The Finn-Quinn Relationship, commonly known as Fabson or Fuinn, was the relationship between McKinley Alumni Finn Hudson and Quinn Fabray.
Their relationship begins almost four months prior to Pilot and ends in the episode Sectionals when Finn finds out that Quinn has cheated on him with his best friend, Noah Puckerman, and that she is pregnant with his baby. They get back together the next year after Quinn cheats on Sam Evans, whom she was initially dating, with Finn. They break up again in Funeral due to Finn having stronger feelings for Rachel, feeling like he isn't strongly connected to Quinn and also thinking he still hasn't been able to fix everything from the previous year.
Overview[]
Finn and Quinn are each other's first boyfriend and girlfriend respectively.
Quinn is Finn's first girlfriend and Finn is Quinn's first boyfriend. As two of the most popular kids in William McKinley High School - as The Quarterback of the football team and head of The Cheerios respectively - they begin dating a few months prior to the start of the series. Due to her religious beliefs and presidency of The Celibacy Club, Quinn would always refuse to have sex Finn, and when physically intimate, Quinn would often stop and suggest they pray instead. Ironically, Finn only joined The Celibacy Club with the hopes of getting into Quinn's pants. After being blackmailed by Mr. Schuester, Finn reluctantly joins the Glee Club. While Quinn initially disapproves of this, worrying that it may tarnish her and Finn's reputation, she ends up joining the club - along with fellow Cheerios Santana and Brittany - as she is concerned that something may be going on between Finn and Rachel. (Unbeknownst to her, the two had already kissed in The Auditorium). However, Quinn ends up having sex with Noah Puckerman (Finn's best friend at the time) after he offers her wine coolers and lies to her about using protection because she is feeling "fat", resulting in her unexpected pregnancy. Quinn lies to Finn about the paternity of the pregnancy and claims the baby is his, citing the time Finn prematurely ejaculated in Quinn's hot tub. Under the false belief that Quinn is carrying his child, Finn opts to stay with her and attempts to become a good father. When Quinn's parents learn about her pregnancy, the two stand up for each other. Quinn is ultimately kicked out of her home, but Finn and his mother take her in. Later on, Rachel believes that she has learnt the truth about Quinn's pregnancy and tells Finn about her suspicions. Finn, after punching Puck in the face, demands the truth from Quinn, who confesses that Puck is indeed the father of the baby. A very upset and angry Finn declares he is done with her, ending their relationship and his friendship with Puck. (Finn and Puck would later resume their friendship in The Sue Sylvester Shuffle).
In Hell-O, Finn is depressed and admits in a voiceover that he is still not over Quinn, whom is implied to feel the same way, as they both gaze at each other longingly in the hallway. Quinn finds herself reluctantly in a relationship with Puck, while Finn finds himself awkwardly in a relationship with Rachel. In that week's Glee Club assignment, he sings Hello, I Love You, to describe his feelings about Quinn and Puck's relationship. Throughout the rest of the year, they are implied to still have feelings for each other, although neither are ever seen talking with each other.
In Britney/Brittany, Quinn asks Finn out on a date to Breadstix even though Finn is in a relationship with Rachel. Despite declining Quinn's offer, he tells her that he still has and probably always will have feelings for her. It is soon revealed that Rachel asked Quinn to do this, however, Quinn is still visibly upset from Finn's response.
In The Sue Sylvester Shuffle, Quinn is stuck in a dilemma in which she has to choose between the Cheerios and Glee Club. Rachel bluntly declares that Quinn will pick the Cheerios, but Finn defends Quinn, stating that it is
unfair of Rachel to judge her. Quinn, however, still chooses to be with the Cheerios and Finn confronts her about this, their conversation ending on a sour note. They make up when Finn confronts Quinn again just before the football match's half time show and requests that she, Santana and Brittany leave the Cheerios and help them perform for Glee club. Finn additionally tells Quinn that he knows she was strong enough to make this decision, and she agrees to leave the Cheerios. After winning the football match, Finn and Quinn share happy looks in the stadium, but Finn later runs into her just as he is about to leave the change rooms. Quinn tells him the way he had acted the entire week reminded her why she loved him and they share a kiss in the hallway. Quinn, realizing what she did, quickly leaves the area, leaving Finn confused. Their relationship picks up in Silly Love Songs, where Finn again reveals that he is still not over Quinn. He sets up a kissing booth under the guise of a fundraiser when it is really to get Quinn to kiss him. Quinn, aware of his ploy, confronts him and initially rejected him. But when Sam confronts Quinn, suspicious of her actions, she lets her ego take control of her, and decides to kiss Finn anyway. When they do, they feel fireworks. Finn and Quinn later meet in the auditorium, where they briefly discuss where they are in their relationship, and

kiss again, this time more passionately. Unknown to them, Santana deliberately infected Finn with mono as revenge for their actions earlier in the week, leading to both Finn and Quinn getting sick. Santana reveals this in order to raise Sam's suspicions so that he would break-up with Quinn.
In Comeback, Sam gets over his denial of Quinn cheating on him and breaks up with her, revealing that he is now dating Santana. In Sexy, it is learned that the two secretly start dating. They later make their relationship public after their Glee Regionals competition in order to gain more votes for Prom King and Queen.
In Born This Way, Lauren Zizes reveals Quinn's past; devastated, she runs away. Lauren later apologizes for this and realized she was out of line. After gaining her composure, she is confronted by Finn, who she tells that she believed there was no hope left for her to be Prom Queen. Finn reassures her of her body image, taking out a photo of "Lucy" and telling her that she is his girlfriend. He liked this photo better because it showed him who Quinn really was. To Quinn's surprise, Lauren's plan to sabotage her votes backfired, when she revealed that Quinn's popularity instead increased after putting up the Lucy Caboosey posters. Finn and Quinn's relationship started going downhill from Rumours, where Quinn was suspected of cheating on Finn with Sam, bringing up trust issues within the couple, however, these were resolved by the end of the episode when Sam revealed Quinn was babysitting his younger siblings.
Finn and Quinn break up in Funeral.
In Prom Queen, Finn starts getting jealous of Jesse and how he was making Rachel happy. The two get into a fight during the prom, and are consequently kicked out, ruining Quinn's chances of being Prom Queen. They stay together until Finn breaks up with her in Funeral, both of them taking it very hard, despite Finn telling Quinn that he still loves her. In New York, Quinn, still distraught from the breakup, refused to get over Finn. But after returning from their trip to Nationals, Quinn appeared to be fine with it, accepting the fact that Finn loves Rachel.

- Though it is never made clear whether or not Finn and Quinn slept with each other in the end, it could be implied that they did, based on a scene in Sexy. In this scene Finn is lying with Quinn on her bed; he hears a car horn outside and worryingly asks Quinn if it's her mom, to which Quinn assures him that her mom is at work and won't be home for hours, hinting the possibility that they were going to be having sex in that time. Quinn also acknowledges in this moment that cheating on Finn with Puck was a mistake, and that he should have been her first, which could imply this scene is a makeup sex scene. Source.
- Both times when they have broken up Rachel has had something to do with it. In Sectionals, Rachel tells Finn that Quinn's baby is Puck's, and in Funeral, Finn still has feelings for Rachel.
- They would have been Prom King and Prom Queen at Senior Prom, if not for Quinn rigging the votes and making Rachel win.
- Both have slept with Santana. Finn in The Power of Madonna and Quinn in I Do.
