Sam would die to protect Jason. Sam would give her life for Jason in a heart beat. She would not even think twice about it. So why wouldn't she hold the truth about Robin far from Jason before she is ABSOLUTELY sure Jason can handle it. Sam is running around frantic trying to protect Jason by baring Carly and everyone from saying a thing. She'll do anything to protect him even if it means doing something that might make him resent her for life. But he has to understand (and he will in time) that she was only trying to protect him and keep him safe. Sam is being very true to her character right now because she would walk thru fire for Jason. Sam would easily give her own life just to keep him safe. Jason will see that eventually.
In the meantime, he is going to get so mad and angry with her. Sam is doing something Jason has done for her in the past. She was angry when he made decisions for her too. However, the difference here is Sam was told any stress would kill Jason and this terrified her to the core. Jason will lash out at Sam and I fear he will unload on her but this will be the grief talking. In time Sam will also know this is just the grief talking.
Carly is no doubt the worst person tell Jason about Robin. But after reading twitter I was afraid I would only want to scream after watching. However, Carly wasn't as awful as I thought she could be. Yes, she whined and whined how she was banned etc. AND she did tell Jason Sam has been lying to him for days. But at least the truth is out now. Jason knows. I do hate Carly sometimes. She didn't even bother to check on Jason's condition before she dropped the bomb knowing it was the type of news that could kill him. But that is Carly! So true to her character she decided to jump in there and tell Jason. But the truth is out.
Now that the truth is out, it will need to be dealt with. But it is out just the same. I always hear that saying 'the truth will set up free'. Free isn't exactly the term I would use here. But the truth will come out eventually and when it does life can move on. Life can move forward, forward for good or forward for the worst but it will move forward. So at least the storyline will move forward and this is what we want. Things to move forward.
Life will move forward for everyone ...well except for Robin. Robin is gone. Her funeral was heart breaking and all of the flashbacks were so beautiful and amazing. So much classic footage of an amazing 30 years with Robin. A true tribute to Robin and it was wonderful and so sad to watch. But the funeral also gave everyone closure so that lives can begin to move forward. When someone dies young it makes us all angry and the story lines surrounding Robin's life will most likely touch on this. But hopefully it will also touch on the fact sometimes death makes you realize how to live life to the fullest. How to be grateful for it all and to see the beauty in getting to live everyday. I hope Jason also realized and eventually gets to this point too and is grateful he and Sam are having a child and everyday with Sam is a gift.
Keep watching!
Thanks for this.Good perspective.I think you were kind to Carly tho.She relished saying Sam had not been honest with Jason,had been lying for days,etc. Also about how she accepted Sam as his wife. She also kept shrieking about "what about me?", & how she needed to help him,her BFF! Ugh! That gets pretty old. All that said, I am so waiting for this mess to be over with and she can go back to chasing JZ.
ReplyDeleteJason will forgive Sam,slowly I am sure. It does seem that they have more than their share of "angst"(hate that word).This should be a happy time, and I wish TPTB would give us a little of that. Don't you?
