Will Schuester, a high school Spanish teacher who loves to sing, is also the adviser and organizer for the school's struggling glee club. In Glee season 1 episode 6 named "Vitamin D," the group is still struggling to find their rhythm and manage to hold rehearsals in the school's library. They discuss their difficulties, but Will is not able to offer much help, as he is still struggling to find a balance between his professional and personal lives. He is also facing some challenges with his students, especially with their inadequate response to his attempts to get their attention.
Rachel Berry, one of the most talented members of the club, learns that there is a glee club competition coming up and quickly becomes obsessed with winning it. While other members of the club just want to have fun and share their love of music, Rachel is uncompromising in her goal to win the competition, which creates some tension among the group.
Meanwhile, the school's football coach, Ken Tanaka, wants to get his team to take more vitamins and improve their physical performance. As a result, he encourages his students to take vitamin D supplements, which cause some of the team members to suffer from side effects due to their overdose. Will is concerned about this and takes it upon himself to educate the team on the importance of proper supplementation. He also realizes that the vitamin craze could be a way to help his glee club reach their potential.
With the goal of winning the competition, Rachel suggests that the glee club members take vitamin supplements as well. Will agrees and creates a mashup of two songs, which he believes will showcase the group's talents as well as their newfound energy. However, the influence of the vitamins on the group is not all positive, and outside factors begin to affect their performance. Will is also struggling to manage his personal life, which adds to the complications.
The competition is fast approaching, and Will is worried about the direction that things are going. He decides to take drastic measures by splitting the club into two groups and having a sing-off. The competition is fierce, with each group hitting all the right notes, but the power of harmony ultimately prevails. The episode ends on a high note, with the club members showcasing their talents, teamwork, and newfound energy.
Overall, Glee season 1 episode 6, "Vitamin D," is a fun and entertaining episode that showcases the trials and tribulations of high school life while also highlighting the power of music to bring people together.
