'Glee' Premiere Preview: Rachel Sucks, Someone Still Loves 'Him' And Sue's Bee Gee Baby

LAST WARNING! The following contains potential spoilers for next week's fourth-season premiere of FOX's "Glee." We're giving away as little as possible, but the lucky ducks at The Hollywood Reporter laid eyes on the premiere titled "The New Rachel" a week early, and what THR revealed, we'd feel a tad guilty if we didn't at least offer you.

As has been hinted at virtually all summer, one New Directions couple begins the season already no more. The possibilities? Several, each with some cutesy amalgamated name. Finchel? Klaine? Brittana? Well, there's no telling quite yet. THR reports only that one couple is already done, another is kept together by purest true love (and Skype), and another going through "growing pains."

Oh, and at some point, somebody says "I still love him and we're still friends."

Take this for what it's worth, too: as we begin the season, Finn's been troublingly AWOL from the now NYADA-bound Rachel. A little lost enough without her better half, someone tells her something nobody's ever mustered the cajones to say to her face: that she out-and-out sucks. THR doesn't dish on who exactly, but it's been foretold already that Rachel and Kate Hudson's debuting Dance 101 instructor Cassandra July end up on a collision course from Jump Street.

Along the way, though, she apparently earns the respect of Brody (Dean Geyer), who inspires her not to let up for a moment even in the face of July's verbal brutality.

Elsewhere, the now-National Champion New Directions wander their evolution's course toward the rise of Rachel's successor. It's hinted that the struggle will come down to Brittany (Heather Morris), Blaine (Darren Criss), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) and Sam (Chord Overstreet), not to mention New Directions noob Wade "Unique" Adams.

Then again, there's also the emerging Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist), who THR describes as bearing "the vibe of season 1 Rachel Berry."

To round out the biggest of the biggies, prepare a warm welcome for the spawn of Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch). Her bouncing, surely Machiavelian (eventually...) baby girl has a name that honors a member of the Bee Gees. Meanwhile, the Cheerios have a new, not-Becky "Quinn" sitting at Sue's right hand.

Finally, two important people in Kurt's life send him off "fittingly" to the East Coast to open his own next chapter.
