While they have the video removed, the girls are flattered by comments complimenting their sense of humor. Carly and Sam give Ms. Briggs a DVD of the auditions, only for her to reveal she saw the video and reject their list of recommended acts. Carly is then inspired to make their own webshow in which they can do whatever they want without people stopping it, and with her brother Spencer's permission, they redecorate the third floor into a makeshift studio for the webshow, named "iCarly" by Freddie.

When the break-up gets out of hand, the iCarly gang holds a segment in which the viewers vote to see whether Spencer and Ms. Ackerman should get back together or stay broken up. When the most popular vote is to break up, Ms. Ackerman goes back to taking anger out on her students. However, the next day, when she is about to assign a lot of homework to her class, she is arrested for downloading over 500 illegal songs on a PearPod she got for Spencer, which she admitted on the webshow and the FBI tracked her down. After that, in the end, the rest of the class go on the ice skating trip Ms. Ackerman had promised them earlier. |
