Cam Relationship

Cam is the term for the canon friendship and probable relationship of Carly Shay and Sam Puckett, the less common used term being Sarly. 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.

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.

 * 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.
 * Usually Sam and Carly will be mentioned together when someone is talking about the show, with the running gag being that Freddie is never included.
 * The tomboyish Sam enjoys going to places like Glitter Gloss and Build A Bra with Carly, while Carly will always go with Sam to the Groovy Smoothie or let her eat at her house.

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. Maybe Sam just wanted to go because she knew Carly would be there.

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. 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.

iEnrage Gibby:

 * Sam doesn't look happy when Tasha asks to stay for the webcast and seems to give her disconcerting looks as she passes by Carly.

iSpace Out:

 * When Carly freaks out and experiences "Space Madness", Sam looks on in concern, speechless.

iFix a Popstar:

 * The scene where Sam tells Carly it's her turn to change the baby sounds reminiscent of regular exchanges between a married couple.

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.

iCarly Awards:

 * Carly and Sam are wearing red and blue respectively, which could be a call back to an episode iMust Have Locker 239, where an art teacher and Spencer "make purple" by combining red and blue paint that they get all over each other's faces when they kiss in the episode.
 * Carly jokes that a turtle looks better than most of Sam's past boyfriends.
 * Sam gives a hurt look after Carly makes this joke.

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.

iMove Out:

 * When the petographers vandalize the iCarly studio, Carly agrees with Sam that they should retaliate and she attempts to graffiti the studio.

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.

iEnrage Gibby:

 * Carly takes a page out of Sam's book and they sell one of Spencer's sculptures for $4,000:
 * Carly: Let's get some real money out of this guy.


 * Sam: (pats Carly´s head) Yeah that's my girl!


 * Carly has been known to be a bad liar, (iPromise Not To Tell) but she seems to have no problem when her and Sam lie to trick an art critic who gave Spencer a bad review.
 * At Carly's request, Sam goes to Gibby's house to convince him not to fight Freddie.

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.

iFix a Popstar:

 * Carly plays with Sam's shoelaces nonchalantly.
 * Sam and Carly both mock the idea that Ginger Fox was considered hot back in the days.

Episodes with a Cam Main Plot/Subplot:
A few episodes on iCarly show development in the Cam pairing, whether it's restating their friendship, or hinting at the prospect that Carly and Sam may have a deeper relationship than what meets the eye.

Season One:
The entire episode revolves around the friendship of Carly and Sam. On a side note, this is also the first episode that shows Freddie is able and ready to save the friendship between them if it´s necessary.
 * iDon´t Want To Fight

The way Carly and Sam met is quite unusual to begin with as their friendship is not a regular playground - friendship: Sam wanted to steal Carly´s sandwich and was impressed when Carly fought back. While stealing food is completely in - character for Sam, being impressed by someone fighting back is not what one would expect from her nowadays. This could imply she always thought of Carly as someone special.

Their friendship is very important to Carly, as she makes a special present for Sam for their five year anniversary. Sam also puts much thought into what she could give Carly in return, deciding on tickets for Carly´s absolute favourite band although the concert is sold out for months, meaning they would be extremely hard to get. This shows how much Carly means to her. Her face when Rip-off Rodney offers to trade the shirt Carly gave her for the tickets shows she isn´t very comfortable with the thought at first. She then trades it anyway because she thinks Carly will appreciate it if they can do something together. Unfortunately, Carly doesn´t see it Sam´s way and both girls feel unappreciated by the other, leading to a serious fight between them.

Freddie almost convinces them to make up, but when Carly finds out Sam went to the concert with someone else, she gets even more angry with her. One might even think Carly feels betrayed. Sam, on the other hand, seems to feel at least a bit bad about it, but stays stubborn and doesn´t apologize, straining their friendship even more.

In the end, it takes Freddie´s help to reunite the girls. After he and the iCarly fans say best friends shouldn´t fight, Sam even starts crying. Although she says it´s because Freddie is such a dork, it´s very clear she only says that because she doesn´t like to show emotions around him. The true reason why she´s crying is probably that she realizes she almost ruined her friendship with Carly, maybe the most important thing in her life, for no good reason. Carly feels sorry right after Sam starts crying. She may be used to Sam being angry and screaming, but she knows Sam must be really hurt if it makes her cry and can´t stand seeing her best friend like that. They immediately apologize to each other and make up again.

