Ruffman, you and I are really alike in needing to see proof of episodes to declare them true. I don't want to sound arrogant, but I am usually correct about episodes and deciding if they are true or false because I have been given so many resources. You're kinda new to this so you didn't have the ability to purchase sides from showfax, or read articles online about actors and actress projects. But it's good to see somebody that believes in production numbers as much as I do, haha. Anyway my laptop crashed, and that was the one that had the sides, but I do have many other sources, and other information. If you go all the way back to June or July, on the iCarly family's twitter (DanWarp, MirandaBuzz, jennettemccurdy, HungryGirl), you can read comments about how on Monday of that week, they didn't go to work, instead, Lisa took Miranda shopping for her birthday. This is likely because Jennette wasn't healthy enough to be there, and they didn't know whether or not she'd be able to be there by the end of the week to film the episode. The next day, you'll read about Jennette feeling bad, Lisa sending Jennette a get well basket, and Dan holding a late Tuesday night table read, which is very rare for iCarly. He tweeted pictures that night, none of which had Jennette, and he also posted a pic of the script, which said [#238 "iWon], the rest was cut off. Now, I personally know the episode is titled iWon't Cancel The Show because I received a side for it. It's up to you if you want to believe that or not but that is my only CONCRETE proof. Dig and you'll find it. Now another thing I could try to do is provide scenarios to get you to think the way I do, and disprove your theories. I'm sure I misunderstood what you are saying, so I'll go ahead and say my bad. haha. I think one of your scenarios was that they did do a new episode, but left the title the same. Or maybe that they simply decided to extend it into a two parter. This scenario is completly false, it's just something I can use to get you to think the way I do. Let's pretend that showfax had this listed for season two, after the first week of production. #202 iGo To Japan (2) #203 iGo To Japan (3) #204 iAm Addicted to Pak-Rat So, the writers are given a break, so they won't write episodes until the week they film #204. 202 and 203 go through fine but the weekend after 203, Jerry comes down with a flu. Dan tells the staff at iCarly that there is no way they can do the episode without Jerry, so he presents a couple options. They wait and see if Jerry gets better, but if he doesn't they write a new episode at the last minute for that week. They can't rewrite the original episode without Jerry because it just wouldn't be the same, and they can't take a break because Nick is pushing them with due dates. Jerry doesn't get better so at the last minute they write iSaw Him First. (Let's pretend that since Jerry's role is so small, that he doesn't appear at all, after all this is purely hypothetical.) They go through the rest of the week, Jerry recovers by the next week, and they do iStage An Intervention during week 5. They change the title because they had more time to be creative. The new order is #203 iGo To Japan (3) #204 iSaw Him First #205 iStage An Intervention. There would be no sense in keeping the title of 204 as iAm Addicted to Pak-Rat because that would just confuse staff and editors. Also they wouldn't make the story a two-parter because it just doesn't make sense to do that. I REALLY hope this makes sense to you. I'll post my 225 theory later on tonight cause I got to eat dinner now, haha. Later. *Sorry about the lack of spacing. I originally did space correctly, but I edited a typo and got this :/
