Quinn-Sam Relationship

The **Quinn-Sam Relationship** is the romantic relationship between Quinn Fabray and Sam Evans, more commonly known as **Quam** or **Fabrevans**. Their relationship starts at the beginning of Season Two in the episode Duets, and ends in the episode Comeback, where Sam finds out that Quinn cheated on him with Finn. The two appear to be friends once more in Rumours when Sam states that Quinn was helping him babysit his younger siblings.

In Season Three, Quinn tries to convince Sam to raise Beth with her, but Sam declines her offer. They became good friends again in Extraordinary Merry Christmas where they were seen helping at the homeless shelter. In Prom-asaurus, when Quinn stands up in front of everyone at prom, Sam states that "It's a prom miracle." They remain in good terms for the remainder of the series.

## Overview

Sam joins the New Directions in Duets and attracts the interest of Kurt Hummel and Ashley Murdoch. Kurt immediately assumes that Sam is gay because of his dyed hair and invites Sam to be his duet partner, and he accepts. Finn tries to talk Kurt out of it, telling him that Sam will have to deal with too much backlash for singing with a gay kid and will ultimately quit glee club. Kurt refuses saying that all he wants to do is to sing with Sam. Kurt is then seen talking to his dad, Burt, about Sam, and Burt suggests that Kurt should not smother Sam. Kurt changes his mind and calls off the duet with Sam for Sam's sake.

Sam then tries to make Ash his duet partner, since they had grown close ween she had helped him when he got slushied, and leads her into the empty astronomy room to practise their duet. When Sam leans in to kiss her, Ash backs off and panics, before running out of the room. Ash then finds Finn and tells him that she can't do the duet with Sam and that Finn should help Sam find a new duet partner.

Finn, with help from Rachel, manipulate Sam and Quinn into doing the duet together. They later meet in the hallway and agree to sing the duet.

Later, the two perform *Lucky* and end the song holding hands. As per Rachel and Finn's plan, Sam and Quinn win the competition and a free dinner to Breadstix. During their dinner, Sam empathises with Quinn's pregnancy last year. He tells her he dyed his hair, then the two seem to have a connection with each other, and at the end of the dinner, Quinn tells Sam to pay for the dinner instead of using the voucher for a free dinner. When Sam asks why, Quinn tells him that it's because a gentleman always pays on the first date, leaving Sam overjoyed.

In Never Been Kissed, Sam and Quinn are seen making out at Quinn's house. Quinn pulls Sam's hands off of her thigh and refuses to do a little "something, something" with him, despite Sam's protests. Sam later finds a way of cooling down when he is making out with Quinn - picturing Coach Beiste. Unfortunately, this backfires on Sam when he whispers "Beiste" instead of her name, while he is making out with Quinn. Quinn hears him, gets suspicious and, under the advice of Sue, publicly confronts Sam angrily. After realising that Sam was actually fantasising about Beiste to cool down around Quinn, Quinn is embarrassed and shocked, and apologises to him.

In Furt, Rachel calls on all of the girls in glee club with boyfriends on the football team to a meeting, Quinn included, though she denies Sam is her boyfriend. During the meeting, Rachel prompts the girls to get their boyfriends to confront Karofsky so he will stop bullying Kurt. Later, the boys (Mike, Sam and Artie - Puck was on probation from juvie, and Finn decided against helping), corner Karofsky in the locker room and threaten him if he does not stop bullying Kurt. The confrontation turns physical quickly with Karofsky pushing Mike into Artie and Sam tackles him, causing a brutal fight between the two of them until Coach Beiste steps in. Back in glee club, Sam is sporting a black eye which Quinn helps nurse, saying it's hot. Kurt thanks the boys for trying to help with his bullying situation, especially thanking Sam.

Meanwhile, Sam is determined to get Quinn to officially be his girlfriend. He brings her to the empty astronomy classroom, gets down on one knee, and asks if she would be his girlfriend, also stating that he wants to marry her someday. Quinn, seemingly torn, tells him that she will think about it. Later, at Burt and Carole's wedding, the glee club performs *Marry You*, split into different couples, with Sam singing a large part of the song with Quinn. After the wedding, Quinn and Sam talk by his locker. At the end of the conversation, Quinn points out that she is wearing Sam's ring, leaving Sam jumping in the air.

In Special Education, Sam and Quinn are awarded lead on the duet *(I've Had) The Time of My Life* for Sectionals, much to Rachel's dismay, because they won the Duets competition.

In The Sue Sylvester Shuffle, Quinn finds Finn after the football team wins the championship game, praising him for all of the good things he had done that week concerning the football team and glee club. She tells him it reminds her of why she loved him and then kisses him, realising her mistake and running off afterwards.

In Silly Love Songs, when Finn sets up a kissing booth to raise money for the glee club, Quinn is the only girl in school who refuses to kiss him. Sam confronts her about it, telling her that it seems suspicious that she won't kiss him, and she tells Sam that she is going to kiss him. When Quinn pays for a kiss at Finn's kissing booth, Sam is there to watch, making sure nothing happens. But when Quinn and Finn kiss, the two see fireworks. Quinn and Sam start to leave, but Quinn runs back to "get her purse," really whispering in Finn's ear to meet her in the auditorium later. Quinn and Finn begin fooling around with each other behind Sam's back and Santana, noticing that something is up between them, intentionally gives Finn mono, which he gives to Quinn. Sam refuses to acknowledge the possibility of them both having mono means that they were with each other.

In Comeback, Sam sees that Quinn is drifting apart from him. He starts The Justin Bieber Experience to woo her with *Baby* and *Somebody to Love* and Quinn rejects Finn, saying she wants to be with Sam instead. However, Santana finds Sam and tells him about Quinn cheating on him and, though he denies it at first, he eventually realises she is right. Santana also propositions him with the idea that dating her will make him more popular (and using sex as a bribe), Sam dumps Quinn and begins dating Santana, leaving Quinn heartbroken.

In Blame It on the Alcohol, Sam spends most of the time at Rachel's party making out with Santana. When Rachel asks Quinn if she is having fun, Quinn is visibly upset with Sam and Santana being together and making out in front of her. Santana was yelling at Sam saying, "You like her more than me she's blonde, perfect and so smart," referring to Quinn.

In Rumours, a blind item is posted in the school's newspaper implying that Sam and Quinn had been seeing each other in a motel room. Finn, wanting to make sure Quinn is not cheating on him, goes on a stakeout outside the motel with Rachel. However, the two see Kurt come out of a motel room with Sam, and later also see Ash leave, causing rumours that Sam is hooking up with Kurt and Ash. But when Finn and Rachel go on another stakeout, they see Quinn come out of Sam's motel room and hug him, which spreads a rumour throughout school that Sam is hooking up with Ash, Kurt and Quinn. After dealing with relentless teasing and insults from the glee club for interfering with relationships, Sam admits that he is homeless and living in the motel, saying that Kurt found out because Sam got a job delivering pizzas and delivered one to Dalton, Quinn found out because he goes to the same church as her, and Ash found out because she had noticed something was wrong and he had told her. The only reason they were there was because Kurt was giving Sam clothes to wearing and Ash and Quinn were helping babysit Sam's younger siblings. Quinn and Sam act kindly towards each other the whole episode, implying that they are both over their rough break-up and have reconciled their friendship.

In Homecoming, Sam states how Quinn had sex with Santana, from which he says he learnt in glee club, bumping into Quinn, causing her to laugh, as the TPPC go into chaos.
