I would say iKiss too. But really even in that episode she really just jumped at the idea of the kiss too quickly. She knew what Freddie was going to say and made him come out with it and then finished his sentence. Sam was pretty anxious for their first kiss to happen and I don't think she really cared about getting it over with. I don't think she was aware of feelings before that but I do think the moment she realized she could kiss him right then she jumped at the chance.

I agree with others that her feelings developed over time. I think at first she really did dislike him. Mostly for constantly butting in on her relationship with Carly. But in some ways I think she developed a little crush over the first season. I think she liked that Freddie fights back, which he did from the first episode. Whereas most people just let her beat them or pick on them.

I think by Season 3 its pretty much subtly established that she likes him. I say this because there was absolutely no reason for her to bring up the kiss, of all things, to Carly at the dentist. I still think Sam is the type of person to ignore and push down any feelings. But I don't think she could ignore the fact that she was really upset at the end of iSpeed Date. And even if she was completely honest about her reasons when she gave Freddie the Bacon Talk in ISYL, she still cared more about Freddie getting hurt than how Carly would feel about that talk.

I think by Season four Sam's crush and attraction started to get more serious. And she started responding erratically. Going from making excuses to be with him and hanging out with him a lot to hurting him in a sort of forced way. Like, before fighting came easily and now she has to remember to do it. Its doesn't feel natural anymore.
