Samantha Who? season 1 episode 4, titled "The Virgin," finds Samantha (portrayed by Christina Applegate) struggling to navigate her new life as a kinder, more considerate person after waking up from a coma with retrograde amnesia. In this episode, Samantha's friend Andrea (Jennifer Esposito) sets her up on a blind date with a man named Owen (recurring guest star Barry Watson).
Samantha is nervous about the date, but her curiosity is piqued when Andrea reveals that Owen is a virgin. Samantha sees this as an opportunity to have a little fun and take advantage of his lack of experience. However, things don't go quite as planned.
When Owen arrives at Samantha's apartment, she realizes that she doesn't know how to act around a virgin. She tries to play it cool and make him feel comfortable, but her lack of experience with this kind of situation shines through. As the date continues, Samantha starts to feel guilty about her initial intentions and genuinely starts to like Owen.
Meanwhile, Samantha's mother, Regina (Jean Smart), is up to her usual antics. She's written a book about her daughter's coma and is in talks with a publisher. However, Samantha is uncomfortable with the idea of her mother profiting off her personal experience and tries to put a stop to it.
As the evening progresses, Samantha and Owen continue to get to know each other. Samantha is surprised to find that Owen is charming, sweet, and funny. She begins to see him in a different light and starts to genuinely enjoy his company. However, just as they're making a real connection, Samantha's ex-boyfriend, Todd (Barry Bostwick), shows up and throws a wrench in everything.
Overall, "The Virgin" is a lighthearted episode that explores Samantha's growing pains as she adjusts to her new life and tries to make amends for her past mistakes. It's also an episode that highlights the importance of honesty and communication in relationships. Despite some predictable plot points, the episode is entertaining and the guest stars are enjoyable to watch.
