The bottom line is Dan wanted to have Creddie last one episode. Letting the relationship "run its course" doesn't facilitate that. Sometimes TV show characters and their behavior can map on to real life, and sometimes they can't. Depends on the situation and the needs of the producer.

(Oh, BTW: The next time that Carly hides what she's feeling when it comes to romance? It'll be the first time. She just aint that type of character. She's not hiding anything, or afraid of anything, or feeling "awkward" when it comes to Freddie. If she's interested in someone, she moves on them. Anything else is special pleading, IMO.)
