Ep 3. The Pill

Samantha Who? is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy show about a woman named Samantha who suffers from amnesia. She wakes up from a coma and has no idea who she is or what her life was like before the accident. As she tries to piece together her past, she realizes that she was not a very nice person before the accident and tries to make amends with the people she has hurt in the past.

In season 2 episode 3, called "The Pill," Samantha is feeling overwhelmed by her new relationship with Todd. She is unsure if she is ready to take their relationship to the next level, and is also scared of what the future holds. When she confides in her friends Andrea and Dena, they suggest that she go on birth control to ease her anxiety. Samantha agrees and starts taking the pill, but soon realizes that it is not as easy as she thought it would be.

As Samantha's hormones change, she starts to act differently. She becomes irritable with everyone around her and starts to make decisions that are out of character. She also becomes paranoid that Todd is cheating on her and confronts him about it, even though he has done nothing wrong. Samantha's friends try to help her see that her behavior is unusual and that it might be because of the pill, but Samantha dismisses their concerns.

As the episode progresses, Samantha's behavior becomes increasingly erratic. She starts to flirt with her co-worker, starts smoking cigarettes and takes a bizarre interest in cooking. When Todd confronts her about her behavior, Samantha takes it as an attack and breaks up with him. She is convinced that she needs to be alone and figure out who she is before she can be in a relationship.

As Samantha tries to navigate her new life without Todd, she slowly starts to realize that it might not be the pill after all. She has been so focused on her past and her amnesia that she has forgotten to work on her present. She decides to take a break from the pill and focus on herself. This decision leads her down a path of self-discovery and she learns some surprising things about herself.

Overall, "The Pill" is a funny and relatable episode that tackles some serious issues. It highlights the importance of communication in relationships and the ups and downs of personal growth. It also shows that sometimes the things we think are causing our problems might not be the root of the issue. Samantha has to learn to trust herself and her instincts, and in doing so she learns a lot about who she is and who she wants to be.
