## Season synopsis

Starting from this season onwards, Gibby begins to hang out more often with Carly, Sam and Freddie than in the past three seasons.
In November of this season, the iCarly crew accidentally starts a fan war at WebiCon over who should date, Carly and Freddie (Creddie), or Sam and Freddie (Seddie). Despite the three confirming that none of them are dating, the fan war still seemingly remains unresolved. However, five months later, the three complete their two-month search for an intern for iCarly, at which point Sam — much to Carly's and Freddie's confusion and suspiciousness — begins hanging out with Freddie and Brad, the new intern, every time she gets the chance to. When Freddie tests his selfmade "MoodFace" app on Sam, it confirms that she is actually in love. Thinking that Sam still hates Freddie, he and Carly misunderstand the results, believing that Sam is in love with Brad, and Carly takes great steps into proving this. Sam still tries to convince her that she is not in love with him though. Freddie later finds Sam in the school yard and gives her a heart-to-heart talk about opening up and taking a risk when it comes to romantic feelings, not realizing that he is actually referring to himself. In the middle of the talk, Sam grabs Freddie and kisses him passionately, revealing that in fact he is the one she is in love with, as a shocked Carly watches through the window.

| Carly is in a brand new relationship with a boy named Steven. Sam goes online to TheSlap.com and sees Steven with another girl by the name of Tori Vega and tries to inform Carly that Steven is cheating on her, but Carly refuses to believe her unless she has proof, saying "everyone is innocent until proven cheaty". The group, including Gibby, decide to drive down to Los Angeles and crash a party at Kenan Thompson's house that Andre, one of Tori's friends, is holding, via a public invite posted by Rex, the puppet of Robbie, another one of Tori's friends, to find out if Steven is really cheating on Carly. But before they arrive at the party, they get professional disguises for the party in case anyone recognizes the iCarly gang (which would cause major distractions). They stop at the house of Moni, who was Spencer's past girlfriend and is also a celebrity makeup artist. Moni, though still angry at Spencer for backing a car over her, transforms them into different looking people. When many people show up to the party and begin to party recklessly thanks to Rex's post, Andre tries to get some people to calm down and/or leave, as he thought there were only supposed to be a few people at this party, though failing, while getting chased by a mysterious man in a panda suit. Kenan arrives and is surprisingly cool with the party, claiming that there are not enough people at the party. However, he is annoyed at the panda, who has stalked him for years, and agrees to help Andre chase him off his property. Carly catches Steven with Tori, and she sees him giving Tori the same exact charm bracelet that he gave her and telling her, "it's one of a kind, just like you", which he also had told Carly at the beginning of the episode. Tori then tells Steven that she loves him and Steven says "I love you too" making Carly devastated. Tori finds Carly and her friends at the party, now in their normal looks, where Carly reveals that Steven is cheating with both of them. Carly and Tori, together with Sam, Freddie and Kenan, come together with a plan to expose Steven's bad nature live on iCarly in front of a million people in a small closet where Tori and Steven originally planned to have their 100-day kiss. Steven angrily leaves the closet while the iCarly gang party inside. The whole time this is happening, other events occur, including Spencer with Jade and Beck, friends of Tori, and one of Tori's teachers, Mr. Sikowitz, having an awkward encounter in a hot tub, Trina, Tori's sister, having trouble babysitting two younger children for a friend while attending the party, and Rex having a freestyle rap battle with random people in the audience, though eventually getting beaten by Sam. The episode then closes with the casts of the two shows singing a mashup of their theme songs, "Leave It All to Shine". ||||||||
