Their break-up was made official in Diva, but they will always be best friends. In the episode I Do, she shared a one-night stand with Quinn Fabray. In Feud, she gets kicked out of Rachel's and Kurt's apartment because she accused Brody of cheating. She reconciles with the two after proving to the Brody situation to Rachel successfully (appreciated by Rachel), and moves back in.

This proves to be extremely effective as nearly all the guys that come across Santana become immediately hypnotized by her increased breast size. Santana seems pleased with the attention, except when those who are unattractive and unpopular are ogling her. Santana is demoted from Head Cheerio to the "bottom of the pyramid" after Quinn informs Coach Sylvester that Santana got a boob job. Sue then promotes Quinn back to head cheerleader, as she intends to use Quinn's past pregnancy as a sympathy factor to get money out of various church groups.

Furt

Santana becomes furious with Rachel, Quinn, Tina, and Brittany because they hold a girls' meeting about the fact that Kurt is being bullied by Dave Karofsky and she was not invited. Rachel dismisses her by stating that they have boyfriends on the football team who can help defend Kurt, while she is only having sex with Puck, and that Puck cannot help protect Kurt without risking being sent to juvie again. Angered by this, she seems intent on getting back at Rachel, and threatens Finn with the fact that she has taken his virginity. Despite this, she attends the wedding for Carole Hudson and Burt Hummel, as part of the wedding band/choir, where she sings backup vocals in Marry You along with the rest of New Directions. She also sings backup vocals in Just the Way You Are along with the members of New Directions. She seems surprised back in the choir room when Kurt says he is leaving for Dalton Academy, she gives Rachel a disgusted look when she says that Kurt will be competing against them.

A Very Glee Christmas

She accompanies Quinn, Sam, Tina, Mike, Mercedes, Lauren, Artie, and Brittany to the mall so they can re-enforce Brittany's belief in Santa Claus. Santana asks Santa for bling.

She sings back-up vocals in Welcome Christmas and is present with the club at Mr. Schue's house to decorate his tree.

The Sue Sylvester Shuffle

Santana can be seen practicing the routine with her fellow cheerleaders, and then she eventually talks and sticks up for Brittany when Sue wants to shoot Brittany out of her "Sueclear Weapon." Later, she chooses Cheerios over Glee, but then quits when Finn comes to talk them into staying, particularly Quinn. She's also not to fond of the idea of Sue shooting Brittany out of a cannon. She joins the Glee Club and football team as they perform Thriller/Heads Will Roll, which she helps sing lead vocals on.

Silly Love Songs

Santana wears normal clothes since she isn't a cheerleader anymore.

Rachel insults her, after the club begins to call her out, saying the only job she'll have "will be working on a pole" along with Lauren calling her a bitch. Santana gets offended and walks out of practice. Brittany comforts her as she vents about trying to be honest but people suck. When Puck performs Fat Bottomed Girls, she is clearly annoyed that he's singing to Lauren. Santana suspects that Quinn and Finn may be having an affair because of the looks they exchange and the "gassy infant look" on Finn's face. She decides to do what she does best, revenge. As revenge and to further prove her point, she gives them mono by kissing a sick boy then kissing Finn at his booth, effectively spreading the germs.

Comeback

Santana talks to Sam about his relationship with Quinn. She explains that she knows that Finn and Quinn are going behind his back and the only reason that he is still with Quinn is because he's in denial. In order to show that he isn't a pushover, Santana proposes that they start dating because of what Quinn and Finn having been doing. She is also seen wearing Rachel's outfit along with Tina and Quinn.

Blame It on the Alcohol

Santana attends The Rachel Berry House Party Train Wreck Extravaganza with the rest of the club, proceeding to get drunk with the rest of the members. She is seen making out with Sam a lot in Rachel's basement. Finn describes Santana as the "weepy hysterical drunk," as she is crying and yelling at Sam, accusing him of liking Quinn more. She gets jealous when Sam and Brittany kiss in Spin the Bottle. They all come to school hung-over, and perform Blame It (On the Alcohol), where Santana has a solo. When New Directions performs Tik Tok at the WMHS alcohol awareness assembly, Santana and Brittany throw up in the middle of the performance and in the performance Santana vomits in her hand. After they recover from their hangover, Santana thanks Mr. Schuester for being there for them when they need him.

Sexy

Santana's relationship with Brittany is explored on a much deeper level. At the beginning of the episode she walks up to Brittany and asks her if she wants to come over to her house and watch Sweet Valley High and "get their cuddle on," hinting that Brittany has still been hooking up with Santana even though she's dating Artie. While at Santana's house, Brittany wants to talk about their feelings for each other because their relationship confuses her but Santana refuses to talk or be given a label. However, she does decide to sit down with Brittany and Holly Holliday to discuss the nature of their relationship. Still unable to fully open up, Holly suggest them to sing a song and Santana has the perfect one already figured out. The trio sing Landslide and throughout the song Santana becomes extremely emotional and even cries.

