I agree with Lord of Angmar as to what Sam would do. I think that in the movie, anyway, Sam is too devastated by Frodo's order to really do anything. I imagine it would be the emotional equivalent of a parent telling their child that they don't love them anymore, and proceeding to abandon them (Denethor's movie conversation with Faramir springs to mind). It is a little annoying that he takes a while to come to his senses, and realize that he never would leave, not when Frodo was in such great danger, especially, but I still think that the shock of the order was too much for him to really think straight after that. It actually adds to the grief of "The Choices of Master Samwise" bit- the fact that not only is Mr. Frodo "dead", but he was never reconciled with Sam.
