesn't want Peter or Amy to feel alone and that they can't do something and Brittany smiles, saying that he is truly growing up before they share a hug. It then cuts back to Dylan, Peter and Amy as they sing Far Away. It ends to massive applause as Dylan hugs the two younger singers.

During People, Dylan is seen sat behind a piano with Amy and Peter as they all sig and laugh together with Brittany watching with a proud smile on her face.

In Bash, Dylan is first seen in the candlelight visual and harmonises for No One Is Alone and is seen to watch Alex, Kurt and Ethan who all look solemn. It then cuts to him sitting in the apartment eating before he gets a phone call. He answers and is seen to be shocked and after the call ends, Dylan puts the phone down and starts pacing around the room. When Jenn asks why, Dylan reveals that he's just been signed by an agency who saw him at the Spring Showcase, RENT and the Side Show as they kept a close eye on him before deciding to sign him. While Jenn is happy at her friend's news, Alex is distracted because of his upcoming NYADA Midwinter Critique and with the recent gay bashing incidents. Dylan promises to look after Alex through the troubling times.

Dylan is then seen walking into a skyscraper building and coming up to a door with a plaque that says "Barry Ellis Agency". He knocks and is summoned in, coming face to face with Barry (played by Beau Bridges), a former Tony winning Broadway actor who now runs his own agency in hopes he can find the next big star. After a talk with Barry, where he says that he sees star quality in Dylan, he signs with the agency and leaves with a smile on his face.

He is then seen at the critique where after he applauds Jack's performance and also Alex's solo of All I Need Is The Girl, he applauds Broadway Baby but watches as Carmen plans to flunk both Rachel and Blaine. He then tries to get through to Rachel about quitting NYADA with no such luck.

He is seen on his break at work when he gets a phone call from Rachel and looks devastated by the news that Kurt has been attacked. At the hospital, he is talking to Kurt while both him and Blaine are sleeping and they talk about what happened in senior year and how he wasn't there for him and he feels awful about it and how he wants to be there for him now. A nurse then comes in and asks him to leave as visiting hours are over which he does as he sings Carry On, interchanging between him singing the song in the hospital and him singing in front of Barry.

He then talks to Alex at the apartment who still seems incredibly shaken by Kurt being attacked and how he's now afraid to walk home from school by himself or even walk anywhere. Both Dylan and Ethan promise to be there for him and protect him before receiving a call from Rachel that Jack is planning to kill Kurt's attackers if he finds them. Dylan goes on an extensive search for Jack and finds him and they tussle before Dylan says to Jack that he helped him not to damage his life so Dylan wants to do the same and that Jack's actions could have serious consequences and although Kurt is one of Jack's best friends, killing the people who attacked him will not enhance that, it'll destroy it. Jack says that he knows nothing before walking away.

After Colourblind, Dylan finds Jack and is about to apologise when Jack just raises a hand out to shake and call a truce which Dylan accepts and they shake hands. He is then seen at the Potluck dinner and when Sam and Mercedes reveal their relationship, Dylan smiles before Jack makes a comment about them when he hits back with a comment about his and Rachel's relationship which doesn't get a reply. The New Yorkers then toast to Kurt's upcoming critique performance and he applauds I'm Still Here before hugging Kurt at the end.

Dylan is first seen talking to Barry in Tested and he reveals he may have scored an audition for him that could be his trip to Broadway. Dylan seems happy and thanks Barry before his agent says that he'll let him know as soon as he has confirmation. Dylan thanks him once again and leaves before an alert on his phone says he has his check-up soon. He meets Brittany and they are seen to go to a health clinic.

Dylan is then seen to be sat with the guys and when Sam suggests they go to get STD checks, Dylan says he gets check ups every month due to his past of infidelity as does Brittany as they both want to make sure the other is safe. Dylan is then seen to test negative for any STDs as does Brittany and they both seem happy when Dylan tells her about the potential audition where Dylan explains that the musical Hit List is recasting the three main roles, looking for young, unknown faces and Barry may have scored Dylan an audition for Nick, the main character's best friend and also for the understudy of Jesse, the main character. Brittany is excited for Dylan and wishes him luck if he gets it.

