"It's kind of another example of how whipped Sam actually is. Carly controls her like it's the easiest thing in the world."

Interesting that you put it that way, Mak, because it is so obvious in retrospect. I was more aware of it on re-watches but really didn't get just how easily Carly controlled Sam (especially in comparison to Sam's relationship with other characters).

There is also a similarity in her relationship with Carly and her relationship with Spencer. Sam often seems more relaxed and at ease around Spencer in comparison to say Freddie, Gibby, Nevel, or others. It's canon that Sam has a crush on Spencer so maybe Sam unconsciously relaxes around those she has a genuine affection for (which would also explain why the Seddie arc never really changed Sam's character, because Sam had never shown many hints of relaxing around Freddie prior).
