Survival of the Hottest

Survival of the Hottest is the 8th episode of the Season One of Victorious.

Plot
A heat wave hits the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and the students at Hollywood Arts are looking for a way to cool off. Tori suggests the gang head to Venice Beach, so Beck volunteers to take everyone in his Airstream RV. Once there, Cat leaves to find a bathroom 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 70,000-pound van 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. So she goofs off and hangs around the guys while the rest of the gang are trapped. They get no response to Cat via phoning her, and begin to thirst. Jade points out Beck's fish tank, and asks when was the last time he washed the tank, Beck replying "You're supposed to wash it?" (insisting that he never washed the tank) Tori finds out that Trina had a bottle of water the whole time, and is angry that she didn't share it, but what remains is literally one more swallow. Tori decides to share it through a cap, with only one tongue dip allowed. Tori and Andre take their dips, but Robbie ends up swallowing the whole rest of the water after taking his dip, leaving Jade, Beck, and Trina with no chance to dip. Jade overreacts when she sweats for the first time, and insists they escape the RV. Tori recalls this obviously true, mistakenly expressing Jade as "Catherine Obvious" (actually Captain Obvious). Robbie is being tortured by the fish inside Beck's fish tank, and conclusively decides to drink of 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. Andre assures everyone that his grandma 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 RV. The cooler is opened and everyone gets a water bottle, except Robbie and Cat. 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.
