IFence

iFence is the 22nd episode of the first season of iCarly. It first aired May 10, 2008.

Plot
Freddie gets tired of hanging out with Carly and Sam and taking part in their girl activities all the time, so Spencer takes him to the fencing studio. Freddie shows a natural talent for fencing, and Spencer puts him up for a match against Spencer's archrival Doug Toder. While training with Freddie for the match, he completely forgets that the Dorfmans, eccentric relatives of him and Carly, are supposed to visit them soon.

Carly suffers through an evening with the Dorfmans alone and is angry with Spencer for fencing while she suffered. She tells Mrs. Benson about it, who gives Freddie a tick bath and forbids him to fence any more. When Carly tries to talk Mrs. Benson into letting Freddie fence again so he could have some guy time with Spencer, Carly and Freddie learn that Freddie's great-grandfather had an obsession with fencing and all Bensons have a natural talent for it. Both kids believe this to be a lie. Freddie still manages to talk her into letting him fight Doug Toder, by threatening to never make another puzzle with her again. Toder has no chance against Freddie, and when he cheats by pushing Freddie with his elbow, Mrs. Benson gets angry and takes him on herself. She proves she really has talent for fencing, as she manages to fend off Toder and his two sidekicks simultaneously and drives them out of the fencing studio. Once back at the Shay apartment, the trio looks up the Fencing Bensons, and see that Marrissa's story was true.



Meanwhile, Sam and Freddie have engaged in a bet that Sam can finish a book in a week, with the loser having to do the "ushe" bet, (spraying a hose down one's pants to make it look like they've wet themselves). Sam chooses The Penny Treasure and becomes interested in books for the first time, comparing it to "TV in her head". When she finishes the book in time and can answer a random question Freddie asks her about it, Freddie reluctantly admits she won the bet and pays his debt.
