Just before Sam walks into Maddie’s bedroom at the end of “Sam and Dave,” Maddie can be seen just sitting there, frowning and looking sideways; looking in fact very sad, not at all like someone who’s in love (not with the guy who’s about to walk in, anyway). I mean she’s just so downcast, looking for all the world like she just got caught doing something wrong (or might be about to do something she’s not too thrilled about). She looks about the way a person would before they start to cry. This part of the scene is brief but very important. (It also sets up the look on Maddie’s face a bit later when she is the one awake and Sam’s asleep.) Check sideways where she’s staring—is that a mirror on the table, a snapshot or the phone? (There’s a circular thing on the stand that I would have said looks like an ashtray, but I don’t think she smokes.) Is she, ahem, waiting for somebody to call? In any event, she doesn’t even walk downstairs to meet Sam, just yells for him to come upstairs. Aside here—I know the lighting is funny because Sam walks from the bright staircase into the dark bedroom, but even though Maddie says “Some night,” neither she nor Sam talk about how his face is messed up because of the thing at the gas station! He doesn’t volunteer it, and Maddie doesn’t seem to catch on, or in any event never comments on it. That is really odd. You would think either she would be very concerned, if she noticed, or he would want to explain. (Maybe he doesn't want to admit that he got into trouble with Dave. Bringing up the other guy would probably mess up the atmopshere, might even make Maddie get angry at him. And then it's out the door. So, mum's the word. ) I know, they’re thinking about something else by that time, but still. It says something about the way they’re both put off from the reality of the situation, the way things are getting worse and worse; here they try to create a little island of a moment where they can be happy and ignore the problems. It’s not going to last forever. The love scene between Sam and Maddie also seems rather slow and, for lack of a better term, placid. Maddie’s whole bearing just screams, “I don’t want to be here,” or, “My heart isn’t truly in this.” It’s almost as if she’s already thinking, although perhaps loathe to say it in so many words, “Oh jeez, do I have to be here? I wish I was somewhere else...” Not to be too crude but the whole thing from the look on her face and afterward looks like she’s just going through the motions, to pretend she is happy, to keep Sam happy, because right now Maddie is torn between the two men. Think even more about the way she looks from beginning to the end of this scene and maybe she's even already made her choice, although it will take her a few more days to openly admit it. I've wondered why she didn't yell at Dave or ask for him to be thrown out when they were at the restaurant. It probably is because she didn't want to cause a fuss and also must have been very frightened and embarrassed. However, now that I look closely at what happened afterward in the closing scene, with her funny sideways glance, I'm half wondering if it couldn't be because she felt sorry for David, maybe even guessed (although doesn't say as much) why he came to talk to her, and--this is a longshot--actually felt somewhat impressed by what he did. I mean, he wasn't afraid of the other guy, and he would never give up, even though Sam (through continuing to feed him drinks) goaded Dave into making an absolute idiot out of himself. Sam was trying to get Dave to look stupid in front of Maddie. Easy to conclude that he succeded, but did this backfire or not? Importantly, the love scene between her and Sam is slow and cautious. They kiss slowly, they move into bed slowly, and he sets her down on top of the covers. They are both still dressed at the first moment they lie down together. In other words, quite frankly, they don’t look like they excite each other very much. Notice, again, the importance of the song being played. “When somebody loves you, it’s no good unless they love you all the way.” It’s the same one that was playing in the car when Sam was driving Dave home. (How’s that for irony!) It’s an indication that this moment we are seeing right now ultimately “is no good” because it’s not the right one. This is a very stark contrast between her mood with Sam, and then what happens between her and David days later. You couldn’t have made it look more different—with David it was wild and stormy, rolling around on the ground, smashing the furniture, then finally moving upstairs where they at last went to bed naked. Obviously one meant a lot more than the other.

