@Lotstar: I don't see a smile. I don't see how anything positive can be taken from her demeanor during that entire conversation. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that. Whatever Sam's feelings were there though, I'm sure they'll be made known eventually.

@The sage2600: Trust me, I understand post break up symptoms quite well, but that's really neither here nor there. It's simply your interpretation that Sam's reaction isn't all that important and that it's more resigned than anything else. Nothing more than an ex mildly reacting to her ex moving on. My interpretation of that moment is vastly different. I don't think she looks resigned in the least. I think she looks upset and that isn't because I don't understand how things work post-break up. I simply don't read Sam's reaction as being resigned or that typical post-break up jealousy, nor do I think Dan would feel the need to highlight Sam's reaction the way he did if that's all it was. Dan's focus is on the funny. The moment he takes time to focus on a character's emotions, you know it's important.

On a more general note, I know a lot of people back in the day argued similar things against Sam's reaction in iSD. People argued that:

-she wasn't jealous

-it wasn't a big deal

-it was shock more than disappointment

-she was just upset over being turned down by Gibby

-she's happy for them

And the list continues. I kind of feel like this is that iSD moment all over again where both sides are seeing two totally different things. Now, who is actually seeing it the way Dan intended it to be seen? Well, only time will tell on that one.