After the song is over, she hugs Brittany and when she asks her is that how she feels, Santana replies "Yes." However, she snaps at Rachel's comment on their performance about expressing their feeling through the song stating "Just because I sang a song to Brittany, doesn't mean you can label me. Clear?" Later, Santana approaches Brittany at her locker and finally opens up. She says that the only reason she is a bitch is because she is angry that she can't show all the feelings she is holding in for Brittany. She is afraid of what will happen to her if she does, using Kurt as an example. She states that she only wants to be with Brittany and that she loves her and only her. Brittany tells her she loves her back, but also loves Artie and won't break up with him because it wouldn't be right and it would hurt him. Santana leaves, angry and heartbroken. Later in Celibacy Club, Santana appears even more cynical after the incident and stares sadly at Brittany sitting next to Artie. She finally discovers that she is a lesbian.

Original Song

Santana's relationship with Brittany is explored a bit more, showing that due to the events in Sexy, she is hurt by the fact that Brittany rejected her for "Stubbles McCripple Pants" (Artie). After deciding that New Directions will perform original songs, Santana says that everyone should have a chance to write an original song for a Regionals contender. Later, she sings a song for Sam, called Trouty Mouth, with an almost sarcastic tone, where she ends up embarrassing him and his large mouth, which causes him to stop her in the middle of the song. He also holds up a 'HELL NO' sign when she proposes singing it again At Regionals Santana sang backup when singing Loser Like Me. After the New Directions had won at Regionals, the whole team elected a MVP; Rachel. It is found that even Santana voted for Rachel, despite finding her annoying.

A Night of Neglect

Santana mentions that even though they won Regionals she still got slushied. She then refers to this slushie later on when she stands up to Karofsky for Kurt and Blaine right before the benefit concert, mentioning she keeps razor blades in her hair. After defending Kurt and Blaine, she receives word that Sunshine Corazon is not coming to the benefit and neither are her Twitter followers. After Mercedes comes back, she, along with the rest of the club, go and watch her sing Ain't No Way.

Born This Way

Santana tells everyone that they can't lie by saying there is nothing they would change about themselves. She says that "If you see something you don't like, you should change it," perhaps defending her own breast enhancements. Later she is seen in the corridor looking longingly at Brittany, musing that if she were to become Prom Queen, she might be able to trick Brittany into being with her by making it "law." She hatches a plot to win Prom Queen by having a "popular" guy on her arm, but as Sam walks down the hallway and does an impression of Sean Connery she explains in a voiceover that she doesn't consider Sam popular enough yet. She then notices Karofsky checking out Sam's butt and decides his partnership will win her the crown.

Later, at the coffee shop (she is once again staring at Brittany), but listens to Blaine and Kurt's conversation, mentioning Dave. Blaine says that he would be perfectly fine if Kurt were to come back to McKinley, just as long as he was safe. This is when she thinks up her plan then gets up and leaves saying "I gotta gay... GO! Go. I have to go." She decides that the key to winning Prom Queen would be to get Kurt back so she confronts Dave and tells him that she knows he's gay and that she plays on the same team. She decides that she and Dave will be "beards" (using each other as cover to appear heterosexual). She says that this will mean they will "Win Prom King and Queen and rule the school." When he asks "What if I say no?" she blackmails him, saying if he doesn't go along with it, she will tell everyone he's gay. Convinced, Dave tells the New Directions (obviously scripted by Santana)

how sorry he is, saying that he's really ashamed of himself and that she made him see what consequences his bullying can have. Santana joins him in front of the rest of the New Directions telling them that she took it upon herself to change Dave and announces that they fell in love in the process, much to everyone's disgust. Santana and her new "beard" then form a new club known as the "Bully Whips," which, as the name says, fights bullying. She later reveals her shirt for the Born This Way number, which says "Bitch." Brittany gives her another shirt saying "Lebanese," but what she really meant was "Lesbian." Santana refuses to wear it, scared of other people's reaction and decides not to perform. Instead she watches from the seats alongside Dave, but wearing the "Lebanese" shirt instead of the one she made.

Rumours

Brittany calls out Santana in her internet talk-show "Fondue for Two," stating that she plays for "the other team," indicating that she's a lesbian. The next day, "The Muckraker" writes about "a prom queen candidate who spends most of her time in the closet," whom everyone recognizes as Santana. She confronts Brittany, who says that what she meant is that she used to be on the Cheerios, to which Santana retorts that she could of put it differently. Meanwhile, Artie begins to have doubts about nature of Brittany's relationship with Santana and demands the truth from his girlfriend. After Brittany explains why it isn't cheating, Artie tells her that Santana is manipulating her, which Brittany denies, resulting in him to tell her that she's stupid. This hurts Brittany, and she goes to Santana for comfort.