Barry calls him the next day and says he's got the audition for the day after. He then explains that they'll be an acting part of the audition but the singing part is important as the directors have assigned a task for auditionees as they're looking for someone who understands the characters and the story of Hit List itself. And the task is for the audition song to be a song that he thinks would be a good inclusion to the story. Dylan says that he'll do his best, thanks Barry for the audition chance and hangs up before working on ideas for his audition song.

At the audition, Dylan is sat in the audience seats with other auditionees and he is soon called up. When one of the directors asks for his song choice and what part of the musical he thinks it would fit into and Dylan reveals that he went down a rare road in choosing a song to be from the main female character Amanda's point of view and Dylan says that his song best describes what she feels in he second act when she loses everything and then decides to return home to her roots. He then performs Nightingale and receives good comments to which he smiles at and walks away.

Back at the apartment, Dylan is sat with Brittany who asks if he thinks he's done well. Dylan simply replies with that he can only hope for the best.

Dylan is first seen in Opening Night at Kurt, Rachel and Santana's apartment with Tina, Mercedes, Brittany, Jenn, Alex, Ethan, Blaine and Sam to cheer on Rachel at her opening night before saying that he's going with Jenn to see Jack in the first half before seeing Rachel's second half. Jenn says that she'll be at Jack's for the whole performance but wishes Rachel luck nonetheless. Kurt then asks if he's heard anything about Hit List and Dylan says that Barry will let him know as soon as he finds out but for now, it's a waiting game and his mains thoughts are to support his friends on their Broadway debut.

Whilst walking back to the apartment the next day, he gets a call from Barry and says while he hasn't got the roles he auditioned for, the producers want him to go back and audition for Jesse. Dylan is stunned and accepts, letting Kurt know he won't be there due to important commitments. Arriving at the theatre, the producers say that they want him to sing a duet with the young woman they recently cast as Amanda who is none other than Harmony Monroe (played by Lindsay Pearce), formerly of the Unitards and while Dylan is shocked, Harmony asks him to pick a song and they perform a duet of Between The Raindrops where the producers praise the chemistry and Dylan's vocals before saying they'll let him know over the next couple of days.

At Jack's opening night, Dylan is seen to be sat with Jenn and Ethan as they watch He's A Star and the rest of the first half, applauding Jack as well as Kylie before Dylan makes his way over to the theatre where Funny Girl is showing to see Rachel. On the way there, Barry calls him to let him know he is the new Jesse in Hit List on Broadway. Dylan reveals all in Rachel's dressing room where their friends are pleased for him and he lets Jack, Jenn, Ethan and everyone who couldn't make it know by text.

During Who Are You Now?, Dylan is seen to take Brittany's hand as the pair shed tears over the song. They are then seen congratulating Rachel on a spectacular opening night, along with Dylan before the New York gang are reunited at the gay bar where they all join in with Pumpin' Blood. When returning to Rachel, Kurt and Santana's apartment, he visually cringes at Sue and Mario before applauding Rachel standing up to Sue. He is then seen with the New Yorkers while they read both Rachel's and Jack's reviews, happy at the praise they got before he is ecstatic about the news of Will and Emma giving birth to a baby boy before hugging both of the burgeoning Broadway stars.

The Back-Up Plan first shows Dylan showing up for his first Hit List rehearsal where he first meets the co-directors Nathaniel Reed (played by Taye Diggs) and Derek Wills (played by Jack Davenport). While Nathaniel is initially friendly and happy towards the new leading man, Derek is more reserved regarding his first impressions of Dylan. He also sees Harmony again and meets the actor playing JB: Sam Strickland (played by Leslie Odom Jr.) and also comes face to face once again with Adam Crawford (played by Oliver Kieran-Jones) who beat Dylan in the casting for Nick. Not long after, the actress playing the Diva: Jasmine Pellinger (played by Laura Osnes) turns up and introduces herself to the new cast members before they dive straight into rehearsal. With the show taking a few weeks break to get the new cast up to speed with the old cast dropping out at short notice, Dylan, Harmony and Adam are all feeling the pressure when Derek decides to drop a full run through on them when they've only been in rehearsal an hour and a half. Dylan and Adam are worried but Harmony wants to dive straight in, which they do.

