Plot
Tori is assigned to special effects in a play. Robbie asks her to watch Rex because Rex makes "jokes" watching while he changes into his costume. When they test the wind machine (that Tori operates) Rex is sucked into the machine which damages him badly. This makes Robbie go through an emotional breakdown. Tori, Beck, Jade, and Cat take Rex to the hospital. Tori has to promise one of the doctors to go on a date with his son Lendel before he "treats" Rex. Their plan is to have the doctor fix a heart monitor so that Rex "dies". While Robbie and Tori are singing to Rex, the machine flat lines. When the doctor herds everyone out of the hospital room, Tori sneaks back and fixes the heart monitor to bring Rex back to life. Then Rex sings the rest of the song.

Tori then tells the doctor that Trina will go out with the doctor's son Lendle. Tori lies to Trina saying that Lendle is a handsome guitar player when in reality he is a "loser".

While this is going on, Jade tells Cat to talk to the receptionist. She does as Jade says, and ends up in the mental ward as the receptionist believes she's crazy. One of the doctors then say they should call in a specialist as Cat scratches her nose with her feet.

Trivia

 * Trina's role in this episode is limited only to two brief appearances.
 * This episode has a more serious & emotional tone than most of the other episodes in the series.

 * As of this episode, when Ariana Grande is credited during the theme song, it adds a clip of her from Survival of the Hottest along with the one from The Bird Scene.
 * In this episode the guys eat in a 1997-2004 red Dodge Dakota possibly one of them got a new car.
 * The episode premiered to 4.17 million viewers and was the channel's most watched telecast of the week save for a few Spongebob repeats.
 * This was the second straight episode to at least reach the top 5 on the overall charts on iTunes.
 * The doctor also appeared in Cat's New Boyfriend. The hospital Tori and the others went to was the same one from the same episode.

 * This is the fifth episode where the title is said; though very briefly, Tori once starts a sentence with "But if Rex dies..."
 * Cat's line "My nose itches and I can't scratch it" is re-used from the episode Tori the Zombie.
 * Its is shown that Cat possibly has feelings for Robbie because when they say Rex is just a puppet, Cat responds by saying, "Not to Robbie....". When she says this she has a saddened look on her face.
 * This episode features a large Rebbie friendship plot.
 * The plot point where the doctor helps them in exchange for a date for his son and when Tori sets Trina up with Lendle without her knowledge is similar to an episode of Zoey 101 where Zoey sets up her friend Nicole with a genius in exchange for his help.

Goofs

 * A full jar of cream wouldn't make a full jar of butter. It would take a few gallons to make a full jar.
 * When Trina asks Tori to put Mom's credit card back into her purse, she says "flavor" instead of "favor" possibly as common slang.
 * If Cat had actually shocked Jade, the voltage would've electrocuted her and she could have died from it.
 * If Cat had actually sprayed something inside Andre's eyes, he could have been permanently blinded.
 * The doctor said that Rex will "die" in 15 minutes, but it's only been 3 minutes (though since the scene skipped in between, time could have passed in the transition).
 * When Sikowitz comes into the Black Box theater to check everything off, you can see Tori fixing a purple curtain around the Turblow Jet. The moment it cuts to Beck standing next to the Turblow Jet, the curtain is gone.
