"Whether you&amp;#39;re a card-carrying Gleek or you&amp;#39;ve just casually caught a few episodes (which is inevitable, since the show&amp;#39;s now in its fifth season), last night&amp;#39;s episode was a Big Deal.\n\nAs you know, Cory Monteith, who starred as Finn Hudson, one of the show&amp;#39;s most beloved characters, died earlier this year at 31. His sudden passing shook all of Hollywood\u2014but no one more so than his Glee cast mates. And last night marked the highly anticipated tribute episode that honored both Finn, a pivotal character, and Cory, an actor dear to the hearts of cast and fans alike.\n\nMany of the show&amp;#39;s original characters, including Amber Riley, Harry Shum Jr., and Mark Salling, made their return to celebrate him in typical Glee fashion&amp;amp;#8212through song. All of the actors closest to Cory, both on and off screen, sang solos: Santana sang &amp;quot;If I Die Young,&amp;quot; Puck busted out &amp;quot;No Surrender,&amp;quot; and Mercedes crooned a soulful &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ll Stand by You.&amp;quot; Lea Michele&amp;#39;s Rachel Berry, his longtime love on the show and in real life, gave a tearful performance of &amp;quot;Make You Feel my Love.&amp;quot;\n\nIt was lovely and sweet, but seriously tough to watch. There were tons of tears, and since many of the show&amp;#39;s scenes were filmed in one take, they were really, really real. And though there was no mention of how Finn\u2014or Cory\u2014passed away, the cast recorded a PSA about addiction that ran immediately following the episode, which was a super smart way to bring attention to drug and alcohol prevention.\n\nSo if you missed it, you can catch the entire episode online later this week, but for now, watch one of the most touching performances of the night. Just grab a box of tissues first.\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
