Jade at Tori's house.

At the beginning of the episode, it is revealed that Beck has been hanging out with Alyssa Vaughn, the beautiful daughter of a local billionaire. A photo of the two appears online, and Tori briefly mentions it to Beck, telling him that Jade won't like it. Beck, however, assures Tori that they are just friends.

Soon after, Jade is arguing with Beck, telling him that she didn't want him hanging out with other pretty girls, and she is upset that Alyssa was texting him so much. The couple then drags Tori into their argument, each asking her to settle their argument over whether it's appropriate for Beck to be friends with Alyssa Vaughn. After the argument gets intense, Jade decides to break up with Beck.

Throughout the week, Beck continues to hang out with Alyssa. Jade becomes jealous, which she attempts to hide, but finally, Jade breaks down and goes to Tori for help. Tori and Trina are playing tennis on their Wii until Jade comes to her house crying, comparing a broken kite to her relationship and asking Tori to help her get Beck back. At first, Tori goes to talk to Beck, trying to convince him to get back together with Jade. Beck says that Jade has never done anything nice to him, and Tori, attempting to prove him wrong, asks what Jade got him for his birthday the past year. Beck says she got him a can of lemonade, which at first, Tori doesn't believe. When she finds out that Beck wasn't kidding, she talks to Jade and tells her that you have to be more understanding and civil toward your boyfriend. Jade drags Tori into the janitor's closet and cries. Jade takes Tori's advice, and with her help, gets Beck a rottweiler, the pet he has always wanted.

The girls attempt to sneak the dog into Beck's RV, hoping that the dog will lick Beck's face and cheer him up, making him realize that Jade really misses him. It turns out that Beck's father is the one in the RV, and the dog attacks him. Mr. Oliver gets taken away by an ambulance. Jade frantically apologizes to Beck and tries to explain that she didn't think the dog would go insane. Before she can finish her sentence, Beck kisses her and tells her he never stopped loving her, re-forming their relationship.

Subplot[]

Trina performs a one-woman show called Trina!. Robbie is responsible for writing a review and sees her last dress rehearsal, which turns out to be bad, as he had previously assumed. Having pledged to write honest reviews but wanting to avoid writing a bad review to incur Trina's wrath, Robbie avoids posting the review. In response to Robbie's delay, Trina gets angry, shoving Robbie's face into a bowl of cream-of-mushroom soup, demanding he write a good review. Robbie tries to get advice from André, who tells him to review the show as if it were a comedy. Robbie follows André's advice, portraying the show as a funny comedy, which drives Trina angrier. She storms into Mrs. Yonders' classroom, yelling at Robbie and throws Rex across the classroom and flips Robbie's desk. Trina performs her show to a full house, and the audience finds her show hilariously funny, constantly laughing throughout.

Trivia[]

Ba

Tori poses for a picture with the Rottweiler.

  • This episode marks the first time Beck and Jade broke up. They reunite in the same episode, unlike their later break-up in The Worst Couple, which lasts much longer until they reunite in Tori Fixes Beck and Jade.
  • Many of the lines in Trina's one-woman show are almost exactly the same lines as said by failed actor Brian Atene in his unsuccessful audition video for Stanley Kubrick's film Full Metal Jacket.
  • Before Jade visits Tori at her house, Tori and Trina are playing tennis on a Nintendo Wii. When it shifts to the screen they are playing on, you can see the DanWarp logo, and when Trina accidentally knocks Tori to the ground, you can hear Dan Schneider's voice say "Fifteen-Love", the score of their game.
  • Trina's one-woman stage show is apparently reminiscent of TV specials performed by Barbara Streisand during the 1960's and early 1970's.
  • Alyssa Vaughn's car is a 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo.
  • At Hollywood Arts, when Jade and Tori are talking, you can see Tori has stickers of Katy Perry in her locker.
  • This is the only episode to feature Jade's name in the title that does not feature a song.
  • This is the first time someone (Jade) has taken someone (Tori) to the janitor's closet.
  • Jerry Trainor (Spencer from iCarly) can be seen in the audience briefly during Trina's show during the opening. There are several close ups of him, and TheSlap trivia confirms that this was, in fact, Spencer.
  • This episode reveals Tori and Trina's grandmother is deceased; Jade learns this when she cries on the pillow that was made by Tori's grandmother.
  • Dan Schneider voices Beck's dad, marking his first role in a series he produced since Zoey 101.
  • When Trina talks to Robbie at his locker, a picture of a cat can be seen in his locker.
  • This episode marks the first time a couple (Beck and Jade) has expressed their love (verbally) on the show.
  • In the scene where Tori goes inside Beck's RV, the board behind Tori says; "Beck's Rules" and below that it says "Wear pants often". Dan Schneider apparently added this right before they began filming.
  • When André is filming Robbie talking, in the background, Rex moves his head, but doesn't show up on André's screen, then Rex's head moves on the screen, but not in the background.
  • When Beck, Jade, and Tori are all talking, Jade is carrying a Gears of War bag.
  • In Beck's profile, he asked his dad what he wanted for Father's Day, and his dad told him to break up with Jade. He's still mad about the whole dog attack thing.
  • This is the second episode with a main plot not centered around Tori, although Tori is still prominent in it. The first was the previous episode, The Birthweek Song, which was centered around Trina.
    Dhuia

