Cam Relationship

CAM is the term for the canon friendship and probable relationship of Sam Puckett and Carly Shay. Ever since the first episode of iCarly, the Cam friendship has been established as a major, unbreakable force driving many plotlines of the series. In many other episodes as well, it has been hinted that Carly and Sam have a more serious relationship than what might be initially obvious. Many prominent supporters of the Cam relationship theorize that Dan Schneider includes large amounts of subtextual Cam moments in iCarly because of the improbability of an actual lesbian relationship on a children's show.

Spencer Shay and Freddie Benson have both supported this ship in several episodes, such as IDon't Want to Fight, IReunite With Missy , and IQuit iCarly.

Normal Occurrences of Cam:

 * On their webcasts and on many other occasions, Sam and Carly are in very close proximity to each other.
 * In most episodes, they share glances with one another, whether happy, sad or fearful.

 * Both of them have moments where they can tell what the other is about to say and stops them.
 * Whenever she isn't hanging around Carly, Sam is willing to help Spencer and enjoys spending time with her best friend's brother.
 * Sam constantly teasing and pranking Freddie could be a way of "marking/defending her territory" when it comes to Carly.
 * Neither Sam nor Carly's relationships with other people last longer than one episode, yet their friendship remains intact, and seems to get stronger because of those failed relationships (Ex: Pete, Jonah, Shane, etc...).
 * Sam and Carly have similar taste in boys.
 * A handful of Seddie/Creddie moments have Cam undertones as some scenes are never clearly resolved.

 * Melanie shows attraction to Freddie. Since she is displayed as being the total opposite of Sam, this could imply Sam doesn´t like Freddie (at least not as more than a friend.).

 * Sam grabs onto Carly somewhat aggressively when she gets excited during the Shelby Marx fight.
 * Sam put up posters with Freddie to promote Carly's fight.
 * Sam teaches Carly how to trash talk for a press conference.

 * She also cheers Sam on when Sam decides to reenter the contest and acts like a proud mother would, especially during the introduction.

 * Sam tells Carly that she kissed Freddie while she's on laughing gas, which could mean it's been on her mind for a while and she feels guilty about not telling Carly.
 * Sam tries to kiss Carly in the dentist office, albeit under the influence of laughing gas.
 * Sam says "Don't tell Carly!" while on the laughing gas, implying that she knows Carly would be upset if she kissed Freddie.
 * Carly´s anger about Sam and Freddie secretly kissing borders on jealousy. Since she constantly rejects Freddie, the only logical reason for her to be jealous would be if she wanted to kiss Sam.


 * Sam looks guilty after Carly asks why she didn't tell her about kissing Freddie.

iCook:

 * When they are proclaimed winners of the cook-off, Carly pushes her head to a very  deep spot of Sam´s shoulder.ICook_Cam_hug.jpg
 * It´s even more weird because Carly is naturally taller than Sam.

iSpeed Date:

 * Carly is reluctant to hurt Sam, even though she is angry at her for starting the date-contest.
 * Sam has no real interest in going to the dance until Carly gets a definite date, and she is asked to take Gibby to the dance. Would Sam still have done this had Carly not gotten a date to the dance? Maybe Sam just wanted to go because she knew Carly would be there.
 * Sam is intent on keeping her promise to Carly and taking Gibby to the dance. Even though she clearly shows disinterest in him and the dance itself, she goes to his house personally to convince him to go with her.
 * It´s left for interpretation  why  Sam looks hurt when she sees Carly and Freddie dancing.

iQuit iCarly:

 * During their argument, neither Sam nor Carly yelled at one another. Were they fighting with, say Freddie, Sam would likely hurt him or make fun of him, and Carly would have a shrill tone of voice.
 * Carly wants Sam to appreciate her more.
 * Even when they're fighting, Carly remembers that hobos amuse Sam, and she dresses up as one for their skit (see "iHatch chicks"). This shows that Carly cares enough for Sam, even subconsciously, to think of her when making up that sketch.
 * Both seem very sad when Carly suggests they should end iCarly because they know it´s a symbol for their relationship.
 * The scene where Carly and Sam fight over Freddie is symbolic of a divorced couple fighting over their son.
 * Freddie says "I can't believe you two are really breaking up".
 * Sam is offended when Spencer believes she isn't strong enough to lift Carly up from the edge of the scaffold, then she proves him wrong and actually does it.

iSaved Your Life:

 * Sam smirks when Carly frisks her. Carly playfully slaps her butt afterwardsISaved_your_Life.jpg.
 * In the extended version, Sam wants to talk to Carly about what happened. Carly fears that Sam will hit her, causing Sam to ask, "Have I ever hit you?" to which Carly says "No", and grabs Sam into the apartment and shuts the door.
 * Dan Schneider: "In the original version of this episode that you say, this scene ended with Carly saying, "I kissed Freddie!" But now you'll see a whole new ending where Sam questions Carly about the kiss. I always liked this latter part of the scene, but it had to be cut (originally) for time.


