Canon
It is unknown when or how Sam and Freddie met. It was probably through their mutual friend Carly.

Season 1
"Yeah, she's always putting me down and calling me mean names, and every time I get an ice cream cone, she takes it and she licks it. She just licks it all over the place, just to bug me!"

- Freddie describes his relationship with Sam

Initially, the relationship between Sam and Freddie is not particularly deep. They generally insult each other with Sam teasing the boy, and that she even gets to be physically abusive to him.

Carly and Sam have to film auditions for the school talent show and when her brother can't give him his, Carly borrows a camera from Freddie. The guy then brings her a lot of audiovisual equipment (she is a huge tech enthusiast) trying to impress her because of his huge crush on her.

Freddie and Sam, quickly get into a fight after she teases him, and if he doesn't leave it's just because of Carly. In a moment of pause, Freddie records Carly (and Sam, but only because he was close to her). By mistake, the brunette also uploads the video of the two of them online, making fun of a teacher and getting many views.

At the request of Carly and Sam, Freddie cancels the video, but the success is such that Carly decides to start a webshow and Freddie proposes the name "iCarly" for the webshow, and proposes to take care of the technical part. Sam instead becomes co-host. At the end of the first episode, the three (plus one of the guests of the day) embrace as a group.

After a while, a girl considers Freddie cute and Sam offensively comments that it's impossible. This girl, Valerie, accepts Carly's offer to go out with him, and Freddie too. Carly stops Freddie's mother from ruining the date and stops Sam from increasing Freddie's nervousness and spying on him. But when the blonde spies on the brunette using her webcam without him noticing, Carly agrees to spy on her friend even though she says she's wrong.

Freddie and Valeria start, but Valerie decides to do a web show herself and convinces Freddie to leave iCarly to work with her. The brunette is upset and summoned Sam tries to make him change his mind. Sam arrives to break into Freddie's house and take him to Carly's in weight.

Sam tells her friend to leave Valerie, but Carly admits it's only fair that Freddie wants to help his girlfriend and not the two of them. Although he is clearly sorry and embarrassed, Freddie appreciates Carly's behavior and finds her and Sam another technician. Without him, however, the show goes very badly. At that point Valerie also suggests that Sam come and work with her. Carly gets angry knowing that Valery is just taking advantage of Freddie and tries to warn him about her, but the boy doesn't believe either her or Sam.

When Valerie tells Freddie to try to convince Sam to join them, the boy realizes that his friends have been telling the truth and leaves the girl. However, he refuses to go back to iCarly, because he declares that Valerie was right in saying that he is not considered important for the show. Distraught Carly says she has always recognized the importance of her contribution, and Freddie admits it, but she also asks Sam for an acknowledgment and the brunette forces the blonde to give it to him. After hugging young Benson, and telling him that he matters as much as she and Carly do to the show, the blonde smut him.

Nevel an enemy of the team, sabotages the site by infiltrating Freddie's computer and since they should suspend the show, until he can solve the situation and a famous band, should play iCarly, the young Benson decides to make pan for focaccia in Nevel, sabotaging his site. This leads to a rare appreciation of Freddie by Sam. When Freddie is attacked by Nevel's grandmother after the trio infiltrates his home, Carly and Sam rescue him. Later Sam accidentally learns the principal's password and username and uses them to raise Carly and Freddie's votes (he does it to the latter, just to pay off a loan). However, she acts without his knowledge and Freddie is strongly against it and he and Carly work together to remedy. Unfortunately they are discovered and almost arrested, managing to get away only thanks to a lie, made at the last moment. After they both feel guilty and get angry at the blonde. Worn out with remorse, Carly decides to confess everything to the principal, and to her surprise she discovers that Freddie has already taken the blame, but then Sam decides to confess. At one point Carly comes to tell Sam that he should be kinder to Freddie, prompting her to bet to pay him five dollars for every insult. Sam accepts the bet, immediately finding herself in trouble. Freddie for his part, happy to be the one to torment her for once, immediately begins to provoke her. By not insulting Freddie for days, Sam has a real withdrawal crisis he has no money to give him to let off steam with an insult. The girl arrives to beg the young Benson to grant her a free insult, but the boy refuses. When Spencer gives her forty dollars, Sam spends it all on insults, much to Freddie's delight.

When Sam gets a crush on Freddie's acquaintance, Jonah, Carly asks the brunette to get the boy to ask Sam out. Freddie initially refuses, but Carly manages to convince him, almost immediately. Just speaking well of Sam, it seems to make Freddie almost vomit and is baffled when Jonah agrees to go out with her. The disgust persists for days.

