Puck-Ashley Relationship

UNDER CONSTRUCTION (EPISODES (1, 3, 4, 5 & 6) & TRIVIA)

The **Puck-Ashley Relationship** is the romantic relationship and eventual friendship between Noah Puckerman and Ashley Murdoch.

## Overview

In Special Education Ash rescues Puck after he spends 24 hours locked in a port-a-potty. Later at Sectionals Puck tells Ash not to worry but she tells him she's not nervous because she's just singing back-up for someone else and expresses her disappointment that it is Brittany dancing and not her.

In Silly Love Songs Puck asks her out on a date, telling her that he knows about her feelings for Sam and he can help her move on from him. She eventually agrees but ends up panicking and standing him up. She later apologises and agrees to try going on another date if they take things slow.

They officially start dating during Comeback after singing a duet together.

In Rumours Puck accuses her of cheating on him with Sam but she argues that she would never do a thing like that but she can't be with someone who doesn't trust her. They later break up when Ash confesses that, though she didn't cheat on Puck, she is in love with Sam and that it wasn't fair on Puck to string him along.

They remain good friends throughout the rest of the series, as Ash helps Puck graduate in Season Three and Puck gives her advice about her relationship with Sam.

Puck accuses her of cheating on him with Sam but she denies it, telling him that Rachel doesn't know what she saw and asks Puck why he can't just trust her. He tells her it's because he knows she still has feelings for Sam and Ash is unable to deny it, instead choosing to say that she had chosen to be with Puck, not Sam, but Puck retorts that that was only because Sam was dating someone else at the time and he can't trust her because she can't tell him what she's been doing with Sam. Ash says that she has a good reason but it's not her place to say and "if you think you can't trust me anymore, then why are we even still together?" Their conversation is then interrupted by the New Directions walking into the room.
