Move is the fifth episode of Season One. It aired on October 14, 2017.

Synopsis
The New Directions are rehearsing when Maddie Dawson bumps into Zandra, causing her to fall hard on her back. Zandra gets up and pushes her, ready to fight. Maddie claims it was an accident, but she isn't buying it. Tabitha is quick to break it up and tell them to grow up before they get themselves kicked out of the club. Zandra is still upset, but complies nonetheless.

After rehearsals, Arden waits for Zandra at her locker. She brings up the kiss once she arrives and comes out to her then and there. Zandra promises not to tell anyone and hugs her, reassuring her that everything will be fine. Arden then tells her she also enjoyed their kiss and hopes they can do it again. Zandra agrees and kisses her cheek before leaving for class.

Later that week, Kitty is called to Will's office for an emergency meeting. Kitty is worried and confused, but keeps a positive mindset. She gets to his office where Sheldon sits and announces that the Titans have a game on the same night as sectionals. As a result, both Glen and Michael may have to miss the New Directions' performance. Kitty panics and begs her to excuse them. Sheldon thinks there is zero chance they'll be able to miss the game considering how big it is, but tells her he'll see what she can do while making no promises. Kitty then speaks with Glen and asks him to pull some strings for her like faking sick or lying about an appointment. He takes her word as he's been excited for their performance for weeks now. Kitty later brings up his absence at their last three meetings. Glen tells her about Kamiya's pregnancy and their breakup, admitting that he's terrified. He quickly breaks down and cries into her shoulder.

With sectionals just a few days away, Kitty holds an after school meeting in the choir room. She tells them that she may not be another Will, but she is the first of her kind to run the glee club and is "pretty damn proud" of the progress they've made in such little time. While she wants them to stay positive, she warns them that winning isn't everything. She had to learn the hard way after once losing sectionals due to a technicality, but assures them that as long as none of them faint, they'll get first place.

The club is doing a final run through of their routine when yet another argument starts between Zandra and Maddie after Maddie knocks her down again. She slaps Zandra in the face for getting too close. Kitty breaks it up before it goes any further and they get in trouble, but Will was already walking by and saw everything. He sends them to his office and gives them both a three day suspension, effective immediately. He doesn't mention sectionals until Kitty asks if they're still eligible to perform and says no. Will explains and says it is one of the hardest decisions he's ever had to make as principal, but he wants Kitty to learn the hard way. Following the meeting, Both Zandra and Maddie apologize to Kitty for causing her so much panic. She accepts their apology, but she seriously has no idea what to do now that she's lost four performers in less than a week.
