"She kissed you, and she's not even your mom! Impressive."
Jeremy to Freddie.

iWill Date Freddie is the 9th episode of the first season of iCarly.

Plot

iCarly introduces a new feature—called the Blab Cam—where viewers can chat with Sam and Carly on the air. One of the first callers is a fellow Ridgeway Bulldog, named Valerie, who seems more interested in Freddie than Sam or Carly, so that the girls suggest the two should go on a date.

Mrs. Benson seems very excited with the fact that Freddie was having a first date and stated that she would love to have them over to her apartment and look at Freddie's baby pictures. However, Carly convinces Freddie's mother so that the date was set up at the Shay Apartment (which it was). Mrs Benson gets Freddie ready but in a rather dorky way and Sam and Carly get the back-up clothes and get Freddie ready for his date. Sam sets up cameras and both girls spy on Freddie's date. Freddie and Valerie have a good first date and become inseparable for the next week. Valerie then asks him to help her do a webshow on the same day as iCarly, causing Freddie to quit the show. He hires Jeremy as iCarly's new tech producer, but Jeremy messes up the show with his constant sneezing, and ends up sneezing a piece of tissue he stuffed in his nose at Sam's face.

After the disastrous iCarly episode, Valerie admits to Sam that she was just trying to ruin iCarly and establish her own show as the best show on the web. She then offers Sam a place as her co-host. She said that she would call the web-show 'Val and Sam' or 'Sam and Val if she wanted to. Sam fakes interest, but immediately tells Carly about it, and they both give the news to Freddie. At first, he doesn't believe them, but when he confronts Valerie about it, she admits it. Freddie breaks up with her. HW returns in time for the iCarly webcast but unfortunately says that he didn't say he was coming back. Surprised, the girls ask why and Freddie says that they don't treat him like he is important to the show however, Carly does and Sam doesn't. After Sam tells him he is important to iCarly, he returns as iCarly's tech producer.

Without Freddie's help, Valerie fails miserably with her show, The Valerie Show. They end up eating watermelon with a spoon.

Trivia

  • On the DVD, Season 1, Volume 1, Disc 2, this episode is called "iWant to Date Freddie," hence this is probably the correct title, not "iWill Date Freddie".
  • This is the first episode that Sam admits Freddie is just as important to the show as she and Carly are.
    Robyn's Weiner-Dog-Pig
  • This is the first time that Sam and Freddie hug.
  • This episode has the "Robin Weiner" reference in the webcast scene where Sam says, "We'd like to thank our friend Robin for letting us borrow her weiner dog."
  • This is the first episode to feature the Spaghetti Tacos. They would later become a running gag throughout the series.
  • It was during the filming of this episode that Drake Bell (Miranda Cosgrove's former Drake & Josh costar) visited the set. He walked onto the kitchen set and said, "Hey, Megan." (addressing Miranda by the name of her "Drake & Josh" character), and asked, "Where's Josh? Where's Mom and Dad?" A clip of this was included in iBloop.
  • This is the episode in which Sam finds out about Socko.
  • Freddie's mom seemed to want Carly to love Freddie, but in iSaved Your Life, she seemed disgusted that they were kissing. She also seems to like Carly (or at least not have a grudge against her) unlike in many other episodes.
  • This is the first episode focusing on Freddie.
  • In iKiss, Freddie said his kiss with Valerie didn't count, although when Carly asked if he had kissed Valerie in this episode, Freddie replied "a little".
  • The word "skunk-bag" as used in this episode is a euphemism for scumbag (a contemptible lowlife), the origin of which has vulgar connotations.

Goofs

  • Jeremy ("Germy") is using a small hand-held camera with a lens that is only two or three cm wide, yet when he is wiping his spittle off it we see his whole hand and part of his arm, indicating that he is wiping spittle off a sheet of glass, not the actual camera lens.
  • When Valerie's TV monitor falls it has no power cord attached, so it couldn't actually work.
  • When the monitor fell on Valerie, she said she was okay. In reality, she would have been extremely hurt.