I see a lot of guilt in her in this scene as well. Hesitance and yet, a desire to just get it over with. Her expression before Sam arrives looks very sad and a little guilty to me. It’s funny that you would say their lovemaking is slow. While I agree on one hand, I also get the sense that Maddie approaches this whole encounter with sort of a rushed purposefulness, but no eagerness. I mean she seems to have planned to call him upstairs, prepared with his favorite song. But she seems more like she’s taking a test that she doesn’t know the answers to. I think of her body language when Sam calls her name from downstairs. Watch her. It’s like she puts her private self away, straightens up and prepares to be her public self. That idea to me provides some explanation about why she doesn’t mention his shiner. (I found her silence on that subject a bit weird also.) Maybe she sort of just wanted to get it (whatever it is) over with, and the shiner was a distraction. The look on her face when Sam says, “Come here” is pretty telling as well. Her eyes widen and she looks downright frightened. She looks to me like someone who is about to make a BIG mistake and knows it. Walking to him she almost looks like a lamb to the slaughter, not a woman in love. Even while they’re dancing, she doesn’t smile or really even seem to enjoy it. Contrast that with when she’s with David. She is grinning practically the whole time. Also, I am quite convinced she says David’s name in the last shot when she’s just lying there awake. The question, then, is this: if she really seems like she doesn’t want to do this, why does she?

The question, then, is this: if she really seems like she doesn’t want to do this, why does she? I will have to check that last scene where she's the only one awake. Does sound plausible, though. The look on her face is pretty telling. She appears sick to herself, almost. I do notice that change in attitude when she hears him come into the house. "Oh, he's here?" kind of a thing. There could be a few different reasons why she tries to be with Sam even though she doesn't seem all that enthusiastic about it. One is that she's been alone for a while, and is beginning to get scared as to whether she'll ever find someone, so the sudden arrival of someone who seems like a very good prospect could be seen as a relief. Two, she had her disastrous night trying to pick someone up at Metropolis, and when that didn't go as planned, she may have been that much more relieved when Sam showed up (however he did that--I have my theories ). Third: she wanted to be with Dave, but was scared to cross the line; when Sam appeared, he is the marrying kind, at least nominally, whereas David can't quite bring himself to say this (although that's not as clear-cut as it seems, if you remember his speech in "Father Knows Last"). Sam jumped. David could not say what he wanted to say, or was prevented from doing so. Thus it's kind of a catch-22. That's another subject we could get into: was David (and perhaps Maddie as well) scared to say what he really felt, or was he dying to say it and just always interrupted by some crazy thing going wrong, like Sam showing up? Four, once Sam got there, it would have been pretty awkward to tell him to leave. She may not have been sure she wanted him, but she definitely was not the kind to cause a ruckus and just kick him out. And she hadn't yet made up her mind that she did not want him either. Or wasn't able to admit it. They had already been through enough that night; saying "I'm not interested" might have caused a rift that was irreparable. Being with someone, even if you don't love them, can be a relief when you're lonely and I think she was at a pretty low point here. All that anger and confusion...that would make her fairly vulnerable and not want to be alone. You may have a good call on why she didn't notice or at least didn't mention what happened to his face. She must have been preoccupied with making sure the 'meeting' went well, or putting up a good appearance. Perhaps bringing up the subject of the injury would have made him mad or depressed and ruined everything. They had both been through a lot of stress and she didn't want to scare him off immediately. I think in this part of the series, Maddie is pretty much a loose cannon; she doesn't know what to do with herself now that she's a tennis ball being swatted about between these two contenders. With Sam, even though he's there, she seems oddly unconnected to him. In a way, scenes like this show she may have already figured out she belongs with Dave, it's just she doesn't want to admit it. More about the injury: not only might she not want to mention something that would further provoke and upset Sam, but even though nobody speaks directly about this, Maddie may have jumped to the conclusion (incorrect, but she wouldn't know at this point) that he got in a fight with David, and if she brought it up, that would destroy everything at home and at work. She could become very disappointed with both of them, or even frightened by both, and then neither one of them would get to be with her...which may explain why neither of the men wanted to talk about it. (Although we, the audience, clearly understand that it happened as a result of Sam helping Dave out in the fight in the gas station parking lot.) This is a time when it appears to Maddie as if none, zero, of the choices left open to her are good.

