In the all-new "Blame It on the Alcohol" episode, airing Feb. 22, "Principal Figgins (guest star Iqbal Theba) teaches the student body about the danger of underage drinking, and the glee club is personally touched by the message. Meanwhile, Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and Coach Beiste (guest star Dot-Marie Jones) ignore Figgins’ warning and get into a bit of trouble," according to press notes.