She takes her to the music room "to express her feelings for her (Brittany) in private," referring to Brad as "furniture," and following the week's assignment, sings Songbird, being very emotional throughout the whole song. Brittany then asks Santana would it make it easier for her if she "came out" first and invites her to be her guest in "Fondue For Two," where Brittany would ask her to the prom and support her campaign for the prom queen. Santana accepts, but an hour before the show she texts Brittany simply saying "I can't." Later, Jacob asks Santana about the vicious rumor left on their website about her and Karofsky having sex in the back seat of a car parked at the cemetery. After happily refusing to comment, Jacob asks if she would like to make a comment on the fact that he looked up the IP address of the person who posted that rumor, which turned out to be her. Santana states that her computer was stolen, and that her and Dave are going strong and are very excited about the prom king and queen campaign. Jacob finally asks is she in love with Dave, and are they "soulmates," so to speak, which she agrees to. Even though she sounded very certain professing her feelings for Dave, Santana was looking at Brittany (who seemed very disappointed) while answering Jacob's last two (and the most important) questions. As he walks away, the two glance at each other.

Prom Queen

Santana decides she will be "the law-and-order prom queen candidate" by loudly and ostentatiously protecting Kurt from anti-gay bullying. At the prom, Santana and the other candidates wait on stage and hope to be crowned Prom Queen. Dave Karofsky wins Prom King, but Santana and the other contestants are shocked when Kurt is elected Queen. Upset over the loss and feeling like an outsider, she tells Brittany that after Nationals, she is going to ditch McKinley High and go live in "a lesbian colony. Or Tribeca." However, she returns to the gym to sing Dancing Queen with Mercedes for Kurt's victory dance.

Again, in the choir room when Rachel told everyone that she is planning an anti-prom, Santana tries to deter Rachel from her plan by insisting that she face the truth: she's upset and disappointed, but she's also acting petty, potentially ruining one of the last nights they'll all have to spend together before graduation.

Sam asks her if she heard about Mike, so she goes to him and Tina. They told her about Mike going to a Dance school in Chicago so she smiled and congratulated Mike, but then began to doubt herself, wondering to herself why she hasn't been offered a recording contract like Mercedes since she thinks she is just as talented as the other glee club members with bright futures.

She and Quinn spent the rest of their time trying to persuade Rachel from doing the topless scene. She explain to Rachel that those stuff will follow you around like her sex tape with Brittany did, making Rachel realize that she will regret going topless later in life. Santana later says that she and Quinn cares about Rachel and are actually putting her in mind first. After Rachel decides not to do the topless scene, the three sing, Love Song, in one of the NYADA auditorium. They group hug afterwards and Rachel asks them to stay longer as she wants to buy them dinner. While they are leaving, Santana says she likes New York and may decide on staying. Later, she is seen when Blaine shows a video to Sam of all the McKinley people pointing out the good things of Sam. Santana says he helped her to be inspired to write an original song, and starts to sing a line of Trouty Mouth.

Diva

Santana returns to McKinley as a surprise guest performer for diva week, performing Nutbush City Limits with the Cardinals cheerleading squad.

She confronts Brittany about not telling her she was dating Sam and says that she just left a comment on her favorite rizzoli and isles lesbian subtext blog when she heard the news from Tina. She then introduces Elaine as her new "girlfriend" and gives her a peck on the lips to make Brittany jealous of her. Santana later confronts Sam in the auditorium, dueling him in singing Make No Mistake, She's Mine while unbeknownst to both of them, Brittany watches by the entrance. In her office, Sue confronts Santana with her discovery that Santana dropped out of college a month ago. Santana explains that she hated it because everyone thought that she was being a bitch when all she did was just being "brutally honest" with people, and begs Sue not to tell her mother. Sue counters by offering Santana a job as her protege and eventual successor as coach of the Cheerios, telling her to come back when she has a definite answer for her.

Santana finds Brittany in the auditorium and expresses her disappointment for her being with Sam, as she thinks she can do better. Brittany says she won't break up with Sam and also reveals Elaine confessed to her that she was faking a relationship with Santana, who paid her off. Brittany knew Santana dropped out of college, and encouraged her to follow her dreams and to find a real girlfriend instead of a best friend. She then invites Santana to dinner, together with Sam. 

Santana declines and remains in the auditorium alone, breaking into Girl On Fire. Over the course of the song, she makes her way out the halls of McKinley. She exits through the doors and re-emerges in New York, in a scene mirroring.

As the song ends, she arrives at Kurt and Rachel's apartment in New York. When they open the door, perplexed by her unexpected arrival, she enters and informs them she is moving in.

I Do

In this episode, she comes along with Quinn to Will's wedding. Multiple times, after seeing Brittany and Sam together she mentions that she hates Valentine's Day. Throughout the reception they have fun, sharing flirtatious jokes while drinking alcohol at the bar with her Fake I.D. Quinn later advances the flirting, which Santana liked. She is later seen dancing with Quinn. She sings in We've Got Tonite and ends up with Quinn in a hotel room, where they had sex, after Quinn's curiosity about doing it with a girl. After that, she suggests to Quinn they should do it again.

