Samson fell for this girl, hook, line, sinker. i'm sure he thought he could trust her. beautiful babe + endless nagging = babe getting what she wants. history shows us this happens almost everytime, without fail.<br /><br />especially when the dude is a macho man with a huge ego and not a whole lot of brain and/or willpower.

Did he not care about having his strength taken from him whether or not he would be immediately called upon to use it or not??

When she said "they're upon you" he broke out and so they never came for him. That makes sense, right Hannah? I always wondered that, too, but I never considered that maybe they never showed themselves so he just thought D was joking with him. Good call, Reagan.
