Plans for the landmark 50th web cast of iCarly are at risk of being curtailed when Sam gets detention. Realizing she can't do the show without her co-host, Carly and Freddie try to get in trouble themselves, so they can do the live web cast from their school's detention room. However, deliberately trying to get detention proves to be far more difficult than Carly can imagine, and even harder for Freddie.

Carly's fame draws the attention of a private boarding school, who want her to enroll as a new student.
