The one time (at the end of The Friendly Skies) Martin asks her out it's because he desperately needs to decompress from the case, and not because he has any romantic interest (IMO) in Sam.
Ditto with the stuff in the (absolutely horrid†) two part season finale—he's just worried about a hurt coworker, like he would be if it were anybody else on that gurney.
(Speaking of ill-advised and forced on-screen relationships, Martin and Sam have about as much chemistry as Chris Larabee and Mary Travis had on The Magnificent Seven—which is to say, absolutely none. Blech.)
