@iEmbargo: '' As I think about it, the extraordinarily jarring reversion of Freddie' attitude towards Sam is my primary reason that I so firmly believe that DS planned Creddie all along. Freddie's treatment of Sam after the Seddie Arc is unmotivated and arbitrary while Sam treats him way better than he deserved. ''

I disagree. Freddie's behavior was not unmotivated. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't provoked but the hint at the end of iPear Store as to why he was behaving that way came from Sam, herself--who seemed to be unphased by it. While Freddie was yelling, Sam said, "we sort of dated for a while." "He's still in love with me -- it's kind of sad." And if one notices Natasha's expression, she says "Ohhh" as if to confirm an understanding. Sam says this and merely watches him rant without much reciprocation. I also don't think it was a coincidence that in Freddie's rant, he made a reference to Sam's terrible "table manners." Not only that, Sam stood up for him after he was fired. She obviously didn't place much significance in what he was saying as opposed to why he was saying it.

I think it was Dan's way of switching the tables. Sam's aggression towards Freddie had substantially diminished since they dated (coincidence?) so it would've been bad form, in my opinion, to have Sam reassume her old role. To have Freddie assume a more aggressive role offers a bit of dynamic and provokes debate over Freddie's mindset--and I believe that was the intention. Why was he so mean to Sam? Perhaps he's projecting some unresolved sentiments on to Sam to the point where he sabatoged himself.
