Opposite Date

Opposite Date is the third episode of Season 4 of Victorious and the 50th episode overall, confirmed by Dan Schneider on Twitter. Dan also posted a video that is part of the episode. This episode has the highest viewer ratings for this season.

Plot
Tori, Beck, André and Robbie decide to go to a museum together to see a giant bone, but André and Robbie back out. Tori and Beck realize it will just be the two of them but are afraid it will seem like a date, so they decide to make it an "opposite date" by dressing casually and eating bad food. At the lockers, Tori tells Cat about her plans but asks her to keep it a secret. However, when Cat is talking to Jade, she accidentally tells her about it.

The next night, Tori and Beck go on their 'opposite date' and get bad seafood from a truck. Jade, impersonating Cat, calls Tori to find out where she and Beck are, but then Jade and Cat are stuck in traffic and can't get to them in time. Afterwards, Tori and Beck take Beck's aunt's dog, Buster, to an animal hospital. The others in the waiting room hear Tori and Beck's conversation about Jade. They start asking him questions about his relationship with Jade and his friendship with Tori, but are interrupted when Jade comes in. Beck and Tori quickly try to explain, thinking that she's mad, but Jade says she's not. She tells Beck that he can hang out with Tori, or anyone, if he wants to. Beck tells her that's cool, and they smile at each other.

Subplot
Robbie and André go to extremes to win two of the three PearPad 3s being given away. They accidentally fall over while recording a video for it. Sinjin was filming and could have helped them, but he quickly abandoned them on his bike when he got a call saying that 'they found his mom in Mexico'. They stay stuck on their backs for a long time. Also, Robbie keeps on saying the PearPad 3 has a slightly better screen, aggravating André to the point that André threatens to physically harm Robbie.
