Season synopsis
In the season opener, Sam, intoxicated and giggly from nitrous oxide, spills the beans to Carly about her and Freddie's first kiss, which she cannot remember soon afterwards. When Carly tells Freddie what Sam said, he changes the subject and so Carly attempts to pin him down just to get him to confess. Freddie then says it is true, so Carly then asks Sam and Freddie to come to her apartment without telling each other and when they arrive, she confronts them about keeping the kiss a secret from her. In the end, Sam and Freddie decide it is time to stop keeping secrets and tell Carly that they will tell each other everything.

Two weeks later, the three find themselves in a Girl's-Choice-Dance situation, so they have to find dates to the dance. When all three dates end badly; Sam finding out that her "potential" date, Gibby, has a girlfriend, Freddie being somewhat annoyed at his date's magic tricks and Carly constantly being interrupted by her date, Carly and Freddie engage in a romantic slow-dance at the Groovy Smoothie. It is at this moment that Sam walks in and sees them. Upon seeing them, she silently walks away.

Three months later, Freddie pushes Carly out of the way of an oncoming taco truck on the road, saving her life and getting himself injured in the process. Carly is so grateful that she visits his room often to take care of him and at one point kisses him. In just hours of Carly and Freddie beginning their relationship, Sam tells Freddie, based on her experience with a boyfriend who sent her bacon, that Freddie is Carly's bacon, that she only loves him for what he did. Freddie does not believe her at first, but later that night, at Carly's apartment, he realizes that this may be true and tells her this. The two end their short relationship, but decide that once the whole "hero" thing wears off and Carly is attracted to Freddie because of who he is, they will try the relationship again.
