Meanwhile, Spencer hires an incompetent repairman dancer to fix the elevator because he thinks it'll take longer. Shane eventually finds out about the girls' endeavors to pursue him, and angrily tries to leave the Shays' apartment.

Spencer finds an old video game cabinet in the junkyard called Pak-Rat (a parody of Pac-Man), and spends all his time playing it, while procrastinating on a commissioned Labradoodle sculpture for a doctor who is a highly-respected figure in the Seattle art community. His obsession of beating the score of Sasha Striker (Lorena York), the Pak-Rat world champion who disappeared for years shortly after winning, causes him to miss the deadline for his sculpture, which he manages to delay for another week. To curb his addiction, Carly, Sam and Freddie, with the help of iCarly viewers, bring Sasha Striker to compete against Spencer to defend her title. After Spencer defeats Striker in a televised match on the Video Game Network channel full of nerds who barge into the apartment, Spencer declines Striker's offer of a midnight ride in favor of finishing his sculpture for the doctor in less than nine hours with the help of Carly, Sam and Freddie; which the doctor then approves. Meanwhile, Freddie experiences a streak of "bad luck" after deleting and not forwarding a chain email, passing it off as a superstition. His bad luck experiences consist of his laptop shorting out, his bike falling apart and his shorts mysteriously turning pink. In the end he realizes the bad luck has just been a prank by Sam, so he gets her back by sending her a text message that looks like it came from a popular senior boy, asking her to go to the mall on a date.

When Sam finds that this is true, she makes a broadcast on iCarly encouraging all their fans to donate money to her. However, Principal Franklin informs Carly and Sam that it is illegal to solicit money to kids over the internet, so Sam grudgingly gets a job at the Chilli My Bowl restaurant to earn the money and pay them back. Elsewhere, Spencer tries to impress an attractive single mom by helping her daughter sell fudge balls (similar to Girl Scout cookies), but two rude older teen scouts steal Spencer's place at the market. Spencer comes up with the idea to send fudge balls to every iCarly fan who sent them money as he mentions in a law book it is not illegal to solicit money from kids if they provide a product or service in return.

It is not as easy as it looks, until Freddie's mother (Mary Scheer) takes over. Carly and Sam warn Freddie that his mom is in love with Lewbert, and, much to Freddie's dismay, he finds that this is true. They devise a plan to break up their romantic relationship by having Freddie fake an injury so Mrs. Benson would pay attention to her "injured" son rather than her relationship with Lewbert. Meanwhile, a pesky, disobedient young boy named Chuck (Ryan Ochoa) plays racquetball in the lobby and Spencer gets Chuck's father to ground him for 2 days. Spencer is, in the meantime, filling in for Lewbert as the doorman. During his shifts, while using an old CB Radio, he upsets two truckers named Porkchop and Sledgehammer. Chuck, looking for revenge, gives the truckers his location through the radio while Spencer leaves his desk, and the truckers arrive just as Lewbert takes his job back.

In the first iCarly movie, the trio learn they have been nominated for an iWeb award and win tickets to attend the award ceremony in Japan. Spencer then trades the three first-class tickets for 5 coach tickets when Mrs. Benson refuses to let Freddie go without her. The five later parachute into Japan out of an unsanitary possum-filled cargo plane after the pilot literally makes them fly "over" Japan. A police officer takes them to their hotel after they land in a barren field. At the hotel, they are visited by Kyoko and Yuki, fellow competitors for the same award. Kyoko and Yuki give Spencer and Mrs. Benson tickets to the hotel spa to get seaweed massages by their cousins, while they take Carly, Sam and Freddie shopping. After confessing they are lost, Kyoko and Yuki pretend to get angry at each other and stage a kung fu fight on the sidewalk. They then strand the trio in the middle of nowhere after giving a phony excuse to leave, while Spencer breaks himself and Mrs. Benson free from being wrapped in seaweed after being abandoned by the cousins. Using a locator chip implanted in Freddie's head, Mrs. Benson and Spencer take a taxi to find the lost trio. They reunite and make it to the ceremony but are apprehended by security. Freddie wires his video camera into the main screen while Carly and Sam try to explain to the security officers what happened by acting, since the guards cannot speak English and the girls cannot speak Japanese. Since Freddie hooked up the camera to the big screen, the audience can see their silly acting. Thanks to Freddie, iCarly wins the award show due to their performance. Kyoko and Yuki are arrested for kidnapping, and the iCarly gang return to America on a fishing boat, having refused to go back on the cargo plane. Special guest stars: Good Charlotte as Themselves, Ally Maki as Kyoko, and Harry Shum Jr. as Yuki

