Plot
An eccentric billionaire asks iCarly to perform a webshow from outer space. He perfoms different tests on the gang to see how well they will handle space travel and they do fine until the 36-hour lockdown test in a space pod, where all three suffer "Space Madness" in varying degrees. Carly eventually has a violent breakdown in getting out of the pod, disqualifying them all. Meanwhile, Spencer is visited by a mysterious girl. He at first tries to turn her in as a lost child, but eventually is led to believe that he was only seeing her because he missed Carly. At the end of the episode, Carly sees the girl, and the mysterious child finally leaves. Carly believes she is once again experiencing "Space Madness".
