Samantha Who? season 1 episode 7, The Hockey Date, follows the story of Samantha, a young woman who recently woke up from an 8-day coma with retrograde amnesia, and her attempts to rediscover her life and the people around her. In this episode, Samantha tries to impress a hockey-loving guy named Todd by pretending to like the sport, even though she knows nothing about it.

The episode opens with Samantha's friend Andrea asking her to go on a double date with her and her boyfriend Tony, and Tony's friend Todd. Samantha is hesitant, as she's never been on a blind date before, but Andrea insists and promises that Todd is a great guy. Samantha decides to give it a try, but soon learns that Todd is a huge hockey fan and she knows nothing about the sport.

Determined to make a good impression, Samantha enlists the help of her friend Dena, who is equally clueless about hockey. They watch a tutorial on how to play and strategize, but Samantha finds the rules too complicated and soon gives up. Instead, she decides to rely on her charm and wit, and hopes that will be enough to win Todd over.

At the hockey game, Samantha tries to impress Todd by cheering loudly for his favorite team and pretending to know the players. Todd seems to be impressed, but Samantha's lack of knowledge soon becomes obvious when she starts asking questions about the game. Embarrassed, Samantha pretends to get a headache and leaves the game early, much to Todd's confusion.

Later, at a bar, Todd confronts Samantha about her sudden departure and she admits that she doesn't know anything about hockey. Todd is shocked, but then admits that he doesn't really know much about it either, and he only pretended to be a big fan to impress Samantha. Relieved, Samantha and Todd bond over their mutual lack of knowledge about the sport and have a great time together.

Meanwhile, Samantha's mother Regina and her ex-boyfriend Winston are worried about her recent memory loss and decide to conduct an experiment to help her regain her memory. They stage a fake wedding proposal, hoping it will trigger Samantha's memory of her own failed engagement. Samantha is initially humiliated, but then realizes what they are trying to do and plays along. However, the plan backfires when Samantha becomes emotional and runs out of the restaurant, feeling overwhelmed by the pressure.

In the end, Samantha and Todd decide to go on another date, and Samantha admits that she's learned not to pretend to be someone she's not. Todd agrees, and they both decide to try new things together instead of pretending to be something they're not. The episode ends with a heart-warming moment between Samantha and her mother, where they patch things up and Regina promises to be more supportive of Samantha during her recovery.

Overall, The Hockey Date is a fun and light-hearted episode that explores themes of self-discovery, honesty, and the importance of being true to oneself. With its charming and relatable characters and witty humor, this episode is sure to keep viewers entertained and engaged throughout.
