Jack Harmon

"No, friendship is a complex dance of trust we all participate in. But my friends don't dance and since they don't dance, well, you're NO FRIENDS OF MINE!" -Jack, to Santana and Kurt, Frenemies.

Jonathan Michael "Jack" Harmon is an actor, currently starring on the Netflix original series, Vampire Chronicles. He was a student at the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts (NYADA), graduate of William McKinley High School and a former member of the New Directions glee club, where he served as the student director in his senior year. He is introduced in season one and is considered by many members of the group to be "Rachel Berry with a five o'clock shadow." He is played by actor Aaron Tveit.

History
Jack Harmon was born in 1994 to Kristopher Harmon and an unknown surrogate mother. He is a member of the Harmon family, an obscenely wealthy Ohio family with connections all over the world.

As the only child of a single parent, Jack was raised with the belief that he was special and was considered by his instructors as something of a prodigy in the performing arts, planting the seeds of greatness in his mind. Since then, Jack has remained steadfast in his goal to be a star and get the hell out of Lima.

He entered McKinley High in his freshman year, as numerous private schools had rejected him on the basis of his arrogant attitude and over the top revenge schemes.

He was cast of the Emcee in the McKinley High production of Cabaret, but became so frustrated with Sandy Ryerson's incompetent direction, he quit shortly after Rachel. He told her she inspired him to switch over to something he deemed more worthwhile, specifically Glee club. He would join up with them after Invitationals.

Season One (spoilers from here)
Jack is introduced in The Rhodes Not Taken as the Emcee in the school’s production of Cabaret. He and Rachel interact and he seems easy frustrated by Sandy Ryerson’s inability to direct or stick with the story. After Invitationals, Jack congratulates Rachel on the win and states that he has quit Cabaret and plans on auditioning for the Glee Club.

In Vitamin D, Jack utilizes his skills in manipulation by helping Mitchell Mason save his relationship with Santana in order to get a second motion to join New Directions. He is surprised to see Terri as the school nurse and begins to press all the gossip centers to find why she’s in school, considering that she has no nursing experience. He is amused to discover that she has given Finn the Vitamin D and decides to keep quiet for his own amusement. Afterwards, he scolds himself for keeping quiet as Sue is now the co-director of New Directions.

In Throwdown, Jack is, at first, amused by Sue’s treatment of everyone in the room while, at the same time, thrilled to be rid of the others, as he claimed "they take up too much space in my spotlight and when you’re as amazing as I am, you need all the spotlight you can get." Eventually, he becomes frustrated as Sue and Will’s behavior causes him to mess up during rehearsals.

In Wheels, Jack manages to aquire a motorized wheelchair, vocally expressing his annoyance with the lesson. During the same episode, he supports Rachel in the Defying Gravity Diva-Off against Kurt. After Kurt flubs the high F, Jack leaps from his wheelchair and dances around the room, telling Kurt, "You lost the solo! Eat it in the face!"

In Hairography, Jack is not worried by the Jane Adams girls or the students from Haverbrook, considering them "talentless" and "deaf". He becomes visibly frustrated by the use of Hairoprahpy and threatens to burn his wig. His temper tantrum seems to spike at the Haverbrook’s version of Imagine, one because he hates the song and he thinks that the deaf have no place in glee.

In Mattress, he is reluctant to be in the picture with Rachel as he has been victimized by Thunderclap vandalism. When she gets the commercial deal, he adds that he doesn’t mind being naked or objectifying certain animals. He goes straight to Figgins for forcing Will out as director after realizing that the mattresses could disqualify them from Sectionals, only to be threatened with expulsion if he didn’t leave. This is the first time we see what glee means to Jack as he backs down without a single insult or backhanded remark.

In Sectionals, he is surprised that he didn’t figure out that Puck was the father of Quinn’s baby, but finds the whole situation hilarious, wishing for popcorn during the fight. He tosses Jacob Ben-Israel out of the building when Finn returns. He is elated when they win, and he and Rachel come up with the perfect celebratory song by performing We Are the Champions with New Directions.

In Hell-O, Aaron’s name is added to the main cast. With his new status in the group, Jack is making plans for Regionals, both legal and illegal. Jack suggests to Mr. Schue that they should use the Beatles song Hello, Goodbye as their “new hello” song. Is immediately suspicious of Jesse St. James’ motives in dating Rachel, but decides to withhold judgment as he sees it as a way into learning Vocal Adrenaline’s weaknesses.

In The Power of Madonna, he is completely against the use of Madonna, but sings Madonna’s Crazy for You to describe the torrid triangles that permeate the club. He learns the truth about Finn and Santana when he spots Finn at the motel. Why he was at the motel is another story altogether.

Home explores the complicated backstory of Jack's conception and reveals to the audience, for the first time, the identity of his biological mother. In the present, Jack is not thrilled at having to rehearse in a roller rink (mostly because he cannot skate), but he learns when April takes pity on him and the two sing a duet of Bruce Springsteen’s The Long Walk Home. He later thanks April for buying the auditorium after her performance of Home before a flashback reveals that she is his biological mother, though, at the time, she is unaware of their connection.

In Bad Reputation, he is enjoying the latest video of “Fat Kids Get Hurt While Unfitting Music Plays” when Kurt comes in with Sue’s Physical video. They begin watching the video and decide and post it to YouTube. He is quite satisfied with his own reputation as the school’s resident prankster and blackmailer. He chooses to sing McArthur Park as a song to rehabilitate. Jack is also accused of publishing the “Glist”, which he denies, stating he hates portmanteaus and would name it something that unoriginal, but also because he was never mentioned the list and because he’s an egomaniac and would put himself at number one. He also tells Schue that he saw Quinn putting the Glist on the locker, but refused to say anything because he thought it was funny. He steals a reference book from the library during the U Can’t Touch This performance just for the hell of it. He is so impressed by Rachel’s manipulation of Jesse, Puck, and Finn; he sticks around for her performance of Total Eclipse of the Heart.

In Laryngitis, he helps Rachel bug the room. He laughs when he sees “Butch Kurt”, only to be mildly impressed by the Mellencamp performance. He storms into the doctor’s office, demanding that Rachel get a second opinion and calls the doctor a "self-involved quack who just wants to touch young girls." He chooses I’m Alive from Next To Normal as the song that best describes his voice because, "I [Jack] am my voice. I am the lone wolf of talent amongst the boys and most of the girls. And I feed on other peoples’ misery, so it works out fine."

Dream On is one of the first times Jack’s emotions get the better of him. After Bryan Ryan’s cynical and disparaging tirade against dreams, he calls him a “douche” to his face, unexpectedly defending Tina. Jack then sets out in a way to ruin the school board member, blackmailing Herb, the drycleaner, into giving Mr. Schue the role of Jean Valjean. We later learn he has been monitoring Sue and has footage of her tryst with Bryan.

In Theatricality, after getting the “Lady Gaga” assignment, he is even more frustrated, confronting Mr. Schue on his choice of assignments, declaring that he is ruining the art of glee and will have nothing to do with this assignment. He plays the piano during the boys’ performance of KISS’ Beth. Afterwards, he decides to apologize to Mr. Schue, a rare moment of kindness from the character, and tells him he’s been work on his own theatrical production, performing Bi-Costal from The Boy From Oz. He also helps Kurt and Finn after they are nearly attacked by Azimio and Karofsky.

In Funk, the arc of personality clashes between Jack and Schue comes to an end. As they argue over how to handle Vocal Adrenaline, Schue threatens to toss him out if he chooses to get revenge. He resigns from New Directions in order to pursue revenge against Vocal Adrenaline for egging Rachel and toilet papering the music room. He reveals in a voiceover that he did it to protect the group from the legal repercussions of what he has in mind for Vocal Adrenaline.

In Journey, before Jack follows through on his promise to get revenge on Vocal Adrenaline, he watches New Directions’ performance and is legitimately proud of them. Watching their performance of To Sir, With Love, he realizes that they actually matter to him. He decides then and there to help them get another year. After learning what Sue had done, he destroys the video footage, but keeps the backups just in case. He is welcomed back into the group, stating that he once believed that the glee kids were wastes of his precious air, but now he only feels that way about Puck.

Season Two
In Audition, Jack reveals that he has been on vacation in London, soaking up the culture and the theatre. He claims that over the summer he decided that he wanted to be slightly nicer and more tolerant of other people. Still, he returns to his old ways when he learns the Glee club is performing Empire State of Mind, claiming, “I would rather bait a crocodile with my manhood than sing this song.” He is later kept out of the fold when Finn attempts to recruit Sam, as the others believed that he would scare Sam away with his personality. He walks in on the recruitment situation and calls Sam “Gator Face”, though this does not dissuade Sam. Later, he is seen laughing at Sunshine’s unfortunate trip to the crack house, telling Rachel “that was vindictive, cruel, and completely uncalled for. I loved it. Marry me.” He also meets Coach Beiste, warning her that he is trying to be nicer to people, but he will take her down if her goals for the football team interfere with Glee.

In Britney/Brittany, Jack seems more interested in the original assignment of adult contemporary than Britney Spears. He goes to the dentist’s office for his normal checkup, having a Britney fantasy where he sings What U See (Is What U Get). He performs in the Toxic number, as he was the one who stated that Bob Fosse-style choreography would bring the song up a notch. He is seen sitting in the background as Rachel sings The Only Exception and smiling in approval at her transformation, implying that he may have found the strength to continue with his own journey.

In Grilled Cheesus, Jack is revealed to be a deist in this episode, stating that he cannot pray for Burt because he doesn’t believe in prayer, but does believe that the passage of time always helps. He also states that religion, politics and other hot-button issues don't belong in the glee club and recuses himself from the assignment. He visits Burt in the hospital where it is revealed that his father experienced the same condition and that shaped his view of religion and science. He tells Kurt that it’s irrelevant if he doesn’t believe in God as others do and they will try to help in any way they can. At the very beginning of Duets, Jack says, “I wish Puckerman would just get arrested” when he learned that Puck had been arrested, to which he shouts, “I wish I had a lightsaber”, but gets nothing. Jack holds out on finding a partner as he knows who will pair up. Instead, he opts to solo with a recording of his own voice singing Now You Has Jazz from High Society. He is the only person who enjoys Rachel and Finn’s duet, laughing like a hyena. He does not win the competition despite receiving a decent response.

He plays a minor role in The Rocky Horror Glee Show. He argues that he’s more qualified to be Brad than Finn, he begrudgingly agrees to take the role of Rocky as Sam’s double after Rachel negotiates that he understudy for Brad, Frank N’Furter and Eddie. Unlike Sam, however, he has no problem with the shorts despite his brief mention that they pinch his “twins”.

In Never Been Kissed, Jack is one of the few people not to mock Kurt’s suggestions for the mash-up competition, saying it was “too easy”. Prior to this, he is seen laughing when Mr. Schue makes Kurt join the boys’ team. He applauds the girls’ performance of Start Me Up/Livin’ On a Prayer. He listens in on the revelation about the use of Beiste as a buzz kill and can’t believe he missed out on that sort of blackmail information. He chastises himself by banging in his head into a locker, which he hopes will drown out those visuals. He also walks in on Karofsky kissing Kurt and passes out. When he recovers he reveals that he can’t remember anything, mostly because he had a Wizard of Oz dream that blocked out that memory. He states that he didn’t use Beiste as a buzz kill and, while he found extremely amusing, he understood what it was like to be laughed for something you have no control of. He sings with the boys of 'Stop! In the Name of Love/Free Your Mind' and jumps back when Beiste hugs them.

In The Substitute, Jack is mortified at the sudden change of pace in glee that Miss Holliday brings to the table. He joins Rachel (in full hazmat suit) and warn Mr. Schue of the oncoming storm. When confronted by Miss Holliday about what he wants he replies “I can do for your immediate dismissal”, but since he couldn’t have that he chose instead to tell her that he always wanted to perform a dark, cathartic number for glee, but Mr. Schue always shot him down. He gets the chance to sing Clay Aiken’s No More Sad Songs. He also takes part in the Singin’ in the Rain/Umbrella mash-up at the end of the episode.

In Furt, Jack learns that Karofsky is threatening Kurt. He, however, knows that something is amiss in Kurt’s behavior aside from the death threat and the increased bullying. He tells Karofsky to back off, stating that if he ever went near Kurt again, he would reveal whatever secret he had because “I always know what’s going on in this town.” He performs Haven’t Met You Yet alone and the group’s version of Marry You and Just the Way You Are. He’s surprised and somewhat perturbed by Kurt’s decision to leave McKinley.

Special Education shows a slight shift in Jack’s personality. He flinches when the truth about Finn and Santana comes out. He later tells Rachel that he knew the whole time and didn’t saying anything for simple reason: He shows her the shoebox that held the shoes that he was wearing when he tried out for New Directions and reveals that he had plans to seal and burn all of his blackmail information because the Glee club reminded him that, sometimes, the greatest among the living are the ones who sacrifice their joy for others.

He and Lauren both seem to enjoy the drama, although he is visibly uncomfortable around her, referring to her as the “thing that goes bump in the night”. At Sectionals, he and Mitchell Mason (played by Jonathan B. Wright) performed Fall At Your Feet. After they win Sectionals and Tina and Mercedes sing Dog Days Are Over, Jack looks at the shoebox, touches the tape he planned to seal it with, but places it back in his locker, indicating that, while he wants to better himself, there is a part of him that knows he might not be able to do it.

In A Very Glee Christmas, Jack and Rachel devise multiple plans to help her win Finn back. After Finn rejects the first attempt, he is seen in the Christmas tree display, singing Merry Christmas, Darling with her. He is on hand for Last Christmas while helping Finn and Rachel try to find a tree. After Finn leaves, Jack gives Rachel his gift, kissing her on the cheek and wishing her a “happy holiday”. Jack also takes part in the charity, secretly placing a sizable donation for the homeless in the box before anyone else can see him. When he sees Artie walking, he states, “I’m more uncomfortable with you now than I was when we first met”. He helps trim the tree at Will’s apartment and smiles when he realizes that Finn and Rachel have exchanged a look.

