Death Angels invasion[]

Day 1[]

On June 18, 2020, the day that the Death Angels arrived on Earth, Sam and Frodo were in New York City at a convenience store, where they saw armored military/police cars driving by. After exiting the store and returning to the bus back to the hospice, Everyone outside witnessed a meteor shower in New York's sky, with one of the meteors hitting the road not far from her, which shocked everyone, even Sam, on the bus. Sam later witnessed a few people near the crashed meteor, an injured man, and a soldier attacked by Death Angel immediately. Sam later hid temporarily, then walked slowly and confused, but an ambulance hit and exploded, attacked by Death Angel, causing her to be unconscious.

Sam encounters Henri.

At some point, Sam meets Henri, who urges Sam to remain quiet to avoid being discovered by Death Angels. They witnessed a Death Angel damaging display cases and breaking lights, causing the room to darken as the two remained silent to avoid detection. Sam and Henri, the bridges leading out of Manhattan, are being bombed to prevent the creatures from leaving the island.

The next day, the military announced evacuation preparation for civilians by boat from South Street Seaport because the creatures could not swim. Groups of people start leaving buildings towards the evacuation point, but the volume of civilians creates noise that alerts the creatures, who attack them and cause a stampede. Sam flees in the opposite direction and is separated from Frodo. She later meets Eric in the middle of escaping New York City, and then she gives Frodo to Eric.

Sam later was, presumably, killed by creatures while listening to music via earbuds attached to her iPod while standing in the middle of the street. After taking the earphone jack out of the iPod, Sam smiled, waiting for a creature to arrive, and one suddenly appeared behind her. The chances of surviving the attack are unlikely, but her exact fate is unknown.

Personality[]

Sam was a terminally ill cancer patient who lived in a Hospice Network in New York along with her service cat, Frodo. She was seen to be very pessimistic due to her deteriorating health, with her cat as her only joy. While the events of the invasion unfold, she slowly accepts her mortality and shows instances of selflessness. This is shown when she allows Eric to reach the boat of survivors and also allows herself to be presumably killed by the Death Angels.

Behind the Scenes[]

Sam was portrayed by Lupita Nyong'o in one film.
