Princess, I think the fact that you have to retroactively engage in all these mental contortions just to make the "Creddie was the plan" argument work, such as turning kissing into into "friendship," minimizing the significance of the season 1 and 2 hints, etc., proves the theory that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one: there was a lot of Seddie development, probably because that was the intention. Don't let IOAR get you down. It doesn't take a lot of mental gymnastics to see that the episode made a point of showing SAM's jealousy, not just the new crush. Why would they do that? Well, again, taking the simplest explanation, they wanted to show that Sam was jealous and didn't like Freddie wanting Carly again. The simplest explanation for that is, they wanted to show there were still feelings there. They would not have done that just to leave it out there, or to make Sam sad. It's not a drama. That plot point needs a resolution somehow, and not a downer one. (It was abandoned, true, but it needed one.). So, either Sam and Freddie were eventually going to acknowledge their past and possibly get back together, or, Sam was somehow going to come around to being ok with Creddie after showing that she was not ok with it at all. The second scenario is not supported by anything else that happened after that. Also, if they wanted to show she was ok with it, they really didn't need to show her NOT ok with it in the first place. I'm not just talking character-wise, I'm talking writing -wise- why throw in extra stuff you don't need? If you're really setting up Creddie, you don't do that, you just keep moving the Creddie story forward without a lot of extraneous stuff. The Sam/Freddie jealousy/feelings scenario, on the other hand, IS supported through other episodes: ipear store, iget banned. It was then abandoned. But that doesn't mean it never existed, and it doesn't automatically mean Creddie was the plan. Hope that cheered you up a little. :)
