a quad into the new year and that originally Sam wouldn't have got her kid back till 2013; I think where Liz would have lied would have been about the paternity; Liason would have been together and she would have found out the paternity and kept it from him leading at some point to Liason breaking up but I think it would have been more to put Jasam back together rather then a McBam/Jasam triangle.
I do agree though that Liason was her story at least for this year and that is why she is offscreen; I think she will be until he writes her into something new :(