In The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle, Jack is the first to voice his disapproval of letting the football players join Glee, not because he thinks it’s a bad idea, but because “I deal with enough annoying people in this club, must I deal with more?” He is also complains that Sue gets to have a cannon while his trapdoor fireworks fusion has been rejected several times for being unsafe. He joins the football team with the girls in a surprising act of solidarity and finds out he’s actually pretty good at the game, where he is cheered by his father and Lisa Puckerman, Puck’s mom, whom his dad started dating during Christmas break. He chooses to stay in even after the football team returns. He takes part in the Thriller/Heads Will Roll mash-up. At the end of the episode, he is on hand for Karofsky rejecting Finn’s offer to join the glee club permanently, stating that he knew it wouldn’t last, telling Finn he resigned from the team earlier in the morning. Karofsky’s action, however, strengthens his resolve to discover what the jock is hiding.

In Silly Love Songs, Jack’s storyline revolves around his sarcastic commentary toward Santana and the others while pursuing his infatuation with a young woman who works in a music store named Felicia Beasley (played by Becky Gulsvig). He tries his hand at wooing her, but is shot down at every pass as she knows his reputation as the “only guy in the world that make shallow teenage girls up their standards”. After discussing his situation with Rachel, she advises him to simply be the romantic she knows exists in him. He sings That Face to Felicia and she is won over. The two are seen at Breadstix as Kurt and the Warblers perform Silly Love Songs.

In Comeback, Jack stays on the sidelines for most of the episode, mocking Sam for The Justin Bieber Experience. He and Felicia hit their first snag when she becomes jealous of his close relationship Rachel. Jack tells her that he and Rachel are just friends, nothing more. He performs Your Eyes by RENT to her and he wins her back. He is on hand for the SING performance and votes for Rachel’s choice of the original song. He tells Rachel that they should get started on the song.

In Blame It On The Alcohol, Jack listens to Rachel’s Headband song, which both he and Finn state sucks. He offers his hand at song-writing when Rachel reminds him that he hasn’t finished any songs he has started writing. This spurs him to realize that his song-writing heroes have all been alcoholics and takes his first drink since he was in the womb (Because you know April was doing a couple of shots while pregnant).

He goes missing for the whole weekend after Rachel’s party, which he only attended because Felicia was out of town, waking up in a field without his shoes, smelling of fish and his underwear on his head. Retracing his steps, it’s revealed that Jack had a little too much to drink and, after singing Superstar by The Carpenters, he drove down to HarmCo and broke into the building with his underwear as a mask (despite having high-level security clearance). He broke into the teleporter room and was able to reconfigure the faulty machine. This teleported him out of the room and into the field where he woke up the next day. The fish smell remains unexplained, but it disappears by the end of the episode.

He ducks when Brittany and Santana hurl during the performance of Tik Tok, only to have Mitchell throw up on him. Following this event, Sue humiliates Will with the recording of his drunken ramblings on her answering machine and the surprise that Figgins believed it was all part of the show. Jack vows two things at the end of the episode: One, Sue will be destroyed before Regionals and two: he will never drink again.

Jack spends much of the time in Sexy in a state of never-ending laughter as he seems to understand sex better than most of the other Glee members. He spies on the Warblers performance of Animal and is caught by Felicia, who warns him that he needs to stop spying on people and he confesses that he’s been going crazy not being to do what he would usually do, i.e., pranking people, blackmailing them, and tricking the fundies into believing the Rapture has begun. During this conversation, the two consummate their relationship to Little Red Corvette. This is the first time he has shown a slightly vulnerable side to anyone outside of the glee club that isn’t his father. He invites Felicia to Regionals, which she gladly accepts.

During Original Song, Jack tries his best to come up with a song for Regionals. Unfortunately, his writer’s block returns and he is unable to complete the song. So, he decides, instead, to help Rachel with her song. He discovers that Quinn was trying to gaslight Rachel in order to keep her away from Finn. He confronts her only to have her breakdown in his arms. He admits he understand the whole ‘wanting someone you can’t have’, hinting that he may only be with Felicia because the one that he wants is unavailable.

At Regionals, he watches with the same look of pride as he did watching New Directions perform at Regionals the year before when Rachel sings Get It Right, noticing that Finn is enthralled by her performance. He and the others hit the stage for Loser Like Me and bring down the house. He seems to forget himself when they win Regionals, jumping up and down, screaming like a maniac and hugging Santana, then using her as a shield when Sue punches the Governor’s wife.

Jack gives Rachel a thumbs-up following her win of MVP and joins in on the group hug. He looks away when he sees Felicia clapping from outside of the music room, implying that he’s still with her, but the one that he wants may be in the room.

In A Night of Neglect, Jack’s relationship with Felicia hits the skids again, this time leading to a serious argument about his inability to open up to her and how Rachel seems to take precedence over anything they have together. Felicia figures out that Jack is in love with someone else, though they never say who, and tells him that she refuses to be anyone’s second choice, effectively ending their relationship.

At the Night of Neglect benefit, Jack sees Karofsky verbally attack Kurt and Blaine before Santana steps in. He makes sure to remember that for future reference. After that, he spends the rest of the show backstage, stating that he’d go on if they couldn’t find Mercedes. In the end, Mercedes returns to the stage and brings the house down. It impresses Jack once again, giving her a standing ovation. The episode ends for him with Jack meeting with one of his contacts, Ethan Pressman, telling him to find out what Karofsky is hiding.

In Born This Way, Jack states that there was nothing about himself that he would change until Santana brings up his “giant basketball head”. He is against Rachel getting a nose job and spends most of the episode trying to talk her out of doing so despite the fact that he packs ice around his head, hoping that it would bring the size of it down. He performs Sister Hazel’s Change Your Mind and reveals that he does have an insecurity about his head.

He is overjoyed to see Kurt return to McKinley, claiming that he missed their early morning volley of insults. To himself, he states that his dolphin is back. This makes him push harder to find out what Karofsky is hiding, despite the fact that Ethan insists he hasn’t found anything worth mentioning.

He teams up with Puck and Kurt and takes part in the Barbra-vention at the mall. He is also seen taking part in Born This Way despite his documented dislike of Lady Gaga.

In Rumours, Jack forms a coalition with Mitchell Mason, Daniel Lawson (John Gallagher, Jr.),Dylan Armstrong (played by Neil Haskell), and Jennifer McGraw (played by Ariana Grande) to fight the rumor mill, performing a group rendition of Dirty Laundry by Don Henley. This only serves to up the ante in his rivalry with Jacob Ben-Israel, who revealed Jack’s rumored romantic interest in Rachel. He suggests the stake-out to Rachel and Finn agrees, much to his dismay.

He is the first to notice that Jack seems to become extra bristled whenever a rumor about Rachel is released. Jack finally admits that he’s in love with Rachel, but could never go through with his feelings because he knows that Finn is always her first choice. He asks her not to mention that to anyone, which Jennifer agrees.

He also reveals that April is his mother to his friends and later to April, the latter of which is something that his father sees. Later, Jack and his father discuss why he went looking for his mother, thanks to the pushing of Lisa Puckerman and Puck himself.

He follows Rachel and Finn to the motel following Sam’s storm out of the music room, revealing that he located the pawn shop when Sam hocked it. He takes part in Don’t Stop, allowing Sam to have his moment.

In Prom Queen, Jack plays a relatively small role, stating that he isn’t planning on going to prom as he feels that prom even dumber than a one-man show starring Charlie Sheen. He quickly changes his mind when he sees that Jesse has returned, going to make sure that Jesse doesn’t have something devious up his sleeve. He attends with Jenn McGraw, who had broken up with Dylan in the episode prior, so that they could mock the other losers at the event. He states that he plans on staying out things unless something happens. However, he ends up onstage singing Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell.

He helps Sue break up Jesse and Finn’s fight and dances with Kurt while Blaine is singing and Rachel after Jesse is thrown out. He is later seen dancing with the others during Dancing Queen.

In Funeral, Jack is thrilled at the idea of a competition for the solo performance at Nationals and signs up, mostly because he agrees with Vocal Adrenaline’s win at all cost tactics. He performs Out There from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and garners praise from Mr. Schuester and a scant compliment from Jesse.

Jack visits Sue in her office when he learns that Jean died, revealing that he met her one time last year during his mission to learn what could about her after the Vitamin D incident. He calls Jean a “lovely person” who “absolutely adored” Sue, which he reasoned was why she didn’t give him any damaging information on Sue to him. When asked by Sue why people died, Jack hesitated and said, “So life can matter.”

He attended Jean’s funeral, singing with the club during Pure Imagination. He was miffed when he thought that Rachel might get the solo spot until Mr. Schue announces that they would continue using original songs as a team. He is disappointed at not getting a chance to shine, but is happy that, at least, one thing hasn’t changed.

In New York, Jack spends much of the time sneaking out of the hotel room in order to find the perfect inspiration. During this adventure, he sings 'Why Should I Worry? and The Palace Medley (after breaking into the legendary theatre), plots with Dylan, enjoys the sights of New York with Rachel and Kurt, and is inspired to write Light Up the World'. His cell phone is stolen by Puck before the guys encourage Finn to take Rachel on a date as Jenn accidentally told Puck that Jack is in love with Rachel.

He finds his cell phone in the meantime, only to be preempted by Finn and Rachel’s ‘will they or won’t they’ vibe. He is visibly disappointed by Finn and Rachel’s reunion during the performance at Nationals. He finally snaps when he learns they weren’t even in the top ten. He snaps and breaks the plaque in a manner similar to Sue punching the Governor’s wife.

He is last seen in the music room, checking his notes when Mitchell enters the room and asks how he’s doing. He says he’s fine, and asks him if he thinks he did the right thing about Rachel. Mitchell tells him that the future hasn’t been written yet, that he has a chance to get the things he wants in life. Jack nods and tells Mitchell “You’re actually not that bad a friend, Number Three” to which Mitchell replies, “Same to you, Jack Ass. Same to you”.

He is in the music room when Mr. Schue shows their trophy, but he laughs and you can hear him say that he’s never taken 12th place in anything in his life.

Season Three
Jack is first seen in The Purple Piano Project just finishing stuffing Jacob Ben-Israel’s microphone in an undisclosed location. He confesses that, over the summer, he and Dr. Latham have figured out a way for him to express himself instead of repressing his emotions. There are still some flaws in the design as he is prone to outbursts at random intervals. Via flashbacks and voiceovers, Jack reveals that over the summer, his father, Kristopher, and Puck’s mother, Lisa, got engaged. That, coupled with his failure with Rachel, led him to take Puck’s advice on what to do when rejected: Find a random woman and sleep with her. He does this until the night of their parents’ engagement party that he met a girl named Millie Lansing (played by Lea Michele), a carbon copy, blonde, smaller nosed, low-maintenance version of Rachel, who was singing with the band his dad had hired.

Jack and Millie talk and discover, after “slutty engagement party sex” in a broom closet, they have both been left in the dust by someone who is in love with someone else. They agreed to see each other again and, since then, they have begun a nearly-real relationship.

In present time, Jack spends much of his time in this episode with Rachel and Kurt, performing with them during 'Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead! and going with them to the mixer where they are all left stunned by the mash-up of Anything Goes-Anything You Can Do'. Afterwards, the three of them discuss whether or not their dreams are unattainable, which Jack refuses to believe, giving some rather shady means they could become stars, before they declare that they’ll all help each other in their quests. Afterwards, Jack tells Rachel that he’s been seeing someone and that, for a time, the relationship was based on sex, but it’s changing. Rachel is thrilled that her friend has found someone, though she is disappointed as to how it all began. She asked him what he gets out of it.

Jack starts to think about and, after You Can’t Stop the Beat, he invites Millie on a date with no sex attached. Millie gladly accepts and leaves him alone. He muses on Rachel’s words and performs Being Alive from Company as the episode comes to end.

In I Am Unicorn, Jack is stunned to see Shelby return to the school, to the point where he considers not telling Rachel of her mother’s return, though, with Shelby being teacher, the point is rendered moot. He is practicing with Rachel when she and Shelby perform Somewhere and gives her a standing ovation.

He makes a play to become Tony in the school’s production of West Side Story with a performance of Life of the Party, which puts him in top contention for the part especially after the idea that Kurt is to “delicate” for the part. He is later seen laughing with Beiste, Emma, and Artie during Kurt’s second audition.

Puck later on tells him of Quinn’s plans to get Beth back and he is stunned and “slightly aroused” by Quinn’s deviousness. Jack and Puck discuss how to stop it, though Jack sees a bit of reticence in Puck’s eyes, leading him to create a backup plan in case Puck backs out.

In Asian F, Jack begins holding auditions for his replacement to take his position as the school’s resident prankster and his spot in glee. He, along with Rachel and Ethan Pressman, meets six possible applicants, Malcolm Dawson (played by Adam Chanler-Berat), Simon Baker (Kyle Riabko), Craig Perry (Gideon Glick), Warren Hubbard (Simon Curtis), Avery Harper (Jennette McCurdy), and Carly Bowen (Elizabeth Gillies), and, while unimpressed by them at first, even commanding them to leave, he decides they could be the best candidates when they perform a rendition of Queen’s Hammer to Fall.

When Mercedes quits, Jack is the first to say “goodbye”, indicating a return to his original season one form, especially during the group’s fantasy performance of It’s All Over.

Jack, Mitchell, Dylan, and Blaine are called back for the role of Tony and Jack completes his return to his original self by promising that he will “end them” if they interfere in his quest for stardom. Jack reaches into his bag of tricks and pulls out multiple pranks to keep the others from getting to the callbacks. At the callback, he performs One Song Glory from Rent in the faceoff with Dylan, Mitchell, and Blaine.

However, he is disqualified for his backstage tactics and loses the part. Jack is furious and unleashes his fury on Kurt when he confronts Rachel about her running for senior class president, telling him off and storming away from the scene.

During Fix You, he is seen having a breakdown in his secret room on the third floor when he sees that his name is not on the list, as if to punish himself. The episode ends with him realizing that he has become a monster in the eyes of people he now considers his friends.

In Pot O’ Gold, it was revealed that Jack hadn’t been to school since the incident in the hallway, having not coming out of the basement, without shaving, bathing, or changing his clothes. Kristopher, having failed to get Kurt or Rachel to help, calls in Quinn, who manages to get him out of his funk.

He returns to his Successor Project first, having asked Daniel Lawson to be the third judge in Rachel’s place. He gives them their first assignment: find a song that shows them they’ve got drive and confidence required to replace him. Each one performs their song and Simon takes the lead.

When he comes back to Glee, after much difficulty, he finally apologizes to everyone for what he both did and said during auditions. The club, after much discussion, accept his apology and welcome him back.

Jack gets the surprise of his life when he sees Trevor Rayburn (played by Kyle Dean Massey) at McKinley. Trevor and Jack exchange insults in the hall and Trevor tells him he plans on auditioning for Glee before the day is done. With the defection of Brittany and Santana, Jack decides to keep his mouth shut.

