Is is only us, or did Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Mike both arrange of get abandoned in this episode? While a other graduates any got their possess middle monologues and mini-plot lines, we hardly listened a word from possibly of these two. We adore that their futures — in LA and Chicago, respectively — both demeanour so bright, though because no corridor scene, story arc, or possibility to sing a goodbye song?

For Mike, we arrange of understand, given he’s been some-more of a credentials impression in a past. But what about Mercedes? She’s a first member of a Troubletones, and arguably one of McKinley’s strongest and many absolute singing voices. Yet she got roughly no screentime. For such a fan favorite, it only doesn’t seem to make sense.