 * Sam's line, "Have I ever hit you?" (said to Carly) may seem like just a cute little line, but it actually means a lot. To me, it highlights a very important part of the Carly-Sam relationship. We all know that when Sam gets angry, she's likely to get violent, too (i.e. TV sitcom "violent"). BUT... Sam would never get violent with Carly – because Sam has too much respect for Carly. In fact, if you think about it, Carly is really the only person that can control Sam – the only person that can make Sam back down. I think that's kind of a cool part of the show. "


 * Promos for this episode imply that Sam's reaction was important and that she'd be jealous of Carly kissing Freddie. Though the implications were there, Sam responded as if she were shocked, not hurt; she even wanted to talk with Carly. Who knows if she was trying to talk Carly out of dating Freddie? If anything, she could be jealous of Freddie.
 * Sam says "it makes me want to puke up blood" when Freddie claims that she can't stand them being together.


 * When Freddie says Sam is jealous of him and Carly and raises his eyebrows in a flirty way, she responds "Gross!"
 * Sam gives Freddie advice about Carly, which could be interpreted as her trying to communicate with Carly through Freddie.
 * Sam seems confident that Carly and Freddie will not last as a couple and points this out to Freddie.
 * Carly never clearly establishes herself and Freddie as a couple,though they seem to act like one. When he asks if they're boyfriend and girlfriend, she never says a definitive yes.
 * Carly isn't mad in the slightest that it was Sam's advice that led Freddie to believe that she might not really like him. That could be because she realized Sam was making absolute sense and was telling the truth.
 * After Carly and Freddie decide that Sam has a point, that maybe they shouldn't date, she gives him a small kiss on the cheek. Not like the kissing they were doing earlier.
 * The episode seems to establish that Carly would never in her right mind date Freddie, and at most he is a good friend. However, it leaves the door open for her relationship with Sam.

iWas a Pageant Girl:

 * Carly and Sam have this exchange when Sam strips Carly from her gown:
 * Carly: (mockingly) Thanks for being gentle!




 * Sam: (emerges fully dressed) I feel hot!


 * Carly: (annoyed) I feel violated.

iSpace Out:

 * When Carly freaks out and experiences space madness, Sam looks on in concern, speechless.

iThink They Kissed:

 * Carly and Sam exchange this cute little dialogue when Carly leaves Sam with the dentist:Sam_fun.jpg
 * Carly: Stay blonde. 


 * Sam: Stay brune.


 * Sam has a guilty face when Carly confronts her about kissing Freddie. When Freddie enters, it turns into an angry one.
 * The producers note that Sam easily could've beaten up the escaped prisoners, but she didn't want to risk Carly (or Freddie) getting hurt, so she allowed herself to be duct taped.
 * Sam is quick to reassure Carly that she doesn't like Freddie.
 * Sam gives Carly an "Are you kidding me?" - look when Carly asks if kissing Freddie was "fun".

iSpeed Date:

 * After Carly is turned down by Nate, she mentions that there are no other boys she likes to ask to the dance. After this, she asks if Sam is going to the dance.
 * Sam says "There are no guys at this school that don´t make me sick." Apparently, her past relationships with boys frustrated her a lot.
 * Carly gently grabs Sam's wrist to stop her from going to throw Fat Cakes at joggers.
 * When Spencer does windmills and knocks out Freddie, Sam joins in. Carly watches and decides to do the same thing, not caring that Freddie is knocked out.

iFind Lewbert´s Lost Love:

 * Sam accepts that Carly doesn´t help her get her phone from Lewbert´s office, but simply hefts Freddie over her shoulder and carries him away to help her.
 * Carly screams for Sam only when Marta is chasing her.

iQuit iCarly:

 * Sam and Carly slam their lockers at the same time.
 * Carly doesn't mention that she and Sam are no longer doing iCarly to Spencer.
 * Carly screams "Sam!" when she is hanging from the platform.

iSaved Your Life:

 * Sam's bacon metaphor can be seen as advice to both of her friends not to rush things, or her trying to keep Carly to herself.
 * When Freddie asks if Sam is jealous, it's left open to interpretation who he means, him or Carly. The same applies when he says that she can't stand the sight of him and Carly being together.
 * It's implied in the extended version that Sam shared her Bolivian bacon with Carly. They both agree that "it changes you..." and they say it in a similar manner.
 * iSaved Your Life is listed before iQuit iCarly in production order and Carly "falls in love" with Freddie after he saves her life. In iQuit iCarly, Sam saves her life as well, so this could lead to Carly/ Sam, as the episode iWas a Pageant Girl, with a Cam main plot came right after them.

iWas A Pageant Girl:

 * Sam kind of makes fun of Carly´s breasts when she gives her fake boobs to stuff in her bra.
 * Sam "trains" Carly for the beauty pageant.

iSpace Out:

 * Both Carly and Sam believe the billionaire when he lies about monkeys being in their space pods, and getting autographs from Johnny Depp.
 * Carly yells at Freddie to "shut up!" but says nothing to Sam when she begins to feel claustrophobic.
