Samuel Wilder used to be Patty Halliwell’s Whiteligher and ended up falling in love with her, resulting in the birth of their daughter Paige, whom they put up for adoption. Sam never had any contact with his daughter, even though he had promised Patty to check in with her to make sure she had found a good home. Sam felt responsible for Patty's death because he distracted her while trying to protect her. This guilt caused him to shut down and ignore his white-lighter responsibilities and his other charges. He stayed at the lake where Patty had lost her life, and he clipped his wings, which made him mortal.

## **Reuniting with Paige**

**"I used to think you did not matter to me at all. If I never met you, my life would be perfectly fine. I guess, uh, the elders knew better after all. When you gave me up, you made a** **choice that gave me the most amazing gift. See, I got to have these tremendous parents and we loved each other fiercely, and now I have this whole new life with my sisters." Paige - Sam.**

Following his death, the Elders made Sam a Whitelighter again. Just as before, however, he lost a charge and subsequently abandoned his powers. He didn't "clip his wings," but nonetheless abandoned his duties and ended up becoming a self-pitying, drunken bum. In a plot to get Sam back on his feet and back on their "radar," the Elders assigned his long-lost daughter, Paige, to him as her first charge. After discovering who she was, Sam attempted to leave before she discovered his true identity. However, Paige was then attacked by a Darklighter's arrow, and Sam was the only one who could save her. Through his love of Paige, Sam gets over his self-pity, regains control over his powers, and heals Paige and Leo just in time. The two have an awkward but heartwarming conversation before Sam re-embraces his duties.

Three years later, Paige has once again given up on her biological father because they haven't seen each other since their last encounter. Sam contacted his daughter when a charge of his who disappeared in the 1950s, J.D., somehow re-emerged, not a day older and requiring help. He later admitted that he hadn't dropped by because he wasn't sure how to fit into Paige's heart as her father because he was never there for her. When the conflict was resolved, he promised to keep in touch more often so he could find a place in his daughter's heart.e.

### The first move

**“Daisies are my favourite.”  - Paige**

Henry made a few attempts to convince Paige to invite Sam to celebrate her 29th birthday, but Paige kept refusing. However, when Henry and Paige went to dinner, Paige was disappointed when Henry told her he hadn’t invited Sam behind her back, despite her getting angry earlier that day when she thought he had. Henry suggested it wasn’t too late to invite Sam, but Paige refused, stating it had been her birthday all day and Sam hadn’t bothered to come see her.

When they returned home, Paige discovered that her father had left her a bouquet of tulips with a note attached: stating that he knew the flowers didn’t make up for him not being there and giving an explanation as to why he had not come—an emergency with a charge. Paige initially chucked the note into the trash and stated she was only keeping the flowers because she liked them and not because they were from her father. However, Henry then caught Paige smiling as she sniffed the flowers before orbing the note out of the trash and hiding it in the flowers.

Paige wasn’t planning on telling Sam she was pregnant, but after some advice from her father-in-law, she changed her mind, realizing she wanted to have a relationship with her father. Paige told her father she was pregnant, and Sam seemed happy with the news. Paige then thanked her father for the flowers he had given her on her birthday, and Sam replied that he hadn’t known what kind of flowers to give her. Paige told him she preferred daisies. The following day, Sam sent her a baby blanket with a daisy sewn on. Paige appreciated the gift and whispered a thank you.
