Plot[]
Plot: When Robbie's friend Beck Oliver (from Victorious) shows up and meets Freddie, they hit it off and become fast friends. Beck reveals he won some tuna fish and doesn't know what to do with it. Freddie gives him an idea to do a tuna jump. Robbie asks who's going to jump and Freddie said he'll do it. Beck agrees and he and Freddie go get lunch. Robbie and his grandma arrive at Bots where they see Freddie and Beck. Robbie is mad that Beck blew him off so his grandma gives him an idea to steal one of Freddie's friends. Rex reminds Robbie that Freddie's friends live in Seattle. When Freddie goes to take a bath, Robbie secretly calls Sam Puckett (from iCarly) and tells her Freddie got hit. Sam comes to Los Angeles quickly only to realize she was tricked. Robbie soon flirts with Sam and they go to hang out. At Bots Freddie sees Sam with Robbie and gets jealous. Beck realizes he and Sam used to date back in 2011, so he tells Freddie to hook up with Cat Valentine (from Victorious) since Robbie has had a massive crush on her since 2010. Robbie and Sam walk in the apartment only to see Cat and Freddie playing around. Robbie becomes jealous that Cat and Freddie have been hanging out to which Freddie says he and Sam have been hanging out. Freddie then kisses Cat for revenge and Robbie angrily tells him to jump the tuna tank for all he cares. On the night of the tuna jump, Robbie locks Freddie in the closet and decides to jump for him. Sam & Cat meet up with Beck and they reveal they have hung out all day and became friends. Cat's friend Trina Vega (from Victorious) appears as Cat invited her to watch the jump. Freddie escapes the closet and goes to stop Robbie but it's too late. Robbie is about to jump but hits the tank causing Sam & Cat to fall in. Freddie saves the girls while Trina calls an ambulance. Sam and Cat are quickly rushed to the hospital where they are badly injured. Freddie realizes that Cat is too bubbly for him and Sam is not Robbie's type since she's pushy and aggressive. They apologize for their fight. Freddie asks Sam to go on a date once she heals up and Cat asks Robbie the same thing. They all agree and the boys walk out of the hospital. Cat and Sam soon talk about how they like their boyfriends and hope they get out of the hospital soon.
