Biography


Introducing himself as just "Jake," Jake Puckerman auditions for New Directions, performing the song Never Say Never. When Mr. Schuester stops the performance early, Jake is confused and lashes out, angry because he has been working on the song for several nights in preparation for his audition. He throws a music stand across the stage before departing. When Mr. Schuester posts the callback list on the bulletin board, Jake checks for his name, and when he doesn't see it, he angrily balls up the paperMr. Schuester calls Jake into his office to talk, and revealed that he has discovered that he is Noah Puckerman's half-brother. He tells Jake that Puck never mentioned having a brother, to which Jake responds that Puck doesn't know. Will tells Jake the reason why he cut his performance was because he knew the moment Jake finished the first verse that he was good that he wanted him in the Glee Club. Despite being briefly taken aback by Will's complement, Jake refuses to accept Will's offer of a spot in the club, believing Will is only offering him a second chance because he is related to Puck. Jake is last shown looking on during the New Directions performance of Chasing Pavements, similar to how Puck watches New Directions perform Don't Stop Believin' in the Pilot episode. (The New Rachel)
 

Jake is seen chatting with Tina in the hallways of McKinley, exchanging stares with Marley as she passes by. When Marley expresses interest in Jake to Unique, Unique says that that he has already wrecked several girls' hearts at McKinley, despite only being at the school for two weeks. To further explain her point, Unique, Tina, and Marley launch into a performance of Womanizer, following Jake around as he bounces around from girl to girl throughout in school, quickly losing interest in one as another walks by. As the performance concludes in the gym, Jake tells Marley that they should "hang out sometime," to which she quickly accepts, much to the chagrin of Unique and Tina. Later, after a huge breakdown with Brittany in the hallway, Mr. Schuester catches Jake riding a scooter in the hallway. Mr Schuester pulls him into a room and tells him he has learned Jake is not attending his classes. Will states that it was his mistake not to accept Jake into Glee Club the first time and extends the offer yet again. Jake refuses, and Mr. Schuester compares him to Puck, stating how much he changed through his time in the Glee Club and saying it was because he had a community. Jake replies that he doesn't need friends and scooters off.

Later on, Jake meets Marley outside on the football field's bleachers. Marley states she can tell that Jake's guitar, leather jacket, and hair are all walls to keep people from seeing how hurt he is inside. Rebuffing her comments, he asks her what they are singing in Glee Club and scoffs when he finds out it's Britney Spears Week. Marley dismisses his apparent scorn for her music, stating he hasn't heard her version yet. They launch into a duet with each other,Crazy/'U Drive Me Crazy, and almost share a kiss once the song ends. When Marley states that it has suddenly gotten colder, Jake takes off his jacket and puts it around her, before exchanging shy smiles and leaving. At lunch, two jocks, Phil and Bobby, start to tease Marley's mom, and Jake comes to her defense resulting in a physical altercation between the three boys. Mr. Schuester breaks up the escalating fight and pulls Jake into the choir room, where we find Puck waiting. The two Puckerman have a brief heart-to-heart conversation where Puck encourages Jake to join Glee Club, but as he leaves, states that regardless if Jake joins New Directions or not, he's still his brother. Jake and Marley have a conversation with each other in the hallway where it is revealed Jake has decided to join New Directions. Kitty approaches and reveals that Jake and Kitty are dating, leaving Marley heartbroken. Later, as Jake enters the choir room, he is overwhelmed by the stares and greetings of some of New Directions' members, and quickly finds a seat. Marley then asks Mr. Schue if she could perform one more Britney song for the club. Still dismayed by Jake and Kitty's relationship, she performs Everytime. Jake watches the performance regretfully as we cut to Jake serenades Kitty on the football field as Marley sadly observes from the bleachers. (Britney 2.0)

Jake is seen in the choir room as he and the rest of New Directions talk about the set list for Sectionals. When Will says he has an idea, but actually doesn't, Jake suggests they start preparing for their upcoming competition.

Jake catches Marley

trying to hide her free lunch tickets, and reveals he also has them. He tells Marley that his mom works extra to pay for his dance classes. He shares that she used to be a real estate agent and that they were "solid middle class" before the economic downturn, but now she is the only black waitress at the Lima Country Club. Kitty comes up and invites Marley to  the Left Behind Club meeting at Breadstix in preparation for 'The Rapture'. At Breadstix, Jake apologizes to Marley for making her come, but Marley jokingly responds by asking if he'll go to heaven at half speed since he's half Jewish. Once Dottie leave the room, Kitty makes everyone hide in order to simulate The Rapture. When Dottie begins to freaks out, Jake tells Kitty that Kitty took things way too far. As everyone begins to leave, Marley tells Jake she doesn't like Kitty and can't believe Jake does. Later on, when Jake apologizes to Marley at school, she reiterates that she doesn't get why someone like Jake would be with someone like Kitty. She says that he tries to act like he doesn't care what anyone thinks, but he must be desperate to fit in and be popular if he's willing to date Kitty. Jake states that Marley doesn't know what its like being on the outside since the black kids think he is "too white" and the white kids think he's "too black" and that Kitty can be crazy, but she likes him, and when he stands next to her, no one makes fun of him. Kitty sees the two talking and approaches, hurling insults at Marley, to which Jake tells her to stop or he's breaking up with her. When Kitty presses the issue, Jake ends their brief relationship, to which Kitty holds Marley responsible. Once Kitty leaves, Marley tells Jake that he didn't need to do that, but Jake responds that he actually did have to. She invites Jake to go over “Grease” music with her, revealing that she wants to audition for the role of Sandy, but he politely declines and says that he’ll see her in Glee rehearsal.

Jake proceeds to ask Marley out on a date, only to have Ryder quickly interrupt and point out that Marley already has plans to watch him play at an upcoming football game. This incites a fight between the two guys, and Marley tries to break it up before Finn intervenes.

When Ms. Rose confides to Jake that Marley talks about him all the time, he states that he feels like he blew his chance, but Ms. Rose replies that it's never too late. When Phil and Bobby start insulting Ms. Rose yet again, Jake confronts them, recalling their past altercation. Phil and Bobby reveal that they aren't alone this time and several nearby jocks surround Jake, ready to attack, Fortunately Ryder and several of the members of Superhero Club come to Jake's aid, running them off.

In The End of Twerk, Marley finally finds out that Jake slept with Bree and breaks up with him. In Movin' Out, Jake tries to apologize to Marley by singing My Life to her, but she refuses to forgive him. Shortly afterwards, Marley accepts to go out on a date with Ryder, making Jake jealous. They are also seen dancing happily together while Holly performs Happy along with the rest of New Directions, April, Will and the Alumni, which could indicate that they are now in good terms.
