iWanna Stay With Spencer is the fifth episode of the first season of iCarly.
Plot
During an iCarly webcast, Spencer shows his newest sculpture, the "Fan Of Hammers!". It malfunctions and a hammer gets loose, almost hitting Carly in the head.
Later, Granddad Shay comes to visit. After sending Carly, Sam and Freddie away to get smoothies, he tells Spencer that he wants Carly to live with him in Yakima because he thinks Spencer is too immature and irresponsible to take care of Carly.
Carly and Spencer try to change Granddad´s mind, but fail. Carly then dresses up as a punk to make Spencer mad so Granddad would be convinced that Spencer is in fact responsible enough to take care of her, but Spencer believes she goes through a rebellious phase and doesn´t say anything against it. After the food he is cooking bursts into flames, Spencer agrees that Carly should live with Granddad.
When Carly and Granddad are about to leave later, Spencer notices that Carly forgot her asthma inhaler and quickly runs to the lobby to give it to her before she leaves. Granddad, who didn´t know Carly had asthma, is impressed that Spencer kept it "just in case", although Carly hadn´t had an asthma attack since she was seven, and allows Carly to keep living with Spencer.
Trivia
- The hammer that almost hits Carly becomes a permanent part of the studio decoration. After everything returns back to normal in iChristmas, Carly happily says "Hello, hammer that almost killed me!"
- Carly´s allergies or the fact that she has to take vitamins every day are never mentioned again, so they apparently don´t affect her life very much.
- Granddad mentions he will be staying at the "Parker-Nichols Hotel." A reference to "Megan´s"(Miranda Cosgrove) brothers Drake Parker and Josh Nichols in "Drake & Josh" because in one episode their parents were out of town and thyeturned the house into a hotel .
- The broom fire scene was cut from the UK airings because it would cause a fire hazard but was kept in the title sequence.
- Yakima is mentioned again in iWas a Pageant Girl, when it turns out one of the pageant contestants was from Yakima.

Granddad: She has allergies?
Spencer: Yes. These are Carly's favorite foods, drinks, soups and chowders...
Granddad: Aren't soups and chowders the same thing?
