Wanko's Warehouse

"That's right. Looks like we have a long night of snuggling ahead of us."

- Sinjin to Tori.

Wanko's Warehouse (also known as The Warehouse in UK & Ireland) is the 1st episode of Season 4 of Victorious and the 48th episode overall. It first aired on September 22nd, 2012 in the United States. This is the Season 4 premiere of Victorious.

Plot
Trina tells everyone that there is a sale at Wanko's Warehouse, and they all set out to go. They find out that the big sale is going to be at 7 AM, not 7 PM. They find out there is a long line for a sale, so they sneak into Wanko's to be the first ones in for the big sale. They plan on hiding in bins until the store closes, so they can walk around the store and pick out items in advance. But the store has security cameras and alarm lasers (which if crossed would set off an alarm and notify the police). The gang figures that they can shut the off the lasers at the security panel at the front of the store. Everyone slides Robbie under the lasers, because he's skinny and flat enough for it. While Robbie finds his way out to the panel, he runs into twin burglars who plan to rob the store. The others begin to get hungry, and once Jade asks for a sandwich, Cat crosses the lasers to get Jade a sandwich which sets off the alarm. Everyone (except Robbie, who was still away with the robbers) cover their heads with bins so they and Robbie can leave the store without being caught by the cameras.

Subplot
While Robbie tries to find a way out, he runs into twins named Billy and Barney Triplet, who plan on robbing the store, and they force him to stay. They try to convince Robbie to steal the money, but Robbie refuses. Robbie also hangs out with them after they seemingly accept him and compliment him on his walky talky, as opposed to making him feel bad about it like his friends. In doing this, he ignores Andre and Jade repeatedly calling for him on the walky talky. After Cat sets off the alarm and the gang runs past with bins on their heads, the robbers try to keep Robbie hostage as he attempts to run with his friends, but Beck and Andre push them off of him and the gang escapes.

 * Wanko's Warehouse is parody of IKEA.
 * Dan Schneider tweeted that he'll be working on inside jokes for this episode.
 * When Andre says that he can't take it and asks how long they've been there and Beck said "Twelve minutes," this is similar to when Carly, Sam, and Freddie were stuck in a space pod and Sam said she couldn't stand being in the space pod and asked how long they've been here and Carly says "Nine minutes" in iCarly episode "iSpaceOut."

 * This is the first time in Season 4 that an iCarly episode is said. Andre said I Can't Take it. This episode could have references to iCarly's iCan't Take It.
 * This episode has a reference to the episode Terror on Cupcake Street. When Robbie tries to calculate how many hours until the store opens and Andre yells "About nine hours!" has a reference to when Robbie tried calculating how many hours until their cupcake float had to be on the parade, Andre yells "4 hours!"
 * This is the second episode that a main character says Oh! in a deep voice, the first being Jade in The Worst Couple
 * Rex does not appear in this episode, but his laugh is heard briefly in the opening scene as Robbie's ringtone when Trina sends out the mass text.
 * This is also the third time Rex has been absent. First in Car, Rain, and Fire, and second in The Blonde Squad.
 * This is the third time a main character has been absent two times in a row. First Two Being Trina in Season 1 and Beck in Season 2
 * Robbie says "I was born this way!", which might be a reference to Lady Gaga's song called Born This Way.
 * Ending Tagline - Sinjin: "Looks like we have a long night of snuggling ahead of us."

 * When they first enter Wanko's, the voice on the loudspeaker which says, "Attention Wanko's shoppers, you are now shopping at Wanko's" is played by Dan Schneider.

 * Beck: The generic tri-tone
 * Jade: Breaking glass
 * Robbie: Rex saying 'Ha'
 * Andre: Guitar strum
 * Cat: Honking
 * Cat saying "Dude, not cool" to Tori is a reference to iCarly in iFight Shelby Marx when Spencer slaps Gibby's popcorn out of his hand and Gibby said, "Dude, not cool." to him.
 * According to a tweet from Ariana Grande, when Jade says "I need bins, so this is perfect" it was apparently an ad-lib by Elizabeth Gillies.
 * This is the second time André yells at Robbie for figuring out time. The first time was in Terror on Cupcake Street.
 * It is revealed that Cat goes to church.
 * This is the 5th time the gang has been trapped somewhere. The other 4 times are in Survival of the Hottest, Locked Up!, Terror on Cupcake Street, and The Breakfast Bunch.
 * The end credits show Andre and Tori performing Countdown, from the episode André's Horrible Girl.
 * This is the first season premiere that doesn't feature new opening credits.
 * In the UK this episode has been renamed to 'The Warehouse' because of an innuendo in the name. The episode is also heavily edited to remove all uses off the word "wanko" and all signs that say "wankos" are censored.
 * Almost everyone in this episode are unusually mean to Tori.
 * This is the one and only appearance of the Triplet Twins.

Goofs

 * When they are running outside Wanko's, Beck hits his crotch in the railings, and lets out an audible "Ow" which seems a bit out of character for the situation (it was confirmed by Avan Jogia on Twitter that this wasn't in the script).
 * In How Trina Got In, Robbie doesn't have a phone plan, so it would have been reasonable to get the walkie-talkie. However, Robbie may have just decided to buy the phone plan.
 * The gang entered from the back right section of the store, but they did not check that entrance to see if it also had lasers; they just saw the lasers that were facing the audience and then sat down.
 * The gang could have checked the other aisles to see if there are lasers since the lasers aren't visible by where they were stuck at first
 * When the alarms were set and the gang was freaking out, getting their buckets and high-tailing from the building, Trina yells, "Great idea, Jade," about the buckets. Problem is, Tori is the one who came up with the idea. Plus, if it were her response to them sneaking in in general, it would have been extremely late.
 * The gang probably would have gotten in more trouble for stealing the bins than just sneaking in.
 * When Tori grabs the walkie-talkie off the shelf, she doesn't have to unwrap it from the packet. However, when Robbie brought it over, it wasn't unwrapped and nobody unwrapped it. (He could have already bought it before they hid out in the bins).
 * Even if the gang used the bins to escape the cameras, the license plate on their SUV would have been seen.
 * When Tori threw Robbie the walkie-talkie her hand slightly hit the laser. You can see it if you look very closely.
 * Its quite unusual for a large store like Wanko's to not have security cameras on the inside, but to have them in the parking lot, as Beck said. However, this may just be the case of Wanko's.
 * It is kind of idiotic to have a touch panel for a Security System, and to have it out in the open like the way it was. People can just break in at any time.
 * The whole gang went out the front, However, the triplet twins came in from a different direction. Robbie could have told them to go the way the twins came in.
 * With laser beams all around Wanko's, it is unknown how the triplet twins got into the store without setting off the alarms. It is possible that they got in the same way the gang did, but how they didn't set off the alarm is still unknowm.