After the run through, Derek rips on all of the new cast before telling them to take 5 before they'll focus on the scenes between Amanda and Jesse and the new cast take a breather when Jasmine and Sam head over saying don’t take any of Derek’s insults on the chin. He’s a very harsh director but he only wants the best and he’s like this with all of the new cast that join any of his shows. They all take their advice and use the rest of the break to stretch and warm up. Derek sees this and smirks before coming back and focusing on the scenes with Dylan and Harmony. After running them through, both Nathaniel and Derek seem impressed by both Harmony and Dylan’s onstage chemistry before going over the choreography with them as Sam and Jasmine and the rest of the cast help.

Derek calls it a night before bringing Dylan, Harmony and Adam to one side. He says that Hit List will be their big break as it’ll be their first Broadway show and it may not seem like it but they once they get into the show, Derek will put his faith in them. After leaving, Adam asks if they want to go for a drink just to chat and to get to know each other better. Both Harmony and Dylan agree and they go to a jazz club named The Indigo Square in Manhattan. After chatting over a few drinks, they are recognised by a couple of Broadway fanatics who heard about the casting and they are asked to sing, which they do and sing Smooth Operator to massive applause from the crowd and also a spectating Derek and Nathaniel who share a knowing glance and nod.

The next day, they turn up for rehearsal and Derek immediately goes into a full run through with just the new cast doing the routines and the rest just speaking their lines. After that run through, it seems like Derek is going to tear them down again but instead he gives positive feedback and a few points of constructive criticism. While the cast look surprised, Dylan, Harmony and Adam smile and thank Derek before working on their points. The episode ends with Dylan, Harmony and Adam walking out of rehearsal with smiles on their face and Derek and Nathaniel watching with smiles on their face.

At Hit List rehearsal in Old Dog, New Tricks, Dylan is seen singing Anymore for the scene where Jesse sees Amanda for the first time and after he finishes, while Nathaniel is giving both Dylan and Harmony constructive feedback, Derek comes in and mentions the story about Rachel missing a show where he makes a comment about her before Dylan steps in, saying Rachel is a friend of his and he's not going to tolerate comments made against her. Derek is incredulous as to whether Dylan knows Rachel Berry or not before both Harmony and Adam say that they've met her too and know she and Dylan are good friends. Derek just raises an eyebrow before mentioning at Nathaniel and the cast to continue on, which they do.

He is then seen in the studio at Juilliard before his hip hop class with Jazmyn who asks if he's going to be able to balance school with being on Broadway and Dylan says that the faculty are going to see his opening night show in a week's time and if they think the show is up to their standards then they are prepared to freeze his place at Juilliard while he performs on the Great White Way but if everything doesn't work out, he can simply go back to Juilliard and continue training but right now he needs to put all of his effort into his Broadway debut. Jazmyn agrees and wishes him luck before Tyrell enters to start the class.

Dylan goes out to lunch with Harmony and Adam where Dylan invites them round for Pot Luck as his friends have been saying they've been dying to get to know his castmates. Harmony accepts while Adam is unsure giving his bad history with Kurt but Dylan says he'll make sure Kurt and Blaine are on their best behaviour which convinces Adam and they both agree to going to Pot Luck.

When Dylan, Harmony and Adam show up, it is Santana, Jack, Jenn and Rachel there and while Rachel and Jack goes worryingly pale over seeing Harmony, Santana and Jenn greet both of them with open arms. While they all chat about Hit List, Kurt walks in from a shift at the diner and when walking in to see his rival for NYADA application and his ex-boyfriend, he simply says “Oh my Lupone.” and faints. When he wakes up, he sees the whole of the New York crew laughing while the Hit List trio perform Oh Sherrie (revealed to be Harmony's audition song for Hit List) to the others watching and clapping. Kurt seems left out and simply watches from a distance.

Dylan is then seen at Kurt’s show where he apologises after the production ends and Kurt accepts before they share a hug before Dylan reveals Adam has a boyfriend: a guitarist and vocalist in a band named Oliver Hollywell before Harmony, Adam and Oliver (played by Freddie Stroma) walk in and say that the performance was amazing with Adam giving Kurt a compliment which he accepts before the people head over to the Diner for the performance of Take Me Home Tonight.