Season Two:
This episode focuses on the friendship between Carly and Sam.
 * iSaw Him First:

In this episode, Carly and Sam's friendship becomes strained when they are attracted to the same boy, Shane ( a friend of Freddie's from the AV Club ). Early on in the episode, playful banter is exchanged between the duo when Sam makes iced tea for Carly, which is a rare moment seeing Sam do anything for anyone besides herself.Carly notes that Sam neglected her full request for iced tea with lemons and ice, so Sam adds in a full lemon in jest. Carly wonders why she continues to invite Sam over her house, though Sam is lazy and unhelpful. Although Sam has her flaws, Carly puts up with them because overall, she cares about Sam.

Shane is asked by Freddie to help with a web bit, "Fun With Magnetism" and initially believed to be a nerd by the two girls, as they believe only nerds join the AV Club. However, when they first see him, both are instantly attracted to him. They continue on to do to do the sketch ( which requires that they stick their tongues to two ends of a rod while stepping in vinegar and goat's milk to light it up ) with a little Shane banter here and there. The next day, Carly confides to Sam her feelings about Shane and wanting to ask him out, to a seemingly dejected Sam, who reveals that her intentions were the same. Carly decides the right thing to do to follow the "Girl Code" and let the person who saw him first ask him out. Both exclaim that they are going to ask him out, each believing they saw Shane first. After Freddie plays videotape, slow motion, and frame by frame replays, it is unanimous that it was a dead-tie, Carly and Sam saw Shane simultaneously.

Instead of conventionally asking Shane out, letting Sam date him, or deciding not to date him, Carly makes a questionable move to include Sam when she suggests that they should both date Shane and share him. Another odd event is that Sam of all people, considers the negative side to dating with her best friend, but eventually agrees to enter the relationship. The girls attempt to be civil, at first even sounding mature about it. Sam tries, but is unable to lie when she has a date with Shane, another weird occurrence as she is shown to be an expert liar on the show ( iRocked The Vote ). Carly remarks upon it, trying not to sound jealous, and goes so far as to agree with Shane when she hears that he complimented on Sam's nose. The conversation shifts from a complimentary to a contest of one-upmanship, where each girl tries to make the other jealous, to the point where random insults are being flung ( the final blow being when Sam insists that Carly needs "help" because she got a training bra after Carly says that she has a date with Shane ).

Later they are both apologetic, as Sam even makes "make-up cookies" for Carly. Seeing as any kind of menial labor is considered effort, which Sam avoids as much as possible, this shows the high esteem that Sam holds for Carly. Both find it difficult to share Shane while maintaining their friendship and make a deal: The first person to get Shane to kiss them can date him. Although executed through crafty means, Carly and Sam follow the rules, but are each unsuccessful in their bids for Shane, as he grows angry with their constant fighting and inadvertently falls down an elevator shaft leaving the girls horrified and clutching each other for support. While they visit Shane at the hospital, they vow never to fight over a boy again and leave to eat. Carly returns to kiss Shane, but it appears to be only in a show that she has won the bet. ( It is interesting to note that she does this when Sam has left, not in front of her. )

This episode is considered to be mainly Seddie developmental ( friendship and relationship ) as well as Creddie, but there is definite Cam friendship moments and moments that suggest that Carly and Sam may have affections for each other.
 * iKiss:

The show begins with Freddie running into Carly's apartment asking if Sam is around because he played a prank on her after she put a dead fish in his bookbag. Carly asks him ( likely in a joking manner ) if he's gotten tired of living. Although Carly doesn't take sides, she seems to be annoyed that Freddie played a prank on Sam. This episode goes under a lot of speculation with the small details that lead to the big ending of the episode.

