Locked Up!

Locked Up! is the sixth and seventh episode of the second season of Victorious and the 26th and 27th overall, for the United States it is a movie. It is a 1-hour special that first aired on July 30th, 2011 at 8 P.M. Two songs were featured: the first, All I Want Is Everything is an original song, and the second is I Want You Back, originally sung by the Jackson 5.

Plot
The episode starts when Festus, who runs the Grub Truck, overhears that Tori and her friends have no vacation plans. He tells her that his brother lives in Yerba, and if Tori and the gang will perform there for seven nights, their whole vacation will be free. So, the Victorious gang takes a trip to Yerba, an island nation. Tori thinks she planned the perfect vacation, with luxurious foods and service, but lets everyone down when they are placed in a rundown hotel room with critters and insects as well as disgusting meals, Andre also gets bit by a vampire moth and has severe swelling on his neck. On top of that, there are soldiers everywhere because, as they also find out, the country is at war. When they go to complain, they are held to their promise that they will perform a song each night. But while dancing for the chancellor, Tori's shoe comes off her foot, flies across the room, and hits the chancellor in the eye. She is then sentenced to four years in a Yerbanian prison. Later, when they try to get Tori released, Robbie accidentally kills the chancellor's octopus, causing the rest of them to be put in prison. Eventually, Tori (and Sikowitz, to some extent) concocts a plan to get out, which involves a hit song. After performing I Want You Back with the other prisoners for the chancellor, the gang sneaks out and escapes in a duck truck.

Trivia

 * This was filmed during the week of Matt's birthday.
 * The country of Yerba does not exist and was specifically created for the episode. It is also apparent that while the Chancellor is the Yerbanian equivalent to the United States President, the position is also the leader of the Federal Judicial branch of Yerbanian government.Locked-up-1.jpg
 * The special has its own unique opening theme sequence, using its own title card and scenes only found in this episode. However, the scenes in the regular sequence that are not part of any episodes, such as the daydreaming in the car and using graffiti on the camera lens, are still used. While "Freak the Freak Out" had its own title card, the opening sequence only used an extended version of the theme song with unique non-episode scenes.
 * This is the first time a main character has been incarcerated.Wwm.jpg
 * Beck returns after a two consecutive episode absence.
 * This is the second Victorious episode to be one hour long. The first was "Freak the Freak Out"
 * Southeast Asia was referenced in this episode:
 * The concept of the dancing prisoners is inspired by the dancing inmates in Cebu, Philippines who performed "Thriller" (2007) and "They Don't Care About Us" (2010).
 * As seen in the promo, Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines aircraft were shown on Tori's laptop.
 * United Airlines and US Airways aircraft were also seen in the promo as well.06_Locked_Up!.jpg
 * In the promo, one of the prisoners said, "Give me your sevens." However, that line was cut from the episode for an unknown reason.
 * This is the third time Cat's PearPad appears. The first time was in Tori Gets Stuck, the second time was in Prom Wrecker.
 * Part 2 is the only episode so far where Tori does not post status updates. This is because she's in jail and cell phones cannot be used.
 * Sikowitz calls Robbie "Urkel", which is a reference to Steve Urkel, a clumsy and nerdy character from the television program, Family Matters.
 * The "duck truck" is a 1954 Ford F-Series.
 * When the gang escapes from the prison, it is very similar to a scene in The Sound of Music where the Von Trapp family runs away after a musical number and a prison guard notices that they're gone.
 * Festus mentions on TheSlap that he wished he could have a truck at Pacific Coast Academy, the school that was the main setting of Dan Schneider's earlier show, Zoey 101.
 * This is the only time Tori checked her voice to see if she really sounds like a 1940s movie star.
 * When Tori is checking her voice, it's actually Elizabeth Gillies saying the line.
 * According to Dan Schneider on DanWarp, when André was craving for salt, Leon actually ate sugar instead of the real thing.
 * Of the three Victorious specials to date, as well as iParty with Victorious, this one is the only one to serve as a lead-in to a new episode of another Nickelodeon show (in this case, Bucket and Skinner's Epic Adventures).
 * In Dan's blog, he says that it was Victoria's idea to say "Come on buddy!" to end the scene when Festus gave her his long phone number.
 * Ending Tagline: Robbie: "There was a grenade in my toilet!"
 * In the penultimate scene when the guards discover that the gang has escaped and everyone goes frantic, the alarm heard is the same fire alarm used in previous episodes of Dan's shows (such as the Drippin' Episode in Zoey 101 and iWanna Stay with Spencer on iCarly).
 * Dan Schneider posted on his blog that the reason we see Jade and André bolt offstage after Tori hits the chancellor in the eye is because the actors who play them, Elizabeth Gillies and Leon Thomas lll, were under 18 at the time and child labor laws prevented them from working past a certain time limit/number of hours.
 * This is the first time Holly Vega and David Vega appear in Season 2.
 * There was also no mention of Festus or his brother in future episodes regarding the lock up, although that may still occur.
 * The room keys they are given are screwdrivers, this could be a reference to Rugrats.
 * This episode offended many viewers as it takes place in the middle of a war.
 * When Tori's shoe comes off and hits the chancellor while performing, it may be a reference to Monster High when Frankie's lower leg part came off during fearleading tryouts and hit the coach.
 * Yerba might be a parody of Iran.

Running Gags

 * Yerbanians sniffing the students' hands.

Goofs

 * When everyone goes to the chancellor to try and get Tori out of jail, André has a large lump on his neck because of the bite from the vampire moth. But in the next scene, the lump is gone, and there is no mention of it from that point on.
 * Sikowitz says he will drive the students to the border of Yerba. However, as Yerba is an island, this would be impossible.
 * When the gang was incarcerated, they all more than likely had their cell phones stripped from them. How did Sikowitz get them back?
 * When Tori's shoe flies off her foot and hits the chancellor, by looking closely one can tell that the shoe hits his eye patch and not his working eye.
 * When Robbie crawls into bed with the girls, he comes up from the bottom. But if you look closely, the blankets appear to be tucked in.
 * Also, Trina and Cat move apart right before Robbie crawls up, even though they were closer before then.
 * Tori's high heel flung off of her foot to the chancellor. However, Tori's heel is clearly seen to have a strap on it, so even if she could kick it off, it probably wouldn't hit far enough to the chancellor.
 * When Tori walks behind Festus's truck you see her foot stop moving from under the truck while Cat and André talk. Then when the camera goes on Tori she keeps walking like she only came around the corner of the truck.
 * In the opening credits for this episode, the scenes were supposed to have what were in this one. But there was a scene of Cat from Prom Wrecker.
 * Tori first got their keys to the room so that they couldn't have got in to their rooms yet, But Trina and Robbie said that they've seen their rooms, However, Tori didn't gave them their keys yet.
