IMeet The First Lady

iMeet the First Lady is the 10th episode of Season 5, and the 93rd episode overall. First Lady Michelle Obama will make a guest appearance.

Background
Dan Schneider wrote the episode just for Obama and her Joining Forces initiative. Network president Cyma Zarghami has explained that the episode is in no way a political statement for the show, nor the Joining Forces program; rather, it's a "feel-good initiative."

Plot
Colonel Steven Shay is not able to make it home for his birthday as planned. Thus, Sam and Freddie hack into a secure military website to set up a web chat so Carly can speak to her dad on his birthday. Mrs. Obama, who hears about the Freddie and Sam’s efforts to connect Carly with her dad, then comes to talk to them about the importance of connecting soldiers with their families.