Carly and Sam go to see "The First Kiss", an example of the Cam friendship, because Sam hates cheesy teenage movies, but goes because Carly wanted to see it. Freddie doesn't see it, as he assumes it will be awful, but he visits to hang out and rag on the movie. The title of the movie leads Carly to reflect on her own first kiss, and ask Sam about hers. Sam initially is dishonest and states that she had a first kiss. She leaves and Freddie reveals that he's never had his first kiss ( a possibility being that he wanted Carly to be his first kiss ). They walk around awkwardly, and Carly thinks it's sweet that Freddie hasn't had his first kiss, but she makes no suggestion at kissing him, which solidifies the notion that she doesn't like him more than as a friend. He asks her not to tell anyone especially Sam. The next web bit is a trailer of a fake movie "Kelly Cooper: Terrible Movie", which parodies the stereotypical movie about a teenager going through adolescence, wanting to be accepted, coming of age and trying to find themselves. An interesting note is that the "hottie/dreamboy" for Carly in the trailer is Gibby, not Freddie. The sketch can be seen as a real metaphor for what's happening in the actual show with Sam, ( as this episode focuses on her ) seeing as she kisses a boy for the first time. Possibly after her first kiss, she realizes that she doesn't like guys, or that she has feelings for Carly.

Sam reveals that Freddie has never kissed a girl on the web show, straining their friendship, annoying Carly, and ruining Freddie's social life. At first Sam is unfazed by this, even making fun of him, until Carly admonishes her. Carly was unable to look at Sam a few times while she scolded her, and Sam felt guilty. This leads Sam to tell off the viewers who made fun of Freddie, and reveal that she herself has never had her first kiss. Carly, proud of Sam's action, stops the web show to tell Sam that she's impressed. When Sam explains that she wasn't lying about never having a first kiss, Carly says, "Wait... you've seriously never kissed anyone?" It's pretty ambiguous, and she easily could've said "Wait... you've seriously never kissed a guy?", but she didn't, which leaves room to question whether Carly believes that Sam may like girls. Sam leaves to go and apologize to Freddie.

[ If Sam is telling the truth when she says she's never kissed anyone, that would mean she never kissed Jonah, the boy she was "in love with" in iHate Sam's Boyfriend. This is an indicator at least that Sam my have dodged kissing Jonah because she didn't like him, at most that she doesn't feel attracted to guys. Jonah then shifted his attention to Carly, her best friend. ]

When Sam arrives at Freddie's place, she looks guilty the entire time. They talk about first kisses and how people make a big thing over them, then Sam makes the suggestion to kiss Freddie. Both make a promise not to tell anyone about it, then they kiss. Their kiss lasted about 8 or 9 seconds, but during most of it, Sam looks far off and less engaged in the kiss than Freddie, although she attempts to close her eyes, when the kiss ends.The ending was considered open ended to say the least, because although Sam tries to play it off as nothing, she says the kiss was nice in an unconvincing manner, and she didn't appear to enjoy kissing Freddie, it resembled more waiting for a spark that wouldn't come. For this reason, it could be assumed that Sam doesn't have feelings for Freddie, but actually likes her best friend Carly.

Rumors on the episode itself: Some consider this episode to be a result of executive meddling ( same as iGo Nuclear ) because it continually mocked teen love and it's depiction in literature ( movies in this case ). iGo Nuclear seemed to have a broken moral to it, as Carly and Freddie made great efforts to make a good environmental project and got lower grades, while Sam did nothing and got an A. The message here would be, "don't try and help the earth, because the effort is futile". iKiss seems to follow this broken aesop, at first bashing every teen movie cliché, then falling into the biggest one, the first kiss.



Season Three:
This is mainly an SFC (Sam-Freddie-Carly)-friendship-episode, but there are strong hints that Carly and Sam could feel attracted to each other.
 * iThink They Kissed:

Their friendship is important from the start of the episode when Carly takes Sam to the dentist. Like in several other episodes, Carly takes care of Sam in place of her mother. They also have their own encouragement phrase ("Stay blonde!" - "Stay brune!"). While Sam´s on laughing gas, Carly also plays along with her and doesn´t complain about the ungentle way she touches her. Another sign of how close their friendship is is when Carly accuses Sam of having secrets. Sam immediately feels guilty and returns the $20 she stole from Carly. With other people, Sam never feels guilty about stealing from them, as shown in "iHatch Chicks" with Duke´s wallet or in "iReunite with Missy" with Missy´s phone.

