While it was a brainstorming session, not a lot of ideas were really coming out, as those involved were distracted by other things. Except for Gibby o...f course, who really had no ideas anyway? In the couple weeks leading up to the trip, Carly and Freddie never had sex again, but they did act much closer as far as friends go. Sam couldn't help but feel a little jealous, even if they weren't dating anymore. She had a suspicion that they had been together, but she couldn't really prove it. The.
