I agree with you that Carly probably had a feeling that Freddie liked Sam back, but still. Let's say, hypothetically, that Carly's plan had worked and Sam was ready to admit that her love for Freddie wasn't insane, but Freddie still didn't like Sam in that way. Sam comes to terms with it and asks Freddie out/kisses him or something like that. But Freddie doesn't like her. Freddie wouldn't want to hurt Sam, but I don't think he'd want to lead her on either. But if he said something like "Lets talk about this later" and then the next webshow they weren't dating, then everyone would know what had happened. And Sam would've been humiliated.

I don't think Sam needed something extreme exactly; I think she just needed Freddie to say he liked her back, to avoid the embarrassment Freddie had dealt with for years over Carly. Carly shouldn't have been pressuring Sam; she should've been pressuring Freddie. It was definitely Freddie's move. (And, luckily, he delievered. But it did take him the whole episode.)

Anyway, all I'm saying is that Carly's plan had a bit too many variables for my taste.
