SHE'S ALWAYS READY TO (DIS) PLEASE!
In this new season, Sam, the rebel teacher we all would have loved to have, has decided to live alone. That's the price of freedom, which she values more than anything. With her students, children and lovers alike, she still relies solely on her instinct and defies the rules. But when she learns she has cancer, our wonder woman has only two choices: keep forging forward, or come to terms with her fragility.

Sam can't get herself to tell friends and family about her disease. Not even Raphael, who is ready for a committed relationship with her.

Episode 18: Adam
Sam realizes she really screwed up. She decides to make herself into the perfect patient, teacher and mother. But when she finds out that one of her students may be a victim of abuse, she can't help herself. She has to get involved! And what will she do when she finds herself in Xavier's arms, on the verge of kissing him?
Episode 19: Capucine
After spending the night with Sam, Xavier is riddled with guilt: should he tell Samia the truth? Meanwhile, Sam is worried about the results from her latest lab tests. She takes a hard look at her life's accomplishments and comes to the conclusion that she's been totally worthless, both as a mother and a teacher.
Episode 20: Bettina
Though Sam has placed her trust in Bettina and given her special treatment, Bettina betrays her. Sam realizes she can't save everybody. She takes a big step forward in the way she relates to men, and to Xavier in particular.