Soon after Jonah tries to kiss Carly and she hides him from Sam, confiding in Freddie. Freddie asks if she intends to talk to Sam about it and when she says she won't because the blonde would be upset, he gets her point of view, looking sorry for Sam. But Sam discovers everything and gives Jonah a good lesson, much to Freddie's amusement. When a boy starts abusing Freddie, Sam initially lets Carly do it, but then steps in when the situation gets worse.

One day Freddie points out to Sam that usually a girl mistreats a guy a lot, because she has a crush on him. Sam, however, declares that he does not even consider him a boy. When Sam and Carly have a bad fight shortly thereafter, Freddie tries to make up for them, but is clearly more lenient towards Carly. Freddie makes Carly and Sam unfold and pulls their hair if one interrupts the other. However he only throws them at Carly once and over at Sam.

When Carly gets the chance to move to a private school, Sam decides to sabotage her interview for fear of ruining their friendship and easily persuades Freddie to help her. However, the boy initially gets angry, as in order to get him out of the classroom, he told the lie that his mother had a car accident.

A famous producer decides to bring iCarly on TV, but Sam is fired shortly after, amid the thunderous protests of Freddie. This implies that despite often arguing, Freddie recognizes Sam's importance to the program.

Season 2
Both Sam and Carly have a crush on Freddie's friend Shane, and Freddie seems pissed off by it. He later tries to get Carly to give up and Sam to become Shane's girlfriend, so that he has more chances with the brunette and Sam seems upset by that. Freddie then helped Sam try to win the challenge she and Carly had organized (the first to receive a kiss from Shane, she would be the only one who could go out with him). Eventually Shane, annoyed by the immaturity of the two friends, refuses both.

Freddie gets fed up with Sam continuing to scrounge money from him and Carly and hearing him, she decides to pay them back everything she has borrowed. When she finds out that it is more than $ 500, she is shocked and Freddie points out that she has been borrowing money for two years and angrily she closes her fingers in his PC. Sam jokingly asks iCarly viewers to give her the money to pay back Carly and Freddie, but the audience takes her seriously and sends her the money. As this is against the law, the friends are forced to send their money back and Sam is forced to find a job. Stress leads Sam to cry and she lets Freddie out with an excuse, not to be seen while she whimpers. In order to keep the money, you have to give something in return, so Carly and Freddie start selling candy, to cover Sam's debt, but Freddie rightly notes that the blonde would not accept a handout. This is a sign of how well the brunette knows her well. Eventually the blonde gets them with a ploy devised by Carly, but she buys us a trampoline instead of making them. Since she also allows them to use it, Freddie and Carly don't complain.

Because of a joke broadcast about iCarly, the caretaker of the building, Lewbert gets hurt. To Freddie's horror, his mother who looks after him, she seems to begin to fall in love with the hideous caretaker. For once he even manages to silence Sam, and he is so desperate that he gets hurt on purpose as suggested by Sam, just to keep his mother away from that man.

"That was Freddie, who, last week, handcuffed me to a nerd. So now, guess what? ...Freddie's never kissed a girl. Never. Not once. I heard him say so myself, and Carly's a witness. Okay, later."

- Sam humiliates Freddie on the internet

Freddie takes revenge on Sam's joke, handcuffing her to Gibby and when he finds out that Freddie has never kissed anyone, the blonde says it on iCarly. Everyone starts making fun of Freddie and the boy is devastated. Carly scolds Sam very harshly and so she decides to admit to iCarly that she has never kissed anyone either.

"But um…before we start our meatball war, I wanna say something. On the last iCarly ... I told you guys that Freddie never kissed anyone ... and that was really personal, and I shouldn't have said it on the show. And for all you people out there who've been teasing Freddie about it, lay off! 'Cause I bet a whole lot of you haven't kissed anyone either ... including me. Yeah, that's right, I've never kissed anyone. So if you want to tease someone about it, tease me. Which is a bad idea unless you live near a hospital!"

- Sam humbles himself to ask Freddie's forgiveness

Sam: What?

Freddie: Nothing, it's ...

Sam: Tell me!

Freddie: No, it's dumb ...

Sam: Say it!

Freddie: ''Okay. I was just gonna say--''

Sam: That we should kiss?

Freddie: You're going to break my arm now, right?

Sam: No.

Freddie: ''Well, should we? Just so both of us can get it over with?''

Sam: Hm … [sighs] Just to get it over with.

Freddie: Just to get it over with.

Sam: And you swear we go right back to hating each other as soon as it's over?

Freddie: ''Oh, totally. And we'll never tell anyone.''

Sam: ''Never. Well, lean.''

Freddie: Well that was um…

Sam: Nice.

Freddie: Yeah, nice.

Sam: Good work.