He sits in the background as Trevor pulls out his rendition of Elvis’ All Shook Up and is accepting into the group. Before the episode ends, Trevor sits down next to Jack, who says “Your act hasn’t changed” to which Trevor replies “Neither has yours.”

In The First Time, Jack begins the episode speaking to Rachel and Kurt (separately) about his NYADA application when the two of them given him the advice to just grab destiny like he used to do. He takes this advice in and tells them that he’s got some thinking to do. This is where Millie meets Rachel and Kurt for the first time. Neither Rachel, Jack, nor Millie notice the similarities, but Kurt does and tells the rest of the club.

Jack discovers what Artie said during a conversation with Rachel and is stunned at what she was planning. He tries to talk her out of it in his own Jack Harmon way, but misses the mark completely. He realizes he still has feelings for Rachel in this conversation.

He goes to Will the night of the show, having taken a position backstage, and tells him that he has something to ask him.

On the night Rachel sleeps with Finn, Jack is home alone. Millie arrives, movies in hand and they have a quiet night at home. The two sleep together (the first time since they officially started dating) and when Jack is sleeping he has a dream sequence to The Killers’ Mr. Brightside.

As the episode ends in a fast forward, Will reveals that Jack is now the student director of New Directions. He confesses that for the first time, in a long time, he feels like he’s got his destiny back in his own hands.

Mash Off opens with two things. One: Jack figured out about Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine’s first times with relative ease and two: He has tasked Avery and Carly with joining the Trouble Tones as his personal spies.

He begins first week as student director unsure of what to do with the current situation, as he was pelted with sheet music by Santana and the others, and he is on hand for the You and I/You and I mash up, exchanging insults with Santana. He is behind the idea of the Mash Off because he feels that it will show that, without a shadow of a doubt, is the best one.

He learns about the Puck and Shelby kiss and is, at first, enraged that Puck could destroy their plans to stop Quinn because of “damned hormones”, but starts to see it as his way of getting ridding of the Trouble Tones. Puck, however, counters that he knows that Jack has been trying to bring down Trouble Tones, which would cost him his position as the student director and destroy his NYADA application. They end this conversation at a stand-still.

Jack goes to Will in order to get a letter of recommendation as most of the teachers hate his guts. The two discuss how Jack has grown since they first met and that leads to Jack having a change of heart in terms of his plans for the Trouble Tones.

At the dodgeball game, Jack utilizes his skills as the ringer for the HarmCo softball team, but is taken out by Santana. He confesses that he may just go back to his old ways to handle “BitchPants McCrabby”, but is stopped because of his role as student director.

He is involved in the performance of I Can’t Go For That/You Make My Dreams, singing lead for I Can’t Go For That section and they score a big lead.

Later on, he appears at Kurt and Rachel’s reconciliation and asks, “Does this mean the Golden Trinity is solvent again?” and the two tell him, “Yes”, the trio share a hug and head off into the crowd.

Before the performance of Rumour Has It/Someone Like You, Jack orders Avery and Carly to leave the Trouble Tones, but they shoot him down saying that he can’t order them around anymore as they have information to blackmail him. He tells them that they’ve advanced in the ranks, noting that Carly is like a young version of him.

In I Kissed A Girl, Jack and Finn are revealed to have worked together to create the Lady Music Week, despite his apprehension about letting the Trouble Tones in the mix, and save Santana from being suspended. He is seen watching Perfect and I’m The Only One, which he seems to enjoy.

He is surprised to find that Avery and Carly have returned to the Successor Project and tells them that their newest assignment is to find a song that shows they are comfortable in their own skins, revealing that he’s got a goal to kiss everyone in the glee club before the year is over.

Flashbacks reveal that he inadvertently gave Rachel advice on how to stuff a ballot box, though, he specifically said that you stuff all the boxes, meaning accomplices. He is stunned that Rachel actually listened to him when she reveals her actions in the election scandal. He shows another flash of integrity by telling Rachel she has to do the right thing.

For his assignment, Jack performs My Favorite Mistake, revealing that he and Santana had a tryst last year, and is actually surprised when she hugs him.

He watches the performance of Constant Craving, enjoying the show and has to leave the room when he learns that Rachel is barred from Sectionals. He tells her he would’ve taken the fall for her, but she tells him that he shouldn’t have to pay for her actions.

Hold on to Sixteen begins with Puck saying that Jack is going to be out of town before Sectionals, give or take whether or not his plan works. Jack disappeared from McKinley, a variety of flashbacks reveal that Jack feels responsible for Rachel getting banned from Sectionals and he is heading for New York to find the one girl he knows can take Rachel’s place temporarily. That girl is revealed to be his cousin, Diane Harmon (played by Victoria Justice), and she attends a performing arts school. She is revealed to be captain of her glee club and a female version of Jack who has elevated profanity-laced insults into an art form. Jack sneaks into the building and surprises her at her glee club’s meeting with a performance of The Ballad of Jack and Diane. After a brief discussion, she agrees to go with him. He returns in time to find the club rehearsing and is stunned to find that Sam is back. After pulling a flirty Diane away from Blaine, Sam, and Trevor, he introduces her and, despite everyone’s apprehension, she wins them over with a performance of Finally Falling.

It’s also revealed he knows about Puck and Shelby’s brief fling and he and Rachel are both intent on stopping Quinn, confronting her after the Unitards performance of Buenos Aires.

Following the Troubletones performance of I Will Survive/I’m A Survivor, he is seen doing his final rounds of preparation alone, when Rachel shows up to wish him many a broken leg and compliments his choice of performer. They share a moment not unlike the one at Regionals two years earlier, which is seen by Diane and Trevor, both of whom are intrigued by this development.

He is onstage with New Directions for their performances of ABC and Control, taking a lead with Finn, Blaine, Artie, Sam, and Puck for Man in the Mirror. Diane and Trevor confront him following the performance about his feelings for Rachel, which he denies to the latter and all but confirms to the former.

When they win, Jack restrains from verbally assaulting the Unitards and the Troubletones, instead taking a respectful bow into the shadows for his club to celebrate. He and Rachel along with Will sign off on the idea of letting the Troubletones perform once at every competition.

He, Finn, and Rachel take the lead on We Are Young, Jack smiling at Diane, who is watching from the shadows before he drags her onto the stage to join in, and welcomes back the Troubletones without any anger and bitterness, even taking part in the group hug.

In Extraordinary Merry Christmas, Jack is first seen singing and dancing to All I Want for Christmas, only to be slightly annoyed by Finn and Rachel’s kiss. But, after seeing her Christmas requests for Finn, he realizes sabotaging their relationship might be easier than he suspected. Mr. Schuester calls him into his office to discuss the possible Christmas special, which Jack commands they do without a moment’s hesitation.

He is on hand for Sam storming out of the room after Artie’s speech, stating “I’m pretty sure Santa brought Frosty back to life”. He is left alone in the auditorium where he performs Run, Run Rudolph, which turns into a musical duel between himself and Trevor. When the song ends, Trevor reveals that he has figured out that Jack is in love with Rachel, via tricking Puck, and tells him, just once, he wouldn’t say a thing...”cause it’s Christmastime, after all.”

After Sue’s diatribe in the choir, Jack follows her into the hall where he confronts her. She tells him she expected better from him considering his brief friendship with Jean. This gives Jack something to think about. He still decides to go through with the Christmas special, asking Artie if he could direct a section of the show, which he reveals to be a knockoff of Frank Sinatra’s dinner party with the Three Stooges, getting Mitchell and Dylan to play the roles of Larry and Shemp while he played Moe.

They appear before Finn (as Luke) and Puck (as Han) and do a wild performance of Jingle Bell Rock and take part in Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Jack listens to Rory’s reading and says, “You know what? Screw this” and exits the room, appearing at the shelter with the food and presents he was planning on donating before the day was out.

He is surprised when everyone else shows up at the shelter, but, like Sue, is genuinely touched. After performing Do They Know It’s Christmas?, he tells Sue, “Merry Christmas, Coach”.

Jack sees Finn and Rachel exchange their gifts, but still feels he can win her over. The episode ends with him in the pediatric ward at Lima General, performing Shake Up Christmas for the kids where Ethan, Diane, Millie, Jenn, Alex, Dylan, Michelle, and Mitchell join him for the song.

Jack opens Yes/No with a performance of I Can’t Make You Love Me when Trevor appears behind him and insults his choice of song, bringing up that Jack has lost his edge when it compared to how he used to be. Jack takes those words into consideration especially when Trevor brings up that Jack seems to have lost his way when going after the things he wants. “You used to be a total badass. Now, you’re just a loser. No wonder the big-nosed broad doesn’t notice you.” He leaves Jack alone to think about his rival’s statements.

He appears when Will announces that he plans to propose to Emma and he produces what he feels to be one of the best choices for a proposal, singing Younger Than Springtime. He spots Trevor out of the corner of his eye, who mocks him from afar and it throws him off for the first time since joining the glee club.

He confronts Trevor, who tells him that he is going to be over his shoulder until he brings back the old Jack Harmon. Jack warns him to be careful before Trevor exits.

Jack is on hand when the girls perform The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, remembering the first time he ever met Rachel. He leaves the room, calling up Millie, who reveals the man she is in love has finally made his move for her. The two part ways amicably, leaving Jack alone. He sees Trevor, who is smiling wickedly. Jack cracks a smile for the first time in months as he knows what he has to do.

Jack shows up at Breadstix where he finds Rachel, Finn and Kurt and invites himself to the pity party. He watches Rachel perform Without You and is visibly perturbed at Finn and Rachel’s connection.

After Will proposes to Emma, Jack and Trevor meet up in the music room where he tells him, “You were right, Rayburn. The Real Jack Harmon, the one that would do anything to win, has been hiding.” He cites his ruinous personal life before telling him, “He’s back, Ass-Monkey!” before he slugs Trevor in the gut and unleashes the Slushie Bomb on Trevor via remote control.

Jack decides to take the biggest chance of his life and tell Rachel the truth about his feelings but is stopped when he sees Finn propose to her, leaving him in stunned silence.

Michael  begins with Jack in a catatonic state as a result of seeing Finn’s proposal and his family trying to bring him out of it. Puck is able to pull him out before Jack lands a right hand into side of his head.

Back in full suit and tie, he returns to school and learns about New Directions’ plan to use Michael Jackson at Regionals. He joins them in the performance of Bad against the Warblers and tries to attack Sebastian after he slushees Blaine.

Sam goes to Jack, where it’s revealed that they stayed in contact after Sam left Lima, and asks him to help him get Mercedes back. Jack is, at first, unsure of how to help his friend to make a bold move after spotting Finn and Rachel together, pulling out a performance of The Way You Make Me Feel.

He is thrilled to discover that Kurt got into NYADA, only to have the situation turned on both of them when Rachel tells Kurt she didn’t get the letter...and neither has Jack.

He is there when Santana reveals her plan to get even with Sebastian, even impressed that she taped it to her under-boob, when Kurt stops the idea mid-stream, taking everyone to the auditorium. He stays behind when he realizes Rachel is gone. He watches the performance of I Just Can’t Stop Loving You and sees Rachel accept, much like the prior episode, wonders away from the scene. He pulls it together long enough to perform Black or White with the rest of the club.

He arrives at the Lima Bean where Santana and Jenn are getting coffee, completely unaware of their presence. He asks for a coffee with a straw, but the barista reveals that there are no more straws. Jack finally loses it, stripping naked and taking a seat in a nearby booth. He is rescued by Puck, thanks to an alert from Jenn and Santana, who wraps him up in the aprons of the baristas.

When he recovers from the breakdown, he discovers that he has received his NYADA letter. The episode ends with him opening the envelope.

The Spanish Teacher  opens with Jack dancing down the hallways of McKinley, singing. He reveals that to Kurt and then Rachel that he will be joining them in New York. The Successor Project, meanwhile, has put together a Spanish project, coinciding with the glee club, which Jack shoots down, ordering them to do something else.

He is at his usual post for slumber parties, in his basement by his phone, when Rachel reveals that Finn proposed to her. Jack nearly chokes on his snack, nearly spilling the beans to Puck in the process.

With few options left in his spiraling mental health, Jack goes to Dr. Latham (played by Michelle Federer) and she finally gets him to discuss the root of why he is in love with Rachel. This leads to his epiphany and he leaves the office.

He is on hand for Santana and Mr. Martinez’s performance of La Isla Bonita and Will’s performance of A Little Less Conversation and finds Will’s use of stereotypes to be amusing. After Santana gives her reasons for complaining about Will, he adds that he agrees.

The episode ends with Jack entering the auditorium, finding the Successors performing a Spanish number in direct violation of his orders. He commends them for their actions, learning that Malcolm was the one behind the insubordination, telling him he is now in front of the class before sitting down and ordering them to perform La Bamba, which they do to his delight.

Heart  begins with Jack grumbling over all of the happy couples, from Finn and Rachel to the members of the Successor Project, Malcolm and Avery. He is intrigued by the assignment, performing Angels as his choice as the greatest love song of all time.

Season Four
Jack does not make an appearance in The New Rachel, but Trevor mentions that he is supposedly enjoying his time at Cornell.

Jack does not appear in Britney 2.0, but he sends Rachel a series of texts as they compare notes over their contentious relationships with their teachers (Rachel with Cassandra July and Jack with Wilson Murrow).

Jack came roaring back onto the scene in Makeover, showing he was adapting to life at Cornell University with his performance of Live In Living Color where he introduces his roommate, Adam Wiley (played by Rory O'Malley), that he is singing at a club called the Roundabout, and has won over most of the faculty, with the exception of Wilson Murrow (played by Nathan Lane), his Basic Acting Professor. This is shown in class where Murrow tears into his reading of Fifth of July, leaving Jack more annoyed by this when he is approached by Tess Harper (played by Jennifer Damiano).

The two have coffee at the Roundabout where she reveals that Murrow's backstory (as the youngest NYADA graduate and two-time Tony nominee before he turned 21) as the second half of the biggest YouTube joke of 2002 along with his career burnout (in the 90s) because of his immense ego. Jack and Tess also perform Cruisin' as his way of thanking her.

During class, he reveals this when Murrow rips into his performance, causing the teacher to ask for him to meet him in his office. There, Murrow gives Jack a much-needed lecture and tells him, despite his talents as a singer and a dancer, he is a terrible actor and orders him not to come to class for a couple of days.

