IWill Date Freddie

iWill Date Freddie is the ninth episode of the first season of iCarly.

Plot
iCarly introduces a new feature -- the "blab cam" where viewers can chat with Sam and Carly on the air. One of the first callers is a fellow Ridgeway Bulldog named Valerie, who seems more interested in Freddie than Sam or Carly, so that the girls suggest the two should go on a date.

With the help of Sam and Carly, Freddie and Valerie have a good first date and become inseparable for the next week. Valerie in the end asks him to help her do a webshow on the same day as iCarly, causing Freddie to quit the show. He hires Jeremy as iCarly's new tech producer, but Jeremy messes up the show with his constant sneezing, and ends up sneezing a piece of tissue he stuffed in his nose at Sam's face.

After the disastrous iCarly episode, Valerie admits to Sam that she is trying to ruin iCarly and establish her own show as the best show on the web. She then offers Sam a place as her co-host. Sam fakes interest, but immediately tells Carly about it, and they both give the news to Freddie. At first, he doesn't believe them, but when he confronts Valerie about it, she admits it. Freddie breaks up with her, and after Sam tells him he is important to iCarly, he returns as iCarly's tech producer.

Without Freddie's help, Valerie fails miserably with her show, The Valerie Show.

Trivia

 * This is the first episode that Sam admits Freddie is just as important to the show as she and Carly are.Robyn's_Weiner-Dog-Pig.JPG
 * This is the first time that Sam and Freddie hug.
 * This episode has the "Robin Weiner" reference (later used in iBelieve in Bigfoot) in the webcast scene where Sam says, "We'd like to thank our friend Robin for letting us borrow her weiner dog."
 * This is the first episode to feature the Spaghetti Tacos. They would later become a running gag throughout the series.
 * It was during the filming of this episode that Drake Bell (Miranda Cosgrove's former Drake & Josh costar) visited the set. He walked onto the kitchen set and said, "Hey, Megan." (addressing Miranda by the name of her "Drake & Josh" character), and asked, "Where's Josh? Where's Mom and Dad?" A clip of this was included in iBloop.
 * This is the episode in which Sam finds out about Socko.
 * Freddie's mom seemed to want Carly to love Freddie, but in iSaved Your Life, she seemed disgusted that they were kissing (What the YUCK?!?!). She also seems to like Carly (or at least not have a grudge against her) unlike many other episodes (iFence - "You'd better hope so, missy").
 * This is the first episode focusing on Freddie.
 * In iKiss, Freddie said his kiss with Valerie didn't count, although when Carly asked if he had kissed Valerie in this episode (see quotes below), Freddie replied "a little".
 * The word "skunk-bag" as used in this episode is a euphemism for scumbag (a contemptible lowlife), the origin of which has vulgar connotations.

 * When the monitor fell on Valerie, she said she was okay. In reality, she would have been hurt.
