Wait, what kind of friends prevent their best friend from leaving to live with her father in Italy for a year? Carly has been away from her father for 5 years and the whole episode made it obvious that it was finally taking a toll on her. It would be like the season 1 episode iTransfer Schools, where they were trying to keep Carly from going to Briarwood, again. At the end of that episode they learned that what a true friend would do is allow them to be happy going anywhere they wanted to go. I think what Sam, Freddie, Gibby and Spencer did was probably the biggest showing of true friendship I've seen on this show. I personally liked how the ending worked, it was filled with love and respect and ? caring, no unneccessary humor or any of that, it was emotional and real and perfect.?

I personally feel there was no endgame, which is for the best, yes Carly kissed Freddie and Freddie was excited about it, but that was it. She left and that's that. I think it's the way the episode should have ended.?

That said, I agree the first part flowed really well and was quite well done, her father came earlier than I thought he would, but I think it was just a remnant from the original 30 minute episode. I think those final 15 minutes were some of the best the show has ever done, just from the pure emotional standpoint. It connected with the fans and it showed what true friendship is. I have no problem with it at all. I couldn't have asked for a better ending.
