#6 "Rush to Judgment" (Episode 6, Season 6)
Sami: "I just remember feeling for Jamie when he tried to do the right thing and ended up injuring someone in the process. Cops have to make difficult decisions on a daily basis and his experience in this episode made that really clear to me."

#5 "Back in the Day" (Episode 11, Season 6)
Sami: "I loved seeing Frank grapple with the PR implications of the book being published about him. His values really shined through when he decided to have the book published anyways as it demonstrated how proud he is of his legacy. We should all aspire to be that confident in our records."

#4 "Down the Rabbit Hole" (Episode 20, Season 6)
"While it was, of course, scary to be kidnapped, I really enjoyed the opportunity to exercise my acting chops in this thrilling episode. Interestingly, this was not the first time that I was kidnapped on screen. I co-starred with Nicolas Cage in a film called Stolen. I played his daughter, and he tries to find me after I am kidnapped in the trunk of a taxi."

#3 "Backstabbers" (Episode 5, Season 6)
Sami: "This episode was so moving to me on both professional and emotional levels. As a college student, I can relate to the pressures that college students face on a daily basis and it was so important for us to demonstrate how damaging online harassment can be – even though my 'friend' was perpetrating the acts herself."

#2 "Unsung Heroes" (Episode 8, Season 6)
Sami: "I will never forget that scene where I see Frank get shut down by protesters. It was such a powerful storyline, because I could feel how conflicted Nicky felt – understanding the concerns of the chanting public while also sympathizing with her grandfather."

#1 "Blowback" (Episode 22, Season 6)
Sami: "This episode was so intense. I am a lover of politics (and a political science major in college) so it was fascinating to watch the political implications of the tragic shooting unfold on the screen. This story felt so ripped from the headlines and, as such, carried with it a heightened sense of realism."
