Orange Is the New Black: Your Ultimate Guide to the Flashbacks

We get yet another look at Sam's past with his troubled mother during season four. When he was a child, Sam's father had committed his mother, and when she returned, she was different. She tried to ask for Sam's help, but he didn't understand, and he had carried the guilt for years after. Into adulthood, he hadn't been able to maintain a relationship and once had convinced himself that a homeless woman was his mother.