Hints at stronger feelings between Carly and Sam start as soon as Sam is on laughing gas. Influenced by the drug, Sam tells Carly she kissed Freddie. Since some drugs make people more likely to say what they feel, this could mean Sam wanted to tell someone for a long time. It can also be noted that Sam tries to kiss Carly afterwards. Although she doesn´t realize she is talking to Carly, she realizes she is talking to a girl and still tries to kiss her. She knows Carly would be upset about her kissing Freddie, since she says "Don´t tell Carly!" afterwards, not "Don´t tell anyone!" like they promised in "iKiss". When she later thinks Freddie revealed their secret, she gets angry at him as soon as she sees him, while she looked guilty when she was talking to Carly. This could mean she is angry at him for upsetting Carly. Carly´s reaction to Sam´s confession is far more than simple surprise; her face shows shock and she needs quite a long time to process this information before she asks "What!?" in disbelief. The shocked look stays on her face for a long time. Not even Spencer´s attempts to calm her down are successful, she still thinks about it the next day and wants to hear the truth from Freddie. When she finally confronts Sam about it, she asks her in a completely different voice than she asked Freddie; she seemed disappointed about him not telling her, but towards Sam, she seems extremely hurt. The last scene makes this one of the episodes with the strongest Cam-subtext up to now. If Carly was angry about Sam and Freddie not telling her about their kiss just because they are friends, she would have been satisfied with them promising her not to have secrets from her any more; instead, she wants to know the details about the kiss. The most logical reason for this would be if she wants to know if the kiss actually meant something to Sam and Freddie and if they have feelings for each other. The tone of her voice, the nervous breaks she takes in the middle of her sentences and her facial expression whenever she talks about the kiss throughout the episode show she is extremely uncomfortable talking about it and probably afraid of the answer, implying she would be jealous if Sam and Freddie fell in love with each other. As long as she is in her right mind, she rejects Freddie, the exception being "iSaved Your Life" when she is touched by him risking his life to save her. Because of this, the only logical reason for her to be jealous would be if she considered Sam a love interest and Freddie a competition.


 * iQuit iCarly

This episode reflects on tensions in the Carly and Sam friendship, and at the latter, shows the depth of their friendship. Also, some subtext exists that leaves room to speculate a deeper bond between the two.

Carly and Sam's friendship becomes tense when two comedians they work with have an argument and decide to no longer work together. The girls agree to help two friends, Fleck and Dave, make a video to win a contest and $5,000. When Fleck and Dave, prepare to do a sketch with Carly and Sam, we get a glimpse that the boys have personalities that parallel Sam and Carly's. They decide to make a video about purple people from the planet of Purplonia, and Carly asks Sam to bring in the car for the sketch. To Dave's horror, Fleck had spray painted his father's car purple. Dave reveals his resonsible nature in reaction to this, and freaks out ( a trait that he and Carly share ) while Fleck shows his free spirited side, and maintains that it isn't a big deal ( a nod to Sam ). This leads to a big argument, which Carly and Sam try to defuse, but to no avail. Sam makes an ultimatum for them to be friends or not, and they choose the latter.

Distraught about the fight, Carly goes to talk to Dave, while Fleck talks with Sam. At first the boys complain about one another, and Carly and Sam play the voice of reason until they find that they can relate to one another. Instead of helping resolve conflict, Sam and Carly end up talking about each other to Fleck and Dave. Dave and Carly dislike the irresponsibility and recklessness of their partners and want more appreciation for their hard work, while Fleck and Sam believe that they contribute to the show the most when they are wild and entertaining, which preceeds being responsible. Both Carly and Sam look hurt while giving their speeches and when they report back to each other, they agree that their conversations did more harm than good.

Carly and Sam have a fallout when they find that Fleck and Dave's problems have transcended down to them. When they realize that they disagree with which boy is right, they begin to argue in an unusual manner, where there's no yelling, but an exchange of stinging truths. Carly wishes for Sam to show her more appreciation, which could be her asking for Sam's attention. Sam disagrees and Carly brings up her constant lateness for the web show. They agree to end their friendship, but both look hurt as Sam leaves quietly ( she even looks back to Carly when she leaves ). Carly talks to Freddie in the Groovy Smoothie about Sam, and Freddie tries to act as a mediator. When Sam enters with Fleck, Carly seems to look extremely annoyed, which may be a sign that she is jealous of him having Sam's attention, as when she later encounters Sam alone, she doesn't do this. Freddie suggests they try and make up, but they end up arguing more and Carly bans Sam from her house. Due to this, iCarly is forced to be webcast from dual locations ( the iCarly studio and Sam's room ).

