User blog comment:DevonAndersen/Possible iCarly Episodes Without Carly?!?!?!/@comment-2032682-20110722054845/@comment-3553219-20110725200923

I feel like there is no way they will do another iWon't Cancel the Show. They didn't even want to do that one without Sam but just couldn't film the scene in time with Jennette being in the hospital. Here they have plenty of time to shoot around Miranda's schedule.

The behind he scenes video pretty much shows that its not an iBloop episode. Jerry, Nathan and Jennette were all obviously in character and shooting an actual episode.

Probably a B-plot. I can't think of very many other episodes where Carly was pushed to the side. Even iOMG she had significantly more airtime and lines than Sam.
