I wasn't really that interested in iParty With Victorious, so I haven't really been keeping up ... Do we know why this episode is being broadcast as a stand-alone?

At first, I figured it was just another example of Nickelodeon airing episodes out of the intended order, which seems to be a perpetual thorn in the side for Dan Schneider. Then I heard that the episode was delayed because of production problems, or something of that nature. Or it might be some other reason.

I'm asking this because some folks keep saying that it doesn't matter if there are any Creddie hints (or even any Seddie hints, for that matter) in iPWV because it isn't connected to the current storyline. But, as I see it, that argument would only work if Dan Schneider knew, at the time that the they created this episode, that it was going to wind up being broadcast as a stand-alone event.

If he believed, at the time, that it was going to be part of the show's regular continuity, then any relationship hints he inserted into it (which he has done A LOT in the past four years) can still be considered noteworthy for future episodes, whether the episode itself wound up being part of the show's continuity or not.

Of course, the Seddie shippers don't really have a reason to care if there are any official Seddie moments in this episode or not (except perhaps that it might help bridge the gap between Sam acting relatively normally and the moodiness she started displaying in iOMG). The events of iOMG stand for them, regardless.

The Creddie shippers, on the other hand, can find hope in any Creddie hints in this episode, that there's still a chance that Dan Schneider might still be building up toward another Carly/Freddie romance.

I've said this before ... Not trying to bring anybody down here, but I do have faith in Sam and Freddie's relationship for the long run. But I am also still holding out hope that Dan Schneider will give Carly and Freddie at least one more chance at a meaningful relationship with each other, if for no other reason than to disprove the notion that "all they would ever do is kiss."