Jack decides it would be a good idea to visit Rachel and Kurt in New York and heads out for the weekend, but not before performing She during a class taught by Lindsay Murrow (played by Bethany Joy Lenz) as his means to tell Murrow that he can emote during a song.

He gets to New York during Rachel's date with Brody and sees Finn in the lobby, leading to a race between the two to get to the apartment first. Finn beats Jack to the room, getting to the door second and just in time to see Brody stand up. He looks at Finn and says, "Wow, this is awkward."

Jack begins The Break Up finally reunited with Kurt, Rachel, and, much to his annoyance, Finn, discussing his recent problems with Kurt and trying to keep his feelings to Rachel to himself. He tells his friends he may transfer out to NYADA if the feel of the school is right and he joins Rachel and Finn during their time at the school.

When Jack arrives at Callbacks, he is surprised to see Tess there. He watches Rachel and Brody perform Give Your Heart A Break, Tess watching him the entire time. During Blaine’s performance of Teenage Dream, Jack leaves the club, Tess not far behind questioning why he even came to New York if he knew there was no chance of getting Rachel. “I don’t know,” Jack would reply before walking off, performing Shattered (Turn the Car Around) at Callbacks before closing time.

He sends a text to Rachel to meet him at the HarmCo building in New York where once again, he finds Tess, who advices him to follow his own advice. He finally tells Rachel how he feels about her, letting out all of the feelings he had bundled up for nearly 3 years. When he learns that she is going to Lima to find Finn and asks for his help, Jack tells her, “I can’t do this anymore.” He later alters his cell phone number so no one can contact him again before heading back to Ithaca.

He is last seen performing with the others during The Scientist, where he walks into Murrow’s classroom and the older man asks, “What kept you?” to which Jack replies “My past” before the episode fades to black.

Jack makes his return in Glease on the night of the show’s debut, mailing the upperclassmen and Finn notes to go into the choir room, “and tell the cast not to wear their costumes”. When they arrive, they find a giant cake with a timer. They all discuss what this could mean, as well as the legend of Jack Harmon, as the timer ticks down to zero. This causes the lights to go out and Jack’s voice filling the room.

As the chorus of All Choked Up ends, the lights come up and the cake explodes, revealing that Jack was hiding inside and he continues to perform the song, joined by Brittany, much to the surprise of the upperclassmen and the horror of the underclassmen. He is reunited with his friends and even more surprised to see Rachel and Kurt at the show, taking the shadows as the two former couples exchange awkward greetings. He stays there during the show, watching the show and Rachel from a distance, singing along with Wade, Santana and Cassandra to There Are Worse Things I Could Do.

He returns to Ithaca and is reunited with Tess and his roommate, Adam Wiley (played by Rory O’Malley), declaring that baring a major medical emergency in the case of his father, he is never going back to Lima.

Dynamic Duets begins with Jack collapsing on his bed, slowly falling asleep after a hectic 24-hours. The episode than flashes back to 24-hours earlier to Jack revealing his plans for the upcoming 24 hour theatre project and is scouting out potential project partners and a faculty advisor. His grand plan (via Bouncing Off the Walls) is using the current trend of superhero movies to create an apologist tribute to Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark as he believes theatre purists only lash out because of the source material and comic book fans lash out at the theatre because they fear it would emasculate the heroes.

In present, he assembles what he thinks are some of the best students at Cornell, Carol Graves (played by Bailey Hanks), Frank Kramer (played by Josh Rhett Noble), Spencer Harrison (played by Brendon Stimson), and Mae Horton (played by Danielle Savre) with Tess and Adam rounding out his cast.

He is able to rope Lindsay into being the faculty advisor with a passionate performance of Our Little Secret which leads them to almost kiss. With his team assembled, he begins to put the show together.

The show, however, has it’s share of trouble as Frank and Carol were in a relationship only a year earlier and are still mad at one another while Spencer and Adam are battling back and forth for the role of Hero. Jack (under the guise of Mastermind) forces them to go out on a scavenger hunt for props to teach them how to work together for the benefit of the show (Rise Above).

He is able to bring the group together (If The World Should End) and the show comes in second, taking the episode to Jack following asleep, content with his victory...until his phone rings and he is forced to go back to doing his own “hero” thing.

Jack appears in Thanksgiving when he visits Jenn after learning that Dylan and Alex have both headed back to Lima for the holiday to help the glee club for Sectionals. Jack anticipates that she is planning something and the two discuss why she isn’t going back to help them out. She tells him that she doesn’t want to see Santana, knowing he’s cut his ties with Rachel and Kurt. He tells her that he’s not going to Sectionals no matter how much she begs.

One Gilligan cut later, and Jack is back in McKinley, watching the performances with Jenn, who is clearly depressed about Santana. After the performances by the Warblers and the Mennonites, he visits the club backstage and gives them a “Jack Harmon pep talk for the ages”, which are these wise words, “Blow it and I don’t know any of you.” Before leaving, he sees Trevor trying to talk to Marley and is surprised that when he notices a moment between the two that reminds him of a couple of people he use to know.

He goes back to his seats and watches New Directions’ performance and he jumps to his feet when Marley collapses on the stage.

Jack appears for the first time in Swan Song in class with Prof. Murrow, doing a dramatic reading, which is criticized by Murrow. Jack counters back, by telling him that he has gotten better, only for Murrow to tell him his second place win at the 24-hour project was just a fluke. Jack counters by telling him that he’s just afraid that he’s getting better and is even better than him.

Murrow counters by challenging to him to a Confrontation, which Jack and Murrow take on the roles of Valjean and Javert respectively. The song ends with Murrow telling him that he’ll fall when the Winter Showcase takes place. Jack tells him that he’ll be eating his words when this was all over.

Later, he talks to Lindsay about the Winter Showcase, which she tells him that his chances are pretty slim as Murrow is one of the main judges. Jack tells her that he’s got a trick or two up his sleeve before broaching the subject of them nearly kissing, which she writes off. Jack, however, forces the issue and she tells him that they couldn’t do anything about any possible attraction as they’re still teacher and student only to be silenced by Jack kissing her. Lindsay, who returns the kiss, orders him to leave and he does so, unaware that someone has snapped a picture of the two.

He next appears at the Winter Showcase, dedicating his performance to the students who are have seen the darker side but still retain their belief in a better day. He sings The Best Seat in the House and gets a standing ovation from everyone even Murrow, who finally tells him that he’s finally figured out what he was trying to teach him. He ends the showcase with an encore performance of Believe, which he calls his favorite Christmas song.

As the episode ends for Jack, he gets a call from Lindsay, who tells him that someone saw them kiss and he is shown the picture.

In Glee, Actually, Jack is holed up in a motel, busy trying to figure out who took the picture of him and Lindsay when he receives a knock at the door. He answers it and he sees his uncle Robert (played by Jason Alexander) standing at the door. The older man knew that Jack’s intention of staying away from Lima and decided to bring a Harmon Christmas to him. He steps back and is accosted by his cousin, Diane, her brother and sister, Taylor (played by Matt Nolan) and Vanessa (played by Daniella Monet), and his aunt, Kristin (played by Lucie Arnaz). He joins them and the rest of the family and is briefly pulled out of his doldrums with a performance of Keep Christmas With You with the family. He ends up telling Diane that he feels guilty about not spending Christmas with his dad and for not singing for the kids at the Lima General Pediatrics Ward.

Diane manages to get a skype linked up with Jack and the kids, allowing for Jack to sing Grown-Up Christmas List with the kids. The following morning, Jack is surprised to find his father there Christmas morning, confessing that Lisa insisted he visit him.

He and his father and uncle discuss his problem with the picture and Robert suggests he do what he always does, force the issue to any of the possible blackmailers and find evidence to take them down. Jack shares his doubts that he may not have it in him anymore as he can’t even figure it out who took the picture and that he’s been off his game since October. Kristopher asks him if he’s talked to Kurt or Rachel since his last New York visit.

Jack admits he hasn’t and Kristopher reminds him that he was always at his best when he had backup and he wasn’t alone, pushing him to call them. Jack says he’ll think about it before he leaves for the evening to continue his investigation.

He calls Lindsay at the dance studio, apologizing to her for his behavior, telling her that he wouldn’t have done so if he had his head together. She accepts his apology and offers to pool their resources to find their mutual enemy, which Jack says no to, citing they’re both skating on thin ice and he works better on his own.

He texts Rachel, telling her she doesn’t have to answer back, but he wanted to wish her a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukah before turning on Meet Me in St. Louis and singing along with Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. His phone goes off, checking the ID and answers it, saying, “Hey, Rachel.”

Jack opens Sadie Hawkins back in full swing at Cornell (complete with a performance of Somebody’s Watching Me), revealing that he and Adam have been booted out of the dorms because of their investigation into who was stalking Jack, which has escalated since Christmas, turned their floor into a bubble factory. The two are living off-campus as Jack reveals that he thinks that a woman is stalking him based on the stalker’s behavior.

Meanwhile, Tess reveals to Adam that she has a crush on Jack but does not want to act on it because he is still hung up on Rachel. Adam suggests that she take a chance by going the Sadie Hawkins route and ask him out. She is reticent, but decides to take a chance only to have Jack usurp it by his current obsession with his stalker.

Later on, Jack learns that he’s stuck with Wilson as his new academic advisor, who notices something amiss with the normally petulant Jack doesn’t make a sarcastic remark. Jack tells the older man about his issue with the stalker. Wilson proceeds to tell him about a stalker from his past, admitting that he took the initiative to learn their identity. Though, he did make the mistake of marrying the crazy broad that ended in divorce before dating a woman that ruined his comeback.

Jack decides it’s time to actually take Wilson’s advice, telling Tess that he’s going to New York and get a couple of friends to help him flush out his stalker. Jack arrives at the apartment of Dylan, Jenn and Alex, telling them he has cashing in on the favors they owe him. As the episode ends, a gloved hand is seen holding a cell phone, a picture on the phone of Jack entering the apartment building.

Jack spends much of Naked in New York, trying to flush his stalker with the help of Jenn. He first appears in the episode completely nude, much to Alex’s consternation, and reveals that he believes his stalker to be a woman that is in love with him. He then reveals his plan to get her out of hiding: He needs a fake girlfriend and that fake girlfriend is Jenn.

The rest of the storyline centers around the two spending the day in New York, acting like a loving couple (all the while arguing as they always have), which includes a stop at Callbacks for a performance of Islands in the Stream, in an attempt to make Jack’s stalker jealous. The plan does not work, but Jack is not deterred. Jenn, while thinking his goal is crazy and somewhat dangerous, begins to realize that Jack is throwing himself into this project as a means to get his mind off of his somewhat boring life at Cornell.

He confesses that he has reapplied for NYADA for the summer term and hopes to get in this time around. Jenn says she would like that before Jack hugs her, thinking his stalker was heading right for them. The two fail in their mission, but decide to continue their faux-mance for as long as it takes to get the stalker’s identity.

Diva opens with Jack’s annoyed voiceover at the sight of a new student at Cornell named Calvin “Cal” Colby (played by Hunter Parrish), who’s sycophantic behavior (and penchant for showing up Jack) has ingratiated himself to Prof. Wilson and seems to have won over Adam and Tess. Jack decides to confront Cal at the Roundabout, leading to a faceoff performance of We Built This City/We’re Not Gonna Take It, which almost leads to a physical altercation, only to have Tess separate them.

A flashback reveals that Tess accepted a date with Cal after Jack left for New York. This makes Jack even angrier as “she was my friend first”. He follows Cal for the rest of the day, hoping to find information and stumbles on a plot set up by Cal’s mother, Elena Colby, an old enemy of his father, to try and crush the Harmon family. Cal’s behavior is as callous as Jack’s in season one and possibly worse.

Jack waits until Cal and Tess’s date at the country club outside of Ithaca. The two end up getting into a fist fight in the locker room, which Jack wins, telling Cal that “if he ever wants a rematch, you know where to find me.” This rematch takes place when Cal challenges Jack to a sing-off with Tess, Adam and Wilson as the judges.

The two faced off with their favorite songs, Big Shot, ending with them standing face-to-face, neither backing down, asking for the thoughts of the judges.

In I Do, Jack arrives at the Three Musketeers’ apartment, demanding that Jenn accompany him to Will-Emma wedding, arriving in Lima and they run into Puck outside of the Lima Bean where they discuss the upcoming wedding. Puck asks what the two are doing together and they reveal they’re “dating” via a series of cue cards. Puck figures out Jack’s plan about catching his stalker, which Jack admits would be easier to do in Lima if the stalker followed.

At McKinley, Jack runs into Rachel for the first time since October and Jack asks her to sing with him at the reception to show that there is nothing going on between them, even performing We Both Know and defeating his argument in the process Jenn appears on the scene and she reveals that she and Jack are dating, making the situation even more awkward.

The duo show up at the wedding, enjoying the scene before noticing Santana, who seems confused and jealous of Jack and Jenn’s closeness. Jack watches Sue walk down the aisle to a “what the hell is going on here?” before learning that Emma has fled.

Jack and Jenn dance during the faux-reception before Jack sees Rachel and Finn have their talk and finally realizes that he may have lost her for good. Jack goes off to the bar and finds a bottle of whiskey left behind by his former bodyguard, Henderson.

He sees Jenn and Santana arguing and decides to follow the redhead during We’ve Got Tonite. The two end up getting drunk and nearly sleep together. Jack suggests they just spend the night together and not finish going to the reception.

The next morning, Jack decides to take advantage of the open stage and invites Jenn to sing with him. He decides on a song that would say everything he couldn’t and the two sing The Only Promise That Remains, not realizing that Rachel and Santana are watching them.

Jenn tells him that she enjoyed their date even if they almost slept together. Jack tells her that they should spend more time together, kissing her on the cheek before they return to their apartments.

The episode ends with Jack returning to Ithaca to find Adam tied up in their apartment and looks up to see his stalker standing in front of him.

Girls (and Boys) on Film begins with the revelation that Mae Horton (from Dynamic Duets) is, in fact, Jack’s stalker. She manages to knock him out and tie him up. This leads to the second big reveal of the night, she is really Heather Colby, the daughter of Elena and sister of Cal.

It is shown in a flashback that, after the events of The Break Up, Jack was able to get into a karaoke bar where he got drunk and went on the stage with a blonde woman where they performed In The Shadows of Paris. The two spend a night together and Jack leaves the next morning without a word.

