From what Burt's heard, Blaine's surgery had gone well and he was expected to make a full recovery. He must have been doing well because Kurt had been coming home going on about how sweet Blaine was and that he'd been leaving secret admirer notes for Kurt. Burt didn't really understand how that worked, but Kurt was happy so Burt was happy, too.

Finn and Rachel have eclipsed Kurt and Blaine as the couple that Burt is worried about. Apparently, after finding out the truth about his dad's death, Finn had gone into a downward spiral which culminated in proposing to Rachel. When Burt finds out, he is not pleased. He and Kurt's mom had gotten married sooner than their parents had wanted, but that was different, wasn't it?

Burt is surprised to discover that no one is more upset about this development that Kurt. It takes a lot of prying, but eventually Burt finds out why.

"They get to make a split decision, do something stupid and reckless, but even if Blaine and I had been together for ten years, we still can't get married in this goddamn state! How can that possibly be fair! They don't realize how lucky they are, how big of a deal it is to get married! Gays aren't "ruining the sanctity of marriage" – high school seniors getting married because they don't think they have a future are!"

Kurt's being harsh. He's hurt and he's lashing out. But as cruel and arrogant as his words are, Burt can't help but think that there is a certain amount of truth to them. Burt and Carole agree to go over to the Berry household to meet her dads – their future in-laws. Burt liked meeting Rachel's dads, Hiram and Leroy. While they were individually so different from Kurt and Blaine, his two boys were all Burt could think of during the dinner. He found himself hoping that Kurt and Blaine could be as happy as Rachel's dads when they got to the same age.

However, the dinner was dual purposed: to make Finn and Rachel aware of just how big of a deal getting engaged truly is. Unfortunately, it backfires and Finn and Rachel decide to push the wedding forward to be after regionals the next week.

One of the girls from Glee Club organized a big party for Valentine's Day evening. Kurt went to it, and so did Finn and Rachel after the whole dinner party/teenager lovemaking fiasco. Kurt comes home from the party fairly late, and Burt is surprised that Blaine is with him. The boys say a quick hello and then head straight up to Kurt's bedroom. Burt's not stupid – he knows what's going on up there – but he pretends he doesn't. He heads upstairs to the master bedroom to suggest to Carole that they have their own Valentine's Day celebration.

The next morning, Burt comes downstairs to find Kurt and Blaine making chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. Kurt must be in a good mood, because it's real bacon, not that turkey stuff he'd been buying for the past year. The boys have music on and they are singing and dancing around the kitchen as they work.

Burt pours himself some coffee and sits down at the table, hoping desperately that he would be allowed to eat some of the bacon. Sure enough, he is. The boys sit down at the table, and Kurt puts a bowl of his standard cereal in front of Burt, but then gives him a plate with two pancakes and two pieces of bacon. Burt thinks Valentine's Day should be more than once a year.

"So how was the party?" Burt asks, trying to figure out when Blaine showed up.

"It was boring until Blaine arrived." Kurt says, pouring syrup on Blaine's pancakes.

"I was a surprise." Blaine says with a smile. "Sugar was the only one that knew I was going to be there."

"So this was part of the whole secret admirer thing?" Burt asks, and instantly regrets it.

Kurt turns bright red and a strange look appears on Blaine's face. Blaine turns to look at Kurt.

"What secret admirer thing?" Blaine asks. He doesn't sound upset, but Burt is worried all the same.

"Oh it was nothing. Just some cards in my locker. I'll tell you about it later." Kurt tells Blaine. He's giving Blaine some pretty significant looks, but it seems like their telepathic abilities aren't evolved enough yet, because Blaine doesn't get the hint.

"No, you'll tell me now, Kurt." Blaine argues. "Who was it?"

Kurt looks pleadingly at Blaine for a few moments but seems to realize it's not doing him any good.

"Fine. It was Dave." Kurt answers, throwing his hands in the air.

"Karofsky?" Blaine asks.

"WHAT?" Burt can't help but yell. "What the hell, Kurt! What's going on?"

Kurt's looking at his hands now, picking at this nails.

"It was never my secret to tell." Kurt says. He looks at Blaine, as if wanting support. "Dad, you can't tell anyone this, but Dave, uhm, he was bullying me because he was confused about his sexuality and he resented me for being out of the closet."

Burt cannot believe his ears.

"What?" He repeats weakly.

"Santana figured it out last year, so they started going out together so that they could both seem straight. Apart from me and Blaine, she's the only one that knows. She made him realize how bad everything was that he had done to me, and when we met before I transferred back, he apologized. I know that he is genuinely sorry for what he did. And I forgave him. He switched schools at the beginning of the year because he wanted a fresh start."

"So what was this about him admiring you?" Burt says. Blaine nods.

"I was getting cards in my locker all week. Just little cheesy things. I thought they were from Blaine, but apparently they weren't. The last one said to meet him at Breadstix before the party, so I did."

Burt and Blaine let out simultaneous sounds of protest and concern.

"Nothing happened, I was totally fine. We talked for a bit about his new school and he said that he thinks that he likes me. So I told him that I was with Blaine and that I was sure Dave would find someone else, and realize that he only liked me because I was the only out guy he knew. He got embarrassed, so he got up to leave. As he was heading out, this guy from his new school recognized him. He was one of those jerky, jock guys, so hopefully he wasn't smart enough to figure out what we were talking about."

After all that the kid put Kurt through, Kurt is still concerned about his well-being. Burt is amazed and slightly horrified. Kurt's too forgiving, too trusting.

"So that's it?" Blaine asks.

"Mhm." Kurt answers.

"Okay." Blaine says, kissing Kurt on the cheek and going back to his pancakes.

Burt can't believe how calmly Blaine is taking this. The guy that threatened his boyfriend just made an attempt to steal Kurt from him. And Blaine's just eating his breakfast like nothing is wrong. Burt doesn't understand, but he hopes that this will be the end of things. Then again, the last time he hoped a situation would just go away, Sebastian had blinded Blaine.
