The fact that there was only one Creddie episode just supports the theory held by some Seddiers that at least some of the writers in Seasons 2-3 were way more invested in Seddie than Creddie. Arguably, isyl was, in fact, not the beginning of a (truncated) Creddie arc, but rather just a step TOWARD Seddie. After all, the big obstacle in the Seddie relationship is Freddie's irrational and obsessive love for Carly. When he finally gets what he thinks he wants, it is SAM who helps him realize he doesn't want Carly if she doesn't really want him back, for him and not what he did for her. This is a HUGE step forward from Season 1 FREDDIE, who appears to want Carly in whatever way he could have her (he even said he'd be her SECOND HUSBAND). And it is Sam who helps him make this psychological leap forward, because SHE really does care about him, for him, and knows he deserves better. (Also the thought of them together makes her want to puke up blood). When he listens to her, and realizes she was right, it just brings them one step closer together and removes the giant obstacle. That whole season FREDDIE grows up a lot- he even challenges his mother and moves out on his own. And the episode which was filmed after isyl (though aired in a different order) is iquit Icarly. In that episode, Sam may be expressing some latent jealousy behind her sudden intense feud with Carly, as well as some disgust with how she treats FREDDIE. There is that scene where they literally pull him in different directions and we're not sure who he would choose. But then he makes his choice, sort of- he pulls SAM from the window first, not Carly. Big step forward. The Seddie romance should have happened at the end of that season. But it was postponed for some reason.
