List of episodes

The sixth and final season of iCarly began airing on Nickelodeon on March 24, 2012. This season features Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove), Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) and Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress), as their web show, iCarly, is becoming more popular worldwide. iCarly aired its 100th produced episode in this season, making it the first Nickelodeon live-action sitcom to reach that number.

As of 2019, only Nickelodeon's sketch comedy series All That and Henry Danger had reached a similar number of episodes.

On May 17, 2012, it was announced that this season would be the final season, and the series finale event would air in November 2012.[1] However, Nick promoted the October 6, 2012 episode, "iShock America", as the start of the "final season".[2] The series concluded on November 23, 2012 with a two-part special episode titled "iGoodbye".

851"iApril Fools"Jerry TrainorDan Schneider & George Doty IVMarch 24, 2012 (2012-03-24)5033.4[6]
Carly and Spencer are about to leave their apartment on April Fool's Day because they are evicted by Mr. Bushwell after Spencer forgot to pay their rent after they moved in, and Carly accidentally stabbed him. Sam, Freddie, and Gibby arrive and Carly says that they all had good times in this apartment and remembers one time when they were all sitting on the couch watching on TV an episode where the characters were doing flashbacks from past episodes (fake footage of past episodes). By the end of the episode, Mr. Bushwell comes with Lewbert to tell them to leave the building. Then, Sam asks them to remember the time where they came there and changed their minds about Carly and Spencer leaving, which turns out to be a replay of the scene with Lewbert and Bushwell entering the door. Then, Bushwell lets Carly stay and Spencer (dressed up as Doc Brown from the Back to the Future films) appears and says he knows the future regarding a "future episode of iCarly" about their kids (Freddie and Carly's or Freddie and Sam's). Then, T-Bo appears inside a tiny flying bubble and transports them all in it.
862"iGo One Direction"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & George Doty IVApril 7, 2012 (2012-04-07)5013.9[7]
After returning from vacation, Carly falls ill with "Jungle Worms", but feels better after two days, although she is still contagious. Later, Freddie tells Sam, Carly and Gibby that he has received an e-mail from the manager of boyband One Direction (whom Gibby appears to be a massive fan of), saying that they are in the Seattle area and would like to perform a song on iCarly. When they arrive, One Direction perform "What Makes You Beautiful" in the iCarly studio. (Afterwards, Sam takes a liking to Zayn Malik while Gibby tells Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson that he gives good foot massages). After Harry Styles drinks from Carly's water bottle, he gets Jungle Worms from Carly and then she takes care of Harry and he is still in bed after a week, much longer than Carly was sick for, making Sam believe that Harry is not actually sick any more and just wants the attention. Liam Payne announces that the boys will have to cancel their shows in San Francisco if Harry is not better soon, so Liam, Zayn, Niall, and Louis discuss with Carly, Sam, and Freddie what to do to try to get Harry out of bed. Freddie says that Harry might feel better if he thought that he was being kicked out of One Direction and being replaced by Gibby, and when he sees Gibby performing with Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn, Harry is shocked by how bad Gibby is at singing and dancing and says that he is feeling better, meaning that he was faking. The episode ends with One Direction performing "What Makes You Beautiful" on iCarly. After the song, Sam grabs Zayn by the neck and drags him into the elevator.
873"iOpen a Restaurant"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & Jake FarrowApril 21, 2012 (2012-04-21)5022.8[8]
After their computer monitor and TV (which was found in the dumpster behind El Taco Guapo and was stolen by a man sleeping next to it) are stolen, Spencer starts developing a security robot. At first, he builds one that blinds intruders, but takes it apart after it accidentally blinds Carly. He then makes one that shoots corn at intruders, but it malfunctions and accidentally attacks Carly, Freddie, and Spencer. They try to have it focus on Mrs. Benson and unplug it, but Spencer is not able to pull the plug out of the outlet before the machine runs out of corn, so Mrs. Benson is heavily pelted with corn. Elsewhere, Sam and Gibby open a secret restaurant named Gibby's in the basement at school. Bully Billy Boots harasses and annoys Gibby. Sam tries to intervene by sending Gibby to go on a walk and trying to talk to Billy, but when Gibby returns later, Billy attacks him and Sam beats up Billy with a Butter sock. The next day, Billy tells Mr. Howard about the restaurant in hopes it gets shut down. Even though Principal Franklin, who is one of Gibby's customers as well, agrees that the restaurant violates numerous school rules, he approves it and lets Sam and Gibby keep running it secretly when Mr. Howard is out of earshot.
884"iHalfoween"Adam WeissmanDan Schneider & Ben DouganApril 28, 2012 (2012-04-28)5052.9[9]
Carly, Sam, and Freddie wonder why people never celebrate Halloween more than once a year. They celebrate it halfway through the year as well creating a new holiday termed "Halfoween" and have a party. Carly dresses up as a life-size serving of tuna sushi, Sam dresses up with a hat with "hand sanitizer" on it, and Freddie dresses up as Lewbert. Once Nevel finds out, he dresses as a purple robot and give the "iCarly's" candy, which changes their voice and freaks out many people. Because of this, they angrily split up to find out who the purple robot is. Freddie successfully finds Nevel in the iCarly studio. He calls Carly and informs her it was Nevel, but Nevel's hench-man Ivan and Dimitri force Freddie into the robot costume. Nevel silences him and magnetically seals on the head so Freddie cannot take off the costume. Meanwhile, Sam and Carly get their real voices back, and Freddie probably does too. After Freddie is sent downstairs, he is caught by Gibby and Spencer. Still silenced Freddie is unable to tell his friends that it is him in the costume not Nevel. Subsequently, he is suspended and lowered twenty times in Spencer's new game, Jerk Basket, everyone thinking that it is Nevel being punished. After Carly and Sam feel they have their revenge, they realize Nevel was right behind them, happily watching Freddie get jerked. Nevel unlocks Freddie's robot head and they find an angry Freddie. Spencer tries to apologize to him, giving him a free stuffed unicorn from the Jerk Basket, only for Freddie to throw it back at him. Nevel finally feels he has had his revenge for the"iCarlys" not regaining his popularity after the incident with the man in a wheelchair (at the end of iPity the Nevel). Carly pretends she feels sorry and lets Nevel stay at the party, but she makes Sam "dangle" him above Spencer's Jerk Basket. They finally let him fall, and he collapses in a huge pile of toys and prizes. All the partygoers clap and cheer as Nevel is then suspended once more.
895"iPear Store"David KendallDan Schneider & Jake FarrowMay 12, 2012 (2012-05-12)5042.8[10]
Freddie gets a job at a Pear Store, but when Carly, Sam, and Gibby go down to the store, Freddie is given incredibly dumb customers, which Sam can sell to easier than Freddie. The manager sees this and gives Sam a job, much to Freddie's dismay. Gibby tries to decide on a phone case with an extremely nervous store employee. Carly tries to flirt with a nerdy store employee, but he is oblivious to everything she tries. She gets him to come over to her apartment, but he tries to act cool, which Carly does not like. Meanwhile, Spencer starts a fire for the 18th time after fixing the snow woman which nearly burns down, so the fire department refuses to put out any future fires, which causes Carly to be upset at Spencer and she forces him to make up with them. To apologize, Spencer brings burnt fudge nut brownies to the fire department, but they make him volunteer at the fire station, where he accidentally starts a fire in the kitchen. After this, the fire department refuse to respond to Carly and Spencer's fires for good. At the Pear Store, Freddie is still getting dumb customers, and Sam has been promoted to assistant manager. Freddie complains, which gets him fired. After this, Sam, upset about the way Freddie is being treated, quits her job.
906"iBattle Chip"Adam WeissmanDan Schneider & Jake FarrowJune 9, 2012 (2012-06-09)5062.4[11]
After Chuck and some of his 8th grade friends pull a prank on Spencer and steal his clothes, Spencer calls the cops on Chuck and finally gets rid of him by getting him sent to military school. However, this causes his little brother Chip to hate Spencer and terrorize him more than Chuck did. Elsewhere, Gibby buys a Galaxy Wars toy phaser and becomes depressed when Sam accidentally breaks it while beating up a bully for Lervin at the Groovie Smoothie. Freddie fixes it, but also modifies it into an actually working heat laser gun. During an iCarly webcast while they are trying to have peace and quiet without Chuck and Chip causing trouble, Chip antagonizes everyone with loud music, making it impossible for them to continue and threatening to mess with Carly. Downstairs, they find Spencer, who has been tied up by Chip. Gibby sets his phaser on "Overload", causing it to overheat. Before it explodes, Spencer throws it down the hallway where Chip is preparing a tub of super glue for another prank. The exploding phaser blows up the tub, and Chip gets thrown back by the explosion and glued to the elevator's doors. When Spencer and the others go to check what happened and find him, Carly says that they cannot leave Chip like this. Spencer agrees, but instead sprays cream on his butt before everyone leaves. Gibby tries to salvage his phaser, but Freddie confirms it has gone beyond repair.

