*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

At her workplace, Samantha receives some flowers from Kevin. Her assistant Tracy, already late, frantically offers to take some of the more undesirable parts off of them. Samantha tells her she doesn't have to be scared of her anymore since she's different post-coma. She tells Tracy to treat her as a girlfriend. Before her next date, Sam talks to Andrea, Dena, and her mom Regina about her upcoming first time since the accident of "doing it". Afterwards, with Kevin still asleep, she declares herself in love so she moves her stuff out of Todd's (formerly hers) apartment and moves in with Kevin. Kevin breaks up with her at the next dinner. Seeing Sam put pictures of her and the one from Kevin together with scissors, Andrea tries to cheer her up with a drink. At first refusing because of her alcoholism, Tracy reveals she's really not so off they go with Dena and Regina in tow! Later, in trying to reach Todd by shouting from the apartment entrance, Frank the doorman takes the drunk Sam to an empty restaurant table as they talk about what love really is. When Sam finally sees Todd, she tells she loved him then though she didn't say so at the time. When she gets back to work, Tracy has shirked most of her responsibilities so Sam goes bossy on her again. She then adds "please"...Another hilarious episode of "Samantha Who?" that fully explores the difficulties of living with amnesia. Loved seeing this new side of Tracy in being the opposite of what we've seen of her especially when she quickly changes back when Sam slips to her old side temporarily. Also nice to see Frank have more of a role here. Another good line was Dena's about the curtain matching the drapes in comparison to Samantha about to choose mismatched bra and panties. Overall, one of the funniest episodes of "Samantha Who?" yet!