She agrees to give them the recipe if she can go on a date with Spencer, but she creeps him out and upsets him. Trudy then feels bad and confesses that she never actually owned the recipe, claiming that her grandfather "kept them in his computer" and she could never find them. Carly, Sam, and Freddie hatch a plan to find the recipe in Mr. Galini's computer at the pie shop during the memorial service. Fortunately, when Sam and Freddie were fighting in Mr. Galini's office, they accidentally knock his computer over, finding the recipes in envelopes literally stuffed inside the hard drive. Trudy, alongside Mr. Galini's assistant, Mario, re-open the pie shop. Meanwhile, Mrs. Benson's cousin is going to a comic book festival in New Jersey while her baby daughter Stephanie visits for a few days, making Freddie uneasy because the baby always has a blank expression when she sees Freddie, and he believes she does not like him because he is not funny. Freddie tries finding a way to succeed in making his cousin laugh. In the end, he makes her laugh by splatting himself in the face with a pie.

This results in Spencer being a calm and mature lawyer, the iCarly webshow no longer existing (the iCarly studio now just a room filled with boxes), Sam being absent from school, Freddie dating a rude girl after giving up on pursuing Carly because Nevel Papperman (Reed Alexander) somehow became Carly's boyfriend, which caused her and Freddie to drift apart. Carly questions Mitch about Sam's disappearance, and Carly is taken to the Juvenile Detention Center, where Sam is being held. Carly finds out that the reason Sam was arrested is because Spencer saw her as a bad influence and did not want Carly to be friends with her, so Sam got into more trouble without Carly to hold her back. Carly returns home and to find that Mrs. Benson and Spencer are now engaged, making Carly angry at what her life has become. After saying very sadly that she wants Sam and Freddie to be her friends again and Spencer to be abnormal and eccentric again, Carly then cries and wishes that her world was back to the way it was before, which Mitch secretly grants.

After watching martial-arts champ Shelby Marx (Victoria Justice) win another MMA match on TV, Carly jokingly challenges Shelby to a match while on the webcast. However, someone then edits the joke challenge to make it look and sound serious, which Shelby sees and surprises a frightened Carly by wanting to fight her. However, as Shelby promises not to hurt her, they agree to have an exhibition fight for charity. Unfortunately, Carly accidentally falls on Shelby's sickly grandmother during a press conference after Sam teaches her how to "trash talk", causing Shelby to get angry. Fearing that Shelby will hurt her Carly withdraws the fight only to be ridiculed as a coward by her friends, teachers, and Nevel. Carly visits Shelby and apologizes, and the fight is back on, with Shelby again promising to go easy on her. Nevel later alters a clip of the press conference to make it look like Carly intentionally tackled Shelby's grandma to dupe Shelby into fighting Carly. Shelby, furious, legitimately attacks Carly during the match. Carly clings onto Shelby's leg for the rest of the fight to avoid being hit. Nevel's plot is revealed and as punishment, he is trapped in a cage with an angry Shelby, Carly, and Sam. Shelby later appears on iCarly, now firm friends with the gang. Elsewhere, Spencer suffers from ridiculous side effects while taking an experimental allergy medication given to him by a doctor. The effects include sweating, itching, uncontrollable thirst, short-term memory loss, and muscle spasms. Special guest star: Victoria Justice as Shelby Marx Note: Victoria Justice later returned to "iCarly" as Tori Vega from Victorious in the crossover episode iParty with Victorious .
