 In addition to Karofsky 's newly revealed sexual orientation , other aspects of his personality have been explored . In " The Sue Sylvester Shuffle " , when the football team is forced to spend a week working with the glee club that Karofsky and other members have been bullying , the " softer side " of his personality is seen , especially when he 's performing with the club . After the club 's director surprises him with a compliment on his performing , Karofsky is the one who suggests that the team perform an extra musical number for the halftime show they are preparing for , though he comes up with a rationale that makes it sound like a necessity to keep up their social status rather than something he particularly wants to do . Adler said , " I feel like that it did make him happy and , obviously , he has some natural abilities that Mr. Schuester was able to spot . I don 't think he 's ever allowed himself to do that ever in his life , to dance or learn a song , especially to do that in public . ... Doing that was such an obstacle to overcome . " In " Furt " and " Born This Way " , it is revealed that he had been kind , a cub scout , and an " A " student . However , his behavior had changed for the worse in the former episode before returning to the good in the latter . Although the anti @-@ bullying club formed by Karofsky and Santana in " Born This Way " is created with ulterior motives in mind , Karofsky subsequently makes a tearful apology to Kurt in " Prom Queen " , and then insists that Kurt wait for his safety escort after the next class period .
