Here's a little refresher course on the times Freddie was in the friend zone.
I'm in love with you, you just wanna be friends,
and I'm totally cool living with that constant pain.
Oh, Freddie, always looking to get himself out of that friend zone.
I was going to walk you home from school, but I couldn't find ya.
Whether it's by being a bad boy...
'Cause I'm bad!
Welcome to Bad Boy Town, starring Fred Benson.
You're not a bad boy!
Sabotaging Carly's speed dating attempts...
I collect fishing lures, uh, my bedtime is 9:30,
and girls usually don't like me because I have an odd odor.
You know, I think you might be perfect for Carly.
Or even sharing a romantic dance with Carly.
But somehow he always seems to end up right back in the friend zone.
But this guy just doesn't give up.
Any desperate girls ask you yet?
Actually, two. Jamie and Ariana.
So, which one are you going with?
I haven't given either one an answer yet.
In case someone else wants to ask me.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah...
Take a hint, dude.
Carly will never love you.
But remember the time he saved Carly's life?
You saved my life.
Come on.
Sam said that truck would have run right over me.
Maybe.
That seemed to get her to like him.
But that time he sort of put himself in the friend zone.
So you don't want me to be your girlfriend?
No, I do, but...
I think we should wait a while.
Till I'm out of this cast and this whole hero thing wears off.
Okay.
What did I do?
In fact, he friendzones himself a lot,
like when Sam's sister Melanie was totally into him.
I can't believe you're doing this.
- Why? I like you. - You hate me. You always have.
- Maybe Sam hates you. - You are Sam!
Really?
Would Sam do this?
But then, Freddie unintentionally friendzoned himself.
Then admit there's no Melanie and that I'm not gullible
and that I'm too smart for you.
There is no Melanie,
you're not gullible and you're too smart for me.
That's right! In your face, Puckett!
Bye, ladies.
Come on, dude. That one's on you.
And he and Sam, sort of mutually friendzoned themselves
after their first kiss, so... that's weird.
Well, that was, um...
- Nice. - Yeah. Nice, uh...
- Good work. - Thank you, you too.
Hey.
I hate you.
Hate you too.
Oh, and then they did it again.
So, did we just break up?
Feels like it.
But it was mutual, right?
Yeah...
But I'm still gonna tell people I dumped your butt
and broke your nerdy, little heart.
Somehow, Freddie always bounces back.
And you know what? Eventually, his luck turns around
because Carly is clearly into him by the end of the show.
And it's not because he saved her or because she feels bad,
it's because she actually, truly likes him.
[clearing their throats]
Oh, right, but then she moved to Italy.
So, I'm gonna get my bags and head downstairs.
- Why don't I help you with those bags? - Yeah, that'd be nice.
Landing Freddie on an all expense paid trip back to the friend zone.
It's okay, it's like home to him.
