@Phenglei Kai  You made a good and neglected point: NICK's bad habit of running episodes out-of-order. That makes it necessary for Dan's production company to make an episode "end" at the finale of its allowed time slot, so he can't make a storyline continue exactly as he might like. Therefore, each episode can't always build from the previous one and that makes "jumping around" on the romantic entanglements easier to do. Besides, as I mentioned earlier, it would also be too predictable for a straight-line 'Seddie' or 'Creddie' plot. A better way is to do twists in each episode, so you can't predict what's going to happen next, exactly as he did with the 'Sam loving Brad' plot, jumping to her loving Freddie instead. It was a twist--and I'm sure some people guessed it was going to be that surprise at the end!
