fiancè), and they obviously share a moment. But suddenly they discover Linda has left Anton. He really had slept with another woman, someone in the bank to help with a loan. Maggie pushes Sam out, as Linda is now gone, and he runs into a desolate Anton, who talks him into joining him at his place. Maggie watches as they interact. The next day, she's there to spy on Sam when he sees and kisses Linda, and again spies on him that night as he helps a severely injured Anton he unintentionally got put into an upper body cast. Sam mentions Linda, which makes Anton realise something is fishy about Sam, and he attacks him. The upshot of it all is, Maggie makes peace with Anton, Sam comes clean with Linda and in the closing there are two couples: Sam and Maggie, Anton back with Linda.
