During Sandy and Danny Zucko's callback, Sam is seated in the auditorium between Joe and Brittany, at the start of the performance of Born to Hand Jive. He is seen on stage a few minutes after, joining to the performance along with some of his classmates.
After deliberations, Finn posted the results of the auditions. Sam is shown to be very thrilled when he bagged the role of Kenickie.
Everyone was amazed when Will makes the big announcement of being part of the Blue Ribbon Panel and that they will re-write the Arts Curriculum nationwide. However, Will's announcement of temporarily leaving Glee Club made Sam and the other Glee Club members upset.

Brittany also admits that she thinks Sam is a genius, an awesome guy, and that he makes amazing impressions. Sam then reveals that he regrets having never sung a love song with her, and proposed to Brittany to catch up on that. Sam then sings Somethin' Stupid with Brittany. At the end of the performance, Sam attempts to kiss her, but Brittany blocks him off. She tells him that, herself and Santana had many lesbian friends all over the country and that she is worried that they would attack Sam if she started a relationship with him (this is a reference to the real-life shippers of the Brittany-Santana Relationship). Although Sam assures her that he doesn't mind and tries to kiss her again, Brittany blocks him off again and escapes of the room.
He is later approached by Brittany again, who tells him that she has got a reservation for the VIP booth at Breadstix and wants Sam to go there with her.
Sam asks if she is taking him on a date, to which Brittany says that he is the only person that can make her smile ever since Santana left.

Sam corrects her to tell her that he believes in it too.
Sam and Brittany then have a discussion about the Mayan Apocalypse and later form a club to discuss the topic with some glee members, including Tina, Marley, Joe, Ryder, and Jake. They try to tell them how they feel about them but after Brittany says that Tina should give up acting, and Joe is unnoticeable, the Glee members leave, stating that they didn’t come to hear offensive things about themselves.

interrupts Tina and Blaine as they are about to kiss, and tells Blaine to go to the locker room to Finn and present the Warblers’ cheating conspiracy case. In the locker room, Sam presents his evidence to Finn – including a video that Artie and Joe Hart took of Hunter roid-raging at a coffee shop - the Warblers were using performance-enhancing drugs to bulk up unnaturally. Finn thinks the charges are far too serious - and the Warblers' reputations too sterling - to pursue without real evidence, so Blaine and Sam introduce him to Trent, a Warbler who refused to participate in Hunter and Sebastian's use of shots. He says that the Warblers’ reputation was ruined and it is acceptable for Trent to “betray” them by being evidence that they cheated.
Sam is first seen in Principal Figgins’ office with Brittany as they discover they've earned the highest and lowest SAT scores ever to be recorded at McKinley. Sam seems psyched because he believes he has received the high score, but he is surprised to learn that it is Brittany, who has earned that score, meaning that he has earned the lowest score. Brittany consoles Sam by assuring him his great body will earn him a good future, to which he expresses utter disappointment.
When Sam comes to school wearing only swimming trunks, Blaine suggests he's overcompensating for his disastrous SAT score. Sam rudely turns Blaine down and later conducts a "seminar" in which he offers tips and techniques for posing for the sexy calendar. The New Directions boys warm up with "bro-ga" - "yoga for bros" – and buff themselves up as Sam sings lead in a mash-up of Centerfold/Hot In Herre.
The glee guys shoot their calendar photos, but as everyone continues talking and discussing as Sam is posing, he starts stressing about maintaining his pumped-up look and runs back to the locker room saying he needs to buff up some more. Blaine follows him, and Sam tells Blaine that he believes his physical qualities are what hook people in to him because it is the only quality that makes him special and loved. Blaine urges him to lighten up on himself and relax about his body because everyone loves him for who he is, not just his looks.
Sam is called into Emma's office after Blaine enlists her help to find schools that accept and provide scholarships to students regardless of their SAT scores.

