ISaved Your Life

iSaved Your Life is the 10th episode of the third season of iCarly, and was advertised by Nickelodeon as an iCarly special. This episode originally aired on January 18, 2010. An extended cut of the episode was aired on February 12, 2010, which contained seven extra minutes of unseen footage; this version has not aired since its initial broadcast and a rebroadcast on February 19, 2010, and is currently only commercially available on DVD. The episode explored the relationship of Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) and Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress), better known as "Creddie". It is thought to be the biggest Creddie episode ever.

The episode is the highest first-run rated episode of iCarly to date watched by 11.2 million viewers. Some people believe that iPilot's received more viewers, but iPilot's ratings were split over two airings of the show over two days. The extended version of iSaved Your Life was viewed by 4.9 million viewers.

Plot
An iCarly fan dares Carly to wear a bunny suit and brush people's teeth for one dollar. While filming the skit, Carly is almost run over by a taco truck while crossing the street, but Freddie pushes her out of the way. While saving Carly's life, Freddie gets hit by the truck. When she visits Freddie later, while he is in the state of a broken right arm and a sprained left leg, she says he is a hero to her and kisses him. After Freddie gets back to school, Sam seems amused by Carly's and Freddie's relationship, saying to Freddie that saving her life is "Carly's bacon," and tells Freddie it won't last because Carly only loves what he did, not who he is.

When Freddie later doubts whether Carly really loves him, they agree to put their relationship on hold until he heals and maybe try it again later (Freddie says if she still wants to be his girlfriend later, he would be really psyched about it). Freddie leaves, but when he is standing in the elevator at the end of the episode, he realizes that he just lost his only oppurtunity to have Carly as his girlfriend, and moans "What did I do?" (this is emphasized in the extended version; he yells the line again, but the camera pans to a wide shot of the building, and Freddie screams even louder).

Sub-Plot
Meanwhile Sam, Freddie, Carly and Spencer have a paintball war called Assassin. Instead of using paintball guns, they use blowtubes to shoot the paintballs. Spencer shoots Carly as she is eating toast. Freddie is shot by Sam during an iCarly camera check. Then, it is down to Sam and Spencer. Both of them take the war seriously, which leads Sam to shoot at an innocent rabbi at school (because Gibby told her it was Spencer wearing a fake beard). At one point, Spencer hides inside Sam's locker, in order to try and get her, but she slams her locker door in his face before Spencer can shoot her with a paintball.

Sam eventually wins when a box gets delivered to Spencer. He thinks Sam is in the box and he has his paintball blowgun ready. When the man opens the box there is a giant lollipop. Spencer says, "It's just a lollipop." The deliveryman then says, "Yeah, but where I come from, we don't call it a lollipop." After Spencer asks what he calls it, he says, "Sucker!". The man hits Spencer with the lollipop then falls to the floor. Sam comes out from her hiding place above the door and before Spencer can react, she shoots Spencer on the forehead. Sam then celebrates by yelling, "I am the Ultimate Assassin!"

Extended Version scenes

 * We hear and see the fan dare Carly to wear a bunny suit and offer to brush people's teeth for a dollar.
 * Carly finds two backup blowtubes when she frisks Sam.
 * When Carly goes in Freddie's shower blindfolded, she trips and falls. Although this was in the script, there were no pads on the floor so Miranda fell for real.Sweetkiss.jpg
 * Freddie shocks himself with a Galaxy Wars Stun Blazer after Carly kisses him.
 * Freddie says "I can't believe this is really happening" and touches her face, and Carly smiles and asks "Would you like it to happen again?".
 * Carly and Freddie resume kissing for about 32 minutes, then Mrs. Benson comes home and finds them.
 * After Carly tells Sam that she kissed Freddie, they talk to the door; Carly eventually pulls Sam into her apartment.
 * When Freddie goes back to school, a girl asks Freddie if he's going to be in the next 'Batman' movie, and Freddie tells her as a joke to spread the rumor.
 * A girl shows interest in Freddie, and Carly gets jealous and kisses him. The girl says "I guess you're busy," and Carly replies "Yep, see you!". The girl leaves, and Freddie says "My kitty's got claws!" and Carly replies "Rawr!" flirtatiously.
 * After the delivery man takes the lollipop out of the shipping box, Spencer takes an umbrella, shouts "Sam?!" and then repeatedly stabs the packing material in the box with the umbrella.
 * The delivery man asks Spencer to sign for the package after Sam defeats him.
 * After Freddie explains the "bacon" metaphor to Carly, he asks "Did you try the bolivian bacon?", and Carly answers "Yeah. It changes you." in the same way Sam said it.
 * After Freddie asks himself "What did I do?" in the elevator, he screams the same words even louder than before, as a wide shot of Bushwell is shown.

