Plot[]

Sikowitz announces the casting for the new play called Steamboat Suzy, and Tori lands the lead, while Jade is stuck as her understudy. She is furious and becomes even angrier when Tori says she doesn't even know what an understudy is. Jade tries many attempts to get Tori to miss the play. First, she tries to steal Tori's part by hiring Sinjin into tricking Tori by calling and telling her that he works for Lady Gaga and asking Tori to dance and sing backup in a new music video. After her first plan failed, Jade attempts to get Tori sick by looking through her medical records and then gets Bush Daisies (which Tori is allergic to) delivered to Tori. Tori is able to avoid the flowers, and she tells Jade that she earned the lead, and nothing can stop her from doing it. However, during opening night, Lane (the school's guidance counselor) receives a text from Rex, saying, "There's a car parked in Robbie's butt", and they rush to the hospital to see him. At first, Tori thinks that this is another trick from Jade to get Tori to miss the play, but Jade says it’s not. The gang visits Robbie in the hospital. Robbie tells everyone that ten years ago a scary bully made him swallow a Pontiac toy car and now it's stuck in his small intestine, and if it moves, it may "tear his guts apart."

The doctor comes in, saying the gang needs to perform surgery and need a pint of blood but they do not have enough at the hospital because the type Robbie has is rare. Jade, because she read Tori's medical file, reveals to Tori that she and Robbie share the same blood type, which is O-negative. Tori tells the doctor that she wants to get the surgery done quickly because she is the lead role in the play. The doctor suggests that Tori gets an understudy to play the role she will be playing, which Jade, happily, says that she is the understudy for Tori. Tori donates blood, but Jade gets rid of the first pint to make Tori late for the play and make her unable to take the role of Suzy. She gives another pint, which Robbie accidentally drops, splashing it all over them. Meanwhile, back at school, Jade puts on Tori’s Steamboat Suzy dress because she knows that Tori will be late to take the role of Suzy. The last pint of blood was a success, but it causes Tori to feel dizzy and not able to perform her role in the play properly. After André catches a faded Tori, Sikowitz, who was informed by Cat that she had three pints of blood taken out of her in order to help Robbie, decided to give the play a brief intermission. Jade quickly decides to get in Tori's dress and play the part, but Sikowitz tells her no because she has been a "gank" all week and was not going to reward her by playing the lead. Jade persuades him by telling Sikowitz that the show must go on, which he agreed. However, instead of Jade playing the role, Sikowitz ends up playing the role for Tori while she is wearing his clothes, due to her clothes being covered in blood. Sikowitz being the lead bewilderment of everyone, including the actors. Meanwhile, Tori asked Cat if the doctors got the Pontiac out of Robbie as she tells her that they did, which she is glad about.

Subplot[]

Trina with the man with tuberculosis

Sikowitz tells Trina that she needs to be a more convincing actress when she fakely coughs for her role as the girl with tuberculosis in Steamboat Suzy, so she goes to every extent to prove herself to Sikowitz. When Trina visits Robbie at the hospital, she hears a man with tuberculosis coughing. She and Cat go to his room so that Trina can record the man's coughing voice. After being too close to him, Trina catches tuberculosis for real, and Sikowitz believes Trina has improved greatly and does not believe her upon telling him this, saying that if she believed it, the audience would too.

Songs Featured[]

Status updates[]

  • Jade tried to STEAL my part in Steamboat Suzy. P.S. I will NOT teach Sinjin to dance. (Feeling: Cranky)
  • A lady is about to take MY BLOOD. I hope she's nice to it. (Feeling: Anxious)
  • One pint of my blood - GONE. Does it miss me? Soon I shall be STEAMBOAT SUZY! (Feeling: Pumped)
  • Giving ANOTHER PINT of blood now. Then on my way to Steamboat Suzy!!! (Feeling: Relieved)
  • Now I gotta give ANOTHER PINT OF BLOOD! How will I be Steamboat Suzy?!?!? (Feeling: Freaked Out)

Trivia[]

Trina stops Tori from sniffing the bush daisies, due to Tori's high allergies to it.