After she tells her story, Jack reveals he used this as an opportunity to escape and a fight breaks out and it destroys the living room of the apartment. This goes on until the cops finally show up and arrest all three of them. Jack and Adam are bailed out by Tess while Jack tells the police that he has a recording of Heather confessing to stalking him.

However, Jack’s victory is short-lived when Elena and Cal show up with their lawyer, Chris Benton (played by Barry Williams) and guarantee that they will get Heather off. Jack, meanwhile, sends his father the recording and his father promises that he will handle the Colbys and what he plots will be his masterpiece.

Jack spends the next half of the episode in a state of paranoia, trying his best not let what happened make him crazier than he already feels. This is when Jenn swoops into Ithaca and offers to spend the night at his apartment as a thank you for the wedding. Jenn ends up singing Safe and Sound to him before he falls asleep. However, Jack ends up waking up and realizes that he may be falling back into his old patterns from a year earlier.

He chooses to call Dr. Latham and meets her mentor, Dr. Derek Griffin (played by Kelsey Grammer). He and Dr. Griffin have their first session and Jack emerges from the session performing I’m Still Here. The episode ends with him standing on the rooftop of his apartment building with a smile on his face.

Feud begins with Jack and Jenn in New York, going to meet up with his cousin, Bianca Webster, hoping to use her husband, Stan’s, connection to the Mexican business cartel to Elena Colby’s husband, Carlisle. However, he knows Stan’s lunch time is longer than the average weight of an elephant, so he plotted to blackmail Bianca by using her flirty behavior from Kristopher’s wedding as a means to do so.

Bianca attempts to seduce Jenn, but passes out before anything happens. With Bianca distracted, Jack is able to get into the kitchen where he learns that Carlisle has been thrown out of the cartel for some illegal business practices, but Stan doesn’t specify what the practices were.

Meanwhile, Jack sent a surrogate named Larry Middleman (played by Bob Einstein) to make contact with Santana, who had called him to find information on Brody, which Jack has been unable to dig up, but he theorizes that Brody doesn’t have it in him to “break bad”, but there is something to the pager. Unfortunately, Larry still has that problem with repeating everything a person he works for says. This leads to an argument with Santana over whether or not she’s overreacting.

Jack and Jenn, much like Santana, sneak into NYADA and see the performance of Cold-Hearted, which Jack is quick to pull Jenn out of her daze. He and Santana discuss the Brody issue before Jack takes a closer look at Brody, trying to remember if he has seen him somewhere besides their more recent interactions.

Jack leaves building when he gets a call for his father, who was unable to find Carlisle, but has found some interesting information about Colby Enterprises’ current status and their employees in Mexico. Jack seems thrilled by what it is his father knows and the two disconnect from the call.

He plans to go back to Ithaca before he gets a phone call from Santana, who tells him she has a plan to catch Brody red-handed. She convinces him and Finn to discuss their problems later to confront Brody. Jack stays behind after the fight between Finn and Brody, telling him, “Now that that’s out of the way, we have to talk.”

Guilty Pleasures begins with Jack leaving Brody alone in the hotel room, having gotten the information that he wanted from him. It’s during a conversation with Jenn that his greatest guilty pleasures are revealed (it’s a long list, but includes an obsessive love of Italian shoes, following Barry Manilow on YouTube, watching late-night televangelists, star-map stalking celebs whenever he’s in New York, etc.) but the one he hides the most is his love of Richard Marx. After he hangs up with Jenn, Jack heads to a club in New York where he watches Richard Marx perform his song.

While watching the show, he projects himself onto the stage and performs Should've Known Better to an unreceptive cavalcade of his past love interests (Felicia, Millie, Lindsay and Rachel) before finally returning to the Three Musketeers apartment where he is called out on his guilty pleasure and is able to finagle their guilty pleasures out of Dylan, Jenn and Alex, getting a good laugh out from all of them.

He then reveals that he has learned that Carlisle Colby has fathered numerous illegitimate children including Brody. He returns to Ithaca and reveals this information to a stunned Elena and Cal, knowing that it could ruin the political aspirations of the former and humiliate the latter. Jack wants them to back off of him and his father and he will reveal this if they go near him or interfere in Heather’s court proceedings.

This sets off a ripple effect that causes Kristopher to disappear while crossing the border back into the US. At the same time, Jack receives his NYADA letter to perform at a gala in three weeks time. He is interrupted by Adam before he has a chance to call Kristopher. He exits the apartment unaware that he has received an email from his father. When Jack and Adam are gone, a figure steps out of the shadows and steals the email from his computer, leaving the mystery of what happened to Kristopher up in the air.

In Shooting Star, Jack had planned to attend the Julliard Spring Showcase, but this was preempted by a text from Trevor that there were shots fired at McKinley. Jack ordered Dylan to go to the showcase and win. He would stay outside and keep them posted. He spends the rest of the episode making sure everyone is okay all the while keeping the New York crew updated. He receives a text from Trevor at the end of the episode and the two begin to plot how to clear Sue.

Jack appears in Sweet Dreams at the loft, revealing that he has an audition for NYADA and he has a plan to ace the audition. He, however, notices that Rachel and Kurt seemed to be ignoring him, so he tries out his performance of Go the Distance for Santana, Dylan, Alex and Jenn. They, however, shoot down his plan by telling him that it just doesn’t work and, if he wants into NYADA, he has to play to his true strengths.

He begins to study Carmen even more intently than he had the year before and learns her guilty pleasure. He picks out his song for the audition and manages to rope Tess, Jenn and Santana to assist him. However, Kurt and Rachel shoot him down when he asks them. Santana finally reveals that the two are still mad at him for, in essence, walking away from their friendship in October, as well as creating more tension at the Will/Emma near-wedding.

He ends up talking to a blonde, who tells him that he needs to really get his act together where it comes to his friends. He turns to see that it’s April, leaving him flabbergasted as she walks away. He tries to ignore her advice, but he eventually gives in.

The night before his audition, he texts Rachel and Kurt to meet him on the roof of their apartment building. Despite their better judgment, they show up and are stunned to see Jack with a piano, performing Whistle Down the Wind. Kurt and Rachel join in and, after the song, Jack apologizes for his behavior in the last couple of months and wants to be a better friend. The two forgive him, much to his surprise, and Jack tells them what he has up his sleeve for the audition.

He meets with Carmen the next day and he reveals that he knows the one thing Carmen would never expect from anyone: Her favorite artist, Meat Loaf. He then proceeds to dazzle with a performance of I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That).

Jack is seen at the loft with Rachel and Kurt, as he and Rachel wait for their calls. He celebrates with his friends when Rachel gets her callback, but he is left until he gets a call during the ending montage of Outcast. He turns to Rachel and Kurt and tells them they’re going to be seeing more of him.

Lights Out begins with Jack explaining what he is doing in New York so soon. This leads to flashbacks of him getting his final exams at Cornell, saying goodbye to Adam and Tess, introducing them to Cornell’s newest version of himself (played by Cary Tedder), and his moving into an apartment in a building his father had purchased in case he ever got into NYADA as a way to keep him from getting into too much trouble.

In the present, Jack is invited by Kurt to volunteer at ballet gala and he accepts, knowing that he has a chance to hobnob with celebrity elite, spend some time with his friends, and possibly make some connections. He also reveals he was also took ballet as a child, but does not sing At The Ballet, instead talking to Santana about her lack of drive, telling her about the last couple of months and encourages her to do something about her rut, singing Rewrite This Story with her.

By the end of the episode, he gets a call from Santana following her first dance class. After she tells he (along with Rachel, Kurt and Isabella) were right, to which he replies, “Do you know how much time you would save if you just take that as a given” before telling her he’s happy she’s found something.

In Wonder-ful, Jack reveals that he won't be starting at NYADA until the beginning of the next academic year, which means that he has time to get ready for the possible backlash from the NYADA upperclassmen, but this is turned upside down when he gets a knock at the door. When he answers it, he is surprised to meet Olivia Jefferson (played by Patina Miller), Lionel's twin sister and Jack's maternal half-sister.

It is revealed that, despite their brief reunion in Sweet Dreams, he has rejected April at every turn. Olivia confronts her brother with a forceful performance of So What The Fuss, but he remains strident in not wanting to talk to April. He tells Olivia that she and April should've stayed out of his life.

He is later seen helping Rachel for her dance mid-term, complaining about the various family members that come out of the woodwork because he had to upset the status quo and find his mother. Rachel vents to him about Cassandra's attempts to break her. The two share a moment when Jack comes up with a sheer-fire cheer up method, singing Another Star with her.

He is also on hand when Cassandra performs Uptight (Everything's Alright), dancing with Rachel. Afterwards, Rachel tells him that he should, at least, talk to April and let her explain why she's finally trying to reach out to him. He doesn't make any promises, but he decides to head out to the theatre where CrossRhodes is being showed. He watches her perform Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) and is about to leave when April surprises him by turning around, forcing him to stay and talk.

He returns to his apartment during For Once in My Life, setting a picture onto his piano and walking into his room. The last images of the episode show several pictures in his apartment: Him with his father and his family at the Puckerman-Harmon wedding, him with Rachel and Kurt and it focuses on his newest one: Him and April in the theatre.

Jack opens All or Nothing in bed next to Rachel, explaining that he spent the night as Kurt is still in New York and he wanted to spend more time with her before she goes to her callback. He gets a call from his father that sends him back to Ithaca.

He arrives at the courthouse as Heather is being sentenced to five years in prison and delivers a victim’s impact statement before his father and Henderson arrive at the courthouse with evidence that the entire Colby family was involved in an elaborate conspiracy to harm the Harmon family, including Kristopher’s kidnapping in Mexico and the equally serious crime of using child laborers in their factories in the United States and Mexico.

As the judge attempts to clear the courtroom, the Federales burst in along with members of the Justice Department, who arrest Carlisle and Elena. Jack smirks at Heather as he, Kristopher and Henderson make their exit from the courthouse and head to the Roundabout, where Jack performs Dancing in the Dark.

He talks to his father about the kidnapping when Kristopher deduces that someone would have to steal the email as it was supposed to be sent to him if something went south. Jack goes to see Heather, who tells him that he’s got one last loose end to tie up, and his answers are in Lima. Jack decides to head to Lima in order to settle the situation.

He arrives in time for Regionals, where he waits in the wings during the performances of Clarity and Wings having made contact with Heather’s accomplice using her cell phone. The two agree to meet at McKinley and Jack prepares for the final showdown. While waiting, he heads to the choir room and watches Brittany give her speech, coming to the conclusion that he needs to end the feud with the Colby family once and for all as the glee club get ready to take the stage.

He watches the performance of New Directions, smiling happily as they take home the trophy. Jack is at the impromptu wedding of Mr. Schue and Miss Pillsbury when he gets the text from Heather's accomplice and has to leave. He ends up chasing the final piece of the puzzle down and tackles the accomplice to the ground, turning him over and learning the identity of Heather’s partner. He can only say, “I did not see this coming" as the episode ends. Season Five=

Season Five
Season Five begins with Jack spending a day in New York, his hand resting on a cane. It was revealed through a series of flashbacks that he had learned the identity of Heather's accomplice (his former glee teammate, Matt Rutherford, revealed to be another one of Carlisle's children) and was able to get him arrested following some legal wrangling but, in the process, was injured.

With the Colby family finally out of his life, Jack begins to finally enjoy New York City and his repaired relationship with Rachel. He escorts her to her chemistry audition, work and sings Any Time at All during this montage of their friendship returning to its' original closeness, though he clearly still has feelings for her. He applauds hers and Santana's performance of A Hard Day's Night and follows after them when they take off.

He joins Rachel and Santana in Lima for Blaine's proposal, despite giving his opinion that they were all against Finn and Rachel getting married so young but is silenced when All You Need is Love begins. He is actually moved by Blaine's proposal and turns to Santana for a handkerchief before stating he wants to be Kurt's maid of honor or best man or "whatever the hell gay weddings have."

Jack makes his first appearance in Tina in the Sky With Diamonds making a surprise appearance in New Haven to visit Quinn, who has been cast in Yale's production of Across the Universe with a former Broadway director Peter McCord (played by Alec Baldwin) at the helm. After the director and cast leave, Quinn stays behind to rehearse her performance of It Won't Be Long, only for Jack to join in, much to her surprise.

He and Quinn spend the day together, discussing everything that has happened since the wedding. However, Quinn is convinced that Jack is only there to make Rachel jealous as he continues to reply to her texts but Jack insists that he is just there to visit his friend and that he and Rachel were done...if they ever were started, at all...and he just wanted to move on and be her friend again.

Jack sticks around for the rehearsals of Across the Universe, speaking up when he feels that McCord has gone a step too far in his criticisms of Quinn. The two throw down with a wild performance of Helter Skelter, leaving the cast (especially Quinn) floored.

As Jack prepares to leave for New York, he tells Quinn he had a surprisingly good time and wants to see her again. Before she can say anything, Jack kisses her and slips back into his car and drives away. He returns to New York just in time to see Santana and Dani kiss for the first time. He is stunned by this but decides to hold off on confronting her until he sees how far the whole situation has gone.

He is in the Spotlight Dinger when he learns about Rachel got the part of Fanny Brice and also sends a text to Quinn about Rachel's news during  the performance of Let It Be.

The Quarterback opens with Jack heading back to Lima, clutching a piece of paper in his hands, confessing that he's trying his best to keep it together for the sake of Rachel and Kurt, but he hasn't been able to get through to Rachel despite his best efforts. He does what he can to keep an eye on Puck, knowing that it may have hit him harder than anyone (save for Kurt and Rachel) before he returns home to visit his father and Lisa. While at home, he sees his first guitar and tells his father about how he taught Finn how to play the guitar their junior year before he begins to play Wonderwall before he breaks down in his father's arms.

After he revisits the locker and places the paper at the memorial, he tries to call Rachel, but gets no reply. He and Coach Beistie confront Puck about his actions since the funeral. He decides to tell the club that he plans on singing The Sound of Silence but is unable to sing before a grief-stricken Mitchell joins in with him. Before long, the entire club joins with them. When they're alone, Jack tells Puck that, in spite of everything, he never hated Finn and loved him in a strange way before telling him that Puck still has one more quarterback in his life. When Puck asks him about the note Jack had the whole time, Jack is silent, telling him that it was everything he wanted to say after he learned Finn died. The scene shifts to before the funeral a month earlier where Jack rails at Finn for dying and leaving him to compete with a memory, for hurting Rachel and Kurt, and all of their friends but ends it by telling Finn that he would always watch over Rachel and Kurt and finally forgives him and asks him to forgive him in return.

