Sam : Dude, am I gonna need to give you an attitude adjustment, because I swear -

It may sound strange, but I actually consider this part of "iHire An Idiot" to be a good Seddie Friendship moment.

Not because Sam threatened Freddie (which is nothing new), but because Freddie did not seem impressed by her threat. He knows that Sam can beat him up, and she actually has, in the past. But he's not knuckling under to her anymore.

And that, to my mind, indicates growing strength in their friendship. A true friend will tell you to go to **** if they feel you need to hear it, and Freddie seems more willing to do that now than he has in the past.

It reminds me of the way he tried to stand up to her in "iBelieve in Bigfoot," even though he knew he could get his butt kicked. (Judging by Sam's confrontational glare in that scene, it seems likely that it would have come to blows if Carly hadn't intervened.)

By the way, I know that some folks would say that Freddie is standing up to Sam more now because he's grown bigger and, arguably, stronger than she is.

Which, frankly, I think is a bit silly. The show has established several times that Sam is capable of defeating opponents who were literally twice her size, and in one episode she actually RIPPED A CHAIN LOCK OFF A DOOR (though, admittedly, that was fueled by anger.)

I would imagine that, in real life, Jennette McCurdy is nowhere near as strong as Nathan Kress. But on the show, the writers have well established that Jennette's character is more physically powerful than Nathan's. You may not think it should be that way, but it is.

You can't just pretend that a T.V. show's established canon doesn't exist, simply because you don't agree with it.