Despite Emma’s efforts, Sam still doesn't know how he will furnish his personal essay. In a few moments, Blaine comes into the classroom and shows Sam a video in which his friends reveal the many things he's accomplished and what he's brought to their lives. Moved to tears by his friends' words, Sam embraces Blaine, thanking him for his help.
Sam tells Artie that there are still a few empty calendar pages, and he’d love it if Artie considered filling them up by posing for them. Artie admits that he is concerned about being the only one that poses with a shirt on but Sam assures him he won't; which is why Sam retakes his calendar photo with a shirt on.
Sam and Artie are excited for the new year and Sam participates in This Is the New Year.
Later, Santana and Sam meet in the auditorium, where Sam tells Santana that her relationship with Brittany doesn't work because long distance relationships will not satisfy either Brittany or Santana.

Sitting quietly in the dark choir room, Will tells them to start texting and tweeting so that outside people know what’s going on and can send help.

Personality
Sam appears to be a nice and self-possessed guy, and sometimes a bit of a dork, with a quirky awkwardness when he speaks, at first never being sure what to say. As the new kid, he is still trying to find his way within the social networks of his new school, and seems content to make friends. When Finn offers him the chance to join the Glee Club, Sam seems genuinely excited at the idea, and by how welcoming the people he met are. However, like all kids, Sam fears social alienation, embarrassment, and temporarily backed out of joining for fear of being bullied. But even at the risk of being alienated, Sam has shown signs of being very honorable, as he refused to back out of a duet with Kurt, even though Finn warns him that performing a duet with another boy might cause him to be bullied. Sam states he gave his word to Kurt and that was too important to go back on.
Sam seems to become embarrassed easily by the attention he's given at times. He becomes increasingly self-conscious about his body, particularly when Mr. Schuester replaces him in the role of Rocky in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Although Will did it for other reasons, Sam assumed it was because he asked to not wear such tight-fitting shorts, and that stated he also felt grotesquely fat, despite Finn assuring him he was in perfect shape. This is also a regular feature in other episodes.
Despite being a nice guy, Sam is rather socially awkward and naive, and is generally oblivious to how much the girls find him attractive. He claims this is because of limited interaction with girls, due to previously attending an all-boys school. This appears to cause him to move a bit more quickly than most would in terms of interacting with girls, such as trying to kiss Quinn. He also appears to be very easygoing and likeable, as Santana declared him as the "new Glee favorite" in Furt. He is very determined to get what he wants, such as popularity or being Quinn Fabray's boyfriend. He is shown to care about Quinn and stays committed to her.
Adding to the fact that Sam would like to be popular, he has dated or kissed every girl in Glee Club that was once on the Cheerios and seems to always need a girl in his life. He also accepted Mercedes and Rachel's offer to go to prom.
Sam loves to play football and to sing, and he is apparently a bit of a nerd when it comes to things like the movie "Avatar." He often does impressions of various celebrities. He was only recently taught how to tie his shoes by Mr. Schuester, which was mentioned in the episode, The Substitute.
Sam seems to be insecure, having body issues (as seen by his insecurities in the Rocky Horror Glee Show) and wanting be more popular, looking very shallow in the process. His popularity issues (first stated in Auditions) has been a problem for him for a while. Ever since he began dating Quinn, he has been trying to boil up to Quinn's standards and to be a perfect boyfriend and is resulting in his nerdy side being ignored for awhile. He struggles with his dyslexia throughout the series also making it hard to take tests. He said, "After I take test my head starts to hurt," which he said to the guys in Choke.
When he returns in the episode Hold On To Sixteen, he seems to have gained a lot of confidence.
Sam met Kurt when he decided to join the New Directions and Kurt instantly believed he was gay due to his lips and the fact he dyed his hair. Kurt and Sam were going to be duet partners for a glee club contest. However Finn advised otherwise saying Sam was going to get enough heat from being in glee club alone.
Sam was fine with Kurt being gay and ignored Finn's advice. However Kurt decided he didn't want Sam to suffer because of him and told Sam he didn't need him to sing with. Sam showed loyalty towards Kurt by defending him from Karofsky and his bullying.
He was upset when Kurt left for Dalton however they remained friends. Sam was there to welcome Kurt back to McKinley. In the episodes throughout Sam shows he is close to Kurt and they are friendly to each other.
In Duets, after being slushied by the football jocks, Quinn attempts to help Sam deal with being an outcast due to being in Glee Club. Sam then asks Quinn to be his partner for the duet competition, and attempts to kiss her. Due to her past year and desire to get "back to normal," Quinn refuses the kiss and the duet partnership. However, thanks to the manipulation of Finn and Rachel, the two performed together and won a dinner at Breadstix. While there, the two bond and share their secrets. After Sam assures her that he is not gay, Quinn declares that they will use the coupons another day, as this would be considered their first date and that as a gentleman, Sam should pay for it.
In Never Been Kissed, Sam is seen with Quinn by a fireplace having make-out Quinn and Sam in Duets, singing "Lucky"
sessions. When Quinn asks him to say her name, Sam uses a cooling down method taught by Finn in which he is supposed to imagine Coach Beiste so that it turns him off, but the method backfires and he says Beiste's name instead. This leaves Quinn suspicious but later in the episode the New Direction boys reveal to Mr. Schue that it is a cooling down method, and Quinn becomes embarrassed and apologizes to Sam.
In Furt, Sam offers Quinn a promise ring and hopes to marry her someday, but she gives him a maybe. Later in the episode, she breaks into his locker and wears the ring, hinting that they're officially dating.
In Silly Love Songs, Quinn cheats on Sam and makes out with Finn, who gives Quinn mono. Sam finds out about that in Comeback. He had believed what Quinn had told him, namely that Finn was choking on a gumball and Quinn saved him. While backstage after the Justin Bieber Experience performs, Santana Lopez spills the beans about the truth with Finn and Quinn, causing Sam to break up with Quinn.
In Hold on to Sixteen, Sam returns to Lima and Quinn wants to begin dating him again so that he can help her raise Beth. Since Sam wants Mercedes back and because he believes her idea to be ridiculous, he tries to talk Quinn out of it instead.
Santana and Sam start dating in the episode, Comeback. They only start going out because Santana says that she could help his reputation. But, it is soon clear that she is only dating him to cover up the feelings she has for Brittany. Sam only agrees to the offer because he believes that Quinn cheats on him with Finn and that is how she and Finn both got mono, not because Quinn saved his life after he was choking on a gum ball, as they had told him. Sam and Santana are next seen in the choir room, with Santana on Sam's lap fixing his hair, while Quinn, looking forlorn, stares down at them.
Santana then starts dating David Karofsky in Born This Way, to which "He can have her" is the only thing Sam has to say, which confirms them to have broken up.
In Prom Queen, Rachel, Sam, and Mercedes don't have dates to prom. Rachel and Mercedes decide to have Sam go with them as a group of friends, and Jesse St. James eventually joins in too.