    Jade and her kite

  • This is the first episode where a character cried, which was Jade.
  • This is the first time Jade feels bad for something she did to Tori; she got make-up on Tori's late grandmother's handmade pillow, and after Tori said this, Jade looked sorrowful.
  • André's sweatshirt says "I got 99 problems, but my kicks ain't one". This is a reference to the song 99 Problems by Jay-Z.
  • This is the first time we see the inside of Beck's RV, which is featured several times in later episodes.
  • Dan Schneider wrote fun facts for this episode.[2]
  • Los Angeles is paid each time the "Hollywood" sign is shown on Victorious, like in the opening shot of this episode.
  • The red Mini Cooper with a white top in the parking lot belongs to Harry, the production designer for Victorious, iCarly, and Zoey 101.
  • Jade to crumpling up Trina's flyer and stuffing it down her shirt was not scripted, Dan added this in on stage.
  • At the table where André sits down with Beck, very short bottles of ketchup and mustard can be seen. When they were filming the first 2 or 3 episodes of Victorious, they had a problem with the ketchup and mustard bottles (in some shots) blocking the actors' faces, and they had to keep adjusting their positions. Eventually, they had the prop department shorten them.
  • A new website is mentioned for the first time: BuzzFinger.com. This is a parody of TMZ.
  • Dan Schneider wrote the song Trina sings.
  • When Tori sits down, she says "You look a little like a lady who could use some lunch buddies." It was originally this shorter version: "You look like a lady who could use some lunch buddies." Victoria was having a hard time saying it, so she asked the writers to rewrite the line to make it easier to say. They joked around decided to make the line MORE difficult to say by adding the words "a little" to it.
  • No fewer than 70 people in the cast, staff, and crew asked if they could drive Alyssa Vaughn's Lamborghini. They were told "No."
  • When Jade drops her burrito, it splattered on Tori's hair and André's jacket, but they both stayed in character and played it off.
  • No one planned for Robbie's glasses to fall off when Trina shoves his head in the soup, but Dan thought it was so funny, that he left it in the show.
  • Victoria did her own stunt in this scene: when Trina whacks her in the head, knocking her down. As they had to do several stunts, she hit the floor at least 5 times.
  • Tori's line, "Okay, maybe you should…wait, are we friends? We're not even friends!", Jade's crying line "Do it soon" (said into the pillow) and Tori petting Jade's head when she's crying were not scripted. Dan added all this on stage while they were filming the scene.
  • Beck's RV is called "The Silver Streak". This is a reference to a movie of the same name.
  • The first section of this scene is shot outside, when Tori arrives at Beck's RV and rings the bell. The second section of this scene happens inside the RV. These two sections were shot over a month apart.
  • Mounted on the wall of Beck's RV, you'll see a red dashboard from an old car. It's from a 1966 Mustang (or, it could be from a 1965 Mustang, if it was the GT version).
  • Avan took bites of over 17 apples as they redid that part again and again.
  • Trina's line "Don't look at my shirt!" was not in the script. Dan added that line on stage while they were filming this scene.
  • Notice that Robbie's shirt says Dyn-O-Mite. That was a popular catch phrase from a 1970's TV sitcom, Good Times. JJ was famous for saying this line.
  • Dan Schneider says the line "Trina's one woman show will now begin".
  • Some of Trina's lines in her play come from S.E. Hinton's novel, the Outsiders. The original line was: "The Doctor says I'll never be able to walk again, not even on crutches. And you know what Ponyboy, I'm scared stiff." -Johnny.
  • Jade asks Tori for advice on getting Beck back.
  • Jade says she owes Tori for helping her get Beck back.
  • This is the first episode where Beck's RV is seen.
  • This is the first time two main characters are featured in the title.
  • The clip of Trina saying "I am so upset" was reused from Pilot.
  • Ending tagline: "Say cheese, fathead." - André
    Trina Nike Sneakers

