did anyone else feel a little sorry for Rebbeca when she was trying to figure out how to tell Sam she accidently set the fire? Or when she finnally did tell him and he yelled at her and said those things, then kicked her out and told her not to come back?
How about Sam, when he said his insurance wouldn't cover the fire, and later when he said he had been to a few banks and couldn't get a loan? Then had to sell his car, etc.?

For those who don't know, this was the episode where Rebbeca burned down the bar.

I definitely didn't feel sorry for her. I felt sorry for Sammy.

Rebecca was so pathetic that it was just a real downer for the show alot of the time.

I was upset with her when she tried to tell him, but I felt kind of bad at her when he yelled at her, but what he said was basically true.

I think if Rebecca had told him the truth from the beggining instead of making sam think it was his fault he would have been more rational

I agree, but remember, Sam had just been to 6 different banks, and had been turned down for a loan. That bar was his whole life, and now he was in danger of losing it.
I think the scene would've been better if, after he yelled at Rebbeca, he paused, turned to her and said something like "Rebbeca, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of that".