Girls (and Boys) on Film

At the beginning of the episode, Santana is bitter because she is snow bound with a bunch of 'musical theater queens.' She asks Adam where he's from and he says he's from Essex in England. Santana says that she's never heard of Essex. Rachel then comes out of the bathroom and tells Santana that she's going to have to move out because the apartment is hers and Kurt's sanctuary, and she makes her feel uncomfortable. However, Kurt calms them both down and suggests they sit down and watch a movie together. Santana says that she's been through their DVD collection. All the DVDs are baby themed and Rachel says she doesn't want to watch any of them, so Kurt suggests that they watch Moulin Rouge, which Santana doesn't want to do. When watching Moulin Rouge, after Kurt claims that the reason for his tears is that 

his non-existent contact lenses are bothering him, Santana says that she would have thought he was crying because he and Blaine used to always say how it was their dream to sing Come What May at their wedding. Kurt swiftly tries to change the subject, but Santana starts going on about something else anyway. She tells Rachel, Kurt and Adam that she doesn't trust Brody. She had previously searched the whole apartment and found $1200 in cash and a pager belonging to Brody. She says that the only person who carries a pager and that much money is a drug dealer, so she is under the impression that Brody is a drug dealer. Later, Kurt suggests that they finish watching Moulin Rouge before they lose power again, to which Santana promptly disagrees. They decide to vote on it, and Santana is ultimately out-voted. She then says, "Oh, but what about Brody's vote? Or do drug dealers not get to vote?" Rachel protests that he's not a drug dealer, and to prove it, she calls him to ask where he is. When Rachel is calling Brody to ask where he is, Santana imitates somebody who snorts cocaine. After Rachel hangs up the phone, Kurt quietly whispers to Santana that he's 'with her,' meaning that he agrees with her about Brody. At the end of the episode she walks into the apartment and sits down next to Rachel. She seems happy and says that she finally feels that she's somewhere she belongs. She then goes and insults Brody again, which annoys Rachel profusely. Rachel seems sad, and since they're alone, Santana decides to take advantage of the opportunity to ask Rachel about the pregnancy test that she had previously found when snooping around in the bathroom. At first, Rachel says that she doesn't know what Santana is talking about,but Santana keeps pushing for answers. Rachel tries to sound threatening when she says that Santana had no right to be snooping, but instead she is teary eyed and sounds close to tears. Santana reassures Rachel that she's her friend and she can trust her, and asks her to just tell her what's going on. Immediately, this causes Rachel to break down in tears, and Santana immediately goes and pulls Rachel into her arms to comfort her whilst she whispers, "Oh God." Rachel is hysterical so Santana holds her close and rubs her back soothingly whilst saying, "You're gonna be okay. It's okay." At this time, Santana looks very concerned and looks slightly teary eyed herself. Santana then lays her chin on Rachel's back and says, "It's gonna be okay," once more.

Feud

The episode begins with Santana and Rachel at a hospital. Santana is there to support Rachel while she waits for her pregnancy test result from the doctor, which turns out to be a false alarm. When Rachel brushes off the ordeal as nothing, Santana gives Rachel a small lecture about how she should think about the decisions she is making in her life. The next day, Santana returns to the apartment and notices Brody's clothes. She begins to have mini rant about Brody which leads to her and Rachel having an argument. She uses this time to inform Rachel on how much Rachel has changed since High School and it is not for the better. Rachel tells Santana she is wrong about Brody and Santana responded that her 'Mexican Third Eye' is never wrong. After their fight, Santana enters the bathroom while Brody was in the shower, searches through Brody's stuff and retrieves a pager.

Next, Santana confronts Brody at NYADA, thus interrupting his dance class. They get into an fight, during which Santana calls Rachel and Kurt her family. She tells she knows what he is (a gigolo) and that he should move out and threatens to destroy him if he didn't comply. Then she performs Cold Hearted for him with the NYADA female students as back up dancers.

Santana returns home happy and ready to celebrate because she had just got a bartending job at Coyote Ugly, only to be stopped by Rachel and Kurt. They tell her they need to have a family talk, which they do.

They talk about her incident with Brody earlier. This lead to an argument about Brody and her being a bad roommate, resulting in her being kicked out of the apartment. Santana left, claiming she is going to stay with Emmy winner, Lena Dunham. Later, Santana pretends to be one of Brody's clients and when Brody enters to the hotel room she surprises him. He pleads with her not to tell Rachel, she dismisses him and tells him he should be speaking to someone else. Then Finn enters from the room, revealing himself to Brody and Santana leaves them to talk.

