I think Season 4b will be a Freddie transition period. I think as of iOMG, Freddie still has feelings for Carly, but he's just not overly forward about them as he used to be (ie. season 1, 2). Dan has intentionally lessoned the amount of 'pining' moments Freddie shows for Carly, but his feelings aren't entirely gone. I remember in iDo, he wanted to rub Carly's foot after an old lady stomped on it. That wasn't too long ago.

That being said, he'll most likely grow out of his crush for her, and reciprocate Sam's feelings, hopefully not till the last episode, but then again, sitcoms have a tendency to ride waves like this to the finale.
