In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jane Lynch previewed a little of what “Glee” fans can expect from the show’s fourth season.

Regarding her character, Sue Sylvester, and Sylvester’s new baby, she told The Hollywood Reporter: “Now she has this vulnerable little baby with Down syndrome just like her sister had Down syndrome and Becky has Down syndrome … and she will protect them like a momma bear.”