Guilty Pleasures

Santana is seen doing Kurt's guilty pleasure montage sitting on the couch in their apartment. Santana is bickering with Rachel and Kurt, this time in the bathroom, because she doesn't have any shelf room for her products. Kurt wants Santana to wait on telling Rachel about Brody until after her big audition as it will distract her from her goal, which Santana agrees upo

n only if Kurt gives her extra room. Santana then offers to cheer Rachel up by playing an innocent little prank on Kurt, but when the two girls go in to put his hand in a pot of warm water, they see his little secret. Santana is really shocked. Kurt reluctantly introduces the girls to Bruce and makes it clear that they cannot borrow him. Kurt gives Santana and Rachel their own special pillows and Santana proceeds to tell Rachel that Brody is a gigolo. Santana and Kurt bond over a The Facts of Life marathon while cuddling with their boyfriend/girlfriend pillows when Rachel comes home. She thanks Santana and her third Mexican eye and states that she is ready for her new permanent roommate. Santana smiles at that. Later Santana joins in on Mamma Mia.

Lights Out

Santana entered into the apartment in New York with and old furniture she has found and she says "With a little TLC and three clicks from Kurt's ruby slippers, this bad boy would be salvageable." Rachel interrupts her and then asks her to take a seat and talk to her. She replied by telling her that if they are going to discuss about Rachel's Funny Girl callback, she recommends her best track ever Run, Joey, Run. Rachel and Kurt tell her to try to do something with her life and that Tina told them that she is now a go-go girl. Rachel says that she is the most talented person she had ever known after she and Kurt. Santana says that she is just trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. After Kurt finds out that Isabelle wanted some help with the New York City Ballet Gala, he asked Santana and Rachel to help them with that, which Santana refuses at the beginning but then Kurt convinced her by saying she can keep a designed dress from the legendary Vogue.com vault. At the New York City Ballet Gala, Isabelle asked Santana how she feel about Cherry Jones and she says "whatevs." Isabelle tells Kurt and Rachel that they will be seeing the show from the wings with her. She asks Santana if she wants to join them and Kurt says that she doesn't like ballet. But Santana replies that she actually took ballet lessons her grandmother put her in when she was little because her father gets mad about her ´boys attitude´. She only took few lessons but she felt that "she felt safe there, not different" and that "she was part of something beautiful." That's when they started singing At the Ballet. During the performance, they all reminisced how they loved ballet as a child. Then, Santana admitted she loves to dance but she doesn't know what she wanted to do or how to start it. Isabelle advised her that taking baby steps will be okay.

In NYADA, Santana comes to class late saying she wants to make an entrance. Her new ballet instructor then told the class that taking ballet extension classes doesn't mean that they can get to NYADA as a real student. She answered back saying the last thing she wants to do is to pay 30 grand to do something that she is a Super Wonder Woman at. The instructor asks her why she is even there. She answered saying that she is there to do some reintroducing with dance. The instructor told the class to start with some Pliés and when Santana is doing them, she imagined her little self doing pliés. The little Santana says "Don't forget me again, okay?" and Santana says "I won't, I promise" and they hugged each other, then Santana said "I've got you now."

All or Nothing

In the episode All or Nothing, Santana is first called by Sam, she is seen changing her clothes and wearing a sport bra. Sam asks her for help after a break-up with Brittany to which she seems fine about, but when Sam mentions that Brittany decides not to perform at Regionals, Santana knows something is definitely wrong and Sam asks her for urgent help, for he would help her if she needed any assistance.  When Santana returns to Lima, she seems to have light brown highlights in her hair. We see Santana back in Ohio, on Fondue For Two with Brittany and Lord Tubbington. Brittany introduces her as her former "lady lover,"

Santana gives to the camera a little smile. During this part you can see the words "Brittana is real" at the botton of the take. Brittany thanks her again for taking the Lima Express all the way from New York City to be there, Santana replies that she actually came to Ohio because she wanted to talk to Brittany, not for doing a show. They start a true or false game and Brittany asks about Kurt and Rachel's activities in NY, but Santana replies that it's false and she wishes they were at least that exciting; after this Santana replies that's enough and turns the camera off. Brittany asks her what is she doing, Santana tells her to stop and asks what is going with her, Brittany is acting like a completely person and that's making her sad. Brittany tells her to get over it. Santana replies that she still cares about her and that she's not being herself. Brittany says that what she is about to tell is going to change everything. Santana can be seen later in the audience as Emma joins Will, Santana commenting on Emma's shirt and the colour of white that she chose, which isn't very lucky apparently, to which Will hints something about their love.

Before the New Directions' Regionals performance, Brittany tells to the Glee Club that she has something to say, Santana gives her a sad but understanding look. Brittany tells her about her admission to MIT and start talking about all the people that are in the room. At the end, in tears she goes to Santana and hugs her tighly, she stars sobbing harder and Santana looks like she is holding back tears and tells her she doesn't need to say anything. After all, actions speaks louder than words. Santana is seen cheering Brittany and the New Directions during I Love It. During All or Nothing, Santana wipes her eyes with a tissue, handing it to Kurt, who also does the same. The New Direction's win and Santana, Kurt and Emma applaud the group. 

