IKiss

"iKiss" is the tenth episode of the second season of iCarly, the episode originally aired on January 3, 2009. The episode was the first iCarly episode to reach number #1 on the iTunes TV Shows chart.

The kiss between Sam and Freddie in this episode would serve as the setup for the season three episode iThink They Kissed, when Sam, who was getting a broken tooth removed, accidentally tells Carly about the kiss while disoriented by laughing gas.

Plot
Taking revenge after Sam put a dead fish in his locker, Freddie handcuffs Sam to Gibby, and Sam vows to seek revenge against him for this. Later, Carly and Sam return from seeing "The First Kiss" (a lame teen movie; a parody of She's All That) at the movies. This leads to a discussion regarding when Carly, Sam and Freddie had their first kisses, and became the catalyst for a sketch called "Kelly Cooper: Terrible Movie." After Sam leaves Carly's apartment to buy some food, she overhears Freddie make a confession to Carly that he has never had his first "real" kiss, disregarding his kiss with his former girlfriend Valerie (from "iWill Date Freddie"), which was for half a second at school with a bunch of other kids hanging around. To get back at Freddie, Sam blurts out his secret on iCarly.

The next day, Freddie is mocked at school about this by everyone from the youngest kids to some teachers, as he expects to be. Carly insists on dragging him to school despite his expectations, until she sees the reaction of her peers. Freddie then leaves school before the first bell. For the week that followed, he skipped school, refused to talk to anyone, and missed both of his iCarly rehearsals. Carly makes Sam feel guilty about this, so a regretful Sam exposes the same secret about herself (the fact that she never kissed anyone) in their web show, even going so far as to threaten the audience if they tease him again, and are considering teasing her. She goes and apologizes to Freddie. After her apology, both of them feel bummed about never having kissed anyone. They end up kissing each other just to get it over with and promise not to tell anyone about it, not even Carly.

[On iCarly, a fake movie trailer is being shown that the teens filmed]

Announcer: A comedy no one wants to see! Kelly Cooper: Terrible Movie!

[Carly, as Kelly, falls off stool and screams]

Announcer: It's really bad!!

Sam: [after Freddie shows himself to the audience] That was Freddie, who, last week, handcuffed me to a nerd. So, now, guess what?... [pause] Freddie's never kissed a girl. Never. Not once. I heard him say so myself and Carly's a witness. [pause] Okay, later. [walks away]

Carly: [running after Sam] Sam! Sam! You just ruined Freddie's life!

Freddie: [drops the camera he is holding in shock of that]

[on iCarly]

Carly: And now, what you've all been waiting for...

Sam: Carly and I are about to have our very first...

Carly and Sam: MEATBALL WAR!

Sam: We got our slingshots...

Carly: And a hundred meatballs!

Sam: But um... before we start our meatball war, I wanna say something. On the last iCarly... I told you guys that Freddie never kissed anyone and... that was really personal and I shouldn't have said it on the show. And for all you people out there who's been teasing Freddie about it, lay off! Because I bet a whole lot of you haven't kissed anyone either... including me. Yeah. That's right, I've never kissed anyone. So if you want to tease someone about it, tease me. Which is a bad idea unless if you live near a hospital!

Carly: Uhh, our meatball war will be happening soon, but for now, please enjoy this photo of a man with shrimp up his nose. [shows picture]

Freddie: (laughs)

Sam: What?

Freddie: Nothing, it's...

Sam: Tell me!

Freddie: No it's dumb...

Sam: Say it!

Freddie: Okay. I was just gonna say--

Sam: That we should kiss?

Freddie: [looking down] You're going to break my arm now, right?

Sam: No.

Freddie: Well, should we? Just so both of us can get it over with?

Sam: [pause] Just to get it over with.

Freddie: Just to get it over with.

Sam: And you swear we go right back to hating each other as soon as it's over?

Freddie: Oh, totally. And we'll never tell anyone.

Sam: Never. [pause] Well, lean.

They kiss for about 8 seconds.

Freddie: Well that was...

Sam: Nice.

Freddie: Yeah, nice.

Sam: Good work.

Freddie: You too.

As Sam leaves

Freddie: [smiling] Hey, I hate you.

Sam: Hate you too.
