User blog comment:WildJackal/Sam beating Freddie a sign that she loves him?/@comment-1874176-20110717175933/@comment-1874176-20110717193214

Sam's face after the comment looks like she was embaressed about losing control and blurting it out in a moment of anger, so I think this crush is real; it might be a quite meaningless schoolgirl-crush that's meant for comedy, but it still shows that Sam doesn't resort to violence when dealing with people she likes.
