About this episode

The McKinley High students say a heartbreaking goodbye to Finn Hudson.
Behind the scenes, the cast and crew were grieving the death of Cory Monteith … on-screen, they had to get into character and grieve for everyone's favorite quarterback, Finn. Jenna and Kevin share how tough it was to shoot this episode, revealing it sometimes felt like an intrusion into a private experience, having to disassociate to get through filming, the scenes that had the cast running out of the room in tears, and having the option to bow out of the episode, but why they chose to do it.  Cory left such an indelible mark on those he met, so Kevin and Jenna are honoring his memory by sharing some of their fondest recollections and moments and revisiting their favorite Cory stories told by some of their podcast guests.
