I agree; I like your theory and I'm hoping Sam's not going to be digging in, but I don't rate the chances of Ruth being able to hold a sensible conversation right now, and Sam's got to be desperate to stay. Ruth's cow-love baffles me somewhat. I've seen a lot of criticism of this storyline, and the writing of it, but I do think it's been quite well done, though I know I may be alone there.
Ian and Adam are thankfully not reflecting trauma; though Ian seems to me to be a man overburdened with stereotypes, well, rather a child overburdened, he and Adam bring me great joy, if only for their Brian-annoying skills.