In the present, he watches Puck's performance of No Surrender and defends him when Santana accuses him of stealing the jacket. He also writes a brand new letter for Finn, one where he tells him that he and his father are planning to start a scholarship in his name and that Jack, himself, is going to make sure his story is told as a way to say 'thank you' for staying in the glee club, keeping it together and giving him something to remember from high school besides the pranks.

In A Katy or a Gaga, Jack appears at the Spotlight Diner and, while he declines to join the band in lieu of helping Rachel prepare for Funny Girl, he offers to help Kurt with the auditions. After his list of band names including "The Manhole Inspectors" is rejected, he is surprised by Starchild's (wondering aloud if Lady Gaga raped the corpse of Charlie Chaplin) performance of Marry the Night.

He finds Starchild and tells him where Kurt works before he is called by Jenn, who confronts him about his helping Kurt, Santana and Dani with their band. He counters her arguments about how Dani stole Santana from her with the fact that he's helping Kurt, who's been his friend longer than she has. He also says that Kurt asked Santana and Dani to join his band, so he didn't have much of a choice. In the course of the argument, Jenn admits that she's jealous that Jack is spending more time with Rachel and Kurt and, by extension, Santana and Dani as she missing having her one friend that understands her love of Disney Channel shows. Jack offers to rearrange his schedule to spend more time with her.

He is later seen at the loft, helping them come up with names (and song titles), getting shot down repeatedly as his ideas get more offensive. He ends the episode, joining in with Rachel, Starchild, Dani, Santana and Kurt for their section of Roar.

Jack opens The End of Twerk by breaking into the loft, revealing that he has found something that could very well start his career: A workshop for the Barry Manilow scored musical, 15 Minutes. Unfortunately, he decides to make his appearance far too early for even Rachel to tolerate. He shows up at Dylan, Alex and Jenn's apartment and gives them the good news, only to be turned out by that group as well.

He is soon followed to the workshop by Jenn, who apologizes to him for her behavior and offers to help him prepare for the audition for the workshop. They arrive where they are met by Rafe Baxter (played by Benjamin Walker), a person who has Jack's encyclopedic knowledge of Barry Manilow. The two circle each other, testing each other's knowledge before they are asked to perform for the book writer and a representative of Barry Manilow. The two decide on the same song: I Made It Through the Rain and the book writer, Marisa Dillard (played by Catherine Brunell), is impressed by their performances.

Later on, Jack and Jenn decide that a little anarchy is in order to enjoy their day out in New York, which leads to them causing a mini-riot after they destroy a flash mob's stereo and are last seen racing away from them during On Our Way.

Jack opens Movin' Out singing I Go to Extremes at Callbacks to a standing ovation. He admits that he's still waiting for a call from Marisa. He is, meanwhile, filling his free time as the Human Resources Director at HarmCo's New York office. He admits that this was easily the most monotonous experience of his life, unsure of how his father is capable of doing the same thing every day.

He decides to break the monotony by making a surprise appearance at McKinley. Having learned of Trevor and Eva's troubles where Evan and Scarlett Moreno (played by Matthew Atkinson and Lucy Hale) are concerned. They exchanged their usual pleasantries before Jack reveals that he knows about the problems Trevor and Eva have been having and he is there to help. Trevor is surprised by the appearance of his sister, Natalia (played by Taylor Swift), who joins Jack and Harrison for a performance of Tell Her About It. Trevor orders them out before he's left with his thoughts.

He sticks around for Trevor's performance of Shameless and returns to New York with a feeling of accomplishment when he finds his phone ringing. He answers it and smirks, a sure sign that his boredom has been lifted at last.

Jack appears briefly in Puppet Master when Kurt announces that Pamela Lansbury will have their first gig at Comebacks. He gives his unwanted opinion before leaving the room, complaining that he feels underutilized.

He appears again before the end of the episode when he gets a call from Kurt and Rachel, telling him about the band's next performance. The band offers Jack a chance to open for them at their next gig, hence giving him a brand new purpose.

Jack makes his first appearance in Previously Unaired Christmas to get his mind off of his stalker (singing Little Saint Nick) and to see Santa. He is surprised to see Rachel, Kurt and Santana's performance and its aftermath. He appears behind the set and tells them "I haven't seen that much stuff thrown at elves since opening night of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Wizard of Oz."

Despite the awkward moments, they are all happy to be reunited and he offers to stick around for Christmas after watching Santa's outbursts. He steals an elf costume and tries his best to help out, only to cause more chaos and punch Santa. This causes him to have a child-like moment of regret as he feels he's disappointed the real Santa, only to have Rachel talk him down.

He is next seen at the loft Christmas party, drinking too much egg nog and flirting with Rachel, who is surprisingly receptive to his behavior. He laughs at Kurt's attempted hook up with Cody and at the performance The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late), noticing how badly everyone is getting high from the helium.

The next morning, he sees the aftermath and is torn between telling them he told them so, laughing or kicking Cody's ass. Before the end of the episode, he tells Rachel that he's heading out after Christmas but he'll talk to her as he's missed their closeness. The two share a brief kiss under the mistletoe before she leaves with Santana and Kurt for their newest gig.

He is last seen in the loft during Away in a Manger, placing three cards and presents on the couch before vanishing into the night.

Frenemies begins with Jack confessing in a voiceover that he doesn’t trust Ty and will do whatever it takes to expose his theory. This leads to him following Ty through a montage of Heat of the Moment.

Unfortunately, Jack is caught by Ty and that leads to a confrontation between the two as the latter feels betrayed by a guy that Jenn said was okay while Jack rationalizes it by saying that he has every right to protect his friends. Ty argues that Jack should learn to trust the people he calls friend as they can take care of themselves. After he leaves, Jack decides that the game is far from over.

This leads to a series of pranks between the duo that leads to another, more public confrontation that Alex witnesses. He confronts Jack afterward and tells him to back off and that Jenn can take care of herself.

Jack makes an appearance at the loft to confront Santana on auditioning for the understudy and gets pulled into the argument between Santana and Rachel. During this time, Ty arrives and tells Jenn what Jack has been up to, causing Jack and Jenn to start arguing over her relationship with Ty, revealing it to Santana, who is shocked that her ex is seeing someone so soon.

Jack turns his venom back on Santana and is stunned when Jenn punches him in the face. He turns to Rachel and suggests that they leave before things get uglier. The two walk off and are seem to part during Breakaway arriving as Jack stops off at a bar. He enters the building, smashes a pool stick and challenges the first guy with the “scrots to fight” as the episode ends.

Jack makes his first appearance in Trio after Rachel and Elliot perform Barracuda and is quick to wave off Rachel’s concerns about his bruises. He now seems intent on getting even with Jenn for punching him. He arrives at the apartment and hides when he sees Ty leave before he goes to talk to Jenn, who is less than thrilled to see him. He tries to talk to him but she rebuffs with a performance of Leave.

He shows up at One Three Hill’s first performance and sees Jenn there. The two stay for the performance of The Happening and they seem to have a moment before Jack walks away.

She shows up at the HarmCo building later on and the two discuss why he’s been acting the way he’s been acting. He confesses that he feels that the last year has been one disaster after another and he needed to take control of something before he finally goes crazy. Jenn tells him that she understands but he needs to find something else to control. Jack asks her what could give him control again. Jenn hands him a button and tells him to push it, which he does and that leads to everyone outside of his office to be coated in paint. Jack turns and says, “I love you sometimes” to which Jenn tells him “apology accepted.” Jack pushes Jenn out of the office before dropping paint on her again.

The ending montage to Hold On features Jack running from Jenn, their friendship repaired and balance restored to Jack’s personality.

Jack does not make an appearance until the end of City of Angels when Kurt tells him that the glee club has been disbanded. He stands up and smiles wickedly before saying, "It is ON!"

In 100, Jack practically tips Trevor out of his chair next to Rachel and reveals in a voiceover that he's calling in the big guns to try and save the glee club. He is left visibly ill by April's recounting of her escapades and joins in with the performance of Raise Your Glass. He gets Puck, Trevor, Daniel, and his cousins, Davis and Jude, (played by Preston K. Sadlier) for Operation: Stereo, his master plan to drive Sue so crazy that she will reinstate the glee club.

He is also less then impressed with Biff, telling her that he's an even bigger ass than he was in high school, and that she already has a handsome, rich man in her sights. She tells Jack that what happened between them a few months ago was a one-time thing.

Later in the evening, he brings his Stereo operatives in for his reinvention of I'm Alive and, in a performance that is intercut between the choir room and Sue's house, they perform the number, possibly driving Sue up a wall. He waits for a couple of moments before returning for the reprise.

He is angry at April when her fraud is revealed and states that he's made "yet another mistake" in trusting her. . He is even angrier when he realizes that Sue has caught on to his plan after she tricks Davis into revealing it. Sue warns him to back off or she will press charges, which could ruin the futures of his compatriots. He admits to Rachel that he actually lost to Sue and once and for all. He walks into the green room and performs a piano only version of No More Sad Songs, which Rachel compliments, reminding him of how their friendship began and how it grew because of the glee club. The two share a moment before they notice the graduated and original New Directions members walking through the auditorium. He places his arm around Rachel as they listen to Will's speech before he starts crying. Jack is visibly affected by this speech and finally realizes that everything is coming to an end. Jack starts out New Directions, helping the others with the trophies and appears in Tina's dream. He watches Kurt and Mercedes performance of I Am Changing, later commenting on how they made it sound like a theme song for a LOGO sitcom. He seems to be making peace with the glee club's end and with April's most recent disappointment.

He seems offended by Holly's impression of Temple Grandin but still takes part in Party All the Time. He visits his father and reveals that 15 Minutes needs one more investor and he needs his father's contacts' list if he wants to get the show up and running. Kristopher gives him the list and leaves the room before Jack opens it to find a check for the exact amount and a note that says, “Dreams are something you take…though money does help. And think about how you rub this in the faces of the other cast members that got the show going.”

He and Rachel are rehearsing when Santana enters the scene and, despite his smartass commentary on the situation, he is genuinely happy that they have made up. He offers Santana a chance to be his accomplice once again, which she accepts. He is next scene enjoying the performance of Be Okay.

During the performance of Just Give Me a Reason, he takes Rachel’s hand as he watches his stepbrother and Quinn perform their first official duet and the last official glee song. He also stands up and surprises everyone by hugging Will for everything.

His contribution to the Will tribute video is telling Will’s future child that Will saw past all of the bluster and swagger and found the genuine performer and man that most teachers didn’t believe was there: “He’s like the Wizard to my Elphaba…without the disappointment of learning he’s a lying powerless tool. If you don’t know anything about Wicked, I will fly back to Lima and shave his head.”

He joins Rachel and the others on stage for a performance of Don’t Stop Believin’, finally getting to shine in the opening lines and joins in on the group hug in the end. He leaves shortly after the graduation ceremony, texting Rachel he has some business to take care off before everyone gets back. He is last seen looking back into the choir room and taking the sight in one last time.

New New York begins with Jack singing with Rachel, Blaine, Sam, Artie and Kurt singing Downtown as he preps to debut of his brand new penthouse as well as finishing his out of town performances of 15 Minutes before the show transfers to Off-Broadway. Jack, however, is disappointed that he will only get to see her opening night and she won’t get to see his show at all. She insists that she will be there to see his dream come true since he’s going to do the same.

He arrives at the theatre where he meets his character’s songwriting partner, who is a brand new actress who was not in the out of town run. She is Kylie Weber (played by Brittany Underwood), an ingénue Marisa discovered in Ohio, and she is something Jack has never experienced in his lifetime: A genuinely naïve girl with a kind heart. He tests this during a performance of Work the Room where she shows a surprising trust in the other (and more jealous) actors and the crew.

He and Sam end up spending time together when he reveals that he’s worried about the show because the jealousy of the other actors could hurt the show and Kylie’s naivety could make things worse. Sam tells him that he should try to be confront the rest of the cast and crew. He tells Sam, “Honestly, Sam, you’re not as dumb as I tell people.”

He realizes that his plan may not work as well as he thought when he hears the rumors that the actors (including Rafe) are spreading about Kylie. He goes to Kylie, who is surprised by the cruelty of the actors. Jack tells her that he’s a master at revenge if she ever wants it. She declines but tells him that he could teach her how to spot when a person is being fake with her. He agrees to this and the two cement a partnership with a performance of Let Me Be Your Star, which the entire cast and crew see and are impressed but undeterred in their quest to get rid of Kylie and keep Jack from being the star.

He helps Mercedes move in and decides to follow Rachel to the theatre to watch her performance of People. He is joined by Kylie, who sees the way he looks at the girl and smirks as she tries to devise a way to help her new friend.

Jack begins Bash at the candlelight vigil before it cuts to his incredibly awkward dinner with his cousins, Bianca and Jared, and Bianca’s family, before he meets with his show’s director, Michael Armitage (played by Trevor St. John), and book writer, Marisa, so that he, like Rachel, can perform at the NYADA mid-winter critique. At the potluck, he is more concerned with the fact that Artie could feel Sam and Mercedes playing footsy than with the discussion about gay-bashing.

Later, he apologizes to Kylie for how badly the dinner went but thanks her for coming with him as Bianca is always trying to set him up with her pill-addled, alcoholic and egotistical friends. (“Which is fine, until they want sex. Again, not so bad until after. It’s the only time I ever feel guilty about stuff.”) The two discuss their daily lessons on how to spot a phony and how to counter them before he tells her that he’s working on his NYADA mid-winter critique and that cuts into his performance of Pretty Little Picture which gets Madame Tibideaux approves of.

He confronts Rachel about her quitting NYADA, stating that the entire school (particularly Tibideaux) will rack him over the coals because of their friendship. Rachel, in turn, tells him off about his sudden cowardice which leads to him to tell her off, much to both of their surprise. He turns and leaves without even apologizing.

He is in the theatre before he gets the call about Kurt and joins everyone at the hospital. He is visibly angry at what happened before leaving during Not While I’m Around and going back to his apartment to retrieve his guns and going to search for Kurt’s attackers and anyone else who gets in his way. He is confronted by Jared and Rachel, who both knew Jack is the one guy who can and will follow through on his threat to kill Kurt’s attackers. This leads to a vicious argument where Jack accuses Jared of “not having any balls” and Rachel of “being the real coward.” He stomps off and vanishes into the night.

