I can see where you guys are coming from, and I agree that it was a moment for Seddie, but I believe it was just as a moment for Creddie.

Them ending on the shot of them dancing, and Carly putting her head on his shoulder after Sam leaves is the Creddie moment I believe. And again I point at the fact at Sam's reaction, which is one of hurt jealously because she sees something. The fact that she has something to be hurt by is a Creddie moment within itself too.

As for the follow up, as a Creddier I believe that it hasn't been followed up for a reason, and that's because I believe it's going to be played out later in the series. Apart from the kisses and Freddie saving Carly's life I think iSYL wasn't a very good episode at representing the Creddie relationship.

It was "faked" because of Carly acting herself and getting carried away. I believe the fact that they left it opened ended and didn't give a solidified, "you're right, I'll only ever love you as a friend" means that they eventually will conclude/continue their relationship. Maybe you'll agree with me @Arch because you mentioned you were a writer, and perhaps I'm looking too deep into things, but why is Dan consistent in showing Carly acting "immature" and "unsuccessful" with relationships? I can't help but feel that this characteristic is being built up for Carly's character development. I can't help but notice how often she states that she wants a boyfriend or how she tries to "act" as someone else when she dates another guy.

The dance is probably the BIGGEST Creddie moment, and that's because it's the only time we see Carly genuinely being comfortable, herself, and mature with another guy. Freddie is the only guy in any of Carly's "relationships" that she is herself around.

I think the reason the dance/iSYL hasn't been brought up is because Carly's the main character of the show, and because she is the main character of the show Dan is going to have to develop her character at a much slower pace. It's only now that it's becoming more and more apparent of Carly's desire to have a "real" boyfriend. The arc-iQ so far is exaggerating it heavily. I believe this is building up to a Creddie moment, endgame or not. :)
