Gnabberwocky:
As someone who isn't more than a few years older than Sam, she's a frustrating character to read. She consistently acts--and is treated as--closer to ten or so years old. I feel like she was closer to her actual age when she was first introduced than she is now.

A lot of people who aren't around kids/teens much really have very little idea of how to interact with them. As for how Sam acts, there's such a range in maturity at that age. Though "range" is probably the wrong word because there are so many different facets to maturity. I can see Sam seeming like she acts younger than she is, but I also know people around her age IRL who I'd say she acts more mature than.

All that said, I see how it'd be frustrating, too. I understand Bubbles' attitude here, but I don't love it.

I forget how old Sam was when she was introduced, so I'm not sure if you mean that you feel she's regressed in maturity or more that she's been stagnant?

Gnabberwocky:
Sam was 13 when introduced, so she's aged about a year. I feel like she has regressed since then. Then again, she didn't do all that much when we first saw her, so that might just be me confusing "maturity regression" with "character development."

The less said about that show, the better.

Oenone:
The other thing is, there are different facets to maturity that develop at different rates. Sam is VERY accepting of others’ differences, seems to accept her father’s partner, and her emulation of Faye is now coupled with more social awareness of her place in the hierarchy of the shop. She’s very thirteen in a lot of ways, for sure.

Bubbles is also a good intern coordinator.
