Now that the kiss actually *has* happened, things have changed a bit. That said, I'm actually glad it did happen; I've never been a shipper for any of the characters, but I think the scene was very well done and has given us a lot to think about. More so, in fact, than if the kiss hadn't happened. The whole scene, first of all, was handled very much within character for everyone. I think an unexpected kiss fits Sam far more than a verbal confession of love and, of course, it leads to more interesting reactions after the fact. My favourite part of the whole scene was Sam's body language after the kiss. She sort of holds herself sort of uncomfortably, and her "sorry" is the most vulnerable we've ever seen her. It's beautiful and revealing and a bit heartbreaking all in one.

Meanwhile, Freddie and Carly are a lot more inscrutable. Freddie's "It's cool" was about as ambiguous as one can be under the circumstances and while Carly was clearly shocked, it's unclear how much of that was due to jealousy. So I think the kiss has left a lot of room for introspection. Dan played it remarkably well and it should make for some very interesting episodes in the future. My only hope is that it's not resolved immediately. I'd like to see how the dynamic of the trio's relationship changes with Sam's confession of feelings before she and Freddie get together (assuming as much happens). I think the show has some talented actors and I'd like to see how they handle a few episodes of uncertainty and tension.

(I just wish we didn't have to wait for months on end.)
