This week, Quinn's not-so-secret pregnancy is finally revealed to all the parents. Finn's mom shows a mix of sadness and compassion -- unlike Quinn's parents, who kick her out of the house and tell her what a disappointment she is. She needs her parents to tell her it's going to be OK, and instead they turn their backs on her. Meanwhile, impending parenthood puts a strain on Finn and Quinn's relationship, and their fighting affects everyone in Glee. And Puck spills the beans to Mercedes that he's the baby's father. Mercedes tells him, "You're the baby's daddy, but Finn's the father." To learn more about "Glee" and to watch entire episodes online, visit FOX.com.
