Although SAM appeared in only one episode, the series
finale "The Stringer," his introduction had a profound effect on MacGyver's
life.
He is the son of MacGyver and Kate Malloy, a photojournalist MacGyver was involved with in
his post-college years. After Kate was murdered by Chinese soldiers, SAM vowed revenge on
Chan, the general who executed her.
His chance for vengeance came when he and his father confronted Chan on a freighter, but
MacGyver talked SAM out of killing Chan. SAM and MacGyver set off on a motorcycle journey
together at the end of the series' seven-year run. |
