The way we see it, there are at least five possible storylines that could unravel when Sam whips his beautiful, Bieber-esque blonde locks through the doors of McKinley High. And a well-placed Glee insider tells us, Sam will be coming back for Sectionals, but beyond that, the storyline is just now in the beginning stages of being carved out. So what should happen? Here's our chance to break it down, and your chance to weigh in.
Love triangle with Mercedes and Shane: In the season two finale, we got a sweet little moment between Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Sam that revealed they were indeed a couple. And then in the season three premiere, Mercedes confirmed that they dated over the summer...until Sam moved away. And thus, Samcedes was dead before they even really began. Will Sam's return revive the flames of love between the two? We doubt that Mercedes' new boyfriend Shane would let his woman go easily. Smells like a love triangle to us!
In case you haven't heard, Finn (Cory Monteith) will be graduating, so New Directions will need a new leading man. Sure, everyone is banking on Darren Criss as the big star next year, but we could also see Sam taking over as top dog of the school. If he is in fact a junior, that is.
Relationship with Quinn: Who could possibly forget the adorable Ken and Barbie explosion that was Sam and Quinn? They would've made such pretty babies! And hey, Quinn is single now. Yes, she's quite crazy and trying to steal back her baby, but maybe Sam could bring her back to sane-ville. Those two had lots of chemistry, and by the time Sam gets back, Quinn might be a little more willing to just be in a normal relationship.
Coming Out: It was heavily rumored that Sam was supposed to be Kurt's original first boyfriend. Can you imagine a TV world in which Kurt and Blaine aren't together? The horror! But perhaps Sam coming back leads to his coming out. There was always something about him...
Nearly three months later, it appears that Overstreet has had a change of heart. He's in final talks to return to the show and will appear some time in December "on a recurring basis," according to TV Line. "We missed Chord and Chord missed us," a source close to the show told the site. "It's a win-win."
His character Sam Evans certainly was popular among the New Directions singers during his season-long arc last year. No less than four of them -- Kurt (Chris Colfer), Quinn (Dianna Agron), Santana (Naya Rivera) and Mercedes (Amber Riley) -- had romantic designs on the pouty-lipped football player that Santana dubbed Trouty Mouth.
There's no word yet on how Sam will be reintroduced. When we last saw him in the Season 2 finale, we learned that he and Mercedes were in a relationship, which they were hiding for an unknown reason. "We’re gonna have to wait and discover that," Falchuk told Entertainment Weekly shortly after the finale. "They have their reasons."
And in the TV Line article reporting Overstreet's decision to leave, Falchuk had said that producers "had some good stories planned for him and with Mercedes." In his absence, the writers paired Mercedes off with new McKinley Titans linebacker Shane (LaMarcus Tinker), whom she met over the summer after Sam's family moved out of state.
