Will is first seen in the pilot episode, For Your Entertainment, where he is debating giving up on Glee Club due to the disastrous year before. While at lunch, Emma Pillsbury and Shannon Beiste convince him to give it another shot, inspiring him to start an aggresive campaign to get kids to join. This entails offering solo spots at Sectionals, Regionals, and Nationals as a prize to the first six to join. Will takes their advice, which leads to Jaxon Pierce and Honey Berry to audition upon seeing a flyer that Will puts up. After both Jaxon and Honey's auditions Will is impressed and accepts them both into New Directions. Later that night, Will and Emma are surprised by Rachel Berry, Blaine Anderson, and Kurt Hummel, who stop by to see Will. Will reveals that he and Emma are to be married in November and he wants Kurt to plan the wedding and come be his show choir consultant. Kurt agrees, saying it may be on a reduced schedule due to working on Wicked, but he'd be honored. The next day, Miles Larson, Nicole Martin, and Kevin Rhodes audition and Will happily accepts them into New Directions. Bella James is the last to audition and she brings the house with an emotional and dramatic performance of Impossible, impressing Will greatly, Will is looking for a song for New Directions to sing at an assembly to boost the number of try-outs.
