Plot[]

IGEJHTMN Creddie 02

Spencer shows his multi-layered dip

Spencer shows his nine-layer brunch dip made with the favorite food of his friends. For Carly, he put oatmeal, berries and bacon. For Freddie, he put grapes, coffee and leftover pizza. For Harper, he put figs, caviar and spicy Bloody Mary. He invites them to try, but they are disinterested. While drinking mimosas, Carly makes fun of Freddie's parasite.

Millicent shows a clip of the Weau Bros show. Carly watches as Wes and Beau criticize Carly for dragging them to Webicon on Wes' grandmother's half-birthday and then dumping both of them on a helicopter. Beau blames his inability to commit to Carly and they both dub Carly the "Ice Queen." They turn the internet against Carly and even have people mail boxes of ice to her.

Carly writes ideas onto a whiteboard

Carly has her friends give her ideas on how to win back the internet, and she writes them onto a whiteboard.

Freddie talks to Spencer about his progress in organizing his launch party for the Kevin app. Spencer proposes going primal and having everyone eat with their hands tied behind their backs like animals, but Freddie is not satisfied with this idea. Millicent offers to help throw a party, since she has a penchant for throwing serious parties.

Freddie zips up Carly's dress

Carly struggles to zip up the back of her dress and has Freddie help her. Carly then helps Freddie tie up his tie. Pearl comes in and tells them the party is a bit somber. Freddie is confused by what she means, and when he shows up at the party, he realizes that Millicent and Spencer have thrown a funeral. Everyone is dressed in black, there is a large photo of Freddie, a coffin of dog bones, and an organ playing in the background.

While Freddie and Pearl talk, he reveals that he is actually single. Carly does a live stream from the party and is joined by the three fans from the onion festival and Mrs. Benson holding a ring. They go to find Freddie and accidentally live stream Freddie and Pearl kissing.

Freddie encourages Carly to pretend to dump her. Carly and Freddie do another live stream in front of the coffin of dog bones and say that their relationship has ended. Midway through their stream, the three fans, Tati, Emily and Boris boo Pearl for being a homewrecker. Tati goes as far as uploading a picture of her driver's license online and doxxing her. Carly decides to clear things up and states that she and Freddie were never together. Suddenly, Spencer bursts out of the coffin of dog bones.

The internet goes back to hating Carly. Carly receives a vacuum cleaner with the message "You suck!" However, Carly is fine and insists she only cares for her real fans who have not left her.

Millicent shows a new episode of the Weau Bros show. While Beau and Wes talk, they get into an argument and Beau quits.

Harper and Kevin

Harper is taking care of Dutch's dog Kevin, while she is on tour, but struggles to get Kevin to like her. Harper worries that if Kevin hates her, Dutch will hate her. Harper goes as far as making Kevin cooked meals and massaging her, but to no avail. Freddie brings Dr. Pearl Wallace, the Kevin app's certified animal therapist, to help Harper and Kevin. Pearl blames their issues on the energy that Harper is feeding Kevin.

Harper and Kevin face time Dutch. Dutch reveals that her tour got extended by 6 months and invites Harper to join her in Bavaria. Harper doesn't want to leave and proposes having a long-distance relationship, but Dutch is against the idea and claims that phone sex is illegal in Germany. They decide to wait until they are in the same place, and Dutch decides to have her mom take care of Kevin instead.
