Locke's brother, Duncan, saw what happened, so they had no choice but to remove his memories and use the Plant Key to hide them. Tragically, Locke is forced to kill Caravaggio and the keepers somberly disband. To make up for the bad decisions he made that destroyed an entire family, Sam will likely keep finding new ways to help them battle new threats.Twenty-five years ago, the Keepers of the Keys - consisting of Rendell Locke, Kim Topher, Jeff Ellis, Mark Cho, Erin Voss, and Ellie Whedon, and her boyfriend Lucas Caravaggio - used one of several magical keys, the Omega Key, to open the Black Door, leading to the possession of Caravaggio by a mindless shadow demon. Just a teenage boy yearning for love and acceptance from somebody. Despite his heinous murder of Rendell Locke, Sam was actually never a bad person to start with. While Sam only got to help out this one time, he'll likely continue helping the Lockes posthumously in Locke & Key Season 3. Without his guiding Kinsey into finding the harness with the wings, the Lockes would not have had the tool to successfully sabotage Dodge's new reign of terror. Sam's help was crucial to the Lockes' triumph over Dodge. This plan failed, but Sam later successfully guided Kinsey Locke to a harness hidden in a chimney that could help her in a fight against Dodge.

Not wanting to let Dodge succeed, Chamberlain purposely gave him misleading instructions for crafting a new key while Sam attempted to take over Gabe's body and leave Dodge's soul floating around Keyhouse grounds. In an attempt to get back at Dodge (now posing as Gabe) for the betrayal, Sam's ghost learned about his current plans in the Locke family cemetery with Chamberlain.

This triggered some of Sam's BPD symptoms (in this case, emotional instability), which Dodge counted on to leave him vulnerable to manipulation.īefore Season 1 ending, Sam realized the error he made in trusting Dodge but didn't get the chance to redeem himself, which is where his storyline picks up in Locke & Key Season 2. This made Sam question the sincerity of Tyler's friendship and especially Rendell's willingness to help him. In reading his own file, Sam learned that Rendell had listed him as developing symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder and that he purposely asked Tyler to befriend Sam in an attempt to mitigate his fully developing the disorder in adulthood. This effort by Rendell was easily exploited by Dodge, who manipulated Sam into reading Rendell's files on him. He reasoned that by exposing Sam to a more positive relationship, he could start to build a healthy support system and move away from the toxic environment of his home. He attempted to help Sam change his behavior by asking his son Tyler to befriend him. In the flashback sequences of Locke & Key Season 1, it was revealed Rendell was a high school guidance counselor who took a special interest in Sam.
