A Film by Dale Squires

A Film by Dale Squires is the 19th episode of Victorious.

Plot
A popular film director named Dale Squires comes to the school to direct a short film. Tori and the rest decides to help direct the film. During the filming Dale Squires does not do any of the work and when the movie premieres takes all the credit for the movie. Now yearning for revenge, Tori hires Andre's cousin, Kendra, to beat him up on live television on The Paul and Maury Show. Dale apologizes before Kendra can go onstage and gives them credit. The gang tries to stop Kendra, but she doesn't understand their message and proceeds to attack Dale, something that makes even Jade feel guilty. The gang leave to buy waffles to avoid feeling guilty.

Meanwhile Beck repairs Robbie's car. While Beck fixes the car, Robbie tries to impress girls who came over to watch Beck. However, it doesn't go too well, because one of the girls ends up spraying Robbie with a very powerful hose. In the end, some hoodlums hijack Robbie's car then leave.