Rachel finds him at a bar during Colour Blind and they discuss what’s been happening between them. The two of them realize that they have both lost a lot of time with one another since graduation and, with their first shows, they may have to really make sure they don’t lose their magic. Jack goes to the hospital where he tells Kurt that he is proud of him before telling to never scare him like that again. As he leaves, he sees Jared and the two of them reconcile.

At the potluck, he points out the confusing status of Sam and Mercedes’ relationship before he’s quickly sniped by Dylan’s quip about Jack and Rachel’s relationship, which causes them to quickly change the subject.

He is last seen applauding Kurt’s performance of I’m Still Here.

Jack first appears in Tested celebrating his clean record from his biweekly STD screening when the guys are discussing free clinics (naming all of the free clinics in the city) and makes the situation even worse when he hears that Artie has chlamydia by laughing uncontrollably at him.

At the gym, he and Sam discuss Sam and Mercedes’ non-physical relationship and Jack tells Sam and, in a surprisingly un-Jack gesture, tells him that when it’s right, they’ll know together. Later that night, he and Rachel are enjoying their weekly get-together and view the couples of Sam and Mercedes and Artie and Julie of singing.

He shows up at the end of Rachel and Mercedes’ conversation about relationships and the two share a look, which Mercedes notices.

In Opening Night, Jack appears in Rachel’s dream, unsure of how he ended up in yet another dream sequence, praying that it will go the way of Inception. He is stunned to find his father standing outside of his penthouse, telling him he’s there for 15 Minutes, which now shares the same opening night with Funny Girl.

Jack tells him that he’s not really worried but Kristopher reminds him of the last time he acted like nothing was wrong (rehashing his infamous Lima Bean meltdown) and Jack tells him that he’s more concerned about Rachel because he has read all of the negative reviews on himself and if she’s as much like him she’s going to be having a heart attack. Kristopher tells him that he’s going to be fine and they are going to be saying, “Barry who?” to which Jack argues “Never speak sacrilege in my presence ever again.”

He shares a moment with Rachel, both of whom mention Finn being there for both of them. Jack reminds her that, despite everything that happened between them, he wished Finn was there. Rachel thanks him before she gets ready to go on stage. He walks off to his theatre where he is stunned that April has arrived for opening night.

Jack and Rachel’s opening nights (the former’s the day after the latter’s) are shown as she performs I’m the Greatest Star juxtaposed with He’s A Star. Before she performs Who Are You Now? Jack and Kylie sing Train Wreck before he ends it with his powerhouse performance of Everything’s Going to Be All Right.

He surprises Rachel in the present, showing up at the club and joining her private opening night party. He returns with the rest of his friends and is visibly ill after he sees Mario and Sue, applauding Rachel’s verbal assault on Sue, and escorts them out of the loft.

He reads his reviews, which are glowing for and Kylie, but the reviews are frosty to the show. More importantly, he is stunned when he sees the op-ed by Barry Manilow himself, singing Jack’s praises of bringing his dream for the show to life. Jack looks at Rachel and shows her the op-ed and she embraces him as they celebrate their collective victory.

The Back-Up Plan begins with Jack’s voiceover at a luncheon for the fans of 15 Minutes where he is being fawned over and (probably) groped by a cavalcade of elderly Barry fans and seems somewhat irritated that more doors haven’t been opened up from the Village Voice review and the sold-out shows, showing him getting calls from his agent to Another Suitcase in Another Hall, his cast mates serving as the chorus.

He is stunned to see his cousin, Katie Harmon (played by Kristen Alderson), at the stage door and she tells him that she has looked in on his agent. Despite his insistence that his agent is doing the best she can, Katie tells him to come to an audition for a different agent. He tells her that he’ll think about it.

He makes his decision that same day when he finds his agent, Alma McAfferty (played by Courtney Cox), getting ready to flee the country for potentially defrauding clients, causing Jack to fire her. He calls up the number and sets a new audition with Katie’s agent.

He arrives at his audition and meets with Steven Summers (played by John Goodman), a notoriously hard to please agent, and he decides to pull a move out of Kurt’s playbook and perform a song traditionally sung by a woman. He tries out They Just Keep Moving the Line and Summers shoots him down by telling him that he understands why Alma stole from him and why he’s working in a bargain basement show Off-Broadway before making a dramatic exit.

Jack returns to the show where he runs into Marisa, who tells him that they’ve sold out again and have the potential to become the next Fantastiks. Jack is silent as the episode ends.

Old Dog New Tricks begins with Jack’s protégé, Ridley Mayhew, climbing the steps to his penthouse asking him why he needs to see her, but Jack is very vague about his reasons until she gets to the penthouse. When she gets there, she is surprised to find Jack standing over an unconscious English Mastiff.

He confesses that his audition with Summers and the resulting insults that followed made him so angry that he decided to get revenge on Summers by taking something important to him. So, he kidnapped Summers’ beloved dog, Lady, and now he was starting to have second thoughts on his actions.

They attempt to come up with a plan to return Lady to Summers’ house only to have Lady wake up begin chasing them around the room, trapping Ridley in the bathroom and Jack in his life-size Storm Trooper armor. This leads to an argument of how they are getting out of the situation as Jack’s tranquilizer gun is on his couch and their phones are in the kitchen.

Ridley finally suggests they could try singing to the dog, which Jack thinks is stupid, but soon changes his tune when Ridley begins to sing an acapela version of Oh, Pretty Woman and the dog starts to calm, moving away from Jack and allowing him to get the gun and tranquilize the dog again. He does this as Katie enters the apartment and asks what he did this time.

After getting Katie to stop laughing at his actions, she tells him that Summers is out of town for the next week and she gives them the location of his house as Jack grabbed Lady outside of the doggie hotel.

Jack and Ridley head out to Summers’ house and manage to break out and are soon subjected to one of the most bizarre break-in experiences they have ever experienced only to discover that Summers has been home the whole time and this was an elaborate ruse at Katie’s behest to prove if Jack really wanted to be his client causing the exhausted and furious Jack to pass out. When he wakes up, he finds a contract pinned to his jacket and a note that says, “Think about it.”

He finally checks his phone to realize that he forgot all about Rachel’s charity, but is sort of happy as he “never wants to see another dog again” only to walk in on the performance of Take Me Home Tonight and nearly darts out before Rachel spots him and pulls him into the performance. As the episode ends, Jack decides to sign the contract.

Jack begins The Untitled Rachel Berry Project in the loft, trying to get past Mary in the hallway. He sticks around with Rachel as they begin the project, only to be left almost speechless to the older woman’s behavior. He offers Rachel one of his scripts, which she turns down because they involve roles she is incapable of playing (i.e. a psychokinetic pervert or a vindictive superhero.)

Later, he is seen at the read-through, lighting it on fire after realizing Mary renamed him. He leaves the loft to find Mary and ends up nearly causing her to have a seizure (and tries, ignoring her cries, to sell her a script.) He asks her to give Rachel a chance to really show her who she is and to meet her at the Spotlight Diner the next day.

He meets up with Rachel and Mary and is moved by her performance 'Glitter in the Air and they leave Mary alone. Jack and Rachel race off, on an adrenaline rush that causes them to kiss, and are both left stunned by their actions. Jack readjusts his tie and makes an exit before Rachel can say anything.

He ends up heading to his penthouse where he runs into Sam, who looks absolutely crushed, and the two of them explain their problems to one another. Meanwhile, Rachel tells Kurt and Mercedes that she and Jack kissed. Mercedes and Kurt both point out that Rachel shouldn’t have to be alone and – despite the fact that it’s not even been a year – Jack has been in love with her for nearly five years while Sam points out that he is not the same person he was four years ago.

After Blaine’s showcase, he and Rachel discuss what their kiss could mean. He tells that he’s never been surer about anything and he can wait if she could ever feel the same way about him. He is about to leave again when Rachel grabs his hand and pulls him into a kiss and tells him that she is tired of watching him be afraid and she’s sick of feeling the same, too.

She tells him that she wants to take it one day at a time as she misses Finn so much and the last time she jumped into something she got hurt. Jack points out he was there for all of them and she confesses that she’s always known in some strange way and wants to see where it will go, so long as it doesn’t damage their friendship. Jack promises her he’s there, “No matter what. Always.”

They’re standing, holding hands when they see Sam’s bus ad and are both sad that another era is ending, but they’re both confident of another beginning. They take part in the performance of Pompeii and he is there when she learns she’s going to LA.

The season ends with Jack and Rachel walking hand in hand, both looking confident that a new day has come. Season Six=

Season Six
Loser Like Me begins with Jack trying to convince Rachel that the show wasn't all that bad, only to be told he has been fired with her. He tries to talk to Rachel, only for to ask him if she can be alone. Jack reveals (via voiceover) that he and Rachel are still together, but taking their relationship slowly. He also reveals that he is on the outs with the theatre world for a rather flippant interview he gave months back about Rachel's choice.

It finally takes a cop with a warrant to convince him to leave Los Angeles and he heads back to Lima with Rachel. He is stunned to learn of Hiram and LeRoy's separation and stays with Rachel, telling her that he's there for her and that he can always bring Jamie (his newborn half-brother) around to cheer up. Rachel thanks him for his consideration and the two decide to stay in for the evening.

He shows up at Dalton, having learned about Blaine's promotion to choir director and is impressed that they are as good as they ever were. He and Rachel discuss the possibility of reviving the glee club at McKinley, as they know of Sue erasing any history of performing arts at the school.

He and Rachel speak with Sam and meet Spencer for the first time. After a standoff where he and Jack insult each other, Jack decides "I like this kid."

Later, he is watches That's So Rachel with the others and states he felt he was the best part of the show, only to discover that the director and producers cut his part to only the scenes where his character drunkenly insults everyone. Afterwards, he confesses that the show, indeed, sucked.

That night, Jack and Rachel (who is spending the night at his new apartment) discuss the possibilities for the future and they both come to an agreement: They are bringing the glee club back. The next morning, Jack offers to pay for the remaining costs (and purchase the auditorium) when the money from the show runs out and Superintendent Harris agrees, on the condition that he keeps track of the money and doesn't get involved with any schemes like April did.

After Sue rips him, Rachel and Kurt apart before going on her rampage, she finds that Jack has gotten into her office. He tells that, despite everything that has happened for the school's benefit, there are still students that need to have an outlet and that the glee club was said outlet. Sue calmly states that she will remind him of who she truly is and that she will destroy him once and for all. Jack tells her that he looks forward to seeing her fail.

Later, he watches Will leave the music office and tells Rachel that he has a good feeling about the club. The two share a kiss before he leaves to test out the acoustics in his newly-purchased auditorium.

Finally alone, Jack has the chance to mull over his past and his possible future (and sing You Haven't Seen the Last of Me) as the episode comes to end.

In Homecoming, Jack and Rachel are busy trying to recruit members for the glee club, the former becoming more annoyed with the fake names on the sign-up sheet. He and Rachel are both slushied by Becky, who calls them both "Lima losers".

At Will's apartment, Rachel notes that the slushie incident is bothering Jack more than usual. He confesses that he knows if he reacts the way he would've in high school, the glee club might be shut down prematurely (revealing that he also offered the Superintendent a juicy reward for the club's reinstatement: His best behavior) but also that he doesn't see much point. This leads to a tiff between them, leading Jack to reveal another issue between them (their lack of sexual activity as Rachel wants to move forward and Jack wants to wait). Instead, they decide to table the discussion when Blaine arrives. After which, the directors of the glee clubs discuss their rules for the upcoming competitions.

The next day, Jack gets two appearances from the past. The first is Ridley, who has come to Lima at Jack's behest for his newest scheme. A flashback reveals that Ridley's mother, Elise, had an affair with Carlisle Colby and that, in the event of something happening to his wife and legitimate children (i.e. death, imprisonment), their stocks would be shared by his illegitimate children. Jack has discovered that not only did Elise have an affair with Carlisle, she gave birth to a son that was, through Elena's threats and coercion, forced into the foster care system. It is revealed that the child is in Lima and Jack (and Kristopher) need Ridley's DNA to help them find the boy and (using Brody's DNA) prove he is Carlisle's child in order to become his proxy at Colby Enterprises and, thus, control a part of their rival's company.

The second surprise is that three members of his former Successor Project have survived Sue's artistic purge of McKinley: Warren Hubbard (Simon Curtis), Carly Bowen (Elizabeth Gilles) and Craig Perry (Gideon Glick). The three make an appearance in the music room and offer their services to the glee club, auditioning with a performance of Bang-Bang, which Jack, Rachel and Kurt love and decide to accept.

Jack also gets a surprise when he decides to ask Sue about another sign-up sheet defacing when he sees a student in the music room, playing the piano. He listens to her sing Let Me Entertain You before he enters the room and asks what she's doing in the room when the directors aren't there. She reveals that she was hiding from a group of football players that she had pranked. Jack introduces himself to which she says, "I already know who you are." She introduces herself as Carmen Nathanson, his unofficial successor. Jack asks her if she wants to join the glee club when she replies, "Of course." She also reveals she had ruined the sign-up sheets in order to get Jack to hunt her down and demand answers. She states the legends were a little more impressive than the man himself, but she can learn to live with it.

Jack reveals his new coup at Roderick's audition, which he doesn't take seriously until he hears him sing and Jack gives him a second vote of confidence when Rachel invites him to join the club.

In addition to Craig, Carly, Carmen, Warren and Roderick, they also get Jane (the lady Warbler who has switched sides), as well as Mason and Madison (twins that are also on the Cheerios), Jack gloats to Sue that they have proven her wrong once again and that she is going be eating crow by the end of the year. She tells him that the battle has only just begun and Jack tells her she could threaten Will that way but she doesn't scare him. He warns her, "Fight me and you'll lose. Just like every other show choir this year. You will lose."

Jack joins everyone at the Homecoming bonfire, where he is pulled into a group hug, to which he and Carmen demand "Not become a thing", leading Sam to wonder if she's a clone of their grumpy friend. The group performs Home as they head for the football field for the fireworks. Jack spots Ridley, nodding to her that their plans have just begun before spotting Blaine and Will. Jack looks back to Rachel and Kurt, who are looking rather downcast and tries to enjoy the fireworks.

Personality
Once described as “Rachel Berry with a five o’clock shadow”, Jack is known for his intelligence, lack of tact, brutal honesty, and poor social skills. He is also driven, arrogant, and melodramatic and is willing to go to any extreme to achieve his goals including bribery and blackmail. He frequently speaks to everyone with an air of condescension, along with forgetting the names of those around him, believing himself to be superior to them.

