After taking an extended hiatus, Glee addressed Monteith's death in "The Quarterback," a beautiful tribute episode that revealed Finn had died. "I've never seen a crew that you can't continue shooting because they've left the room sobbing. I struggled even working on it because what they felt, not just about Finn but Cory." In an In Memoriam piece penned for Entertainment Weekly in 2013, Murphy revealed the ending he and the writers originally envisioned for Finchel's journey on the show. "Rachel comes back to Ohio, fulfilled and yet not, and walks into Finn's glee club," he explained.