After watching it again, I'll throw a fifth theory into the mix. I wonder if she wasn't testing herself, even daring herself to be with a "great guy" like Sam and feel something for him and nothing for David. Can she enjoy being with the type of person she's "supposed to be with"? I think you can really see this struggle within her. The Old Maddie, I would imagine, would have been able to be with Sam, love it and forget all about David. THIS Maddie is miserable. She's SO detached from the proceedings I don't know how Sam doesn't notice it. Anyway, if this was a test or a dare for her, I think she failed miserably. I am of the opinion that the final shot shows her making it pretty clear who she is really thinking about, whether one buys that she says David's name at that point or not.

That could very well be there, especially if she feels she needs to be with somebody, and is trying to see if Sam could be the one she could learn to feel enthusiastic about. But if she has to ask, she already knows the answer, doesn't she! Don't take this the wrong way, but when I see her and Sam together, I get the picture of a married couple that has gotten into the problem of being bland and the spark dying out. " This again?" sort of an impression. I wonder if Sam can't tell this problem is there, because a detachment and anger vibe creeps into his behavior too, especially in the last episode. I'm sure when Maddie creeps out to go do her running around with David, Sam assumed the worst, compounded by Maddie's lame explanation when she came back home. Consider the way she was dating in the first few seasons. Even by the time of "Symphony," she was still looking around. Doesn't seem to have any long-term relationships, all of them lasting a few days or weeks at the most. This could be one of the reasons the reappearance of Sam out of the past provokes a strong feeling of loyalty in her. He came back; he demonstrated a more than casual interest in her; must have been a welcome change from all the failed little attempts at relationships before. Clearly Sam was 'her type of guy' before. Why not now? It's not just that David was there. She was turned off by him in the beginning. It's the fact that they had real, day-to-day experience, constantly talking about everything, getting to know a vast amount of each other's opinions, plus saving one another from scrapes all the time. There's something about the bond between people who meet each other in a fender-bender or save each other from some kind of disaster, and this could be it. I think you could really be right about that. I wonder if she didn't try to be with Sam that night in order to make herself feel what she wasn't really feeling, namely, something that was as true and immediate as her feelings for David. She could have been trying to convince herself as much as anyone else--to 'gussy up' what wasn't really there, or was a pale imitation. She had failed for various reasons to get to David, or was afraid, and so if this were the only avenue left open to her, she may have to make something of it. Sam was the kind of guy who was "perfect for her." The intended "type. " The kind she'd always thought she'd wind up with. Same class, same background, same everything. But on the night she figures that out, whom does she go to see? ...Right.

He came back; he demonstrated a more than casual interest in her; must have been a welcome change from all the failed little attempts at relationships before. I see your point here, and it reminds me of something I noticed this time around in "Blonde on Blonde." When she was in Metropolis being hit on by all these dirtbags, I remember thinking how hard it must be for her to find a REAL relationship. First, I am struck by just how shy and innocent this woman really is. (She moves through the crowd like she’s embarrassed. She seems shocked and to not at all enjoy being stared at.) Problem number two: she is so beautiful (and famous for it) that men so objectify her they won’t speak to her (the gawkers) or make total fools of themselves when they do (the jerk who spills his drink on her). Poor woman goes out to meet someone FOR casual one-nighter and can’t even do that. I mean this poor woman. I imagine that Sam’s loyalty in “coming back” is huge for her since I’ll wager few people ever bothered to get to know her, let alone stick around when they found out she was more than a “poster.” Ultimately, I think Sam winds up treating her this way as well, but in S&D, I totally agree. For this particular woman, I’m sure, a little loyalty went a LONG way. Feel free to jump in here everybody else!

