I don't know how you could do a whole episode around Carly and Freddie's relationship. Now or back then, because the fact of the matter is that the development and Sam and Freddie has been chugging along (cause that looks like what Dan wants to do) and to be completely honest is makes more conflict and better story telling to throw Sam/Freddie in there BEFORE resolving Carly/Freddie. That's GOOD writing, not bad, as people want to make it seem. It arises a tougher situation and forces the subject to be brought up admits a lot of conflict oriented context, putting three people and their currently happening relationships into a pinball like situation, rather than just pausing ones development to resolve the other and then putting the other back into play. If Carly/Freddie gets brought up *because* of Sam/Freddie that is the -essence- of conflict and driven storytelling. We are forced to examine this tricky relationship and put it on the table while other relationships are also in the gamble.
