IDate Sam & Freddie

iDate Sam & Freddie is the 15th episode of Season 4 of iCarly, and the eighty-fifth episode overall. It is also the second episode of the four-episode storyline stemming off of iOMG. The episode received just over 4.1 million views on its premiere date.

Plot
Sam and Freddie start dating. They have Carly settle numerous disagreements between them, eventually annoying her by having her work out every single fight they have. At a dinner date at Pini's, Carly eventually loses it and tells them off, saying that they shouldn't date if they aren't able to solve their own problems.

Meanwhile, Spencer builds a lawn in the Shay's loft, much to Carly's annoyance, even though she admits that it is nice looking at the fake stars Spencer mounted on the ceiling.

Also, Gibby tries to raise a pet dog with Carly, even though she keeps telling him she doesn't want to. He names the dog Sir-Licks-A-Lot.

Freddie: Uh, I don't wanna start an argument, but you might wanna finish chewing before you talk...

Sam: [with a mouthful of lasagna] What is this, "Pick on Puckett" night?

Freddie: [looks to Carly] Carly, is it wrong to tell a person that it's not polite to talk with their mouth full of lasagna?

Sam: [looks to Carly and scoffs] Is it wrong for a person to pick on every little thing I do?

Carly: [frustrated as she slams her fork down and, gets up] Yes. And yes! You both should be furious with each other! [walks over to their table and pushes Sam over hard]

Freddie: Well, I wouldn't say I'm furious.

Carly: Well, you should be furious! What guy wants to go on a date and watch a girl go: [mocking Sam's table manners] "Bleh! I'm Sam Puckett! Bleh! Wa-wa-wa."

Sam: [looks offended]