Also, I am quite convinced she says David’s name in the last shot when she’s just lying there awake. I just checked, and right about at the 46:02 point, you can see her mutter something. It looks like "Oh, no," to me, but I can't be sure. Good thing she kept it quiet, though, since it'd be (to say the least) pretty dangerous for her to actually say "David" loud enough to be heard. After all, she's not alone at the time!... ;D This odd moment is, in a way, echoed in the end of the next episode, when David and Maddie are walking up the street from the bowling alley. David turns around because Maddie lost step with him. He says, "Maddie?" and she blurts out, "Sam!" Cut to the shot of Sam waking up to realize Maddie is gone. The back-and-forth scenes, with these people realizing the wrong person is there (Maddie in bed), or that somebody is not where they are supposed to be (Sam waking up alone), are very important for the sense of jarring and disruption--of how confusing it is to figure out whom they really ought to be with.

It’s striking how Maddie’s devotion to Sam, triggered at least in part because he showed enough loyalty to come back to her after a long time apart, mirrors David’s rekindled interest in Jillian in the second season. I wonder if the writers planned out the stories that far ahead, in order to make this foreshadowing.
In both cases, one person ignored the other’s attempts to catch their attention and warn them off what looked like a bad decision from outside. They think the other person is just jealous of the reborn relationship and for that reason won’t listen to any advice, even though the truth eventually shows it wasn’t the best choice after all.
Funny how others can see what’s wrong with each couple—Maddie figures out that Jillian isn’t all she’s cracked up to be, Agnes and Bert suss out the weird vibes between everybody in the Sam triangle. However, in each case the couple in the middle, David while he’s with Jillian and Maddie while she’s around Sam, can’t tell what it really looks like to everyone else, and can’t seem to understand why others feel it’s wrong.
Again, the closing images in the four-episode sequence spell out not only what’s going on at the time, but what’s implied if you read between the lines.
It’s interesting to see that of the four episodes, the last three all end with scenes that have something to do with going to bed, in both senses of the term. We could even carry this principle over to the end of Blonde on Blonde, when David is rebuffed before he can even get in the house, because the other man got there first. (Under circumstances he was unable to prevent because he wasn’t there. I wonder if that isn’t why he was determined to stay at Maddie’s place until she got home, in I Am Curious. He wanted to be sure he would never be left on the doorstep again!)
Sam and Dave—there we see two different takes on the image, within the bounds of one episode. Sam drops David off at home not just because the man is too drunk to drive, but because Sam wants to be able to control where David is for the next little while—he doesn’t want there to be any chance that David will actually get to spend time alone with Maddie. It’s a clever move, a mirror of the way he tucks Maddie into bed in I Am Curious. Sam’s good and sure he controls the situation.
For David, there is the humiliation of being monumentally drunk and rendered utterly powerless—he can’t even walk by his own lights—and he is tossed bodily into bed by another man, his rival for Maddie’s affections. And the sleep isn’t even the way sleep’s supposed to be. It won't be a peaceful night, there's bound to be a wretched hangover (which there is, as we see the next day).
Then, of course, Sam goes home to Maddie, and what happens, happens. That’s not the only important thing about the scene. Note that when the two of them move to the bed, they’re both still dressed, and they’re on top of the covers. Very important.
At the close of scene, Maddie is still awake, Sam asleep.
Draw your own conclusions.
Given that she’s staring into the distance and muttering, she may not be the only person that night who wished they were somewhere else.
Oh dear.
(By contrast, in I Am Curious, we never see whatever moment it is when David and Maddie actually fall asleep. The next episode picks up with them waking up the following day. That's another key contrast with the scenes between her and Sam.)
Forward to the end of Maddie’s Turn to Cry. When the two of them are walking up the block, Maddie says she ought to go home and go to bed. And then she remembers who she’s supposed to be there with.
Sam wakes up alone.
Another instance where nobody is where they’re supposed to be, or (think they) want to be. These two scenes, the two different glimpses, offer up ideas of what happens when you think you’ve got it all figured out—that’s when you’re going to lose it. There’s confusion, and then there’s nothing.
Of course, the end of I Am Curious: there’s all that anger, as the confusion over being in the wrong place—David is there, Sam is not, Maddie is pressed to choose between the two states of life—is resolved in the titanic fight. The pent-up feelings were so strong that this is reflected in what happens to the room itself. The table, the fireplace—goodbye!
By the time we see them again upstairs, they’re both undressed, and note they get under the sheets. Like it’s natural and comfortable.
As if finally, they are where they belong.