Gibby buys pants which caused a few problems during the show. While the gang starts dancing, Gibby's pants fall down, causing indecent exposure on camera, as he is not wearing any undergarments at the time. This incident prompts the NCC to show up. People blame Fallon for the incident by saying he deliberately wanted Gibby's pants to fall. Carly and her friends do an episode of iCarly saying it was their fault and not Fallon's. The NCC forces them to pay $500,000 or they will shut down iCarly, so Fallon blogs asking America for their spare change to help the iCarly gang get the money.

Freddie and Gibby are stunned when two hot girls are impressed by two nerds who are part of a band. Then Freddie comes up with a plan to form a fake band to impress other girls. Upon seeing them talk with two girls, Sam offers to help them book their own gig. Then in the iCarly webcast, Sam announces Freddie's and Gibby's gig in their new band in the Groovy Smoothie and says that there is no way they are cancelling. So they decide to put on a fake fight, which nearly works as Gibby does not follow the plan exactly and accidentally knocks Freddie out for real. Elsewhere, Carly bans T-Bo from the loft after he destroys some things in her house and knocks out her date with a lemon launcher and comes over without invitation in the middle of the night to watch a movie about a Jamaican astronaut. T-Bo retaliates by banning her from the Groovy Smoothie and spraying her with a skunk. Later, T-Bo explains that he needs relief from stressful living in the Benson apartment every now and then and makes a bet with Carly - if she can handle living at the Benson apartment for at least one night, he will not come to the loft without asking and she can go back to the Groovy Smoothie. Soon, Carly has an over-healthy dinner and gets sprayed by a tick-gaser, and then Mrs. Benson holds a fire drill for everyone in the middle of the night and says that they will do another one soon. Carly then concedes to T-Bo and lets him come over whenever he wants. In exchange, T-Bo lets Carly come back to the Groovy Smoothie.

Carly and Sam find Spencer a friend from the Groovy Smoothie, and the super market while Freddie and Gibby find Spencer a friend at a gym locker room. Spencer has dinner with these so-called friends but cannot stand them because he has nothing in common with them. The friends also cannot stand Spencer because of his childish nature.

Sam convinces Freddie and Gibby to take Spencer's place, but this just upsets Carly more. Surprisingly, Colonel Shay arrives and escorts Carly to the dance after all.