Brittany can be seen walking behind everyone, slowly brushing her hair as the sparks slowly turn off. She faces the audience seats, the auditorium empty. She hears footsteps approach, noticing Santana. Santana reaches out her hand and lifts Brittany and together, they hold each other as they walk out. In the Choir Room, Emma and Will announce their plans to finally marry instead of having the pressure of an actual reception and all that planning. Santana is present during the ceremony, humming the Wedding March during Emma's walk to where Will and the priest is standing. She along with the rest of the group clap and cheer when Emma and Will finally tie the knot. 

Personality

Santana, like Quinn, has been primarily shown to be something of a cheerleading stereotype. Quick to pass judgment and insult and even bully other people, Santana seems to find no issue flaunting her spot on

the social ladder that is High School, and is not happy about being made co-captain of the Cheerios together with Becky in season three. However, she refrains from making fun of her disability, but it's unclear if it was due to having some sympathy for Becky or just out of fear of Sue, who had a sister with the same disability she loved very much. At the beginning of series, she acts more like a sidekick to Quinn, following her orders and usually letting her do all the talking. This changes when Quinn is kicked off the Cheerios by Sue due to being pregnant, thus making Santana the head cheerleader. She joins Glee to help Quinn keep an eye on Finn and to spy for Sue. Santana also demonstrates occasional signs of kindness, usually with the Glee Club after a good performance or in her interactions with Brittany. She has admitted that she loves being in Glee Club, and that it is the best part of her day. She follows up this confession with instructions that if anyone asks, they are to say that she hates it, showing that she cares a lot about her image. Still, after believing Glee is over, Santana shows real emotion and cries.

She is extremely emotional at certain times for ridiculous reasons (losing tanning privileges or missing out on the Breadstix passes), and is often comforted by Brittany, who seems to bring out all the best in her. Santana has grown to be a better person through Glee, she actively admits to hating the people in the club before joining but now views them as equals, if not friends. Still, she can be seen as an antagonist because of her mean streak which is mainly displayed in the show, for instance, berating Rachel and other glee club members.

Santana gets jealous quite easily, especially when it concerns her sexual partners. She has displayed hostility towards Rachel, Quinn, Mercedes, Lauren and Artie when they are seen to be in a relationship with Puck or Brittany. When Puck sings to Rachel, she is noticeably peeved. When Quinn babysits, shows romantic interest in Puck and states that he actually cares about her, implying that he doesn't care about Santana, she angrily threatens her and tells her to stay away from him. When Mercedes begins dating Puck, they get into a singing battle before their conflict almost gets physical. When Puck begins to show interest in Lauren and sings a song to her, Santana gets into a physical fight with her and threatens her, ending up going to the nurse's office. When Artie and Brittany are together for the first time, she breaks them up when she tells Artie that Brittany is only using him for his voice. However, her threats and plans always backfire as the relationships she attempts to sabotage usually end up growing stronger than ever before, upsetting her even more. It is very possible that she does this because she is simply lonely, which is why she wants to show off her image and reputation. Though she wants Finn to let out that they slept together (even if it means that Rachel might break up with Finn), she is seen during the wedding reception with an unrecognizable look on her face. In another case, when the glee girls (except Mercedes) have a meeting over Kurt's situation with Karofsky, Santana is annoyed that they had a meeting without her. Even after finding out what it was about, Santana is genuinely hurt, but hides it with her "mean girl" attitude.

Santana acts confident but it has been proven on few occasions she's actually insecure, like when she got a boob job over the summer so people would notice her more. She gets incredibly hostile when her weaknesses are exposed, examples including attacking Quinn in the hall for telling Sue about her "summer surgery" and having Santana knocked down to the bottom of the pyramid. It's also been shown that while she has no problem insulting and putting down others, she can "dish it out but can't take it," and gets upset when the glee club members turn on her, showing she cares a lot about what people think of her.

In Sexy she admits that she acts like a bitch all the time because she's angry due to the fact that she has so many feelings for Brittany that confuse her and she doesn't deal with because she's afraid of dealing with the consequences. These feelings also scare her because she's afraid of the looks, the talks, and what people will say about her behind her back if she comes out. There initially was confusion over whether Santana is bisexual or a lesbian. Naya Rivera said that Santana was bisexual, but it was not an official statement. In Sexy, Santana says that she's attracted to both girls and guys. Later in the episode, she confesses that she has no interest in Finn/Sam/Puck, and that she loves only Brittany. But after Brittany refuses to dump Artie (just a "stupid boy," according to Santana), Santana disparages her for her relative sexual fluidity. Santana remains in a relationship with Sam, however the two immediately join the Celibacy Club, indicating Santana has realized that she doesn't genuinely want to have sex with men. Brad Falchuk later stated that Santana is indeed a lesbian; she realized it for the first time in Sexy, and is struggling to accept it in subsequent episodes. By Season Three, she becomes a much nicer and caring person and even becomes friends with her old enemy, Rachel.

