Those three episodes are a bad run - there's much fail in there. And it really breaks my heart, because there's little nuggets of awesome in there too, but who wants to wade through all that shit for tiny nuggets of awesome? (This metaphor totally fails, btw.)

With Pamela, my God. If Sam had stopped wailing and chest-beating, he could have called a fucking ambulance. Or driven her to a hospital. They made their point with the stabbing, she didn't have to die.
