“"We had a memorial before we went back to work,” [Jane Lynch] says. “It was just for the cast and the crew. The crew is also grieving, they loved him very much. We had a memorial that was really hard and moving but wonderful. Everybody supported each other so it was good that we did that before we started work. The third episode has been difficult but beautiful and it’s beautifully written. I think it’s a great tribute not just to Cory but to his character, Finn, who was a lot like Cory — kind of the quarterback of our group and the leader. It’s kind of dealing with each kid losing this guy they looked up to.” So the third episode, titled Quarterback, will find the kids from Glee singing songs that Finn Hudson sang. Lynch thinks it will help with the healing, and not just for cast and crew. “Everybody says ‘I’m sorry for your loss,’ ” says Lynch about meeting fans after Monteith’s death. “But, what’s interesting is it’s their loss too and I know that they just want to share with somebody who understands. It’s almost like you want to get ahold of the people who knew him and loved him the way they did. He had a lot of fans and a lot of people who loved him. That’s why I think this third episode will be so good for everybody.”
