iToe Fat Cakes

The last episode of Season 5 is called iToe Fat Cakes.  At first I thought...Toe???  what?  But it will become clear shortly.

Synopsis:
Sam has been trouble free for 10 days and as her reward she gets a golden ticket to visit the Canadian Fat Cake factory in Vancouver.  We learn that Canadian Fat Cakes are way better than American ones and are illegal in the states.  Spencer, Gibby, Freddie and Sam head to the factory where Sam gets a tour and enjoys eating a Canadian Fat Cake.  On their way back across into the states Sam gets caught trying to smuggle fat cakes in.  THEN when she is let go she doesn't have a passport or any i.d. to get back into the states.  She answers the skill testing question wrong too.  Gibby hides her in his luggage but the luggage gets mixed up and Sam ends up on a plane to Malaysia.



Subplot:  Carly has a hot date with Lance and she takes a bath to prepare.  Watching tv she sees Mary Tyler Moore get her toe stuck in a faucet on the Dick Van Dyke show.  She proceeds to say that's not possible and try it herself, getting her toe stuck in the faucet.  First she tries to get her pear phone to call for help and ends up dropping it in the bathtub.  Then she bangs on the pipes til Mrs. Benson comes to her rescue.  Lance also shows up.  In the end a guy saws the faucet while Carly shares a kiss with Lance.


Mini plot:  Gibby is not happy with being recognized for his iCarly spots and keeps getting asked to have his picture taken.

Awesomeness:
What is more awesome than having CANADA be the home of the awesome fat cake!!!  I love that our fat cakes are illegal, it makes us look bad ass.
Spencer yells about the US government being very strict and not allowing them to eat Canadian fat cakes.
Sam's whole scene in the factory..."Mama's home", "it's like eating a fat angel", beating Gibby down for trying to eat a fat cake, licking it, and eating an entire fat bag!  HA!
Freddie mentioning after the tour guide gets mad:  "an angry Canadian, you don't see that every day."
Then Sam at the boarder when she is caught with the fat cakes replies with a prolonged "WHAAAAT?!"...hilarious.  She calls the boarder guy a wazz bag and she also tells him that she was going to eat the cakes and we all know what would happen after they passed her stomach!
Gibby being irrate about his fame takes a hilarious turn when a little kid rips off his shirt and says "Gibby" and asks Gibby why he doesn't do that much anymore...kids love it!

Carly also was hilarious!  Watching TV she mocks a few fun things, including her own appearance on Drake and Josh which appears on the tv.  I love when she drops her phone in the water and says "well, there's no app for that!".  She also screams that she has a hot date coming in 30 minutes and she's wrinkled like an old raisin.  She made me laugh!!!

Oh and just for fact checking the two photos they show of "Canada" are one of the Vancouver Waterfront and then a random parliament shot from Ottawa.  I know this because the flag outside the building is Ontario's flag.



Also when people cross the border into the states from B.C. to Washington you don't have to walk through to get checked, you can drive your car through.  However, I know for comedy sake there is no way they would have achieved this storyline if they crossed the border like real people do.  You do have to declare stuff...but they don't make you walk through.

I have NOTHING i'd fix...the show was a 5 out of 5!!!  One of my faves and the hot guy was actually HOT!  yeah!!!

PS:  Jennette says fat cakes taste dry and are not that great.  But as an actress she sells them well!
