Howard Meyers co-wrote this episode with Susan Meyers, whom I'm assuming is his wife. This may be why it is one of the better Sam episodes. It introduces Scott Bloom as Jesse Nash. (Oddly enough, although his character is 16 at some point this season, IMDB lists him as being only 14 on his series introduction.) Jesse works in a supermarket and Tony brings him home as a potential date for Sam. (Note that Sam is now in the 10th grade, with no explanation.) Unfortunately, he's into yoga and social causes, and he accuses Sam of being shallow. He does see the good in her, and she finds herself drawn to him in an opposites-attract kind of way. They kiss and Tony walks in on them but surprises himself and Angela by not throwing Jesse out. I like that they decided to go in a different direction with Sam's first high school boyfriend, unlike "cool" Chad and Todd.
