iLove You is the 17th episode of Season 4 and the 87th episode of iCarly overall. This is also the fourth and final episode in the four-episode Seddie-storyline stemming off of iOMG.
The episode aired September 24, 2011 during Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play.
Plot
Carly suggests that Sam and Freddie should try exploring each other's favorite interests and hobbies. However, neither Sam going with Freddie to a train club meeting nor Freddie visiting Sam's relatives in jail with her end too well. When they overhear Carly criticizing Spencer's relationship with his former babysitter, they question their own relationship. After a talk in the elevator reflecting on the past few weeks (since iOMG), they mutually decide to break up, but when Sam leaves the elevator, Freddie says he loves her, and she replies that she loves him, too. After they decide that it's only 10:30 and they can postpone their break-up to midnight, they go back to kissing in the elevator.
Subplot
Meanwhile, Spencer is dating his former babysitter Jenna Hamilton, but they keep acting like they are still babysitter and child instead of boyfriend and girlfriend, causing Carly to give them a speech about how their relationship is forced and wrong. Sam and Freddie overhear this conversation, eventually leading to their breakup as well.

Trivia
- When Spencer comes in the first scene at school, in a low voice, he says "Stay my Baby!" in the tone of what Miranda Cosgrove sang in her song, "Stay My Baby".
- Charlene Amoia tweeted thanking Miranda and Jerry "for an amazing week on iCarly."
- Andrew Shea guest stars as Barry, Freddie's nerdy friend for his Model Train Club, The Training Bros.
- This is the first and only appearance of Sam's Uncle Carmine so far.
- iCarly tweeted a photo promoting the episode, iLost My Mind, with the caption "#iLostMyMind when I found out what REALLY happens with Sam and Freddie!!! Ya gotta see this episode!" However, the photo shows a scene of Sam and Freddie standing in the elevator together in this episode.
- Dan tweeted a photo from the episode when he edited it.
- Freddie's shirt from the last scene was also the shirt he wore in iLost My Mind.
- iCarly tweeted "'Cuz we love you so much, we're gonna air a NEW iCarly! Watch iLove You Sat. @ 8PM and check out this sneak peek now! However, it is not a sneak peek. It is only a link to the first promo for this episode on iCarly.com.
- iCarly tweeted "Spencer has a GF or maybe more like a babysitter. Either way we can't focus on anything but his pj's. RT if u love 'em!"
- iCarly tweeted "Yep, this actually happened and you won't find out why until Saturday! But it'll be worth the wait!"
- iCarly tweeted "Sam's usually in jail alone but this time, EVERYONE'S locked up with her. She's happy... everyone else=not so much!"
- This episode only had one promo like the previous episode ICan't Take It.
- Ironically enough, Jerry Trainor is 5 years older than Charlene Amoia.
- This was the second episode where Carly, Sam and Freddie aren't shown filming an episode of iCarly, the first being iBeat the Heat.
- Listen very carefully in the second scene when Spencer and Jenna are at the loft, because the song "Tell Me That You Love Me" from the Victorious episode "The Great Ping-Pong Scam" can be heard. Later, during the scene where Sam and Freddie apologize to each other, playing in the background is Jade and Cat's version of a song called "Give It Up" from the later episode "Freak the Freak Out."
- This is the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth time Nathan and Jennette have had an on-screen kiss thus far for iCarly. The first as Sam and Freddie in iKiss, the second as Freddie and Melanie in iTwins. They've also had to kiss twice for iOMG as Sam and Freddie, where Dan revealed they shot the kiss two different ways. Then, the one after that in iLost My Mind and twice in iDate Sam & Freddie and twice for iCan't Take It They kiss 3 times during this episode as well - not counting practice kisses or do-overs. Also it's the eighth, ninth, and tenth kiss for Sam and Freddie.
- If you look closely at the buttons for the elevator, it goes, from top to bottom, "R, 10, 8, G". R probably stands for roof and G for ground.
- Sam mentions Wendy in this episode, a character who hasn't been seen since iFight Shelby Marx. But was mentioned again in iToe Fat Cakes, as she is the person that Carly was about to call.
- The scene when Freddie says "I love you", as Sam was about to leave the elevator, and Sam says "I love you too," parallels the scene in IKiss, when Freddie jokingly says "I hate you" as Sam was about to leave the fire escape, and Sam says "Hate you too."
- The episode title has 8 letters and the official Seddie number is 8.
- Carly sounded like Cat from Victorious when she said "A cup of what?".
- Jerry Trainor has played three different age ranges for the show. First is the baby in IWon't Cancel The Show, a child in this episode, and an adult in all episodes. In this episode, he portrays Spencer acting as if he was ten years old again.
- The part of the scene were Sam and Freddie walk into the Seattle Penitentiary and the audience could clearly see the hams in Freddie's pants was edited out.
- When Freddie says, "Prisoners in my pants!", it could be a reference to when prisoners hid inside Spencer's Gigantic Pants sculpture in the episode iThink They Kissed.
- When Sam and Freddie are in prison, Freddie's jacket is the same one he wore in iSaved Your Life in the school scene.
- This episode is similar to iMove Out, where someone gets treated like a child.
- Jenna Hamilton is also the name of the main protagonist on MTV's hit original series.
- Gibby had a minor role in this episode.
Allusions
- Sam's line "Diff'rent strokes Baby." may be a small reference to the 1980s sitcom Diff'rent Strokes.
- There was a reference to the 1990s sitcom Boy Meets World and its main star Ben Savage when Spencer mentioned he was watching a marathon of the show and pleaded with Jenna that he wanted to watch because of Ben Savage.
- There were references to the 1980s sitcom Full House, one of its main stars Dave Coulier and a popular line from the show "You got it dude!" (One of Michelle's catchphrases) all from Spencer.
Character Revelations
To be added
Goofs
- In the opening scene when Sam walks over to Carly and Freddie with one bite taken out of her soft pretzel. Towards the end of that scene, two bites were taken out the soft pretzel yet Sam hadn't taken another bite out of it.
- Towards the end of the episode, after Sam and Freddie overhear Carly telling Spencer and Jenna they are not having a normal relationship, they (Sam and Freddie) walk up two flights of stairs to the iCarly studio on the 10th floor and get in the elevator. Then the elevator only appears to come down one floor and the doors open, they have a brief conversation about breaking up at midnight, then they go back into the elevator and they resume their elevator ride. There is a problem here, as the floor the elevator stops at is presumably the 9th floor where Carly's bedroom and bathroom are (there was certainly not enough time for the elevator to make it all the way down to the ground floor). However, as noted in "Trivia" above, the elevator only has four buttons - "R, 10, 8, G" - there is no button for the 9th floor.
- The train "facts" that Freddie rattles off at the beginning are completely made up. There's no such thing as a "Trudgemaster", and steam locomotives didn't have model years. The prototype for that model (a Lionel 0-6-0T) is also much older than 1951 (roughly 1900-1910 era).
Running Gags

Series Continuity
- This is the fourth time Freddie got kicked out of a club the first, second, and third times were in iMeet Fred, where he got kicked out of the Matheletes, Ridgeway Jr. Bow & Arrow Club, and another unmentioned school club. In this episode he was kicked out of his Model Train Club, The Training Bros after Sam ruins their model trains.
- This episode is the second time it ends with Freddie and another girl have a mutual break up and share some kind of kiss (cheek or lips).
- This episode marks the second appearance of Fig Nooters. This snack previously appeared in the episode iFind Lewbert's Lost Love.
