...to lay down roots. And in the spirit of that conflict, Sam self-sabotages, accusing Lila of stealing the gift she's prepared for his mother.

To be fair to Sam, it isn't completely unfair to call Lila a thief (she did try to steal Earth on their first date), but their fight...

When the interaction with Josh steels his resolve to return to Kentucky permanently, reality sets in.

Lila is unanchored, or as Sam calls it, without roots. Her ability to teleport immense distances means her home is everywhere, a concept incongruent with his innate need...
