ISpeed Date

iSpeed Date is the 3rd episode of the 3rd Season of iCarly.

Plot
Ridgeway is sponsoring an upcomging Girls' Choice Dance and Carly has her heart set on going with a boy named Nate, but after she accidentally spits in Nate's eye, he says Rebecca Berkowitz already asked him. When Carly has trouble finding another date to the dance, Sam recommends using iCarly as a means of doing so, but Carlyobjects to the idea. After a performance of The Englishman Who Was A Terrible Father To His Two Children Named Fuffley And Peeta, Sam delays the closing of the show by handcuffing Carly to a chair, gagging her with duct tape, and asking for Seattle-area boys to apply to be her date.

Due to the fact that she objected to the idea of using her webshow to beg for boys, Carly insists that in retaliation for doing that, Sam should ask Gibby to the dance since no one else did, but Sam becomes enraged when Gibby turns her down. When the gang is overwhelmed by the amount of boys who show up (752), they hold a speed-dating session. Carly finally finds a boy, Austin. She brings him on a double-date with Freddie who gets stuck with Magic Malika, a girl who's fixated on performing magic tricks. Freddie was stuck with Malika because he took to long to reply to Jamie and Ariana.



Despite being rejected by Gibby, Sam goes to his house and insists on taking him to the dance, only to find that he already has a date (a girl named Tasha who is apparently out of his league). He didn't want to go to the dance because Tasha doesn't go to his school, the dance was girl's choice, and they're spending the night at his house. Sam sees no point in staying and walks away.

After the dance, Carly, Freddie and their dates spend time at the Groovy Smoothie, where Malika performs tricks at Freddie's expense until she realizes she's out past her curfew, and vanishes her way home. Carly fares no better with her date and she demands he leave after he refuses to let her say a whole sentence through out the entire date. In the end, Carly and Freddie share a dance together at the Groovy Smoothie, which Sam walks in on. Upon seeing them so close together, she silently leaves.

Trivia

 * First time we see Carly being "overpowered" by Sam--she gets handcuffed and gagged
 * The scene at Gibby's house reveals that his last name is "Gibson". (It appears on his mailbox. It says The Gibson's)

 * Carly and Freddie were scripted to kiss, but it was taken out because it interferes with future episodes (iSaved Your Life).ISpeed_Date_Carly_.jpg
 * If you look closely, you can see Freddie has a picture of his mom on his PearPhone. His mom may have made him put her as his background to prevent him from putting up anything else.
