No plot advancement there, no story arc groundwork, no cheesy wisecracks, but plain character development: one old-timer having a discussion with one newcomer, and I think we learned more about the character of Cam, and Sam's relationship with him, in those 45 seconds of screen time than we have in 10 subsequent episodes. It just goes to show what they can do with good writing.
