It's the other way around with me, I don't mind bodily injury as I've already experienced the worst of it by nearly losing my arm when I ripped open my bicep climbing over a fence...get me near fish or onions and I can barely contain my stomach.

Panel 5: The moment that Jim remembers just how difficult it is to supervise Sam.

cybersmurf:
Well, at least Sam owned it up.

BenRG:
There is a lot of depth in this strip if you look. We can see just how deeply Jim cares for Sam; he does the usual male thing of masking it with anger but he's very upset that she's been hurt and nothing is more important to him than her well-being. Then you look at the photo of Sam in front of the Washington Monument and you realise that Jim values and loves her energy and the joy she finds in life. Then you see panels 4 to 6 and how he reacts to her confession and tears; he knows when she is being sincere.

Jim's job means that he doesn't spend enough time with Sam (certainly not as much as he would like) but he genuinely wants to do the right thing by her. I think he realises that, for a personality like Sam's, that might not be the obvious thing.

Finally, I find myself wondering just what was that previous incident to which Sam refers to in panel 6.

Personally, I think that's Jim processing just how sincere Sam is being and, as a consequence, just how important to her that her relationship with Faye has become.

Bad Superman:
While I am not exactly a fan of Sam, I think her being honest with her father and accepting the possible consequences (which I would view as 'dire' in this case, if it meant not being allowed to visit Faye and Bubbles for a while) deserves respect. 

I still wonder though if what happened in the shop will be the topic of a small discussion between Bubbles and Faye… Not in a "What the fuck did you think?" kind of way. More to the effect that they just cannot afford to make mistakes right now. If they fuck up, their business is done. This little accident could work as the ideal 'warning shot'.
