Betrayal or Delusional?

There has been no greater cheerleader for Jason and Sam and their love then their dear friend, Spinelli.  Spinelli had dreamed and even encouraged both Jason and Sam to reunite and once they did he was so immensely happy it showed with his every word.  Why it was just last week when Jason told Spinelli how much better Sam was then Brenda and how she was perfect for Jason that Spinelli beamed that Jason was getting in touch with his feelings for Fair Samantha.  Well that was all until today.  Spinelli apparently has forgotten all of the countless times Sam has been a dear friend to him, provided him with a shoulder to cry on, kept him out of federal prison, became his business partner and for some delusional reason tried to encourage Jason to "rekindle" a romance with Brenda.  What was he thinking?  I mean seriously what were the writers thinking?  I get Spinelli was supposed to be gaga over Brenda but seriously for him to do that to Sam today that was just horrible and completely out of character.   Sam has never done anything to him and has always done everything to help him and to be his friend.  How would he feel if he and Maxie were still happy and in love and all of a sudden Sam started encouraging Maxie to start chasing after someone like Johnny or Matt again?  I am sorry but while I realize Spinelli lives in a fantasy world most of the time, his friendships and morals are generally hovering in reality.  This act of his today was unforgivable and Sam is really much too nice to just let that slide. 

There were a few other things that actually made me sad about today's show and questioning the writers motives as well.  Sam decides to start planning a great vacation for her and Jason but he tells her he has to wait to see how things with Sonny play out.  She was very understanding but then the minute his phone rings for Brenda he drops everything? WTF?  I mean seriously I get her life was threatened, or at least the ASEC lady made it sound that way, but what about Sonny? Does Jason still need to stick around and see how things are going to play out for Sonny?  Another question I had was Jason has been hovering around Sam during her recovery and now he is just leaves?

I absolutely hated how much Jason and Spinelli hurt Sam's feelings today.  Sam has never asked Jason for anything except to love her for who she is.  She has never asked for more commitment or anything else but I feel like he continues to take that for granted at times.  Sam's comment to Jason Brenda was really smart to marry Jason because he really is the best protector had so much more meaning to it then it first sounded like.  While Sam's logical side realizes Jason is telling the truth and he really can't stand Brenda, Sam still requires some special handling from time to time.  It wasn't very long ago that she thought Jason would be spending at least the next 5 years, if not their entire lives, in prison.  She was so incredibly strong and stood by Jason through it all but now that it is over she is terrified deep down she will lose him again.  I think Jason needs to give Sam some tangible evidence of his love for Sam though she would never ask for it. Perhaps a ring?! hint hint Jason!

I was proud of Jason for one thing though, he did ask Sam to go with him and make it a trip for them too.  But Sam was already kind of hurt and didn't want Jason to know it so she turned him down.  But at least he asked her and didn't hide what he was doing from Sam.  I am proud of that.

Keep calling the comment lines - let your voice be heard!  I call at least once a day to thank them for Jason and Sam . I also do call every time Brenda laughs to tell them how much I hate her laugh .
