ISaw Him First

iSaw Him First is the season premiere of Season Two of iCarly'''. This episode, along with iSaved Your Life were the only two episodes of iCarly to be extended.'''

Plot
In the second season opener, Carly and Sam both develop a crush on Freddie's "nerd" pal, Shane. When they cannot decide who should date him, they decide to go by the first one to kiss him. Meanwhile, Spencer hires a repairman to fix the elevator, but the repairman proves to be no help at all, because he's just a dancer. Shane accidentally falls from the iCarly studio to the basement, because of the broken elevator, after he finds out that Sam and Carly are competing for him. While in the hospital, Carly kisses him after everyone else leaves the room, ultimately winning the contest.

Trivia

 * Sam seems to be a "professional" liar in iRocked the Vote, but here, she couldn't come up with a lie to Carly ( maybe Carly knows if Sam is lying or truthful ). Also, in iWill Date Freddie, Sam says that she doesn't lie, contradicting what she states in iRocked the Vote. There is a possibility that Sam learned to lie after this episode because she wasn't able to lie to Carly, or that she was already a "professional liar" in both iWill Date Freddie and here but just can't lie to her two friends.
 * After Carly kisses Shane she says "I win!", but she didn't technically win, because the bet stated that HE had to kiss the girls.
 * The elevator is shown to be removable from the set and can be controlled. (Proven in iLike Jake)
 * Even though this is the first episode of Season 2, the production code is 204 and iGo to Japan's production code is 201-203, meaning that iGo to Japan was going to come on first.
 * This is the first episode where Freddie has a deep voice.
 * Shane is played by James Maslow, who later appeared on the show Big Time Rush as James. Interestingly, the character of James flirts with Miranda Cosgrove in the episode "Big Time Christmas".

Extensions

 * When Carly asks Shane to rehearse with him, he says "Doesn't Freddie live across the hall?" and Carly replies, "Yeah, but he's not that good an actor."
 * When Carly and Shane are rehearsing the play she made, she lies and tells him that she has modeling jobs.
 * During the scene where Sam lies to the nurse about her being Rebecca Berkowitz, she is actually shown.
 * When the pizza delivery-man arrives at Spencer's house to give him his pizza, he steals his lamp while Spencer hurls pizza at him.



Continuity

 * Permanent Continuity Change: Freddie's voice is lower in the episode and onward, due to Nathan Kress going through puberty.
 * Starting from this episode, Carly doesn't wears her bangs up in twists anymore.

Quotes
Sam: Why does your voice sound deeper?

Freddie: I don't know, puberty?

Carly: [about Shane] Do you think it'd be crazy if I ask him out?

Sam: Oh. No, it's just-

Carly: You think I'm being too pushy? Too desperate?

Sam: No.

Carly: Well, tell me what you're thinking!

Sam: I'm thinking about asking him out.

Carly: Oh. Um, I think the only way to be fair here is to honor the Girl Code.

Sam: So whoever saw him first-

Carly: -gets to date him.

Sam: Agreed.

Carly: Good.

Sam and Carly: So I'm gonna ask him out.

Carly: Did you feel his arm muscles?

Sam: No.

Carly: Oh. Well, they're large.

Sam: You didn't feel his arm muscles!

Carly: [speaking very fast] Yes, I did, too! He told me that he could beat his dad in arm wrestling, and I said, "No way," and he said, "Oh, no, it's true," and I said, "Wow, you must be really strong," and he said, "Well, I work out a little bit," and I said, "Really?" And he said, "Yeah, you wanna feel my biceps?" And I said, "Sure, I do," and so I felt them, and they felt awesome.

Carly: Well, I don't care because I have a date with Shane tonight.

Sam: Obviously.

Carly: What's that supposed to mean?

Sam: Why don't you ask your new helping bra?

Freddie: [eating a cookie] MM Who made 'em?

Carly: Sam.

Freddie: [spits out the cookie]

Carly: It's okay. She didn't put anything bad in them.

Freddie: Yeah, but when was the last time Sam washed her hands?

[Carly slowly puts her cookie back on the plate]

''[Sam sits at a kissing booth. Freddie walks up.]''´

Sam: Not for nine billion dollars.

Freddie: Don't worry, I don't wanna kiss you. But I do want you to win the Shane contest.

Sam: You don't want me to win, you just want Carly to lose.

Freddie: THAT IS...true.

Shane: (seeing Carly and Sam fight over him, yells): GIRLS!!! (Carly and Sam stop fighting) I don't know what's up with you two, but I've had enough of it! I've seen girls get competitive over a guy before, but you two are out of control!

Sam: (seeing Shane going to the broken elevator): But Shane!

Shane: You girls call me when you two learn to be a little more...

Carly: NO!!!

Shane: (falls, screams): ...MATUUUUUUUURRRRREEEE!!!!!!!!

(Spencer in the next shot hears him land followed by a high-pitched squeal)
