Samantha Who

So, she still can't remember things- and it's still funny (I was worried it would get a little old).

Samantha starts crying at the ice cream shop while tasting the flavors to find out which one she likes. The Bangles "We got the Beat" comes on and for some reason it makes her cry.

Then, when she is debating with her ex whether she was mean to all the men she ever dated, a random guy stops on the street and points at her and screams and turns around and runs away- shouting something about a restraining order! Turns out, best friend Andrea knew all about it, and was representing her over it- she kidnapped his dog!- and Samantha wants to make it all better- to try to set the guy (Nathan) free from his fear of her.

She finds his address, goes to talk to him (but he won't open the door) and he sneaks away out the fire escape.
She waits for him in his car (yeah, she can break into cars) and while she is convincing him that she is normal, a car drives by playing the Bangles song again, and she starts bawling...

Andrea diagnoses that the reason Samantha wants attention to the point of the restraining order is because of her 'Daddy Issues' because her Dad didn't pay any attention to her. Samantha decides to get a gun and join her Dad when he goes hunting at the start of hunting season (conveniently starting the next day).

So early the next morning, she makes coffee and is ready when her Dad comes down to go hunting, and tells him she wants to come with, and he says no, he wants to hunt alone. So she sneaks into the backseat of his car- but he takes the other car! Samantha harangues her mom to drive her to the hunting place, but when she shows up, her dad is less than happy. She gives up and goes to the store to return the rifle. (and hilariously, as she is bitching about how she is so mad at her dad she could kill him, with rifle in hand, the guy with the restraining order shows up right in front of her!)

At the police station, her Dad is the one who picks her up. She has a memory flashback of another time when her dad picked her up when she was younger, after a horrible haircut, and the Bangles song comes on and she fights with her dad and cries- cut back to them in the car now, and she is finally able to talk to her dad.

Cute!
