Every week, ships, A.K.A. relationships, are highlighted on our favorite TV shows. Did your favorite ship sail this week, did a new one launch, or did yours sadly sink? If you love shipping, you know the power of the fandom love behind them.
We have some newbies this week; some are canon and some are fanon, but that’s what makes shipping fun. They don’t have to happen, but it’s the fans seeing a glimmer of the possible if things took a slightly different turn that has people hopping on board a ship.
Remember, if we didn’t include your favorite, give a suggestion to the writer who usually covers your fandom in the recap discussion or in the comments below.

‘Glee’ – All Aboard Samcedes
Passengers: Sam Evans and Mercedes Jones
Sunset Cruise: Mercedes arrives in NYC as Glee’s newest east coast resident. Her record label is putting her up in a two-bedroom apartment, and she offers the extra room to Sam and Blaine, who are both crashing/crowding Kurt and Rachel’s loft. The whole group helps them move into the apartment by unloading the truck while Sam and Mercedes are alone together inside. Sam asks if it’s going to be okay living together due to their history and undeniable sexual chemistry. Despite denials, boundaries, and an adorable face squish, these two have chemistry.
