What will become of Sam and Jacks relationship in the future?
The writers have expressed that the characters’ relationship has been essentially dealt with by the end of Season Eight. Because actor Richard Dean Anderson is no longer a regular on the show, viewers should not expect their relationship to find its way into many stories. A veiled reference here and there, such as Carter’s comment to N.I.D. Agent Barrett in Season Nine’s “Ex Deus Machina,” imply that they may have a continuing personal relationship now that she is no longer under his direct command.
