History Recap / ICarlyS05Ep01IAprilFools

As Carly and Spencer face eviction from their apartment on April Fool's Day, the gang reminisces of the times they had there, though they might not be as exactly as they remembered it.

* SelfServingMemory: The iCarlys reminisce about plenty of memories from earlier episodes. However, because this is an AprilFoolsPlot, their memories of past incidents are very warped and very untrue. And [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext it is all very strange]]:
** In a flashback to iPilot, their memory of how they got the idea for iCarly in the first place is that Ms. Briggs from an alternate universe (actually Spencer in a costume that looks like her) challenging her to a fight that ends up blowing both of them out of existence. After this whole crazy scenario happens, the two girls immediately think that they she should do a webshow, with Freddie showing up out of nowhere saying that it should be named iCarly.
** In a flashback to iHatch Chicks, the two girls are trying to look for the late chick. But then [[RememberTheNewGuy this crazy foreign guy that the girls apparently already know]] tries to explain to them through charades and gestures. Then Gibby shows up to hit him with a Stop sign, much to the girls frustration as he's not supposed to be in this flashback. And right after Sam chases him out of the studio, [[SpontaneousChoreography Carly suddenly goes into a hillbilly dance with accompanying music in the background]].
** In a flashback to iSaved Your Life, it shows the whole scene in which [[spoiler:Spencer is finally cooped and eliminated in a game assassin game between him and Sam]]. Only, in this version, Spencer is shown to have very exaggerated long hair that goes down to his waist, as the iCarlys made fun of him for having that for most of the season.
** The gang even weaponizes it by claiming that the building manager spontaneously allowed them to stay, and having the “flashback”. The manager lets them stay as a result, and even Lewbert goes along with it with no objections.

** A flashback ends with the iCarly’s randomly transported to the home of Tori Vega, with Sam nervously singing Make it Shine and Gibby having morphed into Robbie, complete with Rex.
** Spencer at the end apes Franchise/BackToTheFuture by acting as Doc Brown after traveling back, announcing that the gang needs to go “Back to a future episode!”

** And then he tried to give Carly some stuffed mushrooms in a flashback. Carly responds by throwing a book at him.

* UngratefulBastard: The iCarly gang, after T-Bo waters their party bush. T-Bo clearly expects a thank you, which the gang refuses to give him.