In the Untitled Rachel Berry Project, Dylan is first seen walking backstage through the theater as he passes the chorus as well as Sam, Jasmine, Adam and Harmony who wish him good luck. He is last seen stood behind the curtain and just as the lights goes down for the curtain to be raised, it flashes back to a week earlier.

Dylan, Harmony and Adam are seen doing interviews leading up to the reopening of Hit List: radio, local TV and website interviews where all seems well as they head into an interview with BroadwayWorld.com where their significant others: Brittany, Oliver and Kyle Vermeer, Harmony's boyfriend (played by Asher Monroe) watch on. The author of the interview: Michael Ingrid (played by Adam Kantor) praises the 3 of them for working hard to make the show the best in such short time and the interview goes well until Michael takes Dylan to one side and tells Dylan that he's in way over his head if he's trying to fill the shoes of Jimmy Collins. Dylan hits back by saying that Harmony has to fill the shoes of Karen Cartwright and that he's not going to listen to a word he says. Michael then says he's going to their first show to watch him crash and burn.

At Rachel, Kurt and Santana's apartment, Dylan tells the others what happened and they're all disgusted by Michael's words, minus Jack who reveals that Michael is known for having his favourite performers and whenever someone takes over, he tries to unease them. Dylan says that it worked before putting his head in his hands. When the others calm him down, he leaves for dress rehearsal where he is met with Derek and Nathan who says that they read Michael's review and both Harmony and Adam told them about the conversation they had. Both directors tell him to not let it get to him and that he's a talented performer and perfect for the role. While Dylan thanks them for their words, he is still worried about messing up in front of the audience.

After finishing the full run through in the Barrymore Theatre, the 3 new cast members are met with unanimous praise from the rest of the cast and crew. Derek lets everyone have a lunch break and everyone leaves minus Dylan who stands in the middle of the stage, looking out at the audience and he pictures his family and friends in the front row as he sings Photograph as he thinks about everyone in New York as well as everyone back home in Lima. When he finishes, applause breaks out and Dylan turns to see Quinn stood there. Dylan smiles and says "You made it." to which Quinn replies "I wouldn't miss my little brother's Broadway debut for the world." before they share a hug.

As Dylan's opening night is the same day as Blaine's showcase, he doesn't expect all of his friends to be there but is surprised when Brittany, Jenn, Alex, Ethan, Quinn, Puck and Mike turn up as well as Eric, Andrew and all of his close family and so does all of the younger McKinley kids and Mr. Schuester. They go backstage and wish him luck to which he thanks them for before Harmony bursts in and says that both Karen Cartwright and Ivy Lynn are in the audience. Dylan is surprised but raring to go before Harmony precariously tells him that Michael is also there and he has a front row seat. Dylan just takes a deep breath and says that no one will ruin his Broadway debut before everyone leaves when the 15 minute warning is sounded.

It then goes back to Dylan walking backstage through the theatre and everyone wishing luck before he is stood behind the curtain. When it's raised, Dylan's view is still obscured as he is stood behind his screen for Rewrite This Story which Dylan and Harmony soon goes into after Jasmine soon does the introduction. The show goes very well and after the scene where Amanda/Nina gives in to JB's advances, Dylan begins Caught In The Storm where he sees Rachel, Jack, Blaine, Kurt, Sam, Santana, Tina and Mercedes make their way into the theatre. He keeps his composure and gets through the song to applause as the curtain goes down for intermission.

He makes it backstage to hugs from the cast and all of the New Yorkers before he pulls himself together for the second act. As the first performance of The Goodbye Song ends with the new cast members, the lights go out and deafening applause rings throughout the theatre as the cast comes on to take their final bows. Once Dylan and Harmony take their bows, Dylan signals the audience to quieten down before he says that Harmony, Adam and himself dedicate their performance as well as every performance they will take part in to Kyle Bishop, the writer of the show who was killed in a car accident the night before his show premiered Off-Broadway before they perform the version of Broadway, Here I Come! that the original cast performed at the Tonys as a tribute to Kyle which they receive a standing ovation for.