I`m glad it`s not just me who feels this way watching that love scene between Maddie and Sam. I have always right from the very first airing of this episode felt that it seemed like Maddie/Cybill looked kinda awkward . Where it shows the most is on the bed when Maddie and Sam are kissing , it`s like they are not in sync, neither one knows which way the other is going to go and the whole scene looks very much like acting to me. Now i don`t know if was deliberate the way that Cybill chose to play the scene or if she genuinely felt `uncomfortable` with Mark Harmon, either way it shows on screen. In stark contrast is the love scene between David and Maddie , not only was there this intense heat and chemistry but if you watch it closely( to see this best it`s good to watch the scene in slow motion) but they just seem to gel with one another ,it`s like their bodies knew instinctively what do and which way to move (like they had done this before! ). And if you notice although David is the one to pull Maddie towards him, she is the one who moves in to kiss first ,now this brings me to another question .When Maddie says the next morning that it was all a mistake and she just got caught up in `the moment`then why did she make the first move, i mean she could have pulled away from David and said no but she didn`t why ? because she wanted it as much as he did! for me the only time that it loses that chemistry is when the body doubles are used. But it`s great watching that scene in slow motion because you really get to see how comfortable Bruce and Cybs are together like this plus it makes it makes the action last twice as long!.

lauraa, I am a big fan of slo-mo on this scene as well. It's true that even though David is holding her arm, Maddie walks towards him and moves in to kiss him first. Remember David's line a little earlier in the scene - " I don't want to force myself on you" - could be that's why he waits for Maddie to make the first move.

If you look, he has quite a strong grip on her wrist. It's not like there are many other places for her to go, and it's not like she could whup him in a fight. After all, she slapped him twice, as hard as she could-- and he just stood there[/b]. (Much the way Sam just shook off that first punch in the fight in the garage.) Their respective frames of mind are clearly very different. She never feels the same way about it as he does, afterwards, and the reason she acts confused is because she is. To say nothing of the moment itself--it was confusing! This was not as simple to figure out as it looked. Yes, she said she loved David and I believe she did, but let's not forget Maddie had anticipated talking to Sam that night. She had it all planned out how she wanted to solve the problem, one that would have allowed her to remain calm and happy, the way she prefers to be. Then David, being patently dishonest, does what he does. Let's face it, David was not supposed to be there and it cannot possibly be called ethical for him to lie there and tell her nothing until she got into bed. There is this huge emotional upheaval which takes place very suddenly. Referring to the scene where she finds out it's Dave and jumps out of bed, Maddie has only a few seconds to think it over and do something with that surge of fear and adrenaline. She felt sorry for David, as is clear from the discovery of the ruined office, but it's obvious this feeling evaporated when she found out he was lying in wait in her bed. His deception and exploitation of the moment infuriated her as much as the discovery that Sam had walked out on her. I fully believe at least some of her anger here is because she wishes she could be taking it out on Sam. She'd never fight it out with him. By contrast, she was used to fighting with David. Because Maddie tends to be a more secretive and less rowdy person than Dave, it's easy to miss out on the fact that Maddie has struggled with her own feelings just as much. Her decision to go home and tell Sam what she thinks is the mirror image of Dave's battle to be able to talk with her since Blonde on Blonde. Think about it: Maddie was throwing away a chance to settle down, get married, have kids, be with someone with whom she had a great deal in common. That's sad enough. And then this happens. It wasn't going to be a 'hooray, we finally have a chance to be together, cue the flowers and the violins' type of reaction. Couldn't be, for either one of them. Now here's something to think about: what would have happened if it had been Sam waiting for her, they had spent the one last night and he left in the morning, and then Maddie went back to work, having to try somehow to get in a 'normal' frame of mind--what could she possibly say to David the next time she saw him? (Assume David was never at the house that night.) Would she have panicked, lost it, chickened out, gone home sobbing? Would he have been so angry he just quit? Or would he have assumed she really wanted to be with the other guy and just gone somewhere to drink? Now, that's a quandary. I must be one of a small handful of people in the entire universe who sort of understand what's going on with her mindset the next day. Given that her entire plans for the future just fell apart, with Sam walking out, and then there's her unavoidable attraction for David, with whom she had fought nearly constantly for the better part of three years--it doesn't sound to me like it could have been much different. We all wish they could have just been smiling and full of fun, but I don't resent it that they weren't. Uneasy very much makes sense, considering who they are.

