iWanna Stay with Spencer Review

iWanna Stay with Spencer:  Episode #5 on YTV
Originally Aired:  September 29, 2007 (5th), Filmed 5th (105)

Synopsis:  On an iCarly webcast Spencer debuts his sculpture Fan of Hammers.  It malfunctions and almost kills Carly.  Their grandfather comes out to visit but then tells Spencer that he is going to take Carly with him because she will be safer.  The iCarlys come up with a plan to make grandpa see Spencer as responsible.  Carly dresses all punk.  But their plan does not go as they would have liked.  Carly is moving to Yakima.  But, just as they are leaving Spencer gives Grandpa a list of Carly's likes and dislikes and all the records he keeps of her medical issues.  This makes Grandpa see him as more responsible and she gets to stay!

Fun Facts:  
First time we meet Grandpa and learn he lives in Yakima.  Grandpa Shay appears in at least 2 more episodes.  iWant a World Record and the one where Spencer puts his bottlebot in the art gallery.
We find out that Carly's dad is in the Navy (which later becomes the Air Force)
Grandpa knows Spencer dropped out of law school but apparently never tells their dad.
Spencer carries Carly out on his shoulder during this fire but in later episodes expects her to put them out or runs out before her.
Lewbert appears again, this time upset with people in the lobby.
Mrs. Benson appears again yelling at Spencer for starting the fire.  She also mentions anti-tick lotion for the first time.  We also learn that Freddie doesn't have leg hair, which he clearly has in season 2.
We learn that Carly had asthma as a child, which may be the reason she has to wear that snore mask in two more episodes later.

Spencer Side Count:  Creates Fan of Hammers, falls down stairs, almost kills Carly with a hammer.  First fire set by Spencer, the stirfry.

Penny Tee Count:  NONE

Review:
This is one of my favourite episodes.  I love the relationship between Spencer and Carly, which we see in iDate a Bad Boy and iGoodbye.  I cry when I think of them being separated.  Jerry Trainor is an amazing actor!
I love how Freddie loses it when Carly is leaving.   "Be strong Freddie"
This one also has what I would call a small goof.  When Sam and Freddie are insulting each other in the studio Freddie looks like he's about to laugh instead of being scared.
There is nothing I dislike about this episode.

Total Score: 5/5 - One of my faves!
