Where we left off: Our favorite diva was last seen singing around the streets of New York after her fiance broke off their engagement and sent her on a train to the Big Apple to pursue her dreams at NYADA.

What we want to see happen: A circa 2004 "Stripped" version of Rachel a la Christina Aguilera. OK, maybe not so X-rated, but I'd love to see her ditch the schoolgirl skirts. And her NYADA dance instructor, Cassandra (played by Kate Hudson), and a possible new love interest may just be the ones to help her.