In Season Four, Santana seems much more caring and compassionate towards people. This is shown in Thanksgiving when she's assigned as Marley's mentor. At the end of Come See About Me, Marley looks very uncomfortable, so Santana asks her if she's okay because she looks like she's about to vomit. Santana also finds laxatives in Marley's bag and demands an explanation from Marley, showing that she cares about her. She then confronts Quinn, who is Kitty's mentor, about it because she is certain that it's Kitty who gave Marley the laxatives. When Marley faints at Sectionals Santana is shown pointing to the stage in concern. Also, in Girls (and Boys) on Film Santana confronts Rachel about the pregnancy test that she found in the bathroom. Rachel breaks down in Santana's arms about it, to which Santana looks extremely concerned as she comforts a sobbing Rachel.

Sexuality

Santana describes herself as a "closeted lesbian" in Born This Way. She is seen to be something of a nymphet in the first two seasons. She has dated and slept with many guys, but has also had sex with Brittany on what is implied to have been multiple occasions as shown in the episode Duets she said to Brittany that making out was a "nice break from all that scissoring." It seems, however, that she is either afraid or embarrassed by her same-sex attractions, when she tells Brittany that she isn't making out with her because she is in love with her, even though Brittany said nothing of the sort. It would make sense in the context, though, because Brittany had proposed a duet by famous out singer Melissa Etheridge. In addition to her relationship with Brittany, Santana's sexuality is addressed in the fifteenth episode of season Two, Sexy, after Holly Holliday returns to McKinley as a Sex Ed teacher. She says she "doesn't know" when she is asked if she thinks she might be a lesbian, but admits having been attracted to both men and women in the past.

Santana, after asking Holly Holliday help to express her feelings through a song, finally admits to being in love with Brittany, and though Brittany admits to loving her back, she can't bring herself to break up with Artie - who she also loves - to be with Santana. After the song, and deeply considering her feelings for Brittany, she explicitly compared her situation with Kurt's, tells Brittany "I don't want to be with Sam, or Finn, or any of those other guys; I just want you!," refers to Artie as "just a stupid boy," and makes a disparaging remark about Brittany's evident sexual fluidity, leading some fans and commentators to believe she is a lesbian which was later confirmed at Paley Fest 2011. Brad Falchuk was quoted as saying in upcoming episodes regarding Brittana, they want "Santana to come to grips with being a lesbian and how she deals with it." They will "explore Brittana as individuals but it will definitely come back to Brittana." Falchuk added. "We want to make sure everybody is included. Santana is a lesbian. She might not be ready to come out yet, but she is." In Born This Way during a voiceover Santana admits that she is a closeted lesbian, and later tells Dave Karofsky that they play on the same team. When Brittany gave her a shirt she made her for the Born This Way number that said "Lebanese"(supposed to say lesbian), Santana tells Brittany that she can't tell anyone about it and doesn't perform in the number. But, she is later seen in the audience wearing the "Lebanese" shirt. The "lesbian" storyline continues into the third season, and leads to Santana being pushed out of the closet by Finn. She fully admits to it and even tells her parents that she is a lesbian.

Relationships

Brittany Pierce

Main article: Brittany-Santana Relationship (Brittana) 

Santana and Brittany are both members of the Cheerios and best friends. They were considered just friends until Sectionals, when it was discovered they had slept together. This was confirmed during a promo on the Fox website; "Glee-wind: Season One Relationships," where they are labeled as best friends with benefits. They are always seen together, holding hands or cuddling. They later agree to go on a date together with Finn. They made out in the episode Duets (and are implied to have done so many times before), and although Santana says she is not in love with Brittany, she seems to contradict this when, out of jealousy, she persuades Artie to break up with Brittany; this effort is ultimately fruitless as Artie and Brittany eventually resume their relationship. Santana still loves Brittany, though, as shown in Special Education, where she seems to give Brittany more attention than the other glee club members during her performance. In Sexy Santana admits to Brittany that she loves her and wants to be with her.

In Pot O' Gold Santana and Brittany are on a date at Breadstix. Santana tells Brittany that she wants them to be together, and is finally happy. Santana is still uncomfortable being out and in public, but is making an improvement. In Heart at Sugar's party, Santana and Brittany share a very intimate, on-screen kiss during the Cherish/Cherish number sung to them by the God Squad. In The Break Up, she claims that in her sophomore year she used to sit in the back of the choir room and secretly watch Brittany. She counted the number of times Brittany smiled at her and died at the days she didn't. Santana tells Brittany that this long distance relationship is a bit much, and tells her that she would like to go a break, even though Brittany felt it was more of a break-up. In Thanksgiving, Santana says that nobody in Glee could do the complex cheorography "except for Britt," and Brittany grins at her. They sing back-up for Quinn in Come See About Me, and share looks and smiles during the song.

