Sammy and Tori's Story

Shelly sabotages Sammy's college application and that is the final straw for Sammy. She threatens to go to the police with information about Kathy Loreno's death, unless her mom cooperates with her college application process. And this threat actually works. So Sammy successfully reapplies and she eventually leaves home for college. But unlike Nikki, who's been completely cut off from the family, Sammy intentionally stays connected to her mother because she knows she has to stay in touch with Tori.
