Plot

Sikowitz hosts a sleepover party to help Tori, André, Robbie, Cat, Jade, and Beck learn about method acting. Each person chooses the character another person will play. Whoever breaks character before the next morning is eliminated from the party and banished from his house forever. Tori's character is a police officer obsessed with Raisin Bran that wears a lot of red lipstick (chosen by André based on a dream he had), Robbie plays a motivational speaker who drank a beverage that gave him jelly legs (chosen by Cat), Cat's persona (created by Beck) works as an annoying 80's comedian, Beck's character is an Englishman with a Cockney accent who loves to invade other people's personal space (chosen by Robbie), Jade's character (chosen by Tori) is a happy-go-lucky Alabama farm girl who is positive about everything, and André acts as a marathon runner who is nine months pregnant (upon Jade's request).

Robbie loses the game first when he is fooled into breaking character by Sikowitz, who crashes through his kitchen window to catch a fly and pretends to be injured so that his students will forget the game in their concern. Sikowitz's nephew Jason then enters from another room, and Tori (in character) flirts with him. When Jason mentions he'll be going to the Moxi to see a movie with his friends, Cat breaks character voluntarily in order to go with him. André's grandmother, who is paranoid about why he has not come home, frantically calls him multiple times asking where he is, but André only continues to stay in character, confusing her even further. This prompts her to come to Sikowitz's home and ask demandingly, who 'did that to him' (meaning his pregnancy). As André tries to explain in a whispered voice, he breaks character and is sent away by Sikowitz, who had heard him.

Sikowitz then asks Jade to go get a tray of hot quesadillas fresh from the oven. Jade burns her hand, but manages to stay in character while in pain, but she eventually runs out of the house to curse and destroy the neighbor's car, losing the game. Eventually, Tori and Beck's characters begin to drive Sikowitz nuts, so he leaves the room so they can't bother him, and they fall asleep. In the morning, Beck breaks character when he asks Tori what time it is in his normal voice. Tori, realizing that Beck broke character, becomes very excited and shakes Raisin Bran on him, declaring that she is "VICTORIOUS!" She continues to stay in character while she celebrates her win.

     "What's so funny with that!"

• Season's Last Line: "I am a police officer, and I am Victorious! Enjoy some raisin bran, you freakish Brit!"
• Cat says "Where's the beef?" in the same tone that the cast does (excluding Tori) near the end of April Fool's Blank.
• Ending Tagline: (Sikowitz) "I can't take it anymore!"
• Trina is absent in this episode although she is mentioned by her dad when Robbie drops by the house. According to her TheSlap page, she was at the mall with her friends.
• This is the first time Rex has hit on Tori & felt uncomfortable (Tori kissed Rex after Rex joked that Tori's part was to be a girl who loved kissing boys his size & Rex probably never expected Tori to kiss him) Rex also never appears after that.
• Sikowitz likes liquid soap just like Gibby from "iCarly".
• The outfit that Jade wears is similar to the outfit Carly wears during the "The Idiot Farm Girl Who Thought the Cowboy's Mustache was a Squirrel" segment in "iCarly".
• This is the second time that Cat's hair is curly (even though the actress who portrays Cat Ariana Grande's hair is naturally curly). First being Pilot.
• A picture of André in-character is seen in Freddie's blog on iCarly.com.
• This is the second episode that a main character has had to play a farm girl, the first being in the episode The Bird Scene (Tori).
• It is implied in this episode that Cat broke up with Danny since she is flirting and going out with Jason in this episode.
• André's shirt says Daka on it. This was a reference to the iCarly episode "iPromote Techfoots," and the Drake and Josh episode "Really Big Shrimp."
• This episode reveals that Mr. and Mrs.Vega are aware of Robbie's crush on their older daughter, as when Robbie shows up at their home Mr. Vega remarks, "Trina's not here."
• Jade almost broke character when she threatened Beck (in character) while eating Raisin Bran together with Tori (in character).
• This is the first episode to be self-referential, when Tori declares herself "Victorious" for not breaking character and winning Sikowitz's challenge.

  

• This is the second time that Beck was forced to speak in a British accent. The first time was in The Bird Scene
• So far, this is the last episode where Jade's hair color is brown.
• Sikowitz informs Tori and Beck not to look under the cabinet in his bathroom implying he is hiding adult films.
• When Jade kicks the neighbor's car window after breaking character she shouts "move this car" which sounds like she said a curse word.
• The order in which they were banished from Sikowitz's house goes: Robbie-Cat-André-Jade, which leaves Beck and Tori. This was the same order in which they were eliminated in their alphabetical improv in Pilot, only that Robbie is not in the game.
• According to Sikowitz, he had claimed he'd gotten a recipe from Crispin Glover, Crispin Glover is an actor who starred in Back to the Future as George McFly.
• With the series including the first season starting on March 27, 2010, and this episode airing on March 26, 2011 as a season finale, season 1 went on for almost exactly a year.
• This is the first time Jade has said something about using a car to hurt herself. In this episode she says "I'd rather slam my tongue in a car door".  In The Worst Couple, she says "If we're gonna keep talking about Tori's phone, can someone take me to a car door so I can slam my face in it."
• This is the first time Sikowitz referrers to Tori as Torro. (Torro is a fatty tuna according to Sikowitz)
• This is the first time Sikowitz' house is seen.
• Although Trina is not shown in this episode she is mentioned by Tori's dad.
• Toro sushi is also mentioned in iCarly season 6 episode 4 when Spencer calls Carly fatty tuna.
• André's grandma yelling "Come with me!" might be a reference to the song "Pure Imagination" in "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory", a film that might be the inspiration for this episode.

Running Gags

• Robbie and his Pearpad/Pearphone.
• The kids appearing at the Vega's house and laughing at Terms of Endearment, which is a romantic tragedy, not a comedy.

Goofs

• Though Sikowitz compliments Jade for not breaking character once the whole time she was in the house, she somewhat broke character as she threatened Beck, although she didn't necessarily imply she would do bad things.
• When Sikowitz first rings in on the status, it's 9:27 PM, and André's grandmother calls shortly after. The scene then goes to the Vega's house when Robbie arrives, then when Sikowitz updates again it's 11:14 PM. Normally, wouldn't the rest of the gang have been at home at the time of the second to last scene when they're all watching the movie with Tori's parents?
• The episode ends at Saturday morning. Technically, Tori and Beck both had succeeded in the method acting exercise.
• After the commercial break, you can see Beck playing with Cat's face. But when it shows them again, Cat is near the window, nowhere near Beck and Beck was in the same place as he was supposedly playing with Cat's face. However, she could've walked away within that four or five seconds, but probably not.
• André's grandmother knew where to find André despite not receiving any information.
• Jade's hand seemed to be fine at the Vega's house, but it hurt enough for her to break a car before.