Backstage Dylan, Harmony and Adam are receiving masses of praise and congratulations from the cast and team when they see Karen Cartwright (played by Katharine McPhee) and Ivy Lynn (played by Megan Hilty) make their way over before Karen hugs the three newbies, giving them congratulations on an amazing job and that Kyle would be proud which Ivy mimics. The cast are happy for them when Michael makes his way over and rips into Dylan for not living up to Jimmy's portrayal before Karen stops him and says that Jimmy would've been proud of Dylan which ceases Michael's rant.

As Dylan makes his way out, he is hugged by everyone coming to see him as they congratulate him and say they're proud. Dylan asks Rachel what Mary thought of her script to which she replies saying that if it gets picked up, his character has shirtless scenes so he doesn't have to worry to which Dylan jokingly fist pumps before laughing.

Dylan is then seen with the others the next morning at the apartment where they toast before he rushes outside and congratulates Sam on his modelling gig before he listens to Rachel's speech and joins in with Pompeii, with it showing Dylan hugging Brittany as she leaves for Mercedes' tour as it slowly shows Dylan holding something in his hand behind his back.

Season Six
It will be revealed what happened between Dylan and Brittany as well as if Dylan's burgeoning Broadway career has kept going. It is revealed that there will be a major character in Dylan's storyline, portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Personality
When it comes to people he respects, Dylan has a good heart and will always listen to people. People who make fun of his friends without even having a proper reason really ticks Dylan off and he's not afraid to stand up for himself. But don't let Dylan's baby face fool you. Dylan can tend to be quite explosive when he is set off. He's a lion at heart and he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, even if it means violence (although I wouldn't if I were you: he's trained at amateur boxing) and he has resorted to violence when people made fun of his family. Let's just say they didn't talk or even think about the Armstrong's in a mocking way ever again. He is very determined and won't let anybody distract him from anything, with the exception of his family and the right girl that will give him back what he gives out: care.

He hates people that talk over other people or people that disrespect and discriminate other people because of their gender, race, sexuality, disability, anything and he'll even stand up to one of the jocks if they're being stupid and clearly wrong (even if they don't know it).

With an IQ of 138, Dylan is a smart guy and knows what he's doing. He hasn't got lower than a B (one B but he was one percent off an A) in any test since preschool and finds it funny when he talks all technical and people get confused.

 * His first concert was a Meat Loaf concert with his father when he was 8 years old on the 'Just Having Fun' tour. Dylan says that his father snuck him in a rucksack but when it was searched, he was let through just because Dylan said his favorite Meat Loaf album was a tie between 'Bat Out Of Hell' and 'Welcome To The Neighborhood'.
 * His favorite musical is RENT and has had dreams about being the character Roger onstage. His favorite songs from the musical are Rent, Goodbye Love, One Song Glory, Your Eyes, La Vie Boheme A and Seasons Of Love.
 * His fantasy girlfriend would be TNA Knockout: Mickie James and has once described her as "the most perfect human being to walk this Earth".
 * If he could perform any song he wanted in glee club, he would perform the Hawaiian version of Better Together by Jack Johnson.
 * After his parents died in Blame It On The Alcohol, Dylan is seen to wear caps and hats (with the exception of Regionals and his performance of The End Where I Begin) up until the end of Rumours where he leaves for Carmel High. The next time he is seen (after prom), in Funeral, he is seen to not wear one anymore.

 * He is shown to have a very wide vocal range. Specifically, the lowest note he can hit is a G2 (as shown in Bring Him Home) and the highest he can hit is an E5 (as shown in Time For Miracles).
 * Dylan's creator Cola-Flavoured-Sherbet once said in an interview that if Dylan was to be created on popular game The Sims 3 as a young adult, he would have these 5 traits: Athletic, Friendly, Virtuoso, Nurturing and Commitment Issues and his Lifetime Wish would be either Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers, One Sim Band or Rock Star.
 * It's twice that Dylan sings a song named Photograph but he sings the Nickelback song in The Untitled Rachel Berry Project and the Ed Sheeran song in Dreams Come True.
