His sleeping around in Season 1 was probably deemed a major criticism of the character’s first season. I suspect that the writers led with this episode because they wanted to re-establish Sam’s moral clarity to an extent. In fact, in the Season 2 premiere, Honeymoon Express, the subplot of the episode was Sam’s effort to avoid doing honeymoonish things with his host’s new bride. In season 2, Sam fell in love with his host’s love interest much less often. Not only that, it occasionally distracted him from being mission-oriented. By the end of the season, it began to feel gross. Sam Beckett in Season 1 had a terrible habit of falling in love, immediately, with whatever woman was his host body’s romantic interest.
