In “Rumours”, cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) publishes libel in the student newspaper about the glee club to cause conflict between its members, and the McKinley High glee club come across “interesting” news about the family of fellow member Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet). Meanwhile, the club’s director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) receives a visit from his friend April Rhodes (Chenoweth), who attempts to convince him to be involved with her new project: a one-woman show entitled Crossroads. Sam is seen with Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) by Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) in a motel. Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) is also seen with Sam at the same motel.
