Stage Fighting

Stage Fighting is the 3rd episode of Season One of Victorious.

Plot
When entering her theater rehearsal class, Tori sees a visible bully who appears to be mercilessly attacking Beck. Tori tries to lure the bully off of Beck, but soon finds out that the apparent "bully" is a stunt actor, who is the teacher's assistant for the stage fighting class, in which Tori was unfamiliar with. Her fellow classmates explain the situation to her, in which Tori ends up joining the class. The teacher (unknown name) announces that each student in the class will be paired with a partner for a stage fighting project. As an example, the teacher demonstrates on Cat, as an example of how a fake punch is, which really involves sound effects. The teacher pairs up students, with Tori and Jade as a partnership. Tori feels uncomfortable with the partnership, as Jade and her do not really get along well.

Throughout the week, Tori worries that Jade will actually punch her, as a mistake or just on-purpose. On the day of the scene, Tori plays an elderly woman coming home from a bingo game, and Jade plays a "brutal mugger." The mugger attempts to steal the elderly woman's watch, with causes the woman to whack (not really) the mugger with her solid, cherry-wood cane. According to Jade, Tori hit her with the cane on-purpose. Tori repeatedly denies it, only to Jade's dismay. The stunt crew, teacher, and students go into complete shock. Tori tries to comfort Jade by getting her a chair, only for the chair to break.

In the hallway, André and Jade are talking, only for André to notice that Jade's facial bruise.. doesn't look real. Jade then confronts herself, by telling André that the bruise isn't real, but just makeup. Jade makes André promise not tell anyone, especially Tori, as Jade wanted to make her feel bad. André accepts, only to shout "Tori!", which causes Jade to burst with anger.

Subplot
Robbie falls in love with Trina after they act together in a World War II-era scene. The scene includes a kiss, in which Robbie mistakes for a real life, romantic kiss. Robbie starts to assume that Trina is also attracted to him, and assumes that they are dating.

Robbie kisses Trina during lunch, which leaves her in total shock that she spits skim milk in his face, which he hoped to be soy milk. Cat later explains to Robbie that you cannot just assume that you are dating, just from a stage kiss. She also explains that you can fake passion through acting, which she demonstrates by kissing him.

Goofs

 * When Tori and Jade are cleaning up after the food fight scene, Jade accidently trips when she walks up to turn on the music. This was not meant to happen, but Dan Schneider decided to leave it in because Elizabeth Gillies stayed in character. Victoria's big, open-mouthed smile was not scripted as well; it was her reaction to Elizabeth's slip-up.
