History Recap / GreenEggsAndHam2019S1E10

** Being an {{expy}} of [[Film/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles Del Griffith]], it makes sense that Sam, like Del, would eventually confess that the woman he's most loyal too and whom he'd been building up throughout the story thus far isn't actually in his life any more (in this case, a mother who abandoned him rather than a deceased wife).

* TheReveal: Two ''big'' ones:
