@Passionate Seddier45: I don't think jealousy was exactly what Dan was trying to portray in iOaR. It was to necro the threat of Creddie -- because it was the only thing that could threaten a seddie dynamic. It was a way to stir drama? How does one stir drama? Introduce conflict. The conflict, however, was not with Carly but with Freddie, and his feelings. His response to Sam, when she cites his "new little crush," was quite telling. There are two that I think that might have informed his sheepish aversion of Sam's question:


 * 1. He was trying to spare Sam's feelings. I don't believe this to be true. If his resurged crush on Carly was genuine, he would've answered affirmatively, especially since Sam was no stranger to Freddie's crush on Carly. If they wanted to go beyond provoking a reaction from Sam, they would've given it a bit more context.


 * 2. He didn't want to close that door between Sam and himself. Not knowing whether or not Carly would reciprocate, telling Sam, "no," though unconvincingly, Freddie could preserve the option. It's my opinion that Freddie's behavior in iOaR was reminiscent of one who's on the rebound (possibly as a result of the previous episode, iGOD.)

I agree that Sam only worked at the Pear Store to be closer to Freddie.
