Episodes

Season Two

The Sue Sylvester Shuffle

When Azimio provokes the Glee club by insulting Rachel and Puck's performance, Sam holds Rachel back while she attempts to provoke the football team by kicking them.

Blame It on the Alcohol

After the song Blame It (On the Alcohol), Rachel is seen grabbing onto Sam's hand as she is a 'needy drunk.'

Rachel comforts Sam and helps him with his problems and instantly they become much closer friends. Rachel looks visibly upset when she sees Sam cry. She demonstrates concern with his situation, and, along with the rest of New Directions, buys back Sam's guitar for him. Rachel buys Sam chapsticks commenting on how cute his mouth is and asks Sam to attend the junior prom with her, but he declines the offer, stating that she is not his type. However, it is debatable as to whether he rejected the offer solely due to not being able to afford to take her to the junior prom, or, because he genuinely had no interest in attending as her date. Either way, that statement also made Rachel feel both hurt and embarrassed.

Prom Queen

Rachel, Sam, and Mercedes all went to prom together (their "prom on a budget") and they are seen hugging when Sam replies to Rachel and Mercedes' proposition by saying, "It would be my honor." During Kurt's win for Prom Queen, Sam is seen in one shot to have his hand on Rachel's shoulder. Rachel and Sam danced together during Dancing Queen, and they have their official junior prom photo taken together, alongside Mercedes. Despite going to prom together, Rachel dances with Jesse during the first half of the prom.

Funeral

Both of them are seen sitting next to each other in a Glee club meeting as well as at Jean's funeral when they're singing.

Season Three

Hold on to Sixteen

Rachel and Finn go to find Sam to bring him back to the New Directions. When Rachel and Finn see Sam "performing" at the strip club, Rachel asks Finn to give her a dollar so that she can get his attention. She then, along with Finn, convinces his parents to let him return to Lima, with the possibility of staying at her house. They are also seen hugging during the We Are Young performance.

Extraordinary Merry Christmas

Sam is seen smiling at Rachel while she sings River in the April Rhodes Civic Pavilion. Artie tells her that it is too depressing and doesn't relate to his vision of the holiday special. Sam defends her saying, "It's the sad things that make you remember what's really important." At the end of this episode Finn and Rachel join Sam and Rory on the street, collecting money for the Salvation Army.

Heart

During Stereo Hearts, Sam raps the song while he is moving closer to Rachel. He jumps up the table to steal a student's rose in order to give it to her. In the Choir Room, Rachel says to New Directions that she and Finn are getting married. Sam and some other New Directions members disagree, while others say they'll support them.

Saturday Night Glee-ver

During the performance of You Should Be Dancing, Sam and Rachel can be seen sitting next to each other.

Goodbye

Along with the rest of New Directions, Sam waves goodbye to Rachel when Finn decides to send her to New York by train.
