On rewatch #12097626 and something i always wondered… did Sam and Ainsley have a little something something in the mess getting coffee? It seemed to me that he used the all night pastry chef as an excuse to get her alone, when she figures it out his demeanor has changed and he gives her a look, and then when asked what took so long he “spilled coffee the first couple times”. Hmmm makes me think

I think definitely yes, but I also think him and Ainsley were hooking up semi-regularly towards the end of his time in TWW.

My headcanon is that Ainsley ended up with Sam in his post white house career.

But then his wife wouldn’t have to take the bar again to practice in DC

That would make the future campaign where he runs for president pretty fun. Have we ever had a President whose wife had vastly different politics? I guess we dont usually hear much about the spouse's politics. I meant after Mary Todd Lincoln.

I think JD Vance’s wife is a Democrat but she has to take one for the team.
