Originally Aired:  May 9, 2009 (18th and 19th), Filmed 17th and 25th (217 and 225)

Synopsis:  In the first half Spencer mentors a young thief named Griffin.  Carly can't stand him but then one night she ends up kissing him and they try to date but Spencer does NOT approve!  Carly and Griffin sneak around and date until finally Spencer says it's okay.  In the second half Carly finds out that her bad boy is into PeeWee Babies and keeps a collection.  This lessens how she feels about him and they end up breaking up.
Meanwhile in the first half Sam gets Freddie to make her a website which she cons him out of money on.  AND in the second half Spencer helps Sam get over a bad dream.

Fun Facts:  
Sam shows the video "Neck Infection" which grosses out everyone!
The actor who plays Griffin is now in a series called Falling Skies.
Griffin lives in 4G.
This episode aired as an hour long show but was originally two different 1/2 hours.  If you notice the story lines are completely separate and change drastically at the 1/2 hour mark.
Wendy returns, she was in iFight Shelby Marx last.
T-Bo appears and doesn't know Spencer yet.  He is pushing bagels again.
Carly admits that she is almost 15.
Spencer admits he started kissing girls at 11.
Griffin goes to Bolton High School.
"Shoosh yeah" is used again, this time by Spencer.
Sam is wearing her Care Bear necklace again.
Sam's mom was dating a lawyer in this episode.
Lewbert is seen sleeping under a newspaper but it was most likely NOT the real actor for Lewbert as his face is not seen.
Griffin is the first one to say "Late" instead of later...repeated in the 6th season a LOT.
Gibby is seen in the end credits for the first time.
The Sham Pow is a parody of the Sham Wow.
Sam's dream is where a monster eats her soup.  She says she always has it.
Sam's mom also dated a psychologist.
Most parents don't allow their 15/16 year old children to go up alone to their bedroom with a girl.
Pee Wee Babies are a parody of Beanie Babies which were very popular int he 90s.
Griffin has 223 Pee Wee Babies in his closet and many on a shelf.
Peter Penguin appears again with Griffin in iBeat the Heat.
Sam and Carly play Rock Band, which the cast has in their green room.  This is shown when Nathan Kress posts a video where he tries to get Jennette to sing in rock band.  Nathan's rock band character is named Nick E Lodeon.
Freddie raises his hands in victory when he hears that Griffin collects Pee Wee Babies, he does this again when Carly kisses him in iGoodbye.
The flag on Griffin's shirt is Germany.
Sam calls Carly, Carls, Carlotta in this episode, some people think Carly's full name is Carlotta, but it's NOT.  It's just Sam playing with her name like she does to Freddie.
Freddie orders the pizza for 321 East Argyle which is Mrs. Briggs address.
When the Pee Wee Babies dance around Carly's head they are voiced by Dan Schneider.
When the episode is aired in two 30 min chunks by YTV the part with Griffin topless is cut out!  Which is a tragedy.  Also Spencer's use of the Sham-Pow on other things is cut out.

Spencer Side Count:  Makes a sculpture with Griffin, a cube of tin that is sledgehammered.  Stalks Carly as a janitor.  Obsessed with the Sham-POW!

Penny Tee Count:  Noodle Booty - worn by Sam and Vanilla Me Bad - worn by Carly.

Review: This is by FAR one of my faves!  I love the first half most!  Spencer's intense reaction to Carly kissing Griffin is the best part in the entire show.  When he says "let's recap" I love it!  I love how he grounds her and doesn't want to talk about his run to the pharmacy for her.  So awesome!
"You will call no one...ever!!!" - Spencer
"And I don't kiss like...bla lala...I kiss like a princess!"  Carly
"You are grounded...for...til college" - Spencer
"For til COLLEGE?!"  - Carly

"You know I'm not a baby anymore, two weeks ago I sent you to the drugstore to get..." - Carly
"I don't want to talk about it, you swore we'd never talk about it!" - Spencer

"Be-Smooched!"

In the second half I like Freddie's attempt to be a bad boy and his on going jealous reactions to Griffin.  Love Spencer and the Sham Pow!

Total Score: 5/5 for the first part!!!
