Beth and Quentin are completely inseparable, and everyone knows it. Where Beth is, Quentin follows, supporting her every decision. Most of the time, anyway. 
== Significant Episodes ==
=== Season 1 ===
==== Pilot ====
The relationship is established very early on, as Quentin is the first person Beth tells of her need for excitement, and of her idea to restart the Glee Club.
They go to the teachers' lounge together, and have the exact same thought, instantly starting to recruit Shawn Larson as supervisor. It becomes clear that Quentin is a grounding influence for Beth, and it's revealed that he's been made the co-captain of the new club.
When Beth goes to try and recruit Viola James and Misty Erickson, Quentin follows, clearly knowing exactly what she's trying to do, despite her best attempts to act casual. However, Quentin gets distracted by Lyra Harper, by the time Beth's done, and she has to drag him away.
Both are in charge of the auditions, and then the first rehearsal. They agree that they have a lot of work ahead of them, but they have faith.
==== Edge ====
It's implied that the duo led You Can't Stop the Beat, and a few other songs, together. Quentin comforts Beth, when the club express their displeasure with the way things are.
Quentin's seen laughing when Beth mutters about Magnolia Berry's predictable song choice. Both are delighted by Danny Schuester's audition, and silently agree that he has exactly what the club needs.
==== Coming Out of My Cage ====
In the club room, Beth talks about Lyra joining the club, and teases Quentin for his crush on them, but he gives as good as he gets.
Later, Quentin discusses the way the two work, in regards to Glee, with his mother, Delilah. She calls them a great team, and he says they're the dream team, thus their nickname was born.
==== Popular ====
Quentin talks to Beth about choreography, but she's too distracted by Ricky Vincent. Quentin notices, and is amused by it. Later in the scene, Beth confesses her crush on Ricky to Quentin, who's shocked that she only just realised, and tells her that everyone knows, including his mother.
Beth tells the club that she and Quentin will work on the Invitationals setlist. Quentin tells her not to be too concerned by September Puckerman's absence.
==== Invitationals ====
This episode is a minor turning point in their friendship. Quentin's on the bleachers, during Beth's cheer rehearsal, working on their setlist. When Beth goes on a break, he tries to ask for her thoughts, but she can't stop staring at Ricky, or talking about him. She says it looks good, but Quentin knows she didn't look. Beth says she trusts him. She continues talking about Ricky, as Quentin grows bored of it. When he sings Help, it's clear that it's been going on for a while, in various different locations. At the end, he finally gets her attention, and she remains oblivious to his feelings.
When Beth comes to rehearsals late, and asks Quentin to go over rehearsal notes, he ignores her. She asks if he forgot the notes, and he denies it. He didn't forget them, and he's already sent them to Beth. Beth has no memory of it, and Quentin says it's because she didn't care enough to listen, too distracted by other things. (He avoids mentioning Ricky by name.) He asks if she's in or out, and she says she's in. Quentin tells her to prove it. He continues to call her out, saying it's clear to him that he's just her obedient pet. When Quentin says that everyone else is trying harder than Beth, she slaps him, to her own horror. He brushes off her attempts to talk to him, and gives her the rehearsal notes, torn from his notebook.
After the rehearsal, Quentin's part of the performance of Good For You, in Beth's imagination, a manifestation of her guilt.
The next day, while both alone, they sing All by Myself. Towards the end of the scene, Quentin starts to mention Beth, but stops himself.
When Beth calls her sister, Rachel, for advice, Quentin's name comes up quite a few times. She clearly feels guilty for it, and says how much she loves him, and how they're meant to be soulmates, and spend their lives together. Afterwards, she tries to call him, and gets no answer.
An hour before Invitationals, Quentin becomes increasingly aware of how much he needs Beth. He wrote the lead for her, despite her not showing up to rehearsals, which the others don't understand. Ophelia says Beth isn't coming, because she doesn't care anymore. She says that Beth probably hasn't even called, and Quentin confesses that he doesn't know, as his phone's been switched off. Shawn agrees that Beth isn't going to come, so Quentin reluctantly concedes that they should get back to rehearsing, only for Beth to enter! The two have an emotional reunion, apologise, and reiterate everything said earlier about them being soulmates. Quentin immediately helps Beth prepare for the show.
