iBelieve in Bigfoot is the 16th episode in the 3rd season of iCarly.
When a recent sighting of the legendary Bigfoot has been brought up, the iCarlys go on a trip to Mount Baker National Forest, where it was sighted, to prove Bigfoot's existence.
During this, Spencer is obsessed with finding a creature called the "beavecoon".
Tropes:
- Cassandra Truth: No one believes in Spencer's constant claims of the beavecoon.
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: The beavecoon turns out to be real, meaning Spencer was right all along. Unfortunately, neither Spencer nor the iCarlys witness it.
- Darker and Edgier: One of few "dark" episodes of the show, especially given the Twist Ending.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: The beavecoon has the body of a beaver and the tail of a raccoon.
- Sham Supernatural: The Bigfoot sightings turn out to be scientist Dr. Sydney Van Gurbin dressing up as Bigfoot so he can generate public interest in his book "Bigfoot: True or Real?" He continues doing this even after he's been caught once, admitting he's "a sick person".
- Shaped Like Itself: Dr. Sydney Van Gurbin's book is called "Bigfoot: True or Real?".
- Real After All:
- The ending implies Bigfoot might indeed be real.
- The beavecoon turns out to exist as well. Too bad Spencer and the others failed to see it...
