Kurt was sad. He couldn't go to the glee club reunion because it was his cousin's birthday.

Christmas goes well. Carole makes a huge Christmas dinner. Finn is back too. He says Blaine was different, but Kurt doesn't care. Or does he?

Oh, he does.

Kurt calls Mercedes who tells him everything about the glee clubbers. '... and Mike has this audition for a show.' 'Good for him.' 'And then there's Blaine.' ' 'Cedes...' 'No listen Kurt!' Mercedes says, 'You should've seen him. He is so different now.'

'Yeah, he's a New Yorker,' Kurt says shortly, 'The Big Apple changes everyone.'

'No, his look,' Mercedes says, 'His personality is the same. But.. I'm not going to spoil you. You need to find out yourself.'

He goes to Rachel two days after the call. '...and I'm still sad we didn't go to the Winter Showcase and... Kurt! Are you even listening?' 'Huh.. euhm, yes?' 'No you weren't!' Rachel exclaims, 'You've been silent for two weeks. What's up with you?' Kurt doubts.

Shall he tell her?

He sighs.

'Well?' Rachel raises an eyebrow. Kurt sighs again. 'I really, really like Adam, but I think I'm falling in love with somebody else and I don't know what to-' 'KURT!' Rachel shrieks, 'Are you kidding me? Give me the details!'

He tells her the whole boy problem. Not only Dan, but also Prep and Blaine. And Adam has been distant. 'What am I supposed to do?' Kurt panics, 'Should I break up with Adam for someone I don't even know?' 'Wait.. Dan or Prep?' 'Dan of course!'

'Follow your heart,' Rachel says, 'What does it say?'

Kurt is silent for a few minutes. He is thinking. What does his heart say?

'That I should break up.'

'See? Settled,' Rachel says with a high-pitched voice. 'I-' 'No Kurt! Listen to your heart for once.' 'I always do!' Kurt defends himself. 'No, you don't,' Rachel shoots back, 'If you did, you wouldn't have stopped talking to Blaine!' 'RACHEL!'

New Years Eve is really good. Carole's family has a party in one of Finn's aunts houses. But then, a quite drunk, dad has a buzzkill.

'I haven't seen Blaine,' he says. 'What?' Carole looks up. 'Blaine,' Burt says, 'He used to visit me very week, so I expected to see him somewhere in winter break, but he hasn't shown up.' 'He is in Ohio,' Finn adds, 'I saw him at the glee club reunion. Burt, you won't recognize him!'

'Mercedes told me,' Kurt says, trying to hide his agony becauseWHY DID HIS DAD BRING THIS UP, NOW?, 'She said she won't spoil me. I have to see him myself.' 'Yeah you have to,' Finn says, 'If you recognize him.' Kurt wonders what the hell happened to Blaine. He can't help it.

He calls Rachel and promises her and himself a few thing for the new year.

He'll break up with Adam when they're back in the city.

He'll contact Blaine.

He'll find out who Prep is and he'll know more about Dan.

At the end of the year, his boy problem will be over.