In New York, after Light Up the World, Sam and Mercedes share a hug. After returning from nationals, Sam and Mercedes run into Kurt and Blaine at the Lima Bean. They explain that they just ran into each other in the parking lot. After their conversation with Kurt and Blaine, they walk away and Mercedes asks, "Do you think they know?" to which Sam replies, "I don't think anybody knows." They smile and then they hold hands, revealing that they are secretly a couple. It is unknown why they have opted to keep their relationship a secret, or how long they have been together, but it is assumed that they started dating some time between Prom Queen and New York.
They decide to break off the relationship when Sam moves out of state. When asked about it, Mercedes claims that it was "just a summer fling" and that she is with her new boyfriend, Shane.
In Hold on to Sixteen Sam returns and Quinn asked him to help her raise Beth but he declines her offer because he wants Mercedes back. Mercedes claims that what they had was a summer fling but Sam believes it was something more. Sam claims he doesn't care how "big and bad" Mercedes' boyfriend is, and he is willing to fight to get her back. She smiles and blushes as she walks away. Mercedes later smiles and giggles at his performance in ABC.

This inspires Mercedes to purchase her dream to become a singer, and it is later revealed that it earned her a recording contract as a back up singer. They kiss then on-screen for the second time and are revealed to be a couple again in Prom-asaurus. They seem to have broken up prior to Season Four.
During Britney 2.0, Sam sympathises with Brittany and her struggles and leads her into the auditorium, where he is waiting to comfort her, probably showing his interest in her.
Sam runs for vice-president and Brittany for President from different parties in Makeover. Brittany suggests that they run from different parties since she doesn't want them to be enemies. Sam even went so far as to vote for his opposing party and not for his own as a token of their friendship. They become a couple in Swan Song. Sam tries to kiss Brittany but she backs away at first. Brittany locates Sam later and agrees to date him. It's then they kiss for the first time.
