The Blonde Squad

The Blonde Squad is the 14th episode of Season 3 of Victorious. It was originally scheduled to air on June 23rd, 2012, but was pushed back to air on June 30th, 2012.

Plot
Tori, Jade, and Cat decide to go to Nozu after a day of filming Beck's new movie called "The Blonde Squad," but don't take off their blonde wigs and their blue contacts because Tori wants to know what it's like to be blonde. At Nozu Cat meets a cute boy named Evan Smith on her way to the bathroom. After talking to him for 5 hours, she forgets to tell him she is a red-headed, brown-eyed girl. Tori and Robbie tell her that she is beautiful, and when Cat talks to Robbie about Evan, Robbie gets jealous. During lunch, Jade checks Evan's SplashFace profile, and shows that all of his ex-girlfriend's are blondes, he likes blonde girls, and dislikes people not being theirselves. On the night of the premiere of Beck's movie, Jade and Tori expect Cat to be herself, but Cat walks in to meet Evan wearing her blonde wig, which Robbie helped her with, and blue contacts. During the movie, André's grandmother's pet bird (see subplot) lands on Cat's wig, which begins to come out of her hair. Beck pauses the movie, and Tori and Robbie chase Cat out. After they get out, the bird flies off of Cat's wig. Cat begs Robbie to fix her wig, but Tori tells him no. Robbie takes Cat into a room to take off her wig, and when Evan comes out, he tells Cat she is beautiful, but he is only into blondes. This breaks Cat's heart. Robbie performs his song "I Think You're Swell" to Cat in the end, though she only responds by saying that maybe she should dye her hair blonde.

Subplot
Beck directs a play called "The Blonde Squad", which stars 3 blonde girls. The play also stars Andre's grandmother's pet bird Larry. When André let's Larry out for air, he flies out into the studio. André tries to catch him using bird seeds, but it doesn't work and he catches Sinjin instead of the bird with the seeds, this leads to Sinjin's addiction to the bird food. In the end, Andre is seen trying to catch the bird. It is unknown if the bird is caught, though his Slap page indicates that Larry hasn't been caught yet.