Noah Puckerman

Main article: Santana-Puck Relationship (Pucktana) 

They seem to be dating in early episodes, but Santana breaks up with him because of his bad credit score and says that she needs someone who can support her. However, she still has some sort of attachment to him and becomes extremely jealous when Rachel, Quinn, Mercedes and Lauren show interest in Puck. They have slept together in the past and have often sexted, but they are not an official couple. However, in the episode Furt, Santana claims that they are dating. Quinn then says "You're getting naked with Puckerman," causing her to storm off. During Finn's performance of Just the Way You Are, Santana and Puck are seen smiling and dancing together.

In Season 3, Santana has now come to realize that she is a lesbian and in love with Brittany while Puck is focusing on being in his daughter Beth's life most likely getting back with Quinn since they both want to spend time with their child, but has feelings for Shelby.They were both in West Side Story together as Anita and Bernardo.

Finn Hudson

Main article: Finn-Santana Relationship  (Finntana)

Finn and Santana were never friends, but Sue orders Santana and Brittany to go after Finn and take him from Rachel, so that she will quit the Glee Club. Sue later wants the Cheerios to date younger men, Santana has her mind set on taking Finn's virginity (since Brittany pointed out Finn was a few days younger than Santana) and she succeeds. Finn later regrets a lot that he lost his virginity to Santana, although their one night stand helped Finn see that he was still in love with Rachel. In Furt, she tells Finn that he should start telling people that they had sex, claiming it will boost his reputation, and he will return to being New Directions' top man, a role which had recently been stolen by Sam. However, Finn refuses, saying that he loves Rachel and doesn't want her to dump him. In The First Time, Santana tells Rachel that Finn is terrible in bed.

Sam Evans

Main article: Sam-Santana Relationship (Samtana) 

In The Rocky Horror Glee Show, Santana is shown to be interested in Sam's abs. However, things get more serious when in Silly Love Songs, as the Warblers put on a performance at Breadstix, Santana is seen to turn around to look at Sam and wave at him, while he smiles back. In Comeback, Santana convinces Sam that Quinn cheated on him with Finn, which thus ended Quinn and Sam's relationship. She also tells him she "wants to kiss his big mouth" and that he could have unlimited access to her breasts, thus they begin to date. In Blame It on the Alcohol she is seen making out with Sam in Rachel's basement a lot throughout the night. However, in Sexy, she told Brittany she didn't want to be with Sam nor any other guy, she just wants to be with her. After Brittany's rejection, it seems Santana realizes she has no attraction to Sam—she immediately has them both join the Celibacy Club, meaning they can go out without her having to engage in sex with him. In Original Song, she writes an original song called Trouty Mouth for Sam (to refer to his big lips) and sings it in front of the Glee Club. Sam is angered and embarrassed by the song and tells her to stop singing it. Though in A Night of Neglect they are shown to still be together when Sam has his arm around her while Mercedes is singing Ain't No Way. They officially broke up in Born This Way, Santana got with Karofsky because she didn't think Sam was popular enough to help her win Prom Queen. Right before the New Directions sing Born This Way Artie asks where Santana is and Sam says probably somewhere making out with Karofsky showing that it hurt him a bit, but then says it's fine and Karofsky can have her. In Season Four, they sing a duet together, they both fight over Brittany. Later in the end, Brittany stays with Sam, and Santana moves to New York.

Matt Rutherford

In Season One, several scenes suggest they may have been dating.

They sat together in Glee Club a lot during the season, and were dance partners for several numbers. Vitamin D is the first appearance of their relationship, when they are seen sitting close together and messing around with Brittany and Artie. In Mash-Up they hug and hold hands throughout the episode. During Will's performance of Bust a Move, Santana hugs Matt and dances with him. Also in the episode, when Matt chose Glee over football, Santana ran and hugged him and said something like I love you.

Dave Karofsky

Main article: Santana-Dave Relationship (Santofsky)

In A Night of Neglect, Santana finds out there's a secret between Kurt and Karofsky. In Born This Way, Santana makes a deal with Dave; they know that they're both gay, so they pretend to have a relationship, calling each other their "beards," so that no one will find out their true sexualities. They enter the contest at prom for Prom King and Queen, so Santana will make Brittany fall in love with her, however in Prom Queen, Dave wins Prom King, but Santana loses to Kurt for Prom Queen. They ended their relationship.

Quinn Fabray

Main article: Quinn-Santana Relationship (Quinntana) 

Santana was presented as more or less a side-kick to Quinn in the Pilot, since then they've maintained a frenemy-relationship, but ended up sleeping with each other twice in I Do because Quinn had always wondered what it would be like to be with a woman, although she isn't lesbian.