Shot0001

Intro (2): Victoria's Intro

  • Absent: Avan Jogia as Beck Oliver.
  • Near the beginning of the episode, Robbie mentions that his "tummy's been feeling kinda weird these past couple of days." This could be due to the fact that he consumed so much ice cream in the previous episode, Ice Cream for Ke$ha, despite his lactose intolerance, not just the toy car stuck in his small intestine.
  • This episode shows bad things happening to the Vega sisters (Tori feeling woozy at the end of the episode after getting three pints of blood taken out of her and Trina getting tuberculosis).
  • According to one of Beck's updates in TheSlap, he was helping a friend move to the valley that day, as he’s the only one with a truck. It’s possible Beck skipped school to do this, as the rest of the gang is shown to be in class. However, if you look close, he makes a cameo appearance in the end credits (a scene from Beggin' on Your Knees).
  • This is the third time a character has been in the hospital, the first being André, Beck, Trina, Jade, Tori, and Robbie in Cat's New Boyfriend, and the second being Rex and Cat in Rex Dies.
  • When the gang is about to go to the hospital, (if you blink, you'll miss it, but) you see the same exact hospital that Josh went to in Drake & Josh episode "Paging Dr. Drake".
  • This is one of those time Jade mimics Tori with a 1940 movie star nod, previously seen in the episodes Wok Star, Beck Falls for Tori and Ice Cream for Ke$ha.
  • Also, this is the second time that Tori hasn't told Jade that "I don't talk like that", the first time was in Wok Star
  • This is the second time that Robbie has been in the hospital, the first being Cat's New Boyfriend.
  • Trina is oddly nice to Tori in this episode.
  • The things Jade did to try to get Tori to miss the play:
    • Threatening her to get hurt or go missing or get hit by a bus.
    • Gets Sinjin to pretend to be a person who works for Lady Gaga and hold a backup dancing music video so Tori can be in it.
    • Looks through Tori’s medical records and gets bush daisies so Tori can get sick cause she’s allergic to them.
    • Steals Tori’s first pint of blood so she’ll be forced to stay and get another pint taken away.
    • Gets back to school before Tori and wears her Steamboat Suzy costume.
  • Now both Tori and Trina are shown to have bad allergies to certain things.
  • This episode shows some of the opening credits.
    MIRRORED INTRO (1)

    INTRO: Liz's introduction

    Shot0002

    Sikowitz's hand movement

    Screenshot8

    "Let's... discuss... ACTING!"

    • Victoria Justice's introduction is a deleted scene from the play
    • Elizabeth Gillies' mirrored introduction when Tori, André, Cat, and Robbie are talking to each other
    • Sikowitz's hands from the beginning of the episode
  • This episode aired on the eighteenth birthday of Miranda Cosgrove: May 14, 2011.
  • The U.S. (United States) flag on the boat has 45 stars (January 4, 1896 - November 16, 1907), which means that Utah is the most recent state to join the United States. This also means the play took place between those years.
  • This episode reveals the following:
    • Tori and Robbie have the same blood type.
    • Tori is allergic to bush daisies.
    • Robbie has a sports car stuck in his small intestine.
    • Robbie is a fan of SpongeBob.
  • This episode can be compared to the South Park episode Casa Bonita, where Eric Cartman makes a relentless attempt to send Butters missing so he can come with the rest of the gang to a fun restaurant for Kyle's birthday. Also, while Butters does end up not coming with them, the police become aware that it was Cartman who made him go missing and have him arrested, much like how Sikowitz refuses to let Jade perform at the end despite Tori being unable to herself.
  • When the nurse tells the doctor that the "creepy male nurse" lost the pint of blood, it is revealed that the doctor's name is Dr. Schneider. This is a reference to Dan Schneider, the creator of the show.
  • This is the second time Sikowitz calls Jade a "gank", the first being Freak the Freak Out.
  • This is the first time Sikowitz and Trina interact (besides when they were in the Diddly Bops together).
    • If Sikowitz would’ve known Trina, then it may seem that Trina attends Sikowitz’s class (though she is not in the same period as the rest of the gang) but in a different period.
  • This is the first time Trina is actually cast in a play that she did not write herself (in Jade Dumps Beck, she wrote and starred in her one-woman show, Trina!).
    Screenshot9

    Tori feels weak after three pints of blood are taken out of her body.

