Sam's parents agreed to let him go back with Finn and Rachel for the remainder of the school year. He was glad to be going back and being able to see all his friends again. But there was one person he couldn't wait to see, Quinn. He knew she had a boyfriend but from what Finn told him, the guy's a douche and she could do way better. He's determined to get her back, whatever it takes. He'll fight for her if he has to.

The only person who knew of Sam coming back, was Mr. Shue. Finn had wanted to surprise everyone. So once they got back to McKinley, Finn had made sure that everyone was already in the Choir Room and then had Sam just wait outside the room. Sam listened to them all talking about how they have no chance winning Sectional's now.

Mr. Shue and Finn head into the room.

"Hey great news everybody. Sectionals is gonna be a challenge. But we have a secret weap-"

Kurt interrupts him. "Mr. Shue, we all appreciate your endless supply of admirations, but all the sparkling cider in the world can't deny the fact that the Titanic has hit the iceberg and now we're on a sinking ship."

Sam decides that knows the time to head in. "Not if I can help it."

Everyone's so excited to see him. They all rush over towards him, Mike almost tripping over his chair on the way. He hugs everybody, except for Quinn. She's standing up from where she was sitting just staring at him in shock. The last time she saw him was at the end of the school year last year, and he never even told her he was leaving. She couldn't believe he was back.

Sam notices her and walks over to her. "What you're not gonna hug me?"

She smiles and then hugs him.

Sam makes his way back over next to Finn. "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Finn and Rachel. I sorta lost my way but true friends help you find your way back."

"Let's hear it for Sam Evans!"

"Alright enough of the sentimental stuff." Sam grabs his guitar from Finn. "It's time to bring some country back up in here!"

He starts to play Red Solo Cup. Everyone's singing along and just having a blast. Yeah, Sam definitely missed this, just kicking back singing having a good time with his friends. He was so glad to be back. He kept glancing over to Quinn the whole time. He really did miss her the most. The song ended and everyone was cheering. They had all missed Sam so much and were happy to have him back, and to win Sectional's. Just as the song ended, Santana came in the room.

"Just heard the news that Trouty Mouth was back in town. I've been keeping a notebook just in case this day ever cam. Welcome back Lisa Rena. I've missed you so much since your family packed their bags, loaded them in your mouth and skipped town. Can't tell you how many times I've wanted to enjoy a crisp pickle, but couldn't find anyone to suck the lid off the jar. I assume you've been working as a baby polisher, where young mothers place their infant's heads in your mouth to get back that newborn shine. So glad you're back, I haven't seen a smile that big since a Claymation abominable snow man got his teeth pulled by that little gay elf dentist. Love Santana."

Sam smiles. "I missed you too Santana." Then pulls her into a hug.

Quinn had been a little distant from Sam earlier. He knew it was because she had a boyfriend, but he wasn't gonna let it stop him of course. He sees her walking in the hallway. He just walks right up to her and grabs her hand.

"What are you doing?" She pulls her hand away.

"Holding your hand, obviously." He smiles.

"Well stop." She turns around to face him.

"Look I heard about your boyfriend."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, Finn told me."

"Well then you probably heard that he's what, a douche bag?"

"Well yeah, there was that." Sam holds back a laugh.

Quinn sees the look on his face and knows what Finn had told him. "He told you that he was gay didn't he?"

"Well he told me the dude went after Blaine. And you'd seriously date a guy like that? Honestly. After he went after one of your best friend's boyfriend? Wow, Quinn."

Quinn scoffs. "You don't know him. He's actually a really nice guy."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, he is."

"Ok, but he was still gay."

"Was, being the key word there."

"Riigghhhhtt." He laughs.

"Look, I'm really happy Sam."

"Ok, but can I just say one thing?"

Quinn rolls her eyes. "Go ahead."

"I'm still in love with you Quinn. I never stopped. It may have taken me a while to realize this, but I'm completely in love with you and I'm not gonna give up on you. I wanna be with you Quinn."

Quinn sighs. "Look, Sam. You were the first guy I ever really loved, so I'll probably always have some feelings for you. But I'm really happy with Sebastian. I-I've moved on." She looks at him for a few seconds before continuing. "And you need to move on too."

Quinn turns around and walks away. Sam yells after her.

"I don't care about your boyfriend, I'll fight to get you back!"
