When cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) is named co-director of the McKinley High glee club, she divides the group in two, hoping to turn the students against director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison). Sue takes the minority students— Santana (Naya Rivera), Artie (Kevin McHale), Kurt (Chris Colfer), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Mike (Harry Shum, Jr.), Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Matt (Dijon Talton)—for her group but only calls one of them by their normal name: Santana, “Wheels”, “Gay Kid”, “Asian/Other Asian (Tina is Asian #1, Mike is Asian #2), “Aretha”, and “Shaft.” leaving Will with only Finn (Cory Monteith), Rachel (Lea Michele), Quinn (Dianna Agron), Puck (Mark Salling) and Brittany (Heather Morris) in his group. Sue names her part of the club "Sue's Kids" and manipulates them, saying Will is discriminating against the students by making them sing backup. Sue also steals the piano, and the band, and tells Will that she wants to take over McKinley because she has hatred of people with curly hair. Will retaliates by failing all of Sue's cheerleaders in Spanish, which only exacerbates their hostilities.

Quinn and Finn go together for her ultrasound appointment, and they learn that she is expecting a girl. Finn, trying to be supportive, suggests they name the baby Drizzle, but Quinn is adamant she is having it adopted and is annoyed at his lack of understanding. Will, tired of his wife Terri's (Jessalyn Gilsig) refusal to let him participate in the pregnancy, sets up an appointment with Terri's OB/GYN so he can see their own baby on the ultrasound. With the help of her sister Kendra (Jennifer Aspen), Terri blackmails her doctor into faking the sonogram using Quinn's ultrasound DVD, in order to continue hiding the fact she isn't really pregnant. Meanwhile, Quinn jealously confronts Rachel about her relationship with Finn and threatens her. Rachel confronts Quinn about being a spy in the glee club for Sue and tells her that she will be kicked off the Cheerios once Sue finds out about her pregnancy.

School reporter Jacob Ben Israel (Josh Sussman) uncovers news of Quinn's pregnancy, and sexually blackmails Rachel. To protect Quinn and ensure Jacob will not release the story, Rachel agrees to give him her underwear, thinking it will keep him quiet. When both sections of the glee club stage a walkout in protest against Sue and Will's constant arguing, the two make amends and Sue steps down as co-director. Sue discovers the underwear in Jacob's locker and the reason for it, and makes him run the story about Quinn's pregnancy. She reveals her knowledge of the pregnancy to the club, and tells them that the whole school will soon know. A heartbroken Rachel stands up to Jacob after he broke his promise and he confesses saying that Sue made him do it. Quinn breaks down in tears in the hallway, and New Directions does a performance of "Keep Holding On" to show their support for her.

"Throwdown" was watched by 7.65 million US viewers and attained a 3.4/9 rating/share in the 18-49 demographic. [10] It was the 26th most watched show of the week in Canada, with 1.4 million viewers.

[12] The episode received mixed reviews from critics. Mike Hale of the New York Times felt that "Throwdown": "emphasized the show's increasingly dual nature" whereby "the students are in a pretty good musical, and the adults are in a below-average dramedy." [3] Wendy Mitchell of Entertainment Weekly deemed the episode "welcome light relief", [13] while Shawna Malcom of the Los Angeles Times called it "perhaps Glee's sharpest episode yet", describing it as "chock-full of standout scenes". [14] Eric Goldman for IGN rated the episode 8.8/10, criticizing it for "overly earnest, saccharine moments" but commenting that it was a "great example" of Glee "just being damn funny". [15]

Lynch's performance as Sue attracted praise, with Raymund Flandez of The Wall Street Journal and Liz Pardue of Zap2it both calling her portrayal Emmy-worthy. [16] [17] Entertainment Weekly writer Ken Tucker called her "the greatest Broadway-musical villain to ever co-star in a TV series", deeming "Throwdown" "possibly the best showcase yet for Jane Lynch", [18] while Malcom praised the interaction between Lynch and Morrison, writing that their scenes "crackled with electric wit". [14] The pregnancy storyline drew criticism, with Tucker opining that it "nearly derailed an otherwise-excellent episode" and writing: "there's got to be a better way to ground the series in a serious plot-line that doesn't make you wish the pregnancy plot was all just a non-musical dream sequence." [18] Malcom also criticized the storyline, asking if it could "please just go away already?" and writing that her patience with it was running out. [14]

Musical performances received mixed reviews. Flandez deemed the cover of "Keep Holding On" an "emotionally satisfying showstopper", however was critical of Quinn's cover of "You Keep Me Hangin On", which he called "thin and jarring". [16] Mitchell enjoyed the "No Air" duet, however felt it would be nice to see characters besides Finn and Rachel take the lead on the majority of songs. [13] Reviewing musical performances in the series so far on October 21, 2009, Denise Martin for the Los Angeles Times rated "Hate On Me" the fourth best performance to date, writing that Riley: "blew [her] away." [19] In December 2012, TV Guide also named the rendition one of Glee's best performances, describing it as "a real Beyoncé moment". [20] Aly Semigran of MTV observed that Quinn spontaneously bursting into song brought Glee "dangerously close to High School Musical territory". [21]
