Glee: Strange ending to a good ep

thistlechaserThis is the first ep all season that I really, really liked... right up until the end. Who'd have thought that Sue would be effective as a principal? And the wedding had me grinning the whole time. This is the first ep where I liked almost all of the songs, too.
The ending though... it negated all the good feelings. I felt terrible that their honeymoon money would be spent on the school (and would it even cover more than a year?).
The most disturbing part of the ep was that I felt a little bad for Karofsky. He was totally and 100% in the wrong, let me be clear on that. Bullying? Death threats? Forced kisses? Unacceptable. But it's sad that he couldn't come out, that his background and culture made him too scared to do it. His father seemed like a good man, and Karofsky is just a kid (the character, anyway). I feel horrible for feeling bad for him, but I wonder if my judgment of him has been too harsh. When the actors look like they're in their mid to late 20s, it's easy to forget how young the kids are. ...and the more I type, the more I feel like I'm betraying everything right. I'm not defending bullying. I'm not defending his actions at all. But the fact that a situation could be created that would make him develop into this person who would bully... that I can feel sorry about.
