DanWarp's Opposite Date 'SNEAK PEEK! Victorious :)' on YouTube

Tori, Beck, André, and Robbie decide to go to a museum together to see a giant bone, but André and Robbie back out. Tori and Beck realize it will just be the two of them but are afraid it will seem like a date, so they decide to make it an "opposite date" by dressing casually and eating bad food. At the lockers, Tori tells Cat about her plans but asks her to keep it a secret. However, when Cat is talking to Jade, she accidentally tells her about it, making Jade suspicious and she tells Cat they're going to follow after Tori and Beck and see what they are up to.

The next night, Tori and Beck go on their 'opposite date' and get bad seafood from a truck, which was Tori's idea. Jade, impersonating Cat, calls Tori to find out where she and Beck are, but then Jade and Cat are stuck in traffic and can't get to them in time. Afterwards, Tori and Beck take Beck's aunt's dog, Buster, to an animal hospital; in the car, Cat calls Tori one last time, and she eventually becomes suspicious over Cat calling and asking where they are every few moments and suspects she told someone about the date, so Jade tries to cover it up.

Once at the animal hospital, The others in the waiting room hear Tori and Beck's conversation about Jade. They start asking him questions about his relationship with Jade and his friendship with Tori but are interrupted when Jade comes in. Beck and Tori quickly try to explain, thinking that she's mad, but Jade explains that she had changed her mind on the way here and is no longer mad. She tells Beck that he can hang out with Tori, or anyone if he wants to. Beck tells her that's cool, and they smile at each other, but Tori feels weird, happy...but weird.

Subplot[]

Robbie and André go to extremes to win two of the three PearPad 3s being given away.[5] They accidentally fall over while recording a video for it. Sinjin was filming and could have helped them, but he quickly abandoned them on his bike when he got a call saying that 'they found his mom in Mexico'. They stay stuck on their backs for a long time. Also, Robbie keeps on saying the PearPad 3 has a slightly better screen, aggravating André to the point that André threatens to physically harm Robbie and "rip off your [Robbie's] head."

    • Or it could’ve been mentioned off screen

Cat: No, I don't like him. He was so mean to that dog.
Jade: That dog is a coyote.
Cat: (gasps) Oh my God. Was that racist?

Cat: Riiiigght! (winks from eye to eye over and over)
Tori: Stop doing that with your eye! We're just hanging out as, you know, friends...
Cat: Oh, so I can tell people you're going out with Beck?

Cat: So you're staying in with him?
Tori: (laughs uneasily)No!--

Tori: Yep. Waiting for dog ointment.
Beck: Hey, actually... we're going to have an even more perfect ending.
Tori: What do you mean?
Beck: Applying dog ointment to the affected area. (moves his thumb in a circular motion)
Tori: (disgusted tone) Mmmmm. Well, I think this has been a great little experiment!
Beck: Experiment?
Tori: We proved that you and I can hang out, you know, just the two of us and not having it turn into a "dating" thing.
Beck: No doubt! In fact, when I take you home later, I'm going to punch you in the arm! (punches Tori on the arm playfully)

Tori: Hey, Cat.
Cat: Hi. What's up? Um, where are you and Beck going?
Tori: Oh, his aunt called him and... (realizes) Hey... how come you keep calling and asking where we are?!
Cat: Um...
Tori: You didn't tell anyone that Beck and I are out together, did you?!
Cat: What? No... That's so crazy! (to Jade) She's suspicious.

Tori: Owwww! Too hard!
Beck: Aww, you baby!