  • This is the second time Cat helps with lighting for a play (the first being Rex Dies).
  • End Tagline: Tori: "Is this gonna hurt?" Nurse: "Probably."
  • This is the second time a male character has impersonated Tori (Sikowitz as Steamboat Suzy), the first being Beck in Beck Falls For Tori.
  • In one of the captions, a picture in the Tori Gets Stuck album/gallery implies that Cat's favorite movie is Titanic.
  • This is the second time Beck (Avan Jogia) is absent (the first being The Birthweek Song).
  • Sikowitz proves that he does, in fact, have some musical talent, also proving it in Freak the Freak Out.
  • Tori donates approximately 3 out of the 8-12 pints of blood a human has in this episode. It is not likely that any medical professional would take that much blood out of one person.

    An X-ray of Robbie's Intestines, revealing the toy car.

    RobbiesXRayShowsMoreThanJUSTaToyCar

    Just look closely...there's more than just a toy car on that x-ray ;)

    • Dizziness and weakness are symptoms of 3 pints worth of blood loss, as shown by Tori in the end.
  • This is the first episode where two people speak in the ending tagline instead of just one person.
  • This episode was filmed on December 3, 2010.
  • If you hear closely in the background when the nurse is telling the doctor they lost Tori's blood you can hear someone calling for Doctor Schneider which is a Reference to Dan Schneider the show's creator.
  • The scene where the doctor shows Robbie the X-Ray of the toy car in his stomach may possibly be a reference to Jackass: The Movie where Ryan Dunn shoves a toy car up his intestine.
  • The hospital in this episode breaks many different types of rules, such as breaking patient confidentiality, leaving a patient alone to walk around the hospital, taking three pints of blood from a person in one day, not having enough of a specific type of blood for a surgery, and allowing two teenagers to be a room with two patients that have pneumonia and tuberculosis.
  • The Nickelodeon cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants is mentioned in this episode when Tori mentions that Robbie wears SpongeBob underwear.
  • This episode is skipped in British reruns, possibly out of concerns over the way Jade acted- however it used to be shown in rotation whilst Victorious was still an ongoing show..[citation needed]

Reception[]

This episode has been received negatively by fans due to Jade's behavior and actions being worse than typical, as well as for being too violent in some aspects for children. The episode premiered to 4.16 million viewers and was the most-watched scripted cable telecast of the week save for some SpongeBob repeats.

Running Gags[]

  • Jade being called a Gank.
  • Jade’s imitation of Tori as an actress from the 40s.
  • Tori getting pints of blood taken away.
  • Jade trying to get Tori to miss the play.
  • Trina recording people coughing.
  • Robbie not feeling well.

Goofs[]

