85	1	"iApril Fools"	Jerry Trainor	Dan Schneider & George Doty IV	March 24, 2012 (2012-03-24)	503	3.4
Carly and Spencer are about to leave their apartment on April Fool's Day because they are evicted by Mr. Bushwell after Spencer forgot to pay their rent after they moved in, and Carly accidentally stabbed him. Sam, Freddie, and Gibby arrive and Carly says that they all had good times in this apartment and remembers one time when they were all sitting on the couch watching on TV an episode where the characters were doing flashbacks from past episodes (fake footage of past episodes). By the end of the episode, Mr. Bushwell comes with Lewbert to tell them to leave the building. Then, Sam asks them to remember the time where they came there and changed their minds about Carly and Spencer leaving, which turns out to be a replay of the scene with Lewbert and Bushwell entering the door. Then, Bushwell lets Carly stay and Spencer (dressed up as Doc Brown from the Back to the Future films) appears and says he knows the future regarding a "future episode of iCarly" about their kids (Freddie and Carly's or Freddie and Sam's). Then, T-Bo appears inside a tiny flying bubble and transports them all in it. Guest stars: Matt Bennett as Robbie Shapiro, Mindy Sterling as Mrs. Briggs, Jeremy Rowley as Lewbert, BooG!e as T-Bo, Peter Chen as Mico, Jeff Lewis as Mr. Bushwell Note: This episode featured a different opening sequence for April Fools, featuring effect sequences and clips from the Season 1 opening.

After returning from vacation, Carly falls ill with "Jungle Worms", but feels better after two days, although she is still contagious. Later, Freddie tells Sam, Carly and Gibby that he has received an e-mail from the manager of boyband One Direction (whom Gibby appears to be a massive fan of), saying that they are in the Seattle area and would like to perform a song on iCarly. When they arrive, One Direction perform "What Makes You Beautiful" in the iCarly studio. (Afterwards, Sam takes a liking to Zayn Malik while Gibby tells Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson that he gives good foot massages). After Harry Styles drinks from Carly's water bottle, he gets Jungle Worms from Carly and then she takes care of Harry and he is still in bed after a week, much longer than Carly was sick for, making Sam believe that Harry is not actually sick any more and just wants the attention. Liam Payne announces that the boys will have to cancel their shows in San Francisco if Harry is not better soon, so Liam, Zayn, Niall, and Louis discuss with Carly, Sam, and Freddie what to do to try to get Harry out of bed. Freddie says that Harry might feel better if he thought that he was being kicked out of One Direction and being replaced by Gibby, and when he sees Gibby performing with Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn, Harry is shocked by how bad Gibby is at singing and dancing and says that he is feeling better, meaning that he was faking. The episode ends with One Direction performing "What Makes You Beautiful" on iCarly. After the song, Sam grabs Zayn by the neck and drags him into the elevator. Special guest stars: One Direction as themselves. Guest stars: BooG!e as T-Bo, Kristi Clainos as Justine, Chloe Csengery as Bethany Songs featured: "What Makes You Beautiful" Note: The opening sequence has been modified in this episode to showcase more footage of the upcoming episodes this season.

After their computer monitor and TV (which was found in the dumpster behind El Taco Guapo and was stolen by a man sleeping next to it) are stolen, Spencer starts developing a security robot. At first, he builds one that blinds intruders, but takes it apart after it accidentally blinds Carly. He then makes one that shoots corn at intruders, but it malfunctions and accidentally attacks Carly, Freddie, and Spencer. They try to have it focus on Mrs. Benson and unplug it, but Spencer is not able to pull the plug out of the outlet before the machine runs out of corn, so Mrs. Benson is heavily pelted with corn. Elsewhere, Sam and Gibby open a secret restaurant named Gibby's in the basement at school. Bully Billy Boots harasses and annoys Gibby. Sam tries to intervene by sending Gibby to go on a walk and trying to talk to Billy, but when Gibby returns later, Billy attacks him and Sam beats up Billy with a Butter sock. The next day, Billy tells Mr. Howard about the restaurant in hopes it gets shut down.

Because of this, they angrily split up to find out who the purple robot is. Freddie successfully finds Nevel in the iCarly studio. He calls Carly and informs her it was Nevel, but Nevel's hench-man Ivan and Dimitri force Freddie into the robot costume. Nevel silences him and magnetically seals on the head so Freddie cannot take off the costume. Meanwhile, Sam and Carly get their real voices back, and Freddie probably does too. After Freddie is sent downstairs, he is caught by Gibby and Spencer. Still silenced Freddie is unable to tell his friends that it is him in the costume not Nevel. Subsequently, he is suspended and lowered twenty times in Spencer's new game, Jerk Basket, everyone thinking that it is Nevel being punished. After Carly and Sam feel they have their revenge, they realize Nevel was right behind them, happily watching Freddie get jerked. Nevel unlocks Freddie's robot head and they find an angry Freddie.

