ICarly: iSaved Your Life

"iSaved Your Life" is a special episode of the Nickelodeon television series iCarly. It premiered on January 18, 2010. It was originally supposed to be a movie, but according to Dan Schneider, required cuts narrowed it down to a 30-minute special. It was the first episode that was broadcast on a Monday, though it remained at the same timeslot. It was broadcast on a Monday because that Monday happened to be on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It was followed by the world premiere of Big Time Rush with the series opener "Big Time School of Rocque". iSaved Your Life became Nickelodeon's highest rated and most watched live action telecast ever, drawing 11.2 million viewers on its premiere night. On Friday, February 12, the uncut, extended version (with over 7 minutes of extra footage) aired. It is a TV movie.
Plot
Carly, Sam, and Freddie film a dare out in downtown Seattle, where Carly has to dress in a bunny suit and offer to brush people's teeth for $1. Carly crosses the street while not noticing a taco truck heading for her. Freddie sees the truck and pushes Carly out of the way, but the truck hits him instead. Freddie winds up with a broken hand and leg, and a few cuts. Carly is very grateful for what Freddie did, and, upon her second time visiting him at home after the accident, she starts to kiss him. Freddie's mom walks in on them kissing, and kicks Carly out of the apartment, by beating her with a pair of Freddie's underpants until she leaves.
While at school, some of the students believe Carly and Freddie are now dating. However, Sam tells Freddie that Carly only loves him for what he did. She compares it to a guy who had a crush on her, giving her a subscription to the Bacons of the World Club, and Sam thinking she was in love with him. At the iCarly studio, Freddie and Carly kiss, before Freddie tells Carly what Sam told him, and after a discussion they agree to wait until Freddie is out of the leg cast and Carly is over the "hero thing" to date if Carly still loves him. Carly finally gives him a kiss on the cheek, and Freddie leaves. In the elevator, he asks himself, "What did I do?"In the extended edition, he screams that.
Meanwhile, Sam and Spencer are playing assassins using small blowtube paintball guns as weapons. Carly and Freddie are already out before the start of the episode. In the end, Sam wins the paintball war against Spencer by sending a delivery man to help set it up. She wins after the delivery man hits Spencer with a giant lollipop (which the man calls a "sucker") and Sam swings from above the door to shoot the final paintball.
