Yes, even if only in the form of a statement. “This is what we did and why. We hope you will continue to support us in this and thankyou in advance for your respect of our privacy.” I don’t know if this doubling down comes from her or just through her, if it’s because of the episode, or to end the season and set the tone for the longest and most bizarre hiatus in history, but it’s not a good look. Sam has never spoken about the ‘women he’s dating’ so the subject shouldn’t be the business of a platonic costar. This just makes them look even more in cahoots as they claim not to be. And with this, I’m dropping the subject. It doesn’t deserve any more attention.
