Freddie, during a recording, publicly admits that he’s not hugely into the [[WebVideo/{{Fred}} Fred Figglehorn]] videos. However, this eventually results in its creator, Lucas Cruikshank, to make an announcement that he is no longer making videos ''solely'' because of Freddie admitting he's not hugely in the show. Because of this, everyone starts ostracizing him, much to the [[NoSympathy apathy]] of Sam and Carly because [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming he caused their show to become hated]]. Their infamy from literally ''everyone'' in the community causes them to make things right with the creator, Lucas Cruikshank, who reveals that the whole thing was purely a set up to get more views; all the while Sam is pummeling Freddie with a tennis racket just so he can reluctantly admit to being in Fred's show and throws him out of the treehouse. Later, the ''iCarly'' gang ([[YankTheDogsChain including Freddie]]) make videos with Lucas and the episode ends.