Despite his melodramatic behavior, Jack is also known for his cold, almost robotic demeanor and near Vulcan-like control over his emotions, rarely showing any change in his reaction whenever something happens. His body language is usually the best tell of his emotional state whenever something happens, though it is usually hard to tell him what he is thinking or feeling. Thus far, only four people have mastered the secret language of Jack Harmon: his father, Rachel, his bodyguard, Henderson, and his cousin, Diane.

During Season three, more characters were able to crack his hard exterior and develop bonds with Jack, the most surprising being Santana, his longtime rival, and her girlfriend, Jenn McGraw, the latter which blossoms into a friendship during the second half of Season four.

As of season five, Jack's casual relationship with alcohol has developed into borderline alcoholism, much like April and much of his paternal line.

Jack has a tendency to react in a rash manner whenever he feels threatened by somebody, best illustrated in Asian F when he outright confesses to Millie that Blaine, Mitchell and Dylan wanted the role more than he did. He would sabotage their callback competition and reaped the consequences of his actions.

The character’s creator, Soulless Warlock, has stated that “the one thing that I think makes Jack unique is that, unlike every arrogant, self-loving character in fiction, who are a mountain of insecurities, he doesn’t have that problem. He truly believes himself to be as great as he says he is.”

However, there are cracks in Jack’s armor, revealing a softer side to the character. For example, he cares deeply about his father, actually listening to him whenever he gives him advice, or makes a suggestion. It can also be said that his father is one of two people who actually sees Jack’s more sensitive, giving side.

Jack is also known to have a protective streak towards those he cares about. His protectiveness, however, manifests itself in aggressive pranks toward the offending parties.

This can be most clearly seen in his relationship with Kurt. The two exchanged light-hearted barbs, but Jack has shown too genuinely care about Kurt and his health. As evidenced when Jack visited Kurt’s father in the hospital and revealed that his own father suffered from a similar heart condition. In Furt, he admitted that he enjoyed his early morning insults with Kurt when Kurt left McKinley. In the same episode, he threatened to expose whatever secret Karofsky was hiding when he learned of the jock’s threats toward Kurt.

The other relationship where he shows any sort of kindness is with Rachel, whom he often refers to as his “only friend”. In A Very Glee Christmas, Jack confesses that, next to his father, Rachel is the most important person in his life, and planned to take her with him when he went to a touring production of La Cage Aux Folles starring Gary Beach and Douglas Hodge. After Finn officially breaks up with Rachel, Jack covertly sacrifices his tickets, complete with backstage passes, and gives them to Rachel as a late Hanukah present and tells her that she and her dads would enjoy the show.

In addition, Jack felt a certain amount of sadness when he realized that his relationship with his birth mother had a better chance of succeeding than Rachel’s relationship with Shelby and feels guilty for bringing her with him, feeling that he was rubbing his own happiness in her face.

The most obvious sign that he has a heart was when he learned the identity of his birth mother and cried in Rachel’s arms.

Quirks

He also seems to be unaware (or unwilling to accept) that three of his fears are fictional.

Both Julio Lopez and Santana have described him as suffering from "some kind of rare, pervasive developmental disorder or even undiagnosed atypical autism."

<span lang="EN" style="line-height: 107%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This is seen in his inability to pick up on social cues, his perceived lack of empathy (at least on a cognitive level), his prodigious (and precocious as a child) vocabulary, and his obsessive attention to detail in his performances (i.e., he counts every single beat during a performance and becomes annoyed when anyone messes up) and pranks (they go off on a timetable that he has perfected over a period of time).

<span lang="EN" style="line-height: 107%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Other examples include his rigid following of routine, having followed the same wake up routine every morning and he waxes his shoes the same way before he goes to bed every night. His voice is also an indicator as it tends to stay in the same range and tone, only changing while he is performing or in response to strong emotions. In addition, he frequently points out whenever the choice of songs performed on the show are inappropriate for the situation. This happened in I Do when he mocked all of Finn's song ideas as being songs about one-night stands and not lifetime commitments.

He is shown to be able to ‘converse’ with Lord Tubbington as if he were a person and speaking an intelligible language with him and, in Feud, he becomes attached to Bianca and Stan's pet ocelot. Later, he attempts to bond with the bear cub that Sue placed in Blaine and Karofsky's apartment. After Ridley and Sam veto the idea of keeping the bear as a pet, they adopt a kitten that Jack names Babou.

It is also when he ponders aloud, "Oh God, maybe I am autistic."

Rachel Berry
Main Article: Jack-Rachel Relationship

Rachel is Jack’s best, and until the end of season two, only true friend and their ever-evolving relationship is one of the most important plot points in the character’s storylines. The two share many qualities and traits as well as an “unacknowledged attraction.”

It was revealed during Season Two that Jack is in love with Rachel, but unable to act on his feelings because of her relationship with Finn. Nearly a year after Finn's death, Jack and Rachel begin a tentative relationship that soon evolves into a more serious and loving relationship. In the five year time-skip, Jack and Rachel are revealed to be married.

Regardless of the nature of their relationship, he is undyingly loyal to Rachel no matter what the situation. Amongst the small fandom of this pairing, they are known as Jachel.

Kristopher Harmon
The CEO of HarmCo and Jack’s father, he is the second most important factor in Jack’s storylines. While he is fiercely protective of Jack, hiring a bodyguard to follow him at all times, he and Jack have an easy-going relationship, something that is threatened by his romance with Lisa Puckerman.

The elder Harmon was the only person who treated his son as a genuinely decent person, despite his numerous flaws. Jack, in return, views his father as the only person worthy of giving him advice on any subject, something that Kristopher uses to great effect in his appearances.

Kristopher is best described as Jack’s handler, parent, and friend which keeps the bombastic Jack grounded as much as he can be grounded.

Quinn Fabray
Main Article: Jack-Quinn Relationship

Quinn and Jack’s relationship in an intriguing one. He is attracted to her on some level. The latter showing a certain protective nature for the Cheerio when it was discovered she was pregnant. Since then, their friendship has changed as time goes by, considering Jack’s friendship with Rachel and Quinn’s rivalry with the diva. Amongst the small fandom for this pairing, they are known as Quack.

Kurt Hummel
Jack and Kurt’s relationship was rather contentious at the beginning, as Jack believed Kurt would use the fact that he was gay as a special “Get out of jail free” card as he could claim Jack was being discriminating towards him, while Kurt found Jack to be, for lack of a better term, an asshole.

Jack does, however, show that he does care about Kurt in Season Two when he learned of Karofsky’s threats against the countertenor, Jack threatened to expose Karofsky’s possible secret. He was also upset by Kurt transferring to Dalton.

In The Purple Piano Project, Jack calls Kurt ‘Kurt’ for the second time following the mixer disaster, signaling an end to their enmity. By the end of the third season, the two consider one another best friends.

Finn Hudson
Jack’s relationship with Finn is, perhaps, his most complex one. They are capable of getting along and working for the benefit of the glee club, but Jack’s feelings for Rachel complicate the situation as Finn is aware of this. The two have almost come to blows on numerous occasions, but restrain themselves for Rachel’s sake.

Following Finn's death, Jack tried to make amends with his rival, promising to look after Rachel and Kurt, as well as starting a performing arts scholarship in Finn's name.

Puck
Jack and Puck have a contentious relationship that has changed over time. At first, they hated each other and got into numerous fist fights off camera, but that seems to have cooled with the knowledge that Jack’s father is dating Puck’s mother. Since then, the two have started building a quasi-brotherly relationship.

Santana Lopez
Jack’s relationship with Santana is one of his more entertaining, evolving over the years from the worst of enemies, who insulted one another to infuriate the other, to vitriolic buddies and accomplices when it comes to criminal activity, often taking pot shots at one another for the sheer fun of it.

<span lang="EN" style="line-height: 107%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The first was with Felicia Beasley, whom he dated during his junior year. The two met when Jack began to go to the music store she worked. At first, he found her brusque tone annoying and tried to date as a means to humiliate her, but she rebuffed him at every turn. But, she wore him down to the point that he started to like her. The two would start to date in Silly Love Songs and the relationship continued into A Night of Neglect, despite Jack's infidelity with Santana.

<span lang="EN" style="line-height: 107%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The second was with Millie Lansing, whom he met at his father's engagement party where she was singing in the band. During this timeframe of Jack's life, he was drowning his sorrows in women and Millie, who looked very much like Rachel (although Jack, Rachel and Millie never seemed to notice) had been the first warm body in a while. Their sexual relationship evolved into a romantic one, starting in The Purple Piano Project, but did not last as they were both hung up over their unrequited loves. Millie ended the relationship in Yes/No when the man she was in love with finally admitted his feelings for her.

<span lang="EN" style="line-height: 107%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He didn't date anyone during season four, but shared sexual tension with Tess Harper, Lindsay Murrow, and Rachel. Nothing came of these relationships despite his best efforts. He spent much of second half of the season in a fake relationship with Jenn McGraw, which lead to a near drunken hook-up.

Sexual Relationships
Another recurring aspect of Jack's personality is his promiscuity, stating in The First Time that he doesn't even remember when he lost his virginity and admitting in Tested to have bedded, at last count, over 100 women (not counting the escorts he has hired). His exploits have occured mostly off-screen and include, but are not limited to, other locations such as Rosewood, Pennsylvania, New York City, Phoenix, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles

Running Gags
Throughout Jack's time in the series, he has shown off numerous quirks and behaviors that have become running gags.

Mental Health
Jack’s declining mental state has been a consistent running gag throughout all of his appearances. He often converses with two distinct voices in his head and treats them as if they are separate entities, sometimes speaking out loud to them, which usually draw stares from onlookers.

In addition, there are times that he believes things that haven’t happened have actually occurred. He has been known to break the fourth wall on numerous occasions. The best example of his delusions is shown in The Purple Piano Project when he is seen holding a Tony Award, believing he won it for his work in CrossRhodes, despite only helping April in the rehearsal periods. In fact, he stole the award and still believes he’s a Tony Award-winner.

He also believes his eccentricities, such as taking part in cage fighting, being naked in other people's homes is a guest's prerogative, setting up a surveillance state on your friends and owning a secret safe, is commonplace with everyone in the world.

Robot
Because of his detached, Vulcan-like behavior, Jack is often compared to a robot and there is some evidence to prove that he just might be one. In Wheels, he was struck in the face with a locker door and while recovering his vision resembled that of the Terminator reactivating complete with the analytical vision of Rachel, Puck, Quinn, and Finn. In Never Been Kissed, he fainted after seeing Kurt and Karofsky kiss and when he woke he underwent a Robocop-style reminder of his Prime Directives, which are as followed:


 * Protect the Glee Club
 * Hate Mohawk Jew
 * Be awesome

In Blame It On the Alcohol, Jack woke up in a field and was reminded of Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics.

Skills
Outside of his skills in pranks, music, and dance, Jack is also skilled at numerous other activities including hand-to-hand combat, sharpshooting, breaking and entering, and evasive driving.

Jack is also skilled in mechanics, though his abilities seem to fluctuate from seriously flawed to revolutionary genius. He has installed numerous gadgets and weapons in his car, but their work rate seems to fluctuate as well, which Jack chalks up to faulty parts, claiming no fault on his own.

He was also able to repair the teleportation machine in HarmCo, allowing it to teleport him out of the building and into a field. It should be noted that he was drunk when he did this and could not figure out how to teleport without losing his shoes.

His interests are as equally unusual and varied, accumulating trivial knowledge on various subjects. He knows how many roaches it takes to tow a toothbrush, the last meal of every man executed in the last 100 years, and which Vice Presidents were gay and which ones were robots and which one was a gay robot.

Nicknames
Jack claims that he can never remember the names of most of the people he meets, so he has devised numerous nicknames for the people around. Most of these names either indicate a characteristic or personality quirk he notices about the other members of the glee club or people in the school.

He has shown, however, that he does remember the names of the glee members when it matters and may only be calling them those names as terms of endearment...or because he is an ass, whichever the reader decides.

 * Trevor – CLB; Tumor; Thief

Jack is not immune to nicknames as he has been given several himself.

Examples include:
 * Jack Off and Jack Ass – Nickname given to him by the glee club
 * Herr Harmon – Called that by Rachel
 * Tigger – Called that by his father
 * Jack-Jack – Called that by his cousin, Diane
 * Jackie – Called that by his cousins
 * Beggar Man – Codename given to him by himself and used by Henderson
 * Handsome – Called this by April
 * Gabe – Called that by Daniel in reference to Aaron Tveit’s role in Next to Normal.
 * Tadpole – Called this by Wilson Murrow
 * I Am Sam - Called this by Haley Weber

Light Sleeper
Jack also wakes up at the slightest touch of his bed or wherever he is sleeping, though, it doesn’t seem to apply if the touch is brought on by him as shown in The Power of Madonna when he falls over while asleep.

The Purple Piano Project revealed he sleeps with a weapon as he pulled a gun on Quinn when she touched his car, which was where he was napping.

Psychic Abilities
A minor running gag involves Jack’s ability to predict what others are going to do. He normally tells them what they’re thinking, either agreeing with them or disagreeing with them and then informing them that he isn’t psychic.

Gadgets
In Seasons Four and Five, Jack began to carry a variety of items in unconventional places on his persons, citing the more lethal ones as a personal defense but still uses them for conventional reasons, much to the consternation of his friends. Example: He carried a pencil on a spring-loader up his right sleeve and the notepad in the left and a taser in his specially made belts.

Gadgets

Jack's Sleeves


 * Right sleeve (pencil)
 * Left sleeve (notepad)

Jack's shoes
 * Right shoe (knife)
 * Left shoe (starter pistol)

Jack's belt


 * Smoke bombs/pellets
 * Taser
 * Hunting knife
 * Pepper spray

Size of his Head
Beginning in season two, there have been several jokes about the size of Jack's head. He denies that his head is large stating that is "proportionate to the size of my body" only for Kurt to tell him, "If you were a Peanuts character." Jack confesses later that the size of his head in the one thing that he's really sensitive about. The size of his head has also been the reason why his glee costumes' necks are special ordered and part of the reason why he only owns button-down shirts.

 * He also set up a Doomsday Prank on Santana should he die before 30, as he believes she'd have something to do with it. He does not know who will play as he never saw the guy and left $500 in a hollow tree in the park. It is supposed to be triggered by his obituary.
 * Despite claiming to have perfect vision, Jack actually wears reading glasses from time to time.
 * Despite considering himself heterosexual, Jack has experimented with, at least, one male (revealed in Tina in the Sky with Diamonds) and regularly points out whether or not a man is attractive.
