New episodes of Glee return tonight, with a promise from Ryan Murphy: There's an "an amazing arc and an amazing season" ahead.

So the creator tells TV Guide, explaining how he has hired a new writing team that has "big opinions" on how to turn around a show that clearly focused too much last year on over-arching themes, societal messages and, well, Kurt.

"Before we did anything, we figured out where we were going," Murphy of the writing process for the season ahead. "Who graduates? Who doesn't? Do they go off into the ether or do they stay in Ohio? This time, we know what we're writing towards, which is great.

So, what can fans expect?

• Rachel and Kurt will work toward a career on Broadway together.
• Will and Emma will get into a relationship.
• Two New Directions members will leave.
• Sue will run for Congress... against Kurt's dad!
