@Cartoon: I feel completely opposite. That scene showed that they understood that they were trying to be something they weren't and that they were changing themselves in the process. They had the maturity enough to step back and say "Hey, this isn't right, at least right now. I love you and I need you to know that, but this isn't working right now." Like I said, I think it makes complete since and certainly doesn't come out of nowhere given the context of the episode. Their relationship felt very awkward and contrived throughout the arc because they were trying to be a couple in the way that everyone else is, in the way that Carly told them to be. And it didn't work for them. They didn't know how to make it work at the time, but they had the maturity enough to know that, even though they loved one another, what they were doing wasn't quite it.

And Jennette does look uncomfortable but that's the point. Sam is uncomfortable. She's questioning their relationship and for the first time since they got together she's actually being forced to talk about it and confront it. It is uncomfortable, but it's supposed to be. If she were completely at ease, it would totally diminish the moment and their relationship. It's awkward and uncomfortable because it matters, because Sam Puckett, avoider of all things emotional, is being forced to confront her emotions. I think this scene was spot on.

Sure it was ultimately Dan's way of breaking them up in an attempt to return things to status quo, but if there's one thing he did right with that lackluster arc, it was the break-up.