To apologize, Spencer brings burnt fudge nut brownies to the fire department, but they make him volunteer at the fire station, where he accidentally starts a fire in the kitchen. After this, the fire department refuse to respond to Carly and Spencer's fires for good. At the Pear Store, Freddie is still getting dumb customers, and Sam has been promoted to assistant manager.

Part 2
91	7	"iShock America"	Steve Hoefer	Dan Schneider	October 6, 2012 (2012-10-06)	510–511	3.6
Jimmy Fallon invites the gang to New York to appear on his show after Carly dedicates a webshow to him parodying his skits in response to Jimmy complementing iCarly on his show. Gibby buys pants which caused a few problems during the show. While the gang starts dancing, Gibby's pants fall down, causing indecent exposure on camera, as he is not wearing any undergarments at the time. This incident prompts the NCC to show up. People blame Fallon for the incident by saying he deliberately wanted Gibby's pants to fall. Carly and her friends do an episode of iCarly saying it was their fault and not Fallon's. The NCC forces them to pay $500,000 or they will shut down iCarly, so Fallon blogs asking America for their spare change to help the iCarly gang get the money. At the end of the episode, Fallon invites the gang back on the show and shows them a big pile of money, totaling $576,094, which is more than enough to pay the fine. Special guest stars: Jimmy Fallon, Steve Higgins, The Roots and Jeff Musial as themselves. Special appearance by: Tina Fey as herself. Guest stars: BooG!e as T-Bo and Mary Scheer as Mrs. Benson. Notes: This is a special one-hour episode. The scene where the gang are in the diner in New York City is a spoof and a replica set of the sitcom Seinfeld. The NCC is a spoof of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), although in Season 2 Episode 11, iGive Away a Car, the parody is named LCC. This episode is the second time in the series that iCarly face charges. In other countries, like Norway, this episode is called "iShock The World" or translates into it.

Later, T-Bo explains that he needs relief from stressful living in the Benson apartment every now and then and makes a bet with Carly - if she can handle living at the Benson apartment for at least one night, he will not come to the loft without asking and she can go back to the Groovy Smoothie. Soon, Carly has an over-healthy dinner and gets sprayed by a tick-gaser, and then Mrs. Benson holds a fire drill for everyone in the middle of the night and says that they will do another one soon. Carly then concedes to T-Bo and lets him come over whenever he wants. In exchange, T-Bo lets Carly come back to the Groovy Smoothie.

Carly awaits her father's arrival in Seattle to escort her to the Father-Daughter Air Force Dance, but she gets a message saying he is unable to come. To comfort Carly, Spencer asks to take Carly to the dance, and she accepts. Shortly before the dance, Spencer becomes sick after Lewbert sneezes on him and is unable to escort Carly. Carly is very upset because she's been unable to attend the last four years due to her father's overseas posting, and this is the last year she is eligible to attend. Sam convinces Freddie and Gibby to take Spencer's place, but this just upsets Carly more. Surprisingly, Colonel Shay arrives and escorts Carly to the dance after all. After the dance, Colonel Shay informs everyone that he has to return to his base in Italy, and invites Carly to move with him. Despite Carly's initial reluctance, Carly receives supportive encouragement from everyone and accepts the offer.

Carly and Freddie are alone in the studio and kiss for the last time before she departs and Sam gives Carly the remote from the webshow as a keepsake of their friendship. Elsewhere, Sam and Spencer work together to fix a motorcycle for Socko, but Sam gets to keep it after he no longer needs it, Freddie gets a phone that is twice the size of a regular phone constantly getting teased by everyone for it, and Gibby gets his head stuck in a machine when he gets a new head to make up for the one he lost in Las Vegas. The episode and series concludes with Carly, Sam, Freddie, Spencer, and Gibby all reflecting on the many ups and downs they have shared over the years while Carly watches archived highlights of various iCarly webshows before the plane takes off.

It is the third hour-long episode to be produced as two episodes (the 99th and 100th) but broadcast as a single episode. It is the only episode in which Carly and Spencer's father appears. References to the series pilot, "iPilot", include Carly and Sam making fun of Ms. Briggs' "pointy boobs"; a flashback to Carly, Sam, and Freddie brainstorming ideas for their first webcast; and an appearance by Spencer's video camera squirrel sculpture, the last one to catch fire on the show. Before Carly logs into iCarly.com on the airplane, the screen shows Dan Schneider's Twitter page and you can see his tweets. Freddie's phone "Samsun" is a parody of "Samsung". Continuity: Events in this episode are mentioned by Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) in the first episode of the Nickelodeon show Sam & Cat, also produced by Dan Schneider.
