"Looking back, it's hilarious to me how tormented I was by the storm drain scene as a kid (It's so dark! It's raining so hard! And there are rats down there!). But watching Now & Then as a jaded adult showed me the reality of the situation: in the middle of the night, my good sis Samantha jumped into a f*cking storm drain to save a broken bracelet that she received about 10 minutes prior. She was insistent about going down there, even when my other good sis Teeny said they should forget the bracelet and head home. This lack of judgment on Sam's part is concerning, yes, but I've always connected to her as a character — which is why I'm just going to blame her dad for leaving, and her mom for walking around town like Nancy Sinatra."
