I see your point, MT. What the writers are making Sam do just doesn't make any sense at all. I did prefer the original Sam Evans, who was much more philosophical. But maybe DF just wanted out of the show.
Sam wears his dark glasses even while he's in a coma and in his hospital bed. Maggie and Joe reconcile at his bedside.
Sam insists he has to tell Vicki the dream. So Maggie very sensibly calls Stokes (she asks for Collinwood 572), who tells her to keep Sam from telling Vicki the dream, then hurries the hospital. But Joe goes to Collinwood and gets Vicki.
At Collinwood, Cassandra brings a lighted candle to the drawing room window and commands Sam not to die until he has told Vicki the dream.
Unfortunately, Vicki arrives at the hospital before Stokes does. Sam begs her, Please let me tell you the dream so I can die in peace. She refuses to believe Sam is going to die, but seeing how he is suffering, she complies with his frantic request. All right, Mr. Evans, she says, tell me your dream.
