Episode Title: “iLike the New Guy” (intro)

INT. RIDGEWAY HIGH – HALLWAY – DAY

The camera pans across the usual chaos of Ridgeway: a kid trying to fit himself into a locker, a teacher walking by holding a live possum, and then—BOOM—we land on ROBERT ROBINSON walking with a confident-but-curious swagger, holding a well-worn backpack and looking slightly bewildered by the sheer weirdness around him.

ROBERT
(to himself)
Okay, so either this school is cursed… or I died on the bus and this is teenage purgatory.

He glances over just in time to see FREDDIE walk face-first into a door while staring at his PearPhone.

FREDDIE
Ow! …That’s not how auto-lock works…

CARLY and SAM approach, both instantly intrigued by the new kid.

CARLY
Hey, you’re new! I’m Carly. This is Sam. That’s Freddie—he’s harmless unless he’s holding a camera or gets electrocuted.

SAM
You look like someone who eats pizza with a fork. Do you?

ROBERT
Only when I want to feel fancy. Or avoid grease on my D&D character sheets.

SAM
Nerd alert! I like it.

CARLY
So what brings you to Ridgeway? And do you have any weird talents? That’s kind of a requirement around here.

ROBERT
I can recite every line from Ghost and Mr. Chicken and make a grilled cheese using only a clothes iron and a motivational speech.

FREDDIE (rubbing his nose)
That… might actually be the most iCarly thing I’ve ever heard.

CARLY
Wanna be on the show?

ROBERT
That depends. Does it involve pies to the face, getting trapped in a giant hamster ball, or dressing like a British grandma?

SAM
Yes, no, and only on Thursdays.

Cue the bell ringing. SAM slings her arm around ROBERT’s shoulders as they start walking.

SAM
Come on, New Guy. Let’s get you initiated. First stop: the janitor’s closet. Second stop: lunch. Third stop: jail.

ROBERT
That escalated quickly.

CARLY
Welcome to Ridgeway!

Episode Title: iControl Myself

INT. SHAY APARTMENT – DAY The gang is hanging out post-webcast. Carly is scrolling through fan comments, Robert is eating cereal with orange juice for some reason, and Sam is using a hair straightener to toast a Pop-Tart. CARLY Hey, people are loving the last webcast. Especially Freddie’s new camera rig—wait, someone just called it "cinematic genius"? SAM Cinematic genius? From Freddie ? The guy who once put a filter on a grilled cheese sandwich? FREDDIE (bursting through the door, wearing sunglasses and holding a shiny new touchscreen controller) Oh, I’m just getting started. ROBERT You look like a YouTuber who just bought a drone and thinks he's better than Spielberg . FREDDIE This new tech lets me control everything from one interface. Cameras, lighting, audio levels… mood settings. It even tracks facial reactions and suggests punch-ins. It’s called the MegaRig Ultra+ , and it’s going to elevate iCarly. MONTAGE: FREDDIE GOES OVERBOARD Freddie obsessive...

Episode Title: iLove You, But I Also Want the Phone

INT. PEAR PHONE STORE – OUTSIDE – VALENTINE’S DAY – 5:58 P.M. A long line of people snakes down the sidewalk outside the Seattle Pear Store. The building is lit up like Times Square and has a massive inflatable Pear Phone bouncing on the roof. A big sign reads: “ PEAR PHONE 13 – MIDNIGHT RELEASE – VALENTINE’S DAY EXCLUSIVE DROP! ” Cue the iCarly gang—CARLY, SAM, ROBERT, FREDDIE, GIBBY, and SPENCER—standing near the middle of the line with folding chairs, thermoses, snacks, and utter chaos. CARLY (rolling out her sleeping bag) Okay. We’ve got food, games, power banks, and a prime spot in line. This is gonna be the least romantic Valentine’s Day ever —but I’m here for it. FREDDIE (setting up a tripod) And we’re vlogging the whole thing. “FreddieCam: 12 Hours in Line for the Pear Phone 13” is gonna get so many clicks. ROBERT (fiddling with a mini camping stove) Is it weird that I brought a tiny fondue set for me and Sam? I thought it’d be romantic. SAM (snatching a marshmall...

Episode Title: iStranger Stuff

INT. SHAY APARTMENT – NIGHT – HALLOWEEN SPECIAL Darkness. A red glow pulses under the apartment door. Thunder rumbles. The gang sits in a circle on the floor, flashlights under their chins. CARLY Tonight’s webcast is iStranger Stuff —our homage to '80s horror, dimension-hopping drama, and weird kids on bikes. SAM I’m playing Twelve . One better than Eleven. Stronger. Meaner. Hates waffles. Likes bacon jerky . FREDDIE I’m the nerdy one with too many walkie-talkies and unresolved trust issues. ROBERT (holding a blinking LED Christmas light string) I’m the guy who talks to the Upside Down through mood lighting . GIBBY (dressed in an old Ghostbusters jumpsuit) I’m the guy who disappears first, but mostly because I wander off to look for pudding. INT. SCHOOL GYM (AKA THE KITCHEN) – NIGHT Robert strings up blinking lights and stares at the wall. ROBERT (whispers) If you’re in there, blink twice. And tell me what you did with my limited-edition action figure. A string o...
