In the Glee "Funk" episode, it is Jesse St. James who triggers Will's idea to get back at Sue through a seductive song and dance. Jesse suggests that they use Sue's vulnerability and love for Rod Remington to their advantage and perform a provocative rendition of "Tell Me Something Good" to throw her off her game during the upcoming Cheerleading Regionals competition. Will initially hesitates but eventually agrees, which leads to a successful performance and defeat of Sue's team.
