Recap / Victorious S 4 E 9

Go To

When Andre decides to bunk with Tori to work on a music project, he proves to be a really hard roommate to spend time with.

Meanwhile, Jade discovers an unflattering photo of herself on an internet map.

Tropes:

  • Big "NO!": By Jade at the very end.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Tori and Andre make up and finish their song, but it doesn't get approved because it didn't pass the Baby Test.
  • Cooldown Hug: Beck does this to Jade to stop her trying to kill Cat and Sinjin.
  • Diabolus ex Machina: Kojeezy loves Tori and Andre's song, but ultimately rejects it because of an arbitrary maxim he calls the Baby Test, where he doesn't buy songs if they make a baby cry. The test has no practical use, as anything other than children's music is liable to make babies cry.
  • Don't Ask, Just Run: Beck tells this to Cat while holding back a furious Jade trying to kill Cat for drawing attention to the unflattering picture of her online.
    Beck: (to Cat) Just run! Run fast and far!
  • "Eureka!" Moment: When Andre explains how he normally writes songs at home when having trouble at the Vega's, Tori gets the idea to act like his grandma to help him break his writer's block.
  • Exact Words: When Tori tells Andre about her meeting with Kojeezy in the beginning, she says of he hears a song that he likes, he told her "he might buy it and produce it." After Tori and Andre perform their song "Faster Than Boyz", Kojeezy turns out to be accurate with what he told Tori; he likes the song, but he had to have it participate in the Baby Test to get approved.
  • Feud Episode: Tori and Andre, who had been friends since the beginning of the show, start arguing after Andre stays at her house to get away from his grandma.
  • Force Feeding: Jade forces Cat to eat an entire bowl of bush peas (which Cat hates) as punishment for causing everyone at Hollywood Arts to see an embarrassing photo of Jade online.
    Cat: Can I stop now?
    Jade: No! You eat every one of those bush peas!
    Cat: But I hate bush peas.
    Jade: And I hate that you made every kid at this school go online and see that picture of me-
    Cat: But why does me eating bush peas help?
    Jade: 'Cause it makes you miserable, which makes me slightly less miserable!
  • Funny Background Event: Beck can be seen preparing to put himself between Jade and Cat as the latter later blithely admits she drew attention to the embarrassing photo of Jade online.
  • Here We Go Again!: The episode ends with Robbie messing up the new photo by making it look like he's kissing Jade, which she finds even more humiliating.
  • Irony: Tori's first song which heavily mentions butterflies, which Kojeezy rejects because he hates butterflies, would've passed the Baby Test in the first place.
  • Last-Second Photo Failure: At the end of the episode when Jade is getting ready for the satellite to take the new photo for PearMaps, Robbie gets attacked by a bee and accidentally falls on her just before the flash goes off; the resulting photo makes it look like Robbie is kissing Jade, which is even more embarrassing than before.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Jade keeps biting Sinjin's head off despite him helping her remove the embarrassing photo online.
    Sinjin: Just need to input the proper code...
    Jade: Blah, blah, nerd, nerd! Can you take the picture of me down or not?!
    Beck: You have got to work on your people skills!
