ICan't Take It

iCan't Take It is the sixteenth episode of Season 4 of iCarly. It is also the third episode of the four-episode storyline stemming off of iOMG.

Plot
The episodes starts with Sam and Carly playing with magnetic fish and Sam eating ham. Freddie comes in and gives Sam a kiss. He then tells them he has finished editing the Adventures of Super bra. Much to Carly's dismay, Freddie has edited Carly out of the fake trailer and focuses on Sam. Mrs. Benson discovers Sam and Freddie’s relationship after Gibby, now the subject of abuse, concocts a plan to split them up.

Also, Sam and Freddie have Spencer lie to Mrs. Benson about their romance. Spencer comes up with the story that he sent Freddie out to get yeast because he's starting a bread business in the apartment.

Later while Carly and Sam are at Glitter Gloss, Mrs. Benson attempts to bribe Freddie into breaking up with Sam by giving him a precious metal worth $100,000. However to Mrs. Benson's disapproval, Freddie denies the offer. Then Sam and Freddie go on another movie date only to come back late and miss a web cast of iCarly. It is revealed that to Sam and Freddie that Gibby was the one that outed their romance to Mrs. Benson.

Next, Sam then becomes furious and beats up Gibby so bad that he dislocated a breast bone and lost a clump of hair. Angered that Sam and Freddie missed iCarly and at the prodding of Mrs. Benson Carly lets it slip that Sam was the one that sabotaged Freddie's application to New Research and Development Camp. They devise a plan to tell Freddie that Sam messed with his application in hopes it will split them.

During the next iCarly rehearsal when Sam and Freddie show up three minutes. Carly and Gibby set their plan into motion and aid Mrs. Benson. Freddie's mom shows him the application. He figures out it was Sam who changed all his answers because he didn't tell her what it was. She tries to explain it was four mouths before they began dating, but he is too hurt to say anything other it was something he wanted and could have helped get into any college he wanted. Sam apologizes, but Freddie does not respond to that.

Meanwhile Carly watching this from downstairs feeling guilty runs back upstairs. Gibby, then forcibly escorts Freddie's mom out of the studio because he does not want to get in the way of "young love." After Mrs. Benson tried to attack Carly from salvaging Sam and Freddie's relationship. Carly then points Freddie should break up with Sam and mentions Sam's good qualities. Sam and Freddie stand there awkwardly until Carly pushes Sam and Freddie together until they kiss. Sam and Freddie kiss and hug when they make up. Gibby sings a love song for everyone to celebrate Sam and Freddie not breaking up.

Trivia

 * According to a photo posted by Dan via his Official Facebook Page. This episode reached Number 1 on iTunes in the Childrens' TV Category The day after its television premiere. 321587_10150327596073308_134265793307_8161214_1682338660_n.jpg
 * The working title for this episode was originally "iBreak Up". The current title as of now is "iCan't Take It", confirmed by Dan.
 * Some scenes in this episode were shown in promos for iLost My Mind and iDate Sam &amp; Freddie.
 * This is the ninth and tenth time Nathan and Jennette have had an on-screen kiss thus far for iCarly. The first as Sam and Freddie in iKiss, the second as Freddie and Melanie in iTwins. They've also had to kiss twice for iOMG as Sam and Freddie, where Dan revealed they shot the kiss two different ways. Then, the one after that in iLost My Mind and twice in iDate Sam & Freddie and twice for iCan't Take It - not counting practice kisses or do-overs. Also it's the sixth and seventh kiss for Sam and Freddie.
 * For some reason, in the promos, Spencer's pants fall down after he says the line "What?!", like in iGot A Hot Room, though this didn't happen in the actual episode. It seems that this was a deleted scene.
 * The bit where Spencer causes stuff to randomly catch on fire is in this episode. This time it's his his stove-top and oven where he is cooking and baking while wearing a chef's hat.
 * iCarly tweeted Reason #5 why the BRAND NEW iCarly is gonna be awesome: Spencer opens a bakery. In. His. Loft. Why? Find out Saturday!
 * iCarly tweeted Reason #4 why the BRAND NEW iCarly is gonna be great: Gibby sings a love song to someone!
 * iCarly tweeted "Reason #3 to watch the next iCarly is 'cuz it's gonna be awesome. Don't believe us? Watch a sneak peek here! http://bit.ly/cnttkitprm " However it is only a link to the first promo for this episode posted on iCarly.com and not an actual sneak peek.
 * iCarly posted another link to the first and possible only promo for this episode "The next episode of iCarly is this Saturday at 8! It's called "iCan't Take It" and is going to be fan-bat-tastic :P" via iCarly's Official Facebook page.

 * This is the first episode of iCarly in awhile with only one promo.
 * When Sam says, "Holy crab!" she makes it clear to Spencer that she said crab, not another word. This is likely a reference to iThink They Kissed, when many people thought Sam said a dirty word, when she in fact said crab.
 * Gibby sings a song at the end of the episode.
 * The final scene for this episode on iCarly.com is different because the song is longer and at the end Sam and Freddie put their arms around each other.

Goofs

 * In IRocked the Vote during an iCarly sketch it was shown Gibby could not sing well, yet in this episode he sings exceptionally well.
 * Sam's eating some sort of jerky when she's hanging out with Carly before Freddie comes in and she was chewing a bite before greeted her with "Hey, cuteness." But when she said "Lips please" her mouth wasn't full of jerky and the jerky is no longer seen in the room or by Sam after she and Freddie kiss.
