We have come to the end of an epic show that has nothing it can be compared to, and it is truly a loss for the masses.

In the season finale, Xander shows up to dinner, and it leads to a deep breath and complete exhale for many.
It’s a turning point of sorts. In some ways for the better, as shown by Sam, Frankie, even Xander (!) but, sadly, also for Duke.

With the girls growing up and becoming a slightly bit more amicable, it seems Sam is in for “Better Things.”
It’s Sam’s 50th birthday, and while Phil fails to give Sam what she wants, Frankie makes an effort and really, that is all Sam is asking for.
Frankie’s point of view, and why she is contentious with Sam is put out there, but whether or not Sam accepts responsibility is a whole different thing.
With Sam complaining about not being seen, you may think it is due to lack of intimacy but could it be just wishing she could talk to her dad?