Sam and Carly enlist the aid of Fleck and Dave for techinical help, which shows the effort to maintain the staus quo on their webshow.Carly dresses up as a hobo for their sketch, ( which seems to be a reference to iHatch Chicks where Sam reveals her amusement with hobos ) showing that she wants to make up with Sam to do include something she likes on the show. She's even got gloves with peace signs on them. While Sam is talking, and introduces Fleck, Carly is rolling her eyes all the while and seems to be jealous of him, or unimpressed by him. They are unable to continue the webshow due to connection problems, and iCarly seems to be falling apart in front of all the viewers. Carly reluctantly suggests cancelling the show, to which Sam agrees to in a bitter tone, but both girls were visibly saddened by this decision, because they knew it symbolized their collapsing relationship. Again, Freddie tries to speak sense into the girls, but it goes unheard, as they storm off the sets, Carly looking sad, while Sam is visibly upset. Carly and Sam meet at their lockers, and act civil towards one another until Freddie appears to talk with Carly about helping Dave make his video. They argue over Freddie similarly to the way a divorced couple fights over a son ( Dan Schneider even makes this comment ). Freddie himself says, "I believe you two are really breaking up" signifying that they must have a really strong relationship, because that line is reserved for couples who date. It could imply that Sam and Carly may have a romantic friendship, or act like more than friends.

For some reason, Carly doesn't tell Spencer that iCarly was cancelled, nor mentions not being friends with Sam after he asks about her. This is probably because she expected to make up with Sam sometime in the near future, or Spencer would think something's really wrong. Since Carly and Sam both share the same idea for the video they want to do, they have a conflict of interests when they need to reserve the same spot on a platform. Sam decides to jump on the platform of the scaffold without a harness, and Carly follows her worried that she'll hurt herself. Freddie could've jumped onto the platform, so it's interesting to see he doesn't try to save either girl. Clearly, Carly was scared to even be on the apparatus, but she wanted to get Sam off the platform. Sam would have none of this, and refused to leave until Carly did. They both are put in a near death situation when Sam accidentally hits a button that lowers the scaffold, then something unexpectantly breaks, causing Carly to slip off the platform, holding onto a pole for dear life. Sam screams when Carly falls, and fighting her fear, she goes down to try and save Carly. When Freddie tries to give her a warning, she snaps at him, seeming dead-set on getting to her best friend. She reassures Carly that she's going to rescue her and not to worry, which slightly calms Carly. Though they've fought for most of this episode, Sam breaks from her tough girl routine, showing Carly that soft side that noone else gets to see from her and gives Carly her hand to take. When Carly says she's scared, she lets Carly know she feels the same, but she's not ready to let her friend fall to her death.

Spencer arrives when he sees Carly hanging off the scaffold. When he firsts sees her, in the shot we can hear Carly scream "Sam!". Not "Help!", "Spencer!" or "Freddie!", she calls out to Sam to save her. Carly gives Sam her hand to lift her up and Sam shows some difficulty in getting Carly to safety at first. When Spencer makes his way to the window ledge both girls jumped out of to reach the platform, he says that Sam isn't strong enough to lift Carly. Sam gets offended by this, and screams "Really!!!" at him, ( Sam is hardly ever rude to Spencer ) then proceeds to prove him wrong and lifts Carly back onto the platform safely. After Spencer throws a rope that knocks Sam off of the scaffold, Carly returns the favor and saves Sam from falling. They tie a rope around each other and are pulled inside the apartment building by Freddie, Spencer, Fleck and Dave. Carly and Sam try to play off the events as little, Sam even going so far as to say they didn't cry, then they actually do cry. Spencer puts the two together to hug, which suggests that he sensrd trouble or something wrong within the girls' relationship, even though Carly never told him what happened between her and Sam. They cry and hug in each other's arms and all is well. On the next webcast, they help Fleck and Dave make their video, a trailor parodying a horror movie, "The Blowing".
