Entertainment Weekly reports that Glee's own Rachel Berry shows up to mentor the new crop of hopefuls, who are competing for a seven-episode arc on the hit Fox series.
Since Lea's character will be graduating from McKinley High this month, the experience was extra sentimental. "Everything came full circle in that these kids wanted to be on our show, and they're so talented, and each had their own stories the same way we did," Lea said. "It was so inspiring."