Trivia

 * The bunny suit worn by Carly is identical to the one worn by the middle guy in the viewer video in iWant More Viewers.
 * When Carly and Spencer come to visit Freddie, Mrs. Benson punches in an inordinately long door-unlock code to let them in. On his blog, Dan Schneider revealed that the combination was 46 digits long.
 * Thunder blasts in the background when Carly kisses Freddie in the scene at the iCarly studio.
 * This is the second episode to have a near-death experience to a character, the first being "iQuit iCarly", which incidentally takes place just after this episode. Also, this is the first episode where a near-death experience/character in peril is off-screen.
 * Miranda Cosgrove said in an interview that iSaved Your Life was her favorite episode.
 * This is one of the most major Creddie episodes of the series, although it wasn't the first one.
 * This episode, along with others, has many hints that Creddie could happen again later on in the series.
 * According to an article in Tiger Beat, Miranda Cosgrove and Nathan Kress were completely unaware that they would be kissing each other until they read the script, just before taping began. They were shocked. Miranda stated, "Since we're friends, it's not uncomfortable!"
 * In an interview, Miranda Cosgrove stated that she would like Carly and Freddie to have another little romance, which lead to the fan theory that she may be a Creddie shipper.
 * Carly called Freddie's equipment a "4-score giggle-jam server." It was actually an "8-core 3-gigahertz server".
 * Did you know that in the extended version, the girl who flirts with Freddie when he comes back to school after the accident has a notebook with squares on it, just like the one Jennette Mccurdy showed us in Sam's locker in the iCarly locker tours? It might even be the one from Sam's locker.
 * Dan stated in his fun facts that they were supposed to film the part where Freddie saves Carly. But he said that it would make the episode too long . It might also have been written out because younger kids watch the show and might have been scared by the idea of Freddie being hit by a truck, even if it would not be shown.

Goofs

 * Freddie said that Mrs. Benson pounds his pill with a mallet and puts the powder in his fruit sauce, but in "iNevel", it was mentioned that Mrs. Benson thought that Freddie was allergic to fruit.
 * In the scene where Carly wears a bunny suit, you can see that Carly’s hair is at the back. But, when Sam replies “a good assassin always has a back up,” you can see Carly’s hair is not whole at the back, but already in front. After Sam’s inspection, the whole of Carly’s hair is in front.
 * Carly "blindfolds" herself (using socks and a pair of goggles) before going in to help Freddie out of the shower. When they emerge, Freddie is in his bathrobe, and Carly (who is still blindfolded) is stumbling to help him to his bed. In hindsight, there was no real need for Carly to remain blindfolded once Freddie had put his bathrobe on. She could have taken the goggles off and would have had a much easier time of helping Freddie.
 * There was some sort of labeling system on Freddie's dresser. So when Carly opened Freddie's underwear drawer, she should have expected to find underwear in there and shouldn't have been suprised.
 * In the extended version, Spencer (who suspected that Sam was hiding inside the shipping box) took a long umbrella and stabbed the packing material with great force. It made very little sense for Spencer to do this, because if Sam really had been inside the box, she would almost certainly have been seriously injured.
 * When Carly is in Freddie's room the second time, and after she leaves, the window is shown and it is not raining. However, in the first picture of the window, and in the shot of the building, it is raining. Not necssarily a goof. It could suddenly stop raining in real life.
 * In the original edition, the Violin God game Carly's playing continues to work by itself when she's talking to Freddie. The mistake was corrected in the extended cut.
 * The nature of playing a real violin would make a Violin God game impossible to make.