  • The hospital featured in this episode could be sued or even shut down for medical negligence and most of the doctors and nurses could lose their jobs.
  • It is not safe to get three pints of blood taken in one day (a person who gave blood must wait eight weeks, which are two months in total, before giving more), especially for a small body build like Tori.
    • The hospital could easily get sued for this action, considering how it made Tori very dizzy and she passed out during the play, which are real symptoms of having given more than two pints of blood taken out.
  • Tori invited her friends to eat sushi with her at Nozu, but Nozu didn't even exist (or rather was not known by them) until Season 3. It's likely that she heard about it offscreen.
  • Tori and Jade didn't really need to fight over the role in the first place; they could literally just switch places for both opening night and the succeeding show after that, since Tori's the lead and Jade's her understudy. Although this could be a problem if either of them are selfish about doing the role.
  • Jade went through Tori's medical records, but it is against the law to access another person's medical records, yet Jade is not punished, even though Tori's father is a police officer. (This is typical of shows in the Schneider-verse.)
  • There are multiple goofs regarding the topic of tuberculosis:
    • For starters, the nurse should not be allowed to tell Trina where she can find a tuberculosis patient, because it is a violation and breach in the medical patient confidentiality that all hospitals follow. In real life, she would be fired for this.
    • Under no circumstances would a hospital allow two teenagers to be with a patient that has a highly contagious and life-threatening disease such as tuberculosis in the first place. Tuberculosis is, in fact, fatal and can kill someone.
    • Cat and Trina would have had to wear protective gear such as a face mask since they were in the same room as a man with tuberculosis.
    • The diseased man should have hit his nurse call button to get a nurse or healthcare worker over to his room and force Cat and Trina to leave. He also could've sued them for invasion of privacy and harassment. However, the intense coughing putting a strain on his lungs might've prevented him from doing so.
    • Even though Cat was not that close to the diseased man, she should have also caught tuberculosis as well, since she was in the room and was presumably still with Trina after they left.
    • Trina apparently caught tuberculosis; however, this is never mentioned in later episodes and if she actually did, she would have been in the hospital, not performing in the play.
    • Trina comes down with tuberculosis within apparently hours of leaving. However, tuberculosis can take weeks to months to develop, provided that it is not a latent infection.
    • Trina most likely would have died, since she contracted Stage III tuberculosis.
    • Lastly, Sikowitz would've had to postpone the play since Trina had tuberculosis, as she was likely at risk of giving it to the other actors.
      Screenshot2

      Sikowitz stops the play for a while.

  • On Beck's Profile on TheSlap.com, Jade comments on his last post that he will miss the play that will be on Saturday, but in this episode, it states that the play will be on Friday.
    • It is likely a second show was added.
  • Hospitals are generally very careful and it is rare that blood would be left lying around like it was in the episode.
  • It is highly unlikely a hospital wouldn't have enough of a specific blood type for surgery, even a rare one, as they must always be prepared.
  • The doctor mentions that Robbie's blood type of O- is rare, even though O- is the fourth most common blood type in the United States.
    • This was probably meant to add more conflict to the episode, along with not having enough of it.
    • While a person with O- blood can donate to anyone, they can only receive O- blood.
  • Tori said that Robbie was wearing SpongeBob underwear, but Robbie's underwear can clearly be seen to not have SpongeBob on it. Given the camera angle, she might've been looking at a different viewpoint before he covered it with his pillow out of embarrassment.
  • When Sikowitz sings "The Captain is She" at the end, the song is longer than when Tori sang it in rehearsal.
    • However, since her rehearsal was interrupted with the flower delivery, we did not get to hear the full song before this moment.
  • No real hospital would allow a patient to handle a bag of blood under any circumstances. However, since Robbie held the bag with no staff nearby, no one could intervene.
  • Like in The Great Ping Pong Scam, Jade is able to fit into the notably thinner Tori's clothing, even more, egregious since Jade has noticeably gained weight since then and likely gone up a size. Likewise, Sikowitz is also able to fit into the Suzy costume.
  • The male nurse could have clearly seen Jade in his peripheral vision take the bag of blood and put it on another cart, yet he somehow doesn't notice when the bag is sitting right next to him. Given the background sounds, Jade must've used this to her advantage and slipped away unnoticed.
  • No sensible person would allow a person who had given three pints of blood in one day to act in a play.
  • Jade's actions could've also put Robbie in danger as she was stopping the doctors from giving Tori's blood to him.

Jade: Oh, then I'll just keep her dress warm.

Tori: Okay why don't you go to the nursery and scare the newborn babies?

Jade: [gasps excitedly] Where are the babies?

Nurse: (on the phone) WELL WHO GAVE HIM THE MUSTARD?!

Sinjin: (After he was caught) Jade made me do it. She promised me $30 and a complete makeover.
Jade: Well, you failed, so now you don't get $30 and you get to keep looking like that!
