About
Following the incident of crossing over from the parallel universe, Nina Sharp recommended to Olivia to meet Sam Weiss (Night Of Desirable Objects). According to her, he is not a psychologist but was able to help recover from her ordeal. Olivia later discovered that the man is working as a bowling alley manager. Sam Weiss predicted that Olivia will get the headaches.
In Fracture, Sam Weiss helped Olivia recover from her shaky hands by asking her to tie shoelaces. He told Olivia that he helped Nina Sharp control her robotic arm by teaching her how to eat french fries. Sam realizes that Olivia was not sleeping well, and she confessed that the headache he had predicted could be coming true. He explained that Olivia might be experiencing acute nominal aphasia and that some of her memories are still inaccessible. Her legs recovered after confronting Sam Weiss for playing mind games with her.
In Dream Logic, Sam asked Olivia if she could collect business cards from people wearing something red. He later advised Olivia to circle one letter in each name from the business card, both first and last, then find a phrase out of those letters. This technique eased off grieving Olivia.
In Olivia. In The Lab. With The Revolver., Olivia once again visit Sam in the bowling alley, seeking advice for her sleeplessness and secret she is hiding. Sam was able to help Olivia in cracking the case when he cryptically shared his childhood memories in the middle of a Clue game.
In Over There, Part 2, a chalk board in Walternate's lab has the words "A DEMONS TWIST RUSTS" written on it. This is an anagram for "DON'T TRUST SAM WEISS". In addition, the glyphs for this same episode spell "WEISS".
