Meamwhile, Freddie is stalked by a mysterious criminal after he records him robbing the Groovy Smoothie.
Original airdate, September 11, 2010.

* {{Claustrophobia}}: Carly's fear of small spaces returns, and her mental deterioration and increasingly erratic behavior when trapped inside that small room soon cause Sam and Pam to make up quickly.

* DoubleEntendre: When Pam says, "Those pants fit you real good," Dan Schneider asked Jane Lynch to look at the back of the therapist's pants instead of the front because the show is targeted mostly at kids 9-15.

* EndangeringNewsBroadcast: When Freddie is being interviewed on a news broadcast for catching the Shadow Hammer on video, a girl who is a neighbor of his not only reveals his full name to the audience, but also reveals what apartment building he lives in as well as his room number.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: There's one for each story (the main story and the subplot).
** For the "Sam's Mom" story, it's Dr. Parper, the therapist who Carly makes Sam and Pam go see to discuss their corroded relationship. He means well, but his methods are quite brutal, such as locking the two against their will inside a small room that contains a bathroom and refusing to release them until they reconcile.
** For the "Freddie" subplot, it's Gunsmoke, the bodyguard that Marissa hired. He constantly tells Spencer to stay away from Freddie, but his methods of doing so include throwing Spencer to the ground when he mocks him and destroying an ice cone machine that he mistook for a weapon.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Sam and Pam have been inside the therapy box for almost 10 hours without food, but none of them complained about hunger and starvation. Any person can't possibly go 10 hours without feeling hungry or starving, although it is possible that the therapist did give them food; he just exaggerated the phrase "No food, just talk".

* DoubleEntendre: When Pam says, "Those pants fit you real good," Dan Schneider asked Jane Lynch to look at the back of the therapist's pants, instead of the front because the show is targeted mostly to kids 9-15.

* NoEnding: The a-plot ends with Sam and Pam reconciling, but they are still inside the Therapy Box, and Carly is still freaking out. However, considering that Mr. Parper seems satisfied that the mother and daughter finally made up, it can be assumed that he released them.

* ParentalNeglect: Sam says that her mother Pam sold her pet when she was younger, she doesn't call her parole officer, and she didn't bother to pay the water bill all while Pam is telling Sam to sarcastically "just take a bath".

* RatedMForManly: Gunsmoke, who watches very gory violent war movies that scare the pants off of Carly making her run away, Spencer is uncomfortable watching it and asks they watch something else, so Gunsmoke decides ''Series/FullHouse'', much to Spencer's delight. Gunsmoke also claims that lemonade is for ballerinas.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: In this episode, Sam tells the therapist that she and her mom are not Jewish. However, she is shown hanging a Magen David in her locker and she says in iBust a Thief that she got a laptop for her Bat Mitzvah.
