Take Two season 1, episode 8 preview: Will Sam’s child star past reveal key details?
By Reed Gaudens
In the latest episode of Take Two, Sam and Eddie investigate the death of a sitcom star from Sam’s past. Could her child star days provide the truth?
After Sam and Eddie survived a strange plot that cost them 24-hours worth of their memory and sent them under the sheets together, Take Two finds Sam taking another walk down memory lane. However, this time Sam knows exactly where she’s been, even if it might be as embarrassing as that time she was dumped in the middle of a red carpet event. As it turns out, Sam Swift isn’t just one of television’s biggest actresses. She was a child star, and her acting debut as a 12-year-old guest star on a ’90s sitcom is at the center of the latest case.
When Sam and Eddie take a deep dive into the accidental death of Ava Day, the star of the popular (and fictional, obviously) ’90s sitcom All About Ava, Sam most reconcile her past with her present. Sam made her acting debut on All About Ava as the title character’s little sister, but she never knew of the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of the sitcom’s set. The investigation takes a turn that shocks Sam’s notions about her past work as a child star and helps unveil the truth behind Ava’s death. Sam’s day job comes in handy in more ways than one on Take Two.