Sam: Remember two years ago when I dated that guy Eric Moseby–- kid with the big nose?

Freddie: Sure, Noseby Moseby.

Sam: Uh-huh. And remember how he tried to get me to be his girlfriend for like six months and I kept saying,"Get away from me, or I'll kill you"? And then he bought me a subscription to the Bacons of the World Club, and then boom, I thought I was in love with the guy?

Freddie: I'm listening.

Sam: I was never in love with him; I was in love with the foreign bacon that kept showing up at my door every month... like a beautiful, greasy dream.

Freddie: I doubt that bacon can make you think you're in love with someone.

Sam: You ever had Bolivian bacon?

Freddie: No.

Sam: It changes you....

Freddie: Well, I didn't buy Carly any foreign bacon, I saved her life!

Sam: And that's Carly's bacon! She's not in love with you, she's in love with what you did...

Freddie: You just can't stand the idea of Carly and me as a couple.

Sam: Very true, it makes me wanna puke up blood. But still; what I say is true; and you know it!

Freddie: I gotta get to class...

Spencer: (inside Sam's locker) HEEEERE'S SPENCY! [laughs; Sam closes her locker, locks it, and walks away] I gotta quit saying witty things before I blow...

Freddie: [confused and a little surprised] Really?

Carly: Yeah, it's cute and geeky at the same time. It's cukey.

Freddie: You've never called my tech talk cukey before...

Carly: Well, that was before we were... You know...

[Carly and Freddie kiss]

Carly: You retreated...

Freddie: I didn't retreat...

Carly: You kinda did... What's wrong? Freddie: Nothin...just ummm... Are we? Are we like... boyfriend and girlfriend now?

Carly: I dunno, maybe...

Freddie: Oh...

Carly: But don't say "oh" like that...

Freddie: I just said, "Oh."

Carly: No, you said it like you were at a raffle, and you won a prize, and then you found out that the prize was just a can of soup, so you go, "Oh."

Freddie: You know I like you way better than most soups.

Carly: [giggles] Well yay... Now, what do you wanna do? Kiss, or bump up your 4-score giggle-jam server?

Freddie: Eight-core three gigahertz.

Carly: Yeah, that's really interesting, come here. [Carly and Freddie kiss]

[Freddie retreats after Carly kisses him]

Carly: Wow... you seriously don't want to kiss me. Why?

Freddie: 'Cause ... I'm just bacon!

Carly: You're bacon?

Freddie: Foreign bacon!!

Carly: Did that taco truck hit you in your brain? I thought you wanna me to be your girlfriend since the first time you met me.

Freddie: I have...

Carly: Well, I'm standing here with my lips all glossed up, and you're treating me like I'm your icky cousin Amanda.

Freddie: Amanda is disgusting...

Carly: Freddie...

Freddie: OK. You know that you always said you like me? But you don't like me that way? You know, the good way?

Carly: Yeah, but that was before...

Freddie: Before I saved your life?

Carly: So?

Freddie: Nothing's changed. I'm still the same Freddie, and you still the same Carly.

Carly: But I love y...

Freddie: You love what I did. You loved that I risked my life to save yours, but, I don't think you're in love with me. You just think you are...

Carly: So you're saying you don't want me to be your girlfriend?

Freddie: No-I do, it's just...I think we should wait. Until the hero thing blows over. And then [comes closer and smiles at her] if you still want to be my girlfriend, then I'd be really psyched about it.

(Freddie, after breaking up with Carly)

Freddie: What did I do?!
