It's one of the things I hated about the movies. Sam has a little Dutch angle moment, weighing whether to give back the ring with lots of facial expression acting.

It's been a while since I read the books, but I don't recall him really thinking to much about it. He just gives it back to Frodo, and as a reader, you're left wondering whether the ring just didn't have enough time to grab hold, or maybe Sam is just truly pure of heart.

Then you remember that Smeagol killed someone over the ring immediately. Sam is just that good of a guy. Better than Frodo, better than Bilbo, better than Galadriel, and even better than Gandalf.