Freddie: ''Thank you. You too.''

Freddie: Hey, I hate you.

Sam: Hate you too.

- Sam and Freddie decide to have their first kiss.

Soon after, Sam goes to personally apologize to Freddie, and Freddie gets the idea that the two of them kiss to get rid of the thought of having given the first kiss. Made clear that their relationships won't change, the two kiss and it seems like they like it.

When Freddie criticizes a web star, saying he doesn't find his videos funny, begins to get bullied and gets kicked out of every club he frequents, Sam seems sorry for him.

Missy, an old friend of Carly's, returns to live in Seattle and jealous of Sam tries to cut her out of her friend's life, going so far as to give her some rancid chocolate. Freddie appears displeased with Sam's condition and even though the blonde has guessed what's going on and she confides in him, young Benson initially doesn't believe her. When Sam goes to ask Freddie for help and he doesn't believe her, the blonde looks disappointed and walks away disconsolately. Freddie calls her back, asking her a reason to believe her and she notices that the fact that she has humbled herself to the point of going to ask for his help should be enough. Eventually Freddie wins a six-month cruise, but passes the prize to Missy, so she can leave and stop harassing Sam.

Sam's twin sister Melanie comes to town, but Freddie who has suffered some pranks from Sam and Carly, doesn't believe it and thinks they are making fun of him again. He even comes to believe that Spencer is involved.

Eventually Freddie arrives to invite Melanie to come out in order to unmask her and when the girl kisses him, he is shocked to the point of running away (always believing that it was Sam who kissed him).

The next day, finding himself in front of Sam, realizing that now he doesn't want to change his mind, Sam decides to agree with Freddie, letting him believe that she was the one who kissed him and that there is no Melanie, only to let him think he was right. He later seems to find it disgusting that Melanie kissed Freddie, even though she did too.

Season 3
Sam: You know that kid, Freddie?

Carly: Yes, I know Freddie.

Sam: We kissed.

Carly: What?

Sam: ''Me and Freddie kissed! You know ...''

Carly: YOU AND FREDDIE REALLY KISSED!? - Sam inadvertently confesses that she kissed Freddie.

Sam has to go to the dentist and to calm her down he makes her inhale exhilarating gas. Completely numbs the blonde she confesses to Carly that she kissed Freddie and her friend freaks out, probably out of jealousy.

Eventually Freddie confesses to Carly what happened after she asks him insistently and when she says she wants to talk to Sam about it, Freddie begs her not to, because he knows the blonde would beat him. Freddie turns out to be a good prophet: as soon as Carly confronts the subject with Sam, the blonde sees him enter the house Shay jumps on him, and seems very angry and hurt believing that he has broken his oath, but as soon as Carly admits how she found out, calms down. Although they go to great lengths to make her understand that they are not in a relationship and that kissing was just an experiment, Carly continues to pester them with questions. Both Freddie and Sam seem pissed off, perhaps because they enjoyed the kiss and don't want to explain their relationship to Carly. Rare case, while they are in trouble they both blame the brunette and Sam, unlike the latter, does not blame Freddie for anything. Neither Sam nor Freddie respond when Carly wants to know if they enjoyed kissing.

A Sadie Hawkins dance arrives, but Sam doesn't invite anyone, saying she doesn't like any of the school kids. Sam says she thinks it should be a guy to invite her while she stares at Freddie. Sam later states on iCarly that her friend needs a date, probably to prevent her from taking Freddie with her. When Sam is later rejected by Gibby, Freddie laughs at her and she almost beats him. Later, the brunette forces her to help him and Spencer deal with the guys who have decided to try dating Carly. In the end, Carly and Freddie's dates don't go well and the two start dancing with each other. When she joins them and sees them dancing together, with a dreamy and happy expression, Sam is clearly very sad. The two do not see her and the blonde leaves without saying a word, continuing to stare at them with a sad look, presumably jealous and unhappy.

Over time, Sam and Freddie seem to begin to become kinder and more cooperative with each other. Even as they continue to argue and Sam bullies Freddie, the animosity between them has clearly subsided.

After a bad fight, Sam and Carly decide to stop working together and the blonde looks stunned when Carly announces that Freddie will be working with her, and says she has turned her back on him. Freddie retorts that Sam didn't ask for her cooperation, which implies that the blonde took her for granted.

Angry Sam claims that she has the same rights as Carly to Freddie, and then tries to bribe him. Seeing how sad young Benson got to see her and Carly arguing, he blames her friend, showing a rare interest in Freddie's feelings. When Carly is in danger of being hit by a van, Freddie runs in front of her and pushes her away saving her and being hit in her place. Sam appears very worried about him and rushes to inform Spencer.
