Gene's silence on Sam has always struck me as one of the more interesting elements on A2A - I mean, how weird is it that Ray is the one to explain how Sam died? At first I thought it supported some manner of Gene-in-a-coma theory to go that road (particularly if Gene's in a coma because he was in that same car accident as Sam, which makes way more sense than Sam driving alone anyway), but at this rate it's anyone's bloody guess what's going on. I just can't help but feel that, if pushed to that point, Gene's story of Sam's death would somehow vary from whatever Alex has heard from Ray and Jackie.
As for where Alex is getting what she "knows" about Sam and Annie (psst, your spoiler is showing), that's something else that baffles me, as it could only have been an off-screen conversation she had with Gene, Ray or Chris. Makes you wonder what else Alex "knows" about Sam's seven years that hasn't been revealed, but again, it also makes for sloppy storytelling.