    The sneakers Trina wears.

  • When Tori and Trina are playing the Wii tennis game, Trina is seen wearing Nike Air Prestige III sneakers.

Goofs[]

  • In the first scene, the captions list the music at the Asphalt Café as the opening to "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. In a later scene where Jade is having lunch by herself, the captions list the song as the opening to "Hot N Cold" by Katy Perry. Neither song was playing in either scene.
  • When André was recording Robbie with Rex, Rex's head turned in the video, but not in person.
  • Beck says he doesn't drink water from mountain streams, but when he was in Alyssa's car he can be seen drinking out of a Crystal Waters water bottle, the same brand that André offered him earlier. It's possible Jade doesn't drink from mountain streams, and Beck didn't want to anger her and made up the story about not drinking from mountain streams.
  • When Jade is squeezing her burrito, some of the beans get on her arm. In the next shot, the small bean spot is gone.
  • When Jade sits on Tori's couch, you can see one pillow changing places during the scene.
  • After Trina says "Write a good review of my show!", she leaves and says "I'll kill that guy." But the captions don't catch the last part.
  • It is physically impossible for any dog to blow its nose.
  • When Beck's dad is being attacked by the dog, you never see a silhouette of the dog, but at various points you see the silhouette of Beck's dad falling over and being attacked.
  • When Robbie is standing at his locker, the locker to the right of his would later become Jade's.

Tori: Yeah, but guys don't just care about how cool and hot you are.
Jade: Well, what else is there?!
Jade: Beck said you haven't done one nice thing to him in two years.
Jade: (still crying) That is so not true; we've only dated a year and 11 months!

Jade: No! No, Beck's always saying how he wants a dog. Uh, a rotten-hymer!
Tori: A rottweiler?
Jade: Yes! That's what he wants. Okay, what's our next move?
Cranky Janitor: (in the corner) Just get the boy a dog!
Tori & Jade: Go, go out! Out now. Run.

(in front of Beck's RV)
Jade: Beck's asleep. Give me the dog.
Tori: Okay. Oh wait, he has a runny nose. (Grabs a tissue from her purse and holds it to the dog's nose) Blow.
Jade: Dogs don't know how to blow their nose. (dog blows his nose)

(Beck walks up)
Beck: What is going on?
(Tori and Jade turn around and Tori screams)
Jade: Beck!
Tori: How can you be out here?!
Jade: You're in there being mauled by a dog! (Gestures to RV)
Beck: A dog? My dad's in there!

Paramedic: [to Beck] Hey, are you in college yet?
Jade: Bye!!!

Jade: Tori told me to get you the dog.
Tori: Dude.
Jade: Okay, it was kind of my idea, but I-I didn't think the dog would bug out like that. I just wanted you to have a dog because I know you've talked about getting one ever since I met you, and I thought that maybe- (Beck silences her with a kiss) You love me again.
Beck: Who said I stopped?
Tori: Awwwww… (Beck and Jade both look at Tori) I ruined the moment.
Jade: It's cool, and I really do owe you. (Jade and Beck resume kissing)
Tori: Hey. Um, it's getting kind of late, so I was wondering if you could drive me home.
Jade: It's not that far a walk.
[Tori walks away but briefly turns back as Jade and Beck continue to make out]
