"I'm gonna be right here, honey ... It's okay."
Even though I know what comes of this, I still love this scene. Except now, when I watch it, I yell at Brooke not to let her go! I mean, I knew Sam was leaving when I watched this for the first time, but still. Sigh. It just shows how selfless Brooke is, not only going with her to see her birth mother, but actually convincing her to go in the first place. I love them holding hands, it's so adorable, as are the shots of Brooke pushing her inside, and then Sam turning around to look. Which brings me to my favorite part of the scene - the way you can see Brooke plastering on her fake smile when Sam turns around. She's standing there with a sad/blank look on her face, but then immediately throws up the fake smile when Sam turns around, encouraging her to go. SO. SAD. As is the slow zoom in on her face as she watches Sam go up to Rebecca. This really was the beginning of the end, but I love it anyway.

"My home is your home now, Sam."
I had quite a few choices for this slot, and it was basically just me deciding which scene I liked best from this episode. There was the cute breakfast scene, the adorable little moment of Brooke being a total mom by taking pictures of Sam being all happy, and this one. Obviously, I decided on this one because it had the most meaning. I loved Sam trying to act like she didn't care, like it would be just like every other time a foster parent has gotten rid of her for a new bb, but she obviously cared a lot. And Brooke knew it, and did such a great job of reassuring her. I loved how forceful Brooke was in this scene, it warmed my heart. And the way she raises her eyebrow after Sam just nods when asked okay, making her say it out loud, aw. Plus, their first hug! Obvs this had to be on the list!

"I am so proud of you."
This scene has such a special place in my heart because it totally snuck up on me. The two of them didn't have any other interaction all episode, and any previous episode, it was rare that they'd just have one scene per episode, either Sam had a storyline that was seperate, they shared a storyline, or Sam wasn't there, but I got so excited when I saw Sam sitting at the kitchen counter and Brooke walked in. I was just happy for a scene, little did I know it would totally make me swoon. Everything about this scene is so perfect, okay? Sophia and Ashley rocked this scene with their expressions alone. The look on Brooke's face in the fourth cap when Sam tells her about winning the contest? Makes my heart swell, you have no idea. As does the way she says 'Sam, that's amazing.' She just looks and sounds soooooo proud, omg. And Sam's smiles throughout the whole scene at Brooke's reactions are so touching - you know nobody's ever been proud of her before. And Brooke put it on the fridge! I just died from this scene, okay?

"Honey, you'll always be a Davis to me."
This scene makes me want to cry every single time I watch it. It never gets any less sad, but it's also perfect. Knowing this was gonna be Sam's last episode going in, I was both exciting and dreading it. I knew it would be the end, but I knew there had to be something epic in it before she left, you know? And I was totally right. As much as I hate Mark for writing Sam out, I can't complain too much because it gave me this scene, and they sad pretty much everything I ever wanted them to say. We had always had indirect ILYs, with Brooke saying she didn't get the chance to say it to her, with other people saying the other loves them, etc, but we got Brooke saying it twice in this scene! And not just saying it, but adding 'very much' and 'no matter what' onto it, so that is obvs A+ to me. Then there is, of course, pretty much calling her a Davis! Swoon. The look on Brooke's face when Sam says she'll always be her first mom is just gah. The way Sam can barely get anything out, because of her crying, is so sad and awesome at the same time. I totally get why Sam had to leave, because of Brooke wanting to adopt her, that is forever, and she had just met her birth mom, and she couldn't commit to that without exploring that other option, but still. Killed me.

"... I need you, mom."
Obviously this had to be number one. Nothing will ever beat the epicness that is this scene. It's one of the best Brooke scenes ever, and the fact that it's a Brooke/Sam scene too, makes it unbeatable in my book. Before this episode, I hadn't felt much for Brooke/Sam. Then the episode before this, I really started to warm up to them, then over the hiatus, seeing the promos of Brooke telling the cop she was looking for her daughter, I started to get really excited for the episode. And she was so frantic all episode, I was totally starting to ship them, and then this scene happened and this hug happened, and I was a goner. The way Brooke ran back into the house to save Sam, knowing X was the one that attacked her, screaming for Sam's name, grabbing her face and screaming that she wasn't gonna leave her there, I was eating it all up. Then that line came. I absolutely hated it at first, but I've come to love it, really. Especially since it's the only time we got to hear her call her that. I don't love it as much as the way the music in the background stops and Brooke looks up at her, and all you can hear is her breathing, gah. Seriously, the look on Brooke's face kills me. All throughout that scene she refused to take her eyes off X, but then Sam said it, and totally snapped her out of her, and that's why I can love that line now. But the best part of this scene is the hug. Pretty much my favorite hug of all time, ngl. Brooke is just holding on for dear life, it's heartbreaking and adorable. You know would have been awesome? If they showed everyone in bed in the coda, instead of just LP, and if they showed Brooke crawling into bed with Sam in the middle of the night, like afraid to leave her alone or something. That's totally canon in my head so whatever. But seriously, nothing will ever be more epic than this scene. Sammy, come back!
finish.
