I think it was very poor writing, to use the only scene the two had together iirc (in a finale no less!) to troll a ship that the writers knew was going to get pooped on minutes later when Carly made a move on Freddie for the first time since iSYL.

I can only guess that Dan wanted to 'throw a bone' to the Seddiers, and yet again underestimated them, believing they'd be happy with a throw-away line/joke.

When they clearly would not.

Anyway, my view on it is:


 * Freddie intended it to be a jokey, off the cuff, effectively 'playing' with Sam, expecting her to come out with her usual "hardy har not if you were the last guy on earth" typical Sam response.


 * Sam didn't do that. Instead she said "Do you?" line.


 * At which point Freddie panics. There's some good acting from Nathan (which a lot of people didn't notice), he raises his eyebrow and has a look of shock, and doesn't know how to respond so he completely ignores it all and kills the conversation.

It's similar to the Creddie scene in iOwn A Restaurant, where he throws out the is it too late for me to love you. Difference being one is a joke, the other isn't.

When Carly doesn't immediately respond in the negative Freddie panics and he shuts down the conversation. I have no idea what Freddie is expecting from Carly however, because it was an odd thing to say if you aren't willing to follow up by kissing her all over if she says "I dunno, give me your best shot" and giggled at him.

Same with the phone call, except it's not face to face, it's over the phone, his body language at the start indicates he's unlikely to be serious and then after neither girl responds in his expected manner he panics. He's expecting a joke, doesn't get it, panics.

Not to mention he then makes out with Carly and celebrates it.
