I think the disconnect here is that pieguy reviewed from a casual viewer standpoint. There were lots of plot issues if you don't speculate based on past episodes. From a Seddier standpoint, the motivation was clear in that Sam wanted to be around Freddie as much as she may be mad at him. But there were definitely better ways to deal with that post-breakup tension. I agree with it being too mean-spirited even if you take those motivations to be clear. For me, they took a private issue they needed to deal with and avoided it (which you can argue is what they do) and then brought it to a work setting. Drenched you bring up good points that Freddie sorta started it and it's clear they're experiencing some things after their breakup but the whole thing still feels off and for a couple that came so far with their development and little moments showing each other they actually did care and the hate was just a game, it was uncomfortable for me to watch. There goes another problem of Sam's behavior being based off Freddie's in iOAR - if I did accept his behavior there then I would basically want to wish him no happiness ever in future episodes cuz the writers already threw his character away. But thank you guys for pointing out the timeline cuz I wasn't paying attention to that. Did the writers really just expect the mentions in iOAR to be proper development for the kiss in iGoodbye...
