Making for an emotional afternoon in front of the cameras, the cast of “Glee” were busy putting together material for the season three finale in Los Angeles on Wednesday (May 9).

Lea Michele (Rachel) shared an embrace with Cory Monteith (Finn) before boarding a train and leaving town with all of her classmates gathering together and waving goodbye.

Tweeting about the experience, Miss Michele wrote, “On set now shooting. It’s my second to last day of filming season 3! Tomorrows gonna be so sad!”

Among the cast members partaking in the shoot were Darren Criss, Matthew Morrison, Jenna Ushkowitz, Heather Morris, Jayma Mays and Dianna Agron, who posted a message upon day’s end, reading, “I don’t know all that is to come, but I know what a day like this means. Four years of love, light & support. To the cast, crew & creators. And to all of you that have shown your love along the way. We just can’t thank you enough. This has always been a very surreal experience. X”

While the third season finale will be airing on May 22, fans of the hit Fox show can look forward to a special two hour installment of “Glee” this Tuesday, May 15th beginning at 8/7c.
