"Grilled Cheesus" is the third episode of the second season of the American television series Glee, and the twenty-fifth episode overall. It was written by Brad Falchuk, directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, and premiered on the Fox network on October 5, 2010. Prior to its broadcast, series co-creator Ryan Murphy predicted the episode would be Glee's most controversial, as it focuses on religion and what God means to the members of the glee club. When Burt Hummel has a heart attack, the glee club rally around his son Kurt, attempting to support the Hummels through their various faiths. Meanwhile, club co-captain Finn Hudson believes he has found the face of Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich.
