Click Here! to watch the full episode. ==Plot== A heat wave hits the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and the students at Hollywood Arts are looking for a way to cool off. After Robbie checks the temperature in Venice Beach, Beck suggests the gang to head to Venice Beach and volunteers to take everyone there in his Airstream RV. Once there, Cat leaves to find a toilet while the rest of the gang stay back to get their beach stuff ready. When they try to leave, the door won't open. It turns out a 7000 pound Class A motor home had been parked right next to it. The gang at first think it's no big deal, since Cat was only going to the restroom and could come back and get them out. However, after Cat uses the bathroom she meets a group of hot guys who ask her to hang out. Initially reluctant, she agrees to goof off and hangs around with guys, unknowingly leaving her friends trapped in the R.V. The gang attempts to call Cat's cell phone, but they get no response. They start to get thirsty. Jade points out Beck's fish tank and asks when was the last time he cleaned the tank. Beck replied, "You're supposed to clean it?" Tori finds out that Trina had a bottle of water the whole time and is angry that she didn't share it. What remains of the water is literally one more swallow. Tori decides to share it through a cap, with only one tongue dip allowed, firmly telling Trina that she isn't allowed a dip. Tori and André take their dips, but Robbie ends up swallowing the whole rest of the water after receiving the cap, leaving Jade and Beck with no chance to dip. Jade overreacts when she begins sweating for the first time, and insists they escape the RV. Tori sarcastically responds by addressing Jade as "Catherine Obvious" (being ignorant of the actual name, Captain Obvious). Robbie is being tortured by the fish inside Beck's fish tank, and conclusively decides to drink it, despite the fact that the tank has never been washed. He sticks his head inside (to everyone's disgust), only to throw up into Trina's bag shortly after. André tries to make the most of the situation by informing everyone that his grandmother (before she lost her mind) told him everything can be improved through a song, and everyone begins singing "Make It Shine," just as Cat opens the door. Everyone is relieved to see Cat and runs out of the R.V. The cooler on Beck's truck is opened and everyone grabs a water bottle. Cat asks why they didn't open the door, and Beck begins to explain when they all realize that the van that blocked them had gone away without them knowing it. They go off to enjoy the Pacific as the episode ends. Fat Biscuit is seen at the end, having had surgery and no longer fat. He walks by the R.V. with some friends and recognizes his old vehicle. When one of the friends recalls past events occurring in the R.V. Fat Biscuit responds by quickly saying, "Don't talk about it." implying he has experienced traumatic events in the RV as well. == Trivia == *This is the first time Trina is seen talking to Beck. *Tori says "I'm so hot!"
