@Seddierebel2010: How you interpret that scene depends on how well you know the characters. Did Carly "go after" Freddie? Or more importantly to think about: do the events of iGoodbye suggest that Carly would have kissed Freddie had she not agreed to accompany her father to Italy? These questions would at least inform the context of that kiss.

And again, neither girl has dibs on Freddie. There are three relationships shared amongst this trio: Carly & Sam; Carly & Freddie; Sam & Freddie. Each relationship is special and in a lot of ways exlcusive to the others. Yeah, Freddie may have been Sam's first love, but Freddie is also one of Carly's closest friends--definitely her closest male friend. Although Sam's relationship with Freddie may have an influence, it in no way, dictates Carly's relationship with Freddie. The same is true for the other characters and their respective relationships. If Carly's motivations, for initiating a kiss with Freddie, were other than acting in the moment, then I have no doubt that Carly would have told Sam. Because, that's the type of person, through five years, she has shown herself to be. And bitter sentiments towards iGoodbye's ending doesn't change that.

Sam doesn't need to know that Carly kissed Freddie, because it has nothing to do with her. Had Dan made it a referendum on Freddie making a choice between Carly and Sam as far as his romantic pursuits are concerned, then Sam would need to know. However, Dan puts it out there that it was a moment of warm love and friendship shared by Carly and Freddie. And, I'm assuming that he wanted it to be a moment shared only by Carly and Freddie. Not everything that goes on between Sam and Carly needs to be shared with Freddie; not everything that goes on between Sam and Freddie needs to be shared with Carly; and yes, not everything that goes on between Carly and Freddie needs to be shared with Sam. Again, they all have their own special relationships with the other.

The two things that bothered me was the pacing of the episode as far as timing, and Freddie throwing his fists up in the air after kissing Carly. But as I said: "crying over spilled milk."
