And Annie gets angry with Sam later on for offering to walk her home, and says why don't you offer to walk Ray or Chris home, why am I being singled out.
I like that. It shows that, as well-meaning as Sam is, he's not perfect and he does have underlying prejudices of his own. (And it's that same condescending thing that guys do, where they congratulate themselves on how kind and enlightened they are for going out of their way to protect a woman, not realizing that they're being demeaning by assuming that a woman can't handle herself.)
And then there's Alex swooning at her first sign of Gene, and the hero shot of him carrying her in like the damsel in distress.
Man, that show just grosses me out. What the hell were they thinking?