I love the in-depth discussion here! Just my 2¢, but I think that at the end, when Maddie is laying in bed with Sam laying across her, IMHO she mutters "Sam" and not in a "OMG, I love Sam, he's the best" kind of way, but rather in a "OMG, Sam, WTH did I just do?" sort of way. Just my opinion. But before reading this thread, I never even noticed she muttered anything, so thanks for the grreat discussion! honeyblonde

I've been so frustrated with Maddie's behavior in To Heiress Human, that I've been re-watching these Trilogy episodes very closely to try to track Maddie's feeling and frame of mind while everything transpires.
What I've been noticing is that Maddie spends most of these episodes making up her mind about what she wants and then changing it. And I don't mean that she's being fickle. I think she's genuinely torn, not between two men particularly, but between two lives. And really, that's been her struggle throughout the show. Does she want her old life (and her old self) back? Or should she move forward with her new life? But I digress...
I think at the point of this last scene, Maddie has kind of given up on David. I think she had an inkling about what he was trying to tell her and dinner and was hoping he would say it. But then they were interrupted and the next few hours were spent with David making an ass out of himself and Sam coming out as the more successful, more together, more appropriate choice. That's the conclusion I think she's come to while she's sitting alone in her room: that as much as she cares for David, as much as she wants him, their differences are just too many and Sam is the better man for her. I don't think she's happy about that conclusion, as is evidenced by the expression on her face, and I think she wishes things could be different and she and David could have something together. But her practical side says otherwise.
So she's decided she can't be with David. I don't know if she is necessarily sold on being with Sam, but he is there, offering her the world. And she does care about him. And if it weren't for her feelings for David, she probably would be nothing but eager to start something up with Sam. So she does something concrete to mark her decisision to put her feelings for David away and open herself up fully to the possibility of a future with Sam. Of course, once it's over, she realizes that making love with Sam did nothing to get rid of her feelings for David, as she's lying there, clearly feeling sad and clearly thinking of David.

That was a wonderful post. So well put! I'm always frusrated by THH also, so I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on Maddie's behavior leading up to that episode. I agree 100%

I always interpreted Maddie's far away look while waiting for Sam as a longing for David to tell her what he really meant to tell her in the restaurant. I do think that she has feelings for Sam, but is not quite sure what those feelings are at this point. A little later I think she knows. I always felt her feelings were revealed in her look at the very end.........Sam is safe and nice, but she really wants to be with David if only she knew for sure that David felt the same!!! Sigh..........those two are the most hard headed two people I have ever "known"!!! What would have happened if David managed to get out what he wanted to tell her that night before he became drunk? Hmmmmm.....the mind reels!! LOL
