Prom Wrecker

Prom Wrecker is the fifth episode of the 2nd season of Victorious and the 25th episode overall. This episode aired on May 21st, 2011.

Plot
André's new girlfriend, Sherry (Tristan Mays), drives him crazy with her excessive make-out sessions with him and doing nothing else but kiss. Tori convinces Sikowitz to host a prom, which she names it as "Prome", since everyone says that they don't want a regular prom. But the prom ends up replacing Jade’s one-man-show which was scheduled for the same night called "Clowns Don't Bounce." Jade then goes on a warpath seeking vengeance. First, she puts on a scary and disturbing movie to scare everyone at the Prome, and when that doesn't work, she hires Doug the Diaper Guy to drive away people from the Prome because of his behavior, while all this time Tori tries to save the prom. Instead, Doug turns out to be quite the life of the party himself.



Later on, Tori gets back at Jade by making her Prom Queen, which she hated, and having Doug as the Prom King, making Jade angrier as he carried her out. The episode ends as Tori and Cat sing Best Friend's Brother with Andre and his band playing the music. Unfortunately, a rainstorm breaks out during the first chorus, and the band is wondering whether they should call it a night. However, when André mentions the possibility of continuing the performance, the crowd eggs them on to keep going, and they gladly do so.

Subplot
Meanwhile, Robbie asks Cat out to Prome but she rejects him because Tug already asked her. Robbie was hurt but he believed her, but when Rex convinced him, he thought that Cat was lying and got angry. Robbie confronted Cat twice about it and left Cat upset right before Tug came and showed off his hat. The plotline between Robbie and Cat was never really resolved after that.

Second subplot
Trina wants to be crowned "Prome" Queen, so she asks Sinjin to hack into The Slap and increase her votings. However, Sinjin only agrees to do so if Trina agrees to be his date to the "Prome". When Jade was crowned "Prome" Queen, Trina got really mad at Sinjin and tugged his shirt. Finally, Trina takes Sinjin's coat to cover herself from the rain when Tori sang Best Friend's Brother. It was never shown Trina getting revenge on Sinjin after that.

 * The scene where Jade's horror movie was shown during the Prome was considered frightening to younger viewers.
 * Most viewers noticed that Tori and Jade's dresses look very similar.
 * While it was raining, Trina put Sinjin's jacket over her head, inferring she hates being wet like Jade.

 * Bed, Bath and Yonder is a parody to the store Bed, Bath and Beyond.
 * PearPads were used as speakers for the prome.

Goofs

 * In Wok Star, the school wouldn't produce Jade's play because the teachers thought it was too weird and disturbing, however, this play seems even more weird and disturbing than Well Wishes. So if they wouldn't let Jade produce it, why on Earth would they let her produce a play as disturbing as Clowns Don't Bounce?
 * Tori wanted to host the first Hollywood Arts prom, but in Pilot, Rex tells Tori and André that no one asked Cat to the prom, and that she being asked to a prom, which was most likely at Hollywood Arts.
 * Cat said that Tug asked her to the prome, but she also said that he went to a different school. How would he have known about the prome without Cat asking him there?
 * The prom is filmed in the parking lot of the Victorious/iCarly set. If you pause @ 0:21 on the first promo, it shows the sign advertising the SHOW, Victorious (with Robbie, Rex, Cat, and Trina), not Hollywood Arts. However, on the second promo and actual episode, it appears they digitally changed the sign to read "Hollywood Arts."
 * Playing instruments in the rain can damage their sound quality, something a musician like André should have been aware of, unless the instruments were waterproof, which could be possible (although there are no waterproof musical instruments in existence currently, Dan could have made it possible on the show).
 * Also they where outside during a Thunderstorm which is very dangerous. Once they heard the 1st thunder clap they should have been inside (lightning can kill 40 Miles from the apparent storm.)

Running Gags

 * André and Sherry making out.
 * Robbie being rejected.
 * Rex talking Robbie into something he doesn't believe to be true.
