One Thousand Berry Balls is the 7th episode of Season 4 of Victorious and the 54th episode overall. It aired on December 8th, 2012, the fifth lowest amount of viewers for a Victorious episode.
Robbie wants to ask Cat to their school's cowboy luau, the Cow Wow, but Cat feels awkward about it and attempts to run away from him. Eventually, when he catches up with her, he tells her he is going with Gabriella so she doesn't have to run away from him anymore. This greatly disturbs a jealous Cat, and she throws a chair against the wall in the Black Box Theater. Cat later tells Jade that she doesn't want to go to the Cow Wow with Robbie, but at the same time she really likes him and doesn't want him to go to the dance with a different girl.
At the Cow Wow, Cat sees Robbie with Gabriella, so she takes Sinjin and dances with him so that Robbie would notice and become jealous. Sinjin then kicks Cat in the head when going for a dance move, knocking Cat out. When she regains consciousness, she asks Robbie, who had come to her aid after she got kicked, to stay with her. After Tori and Andre's song, Robbie asks Cat if she wants to know a secret and kisses her. Shocked, she runs away from him and rides her bike home.
Subplot
André gets Tori a job at the yogurt shop he works at, Yotally Togurt, because she needs to make some money. Tori and Andre eventually get the task of having to give out 1,000 Berry Balls (hence the title). However, because of the strange outfit Tori has to wear in addition to the Berry Balls looking weird, Tori has a very hard time giving them out. Eventually Tori solves this problem by sticking them all in her hat, but the balls start to melt and drip all over her face. She tells the manager that it's alot of mascara and Andre carries her out, saying that he's taking her to the "Mascara clinic". The two of them manage to make it to the Cow Wow in time to sing Here's 2 Us.
Sinjin's sock puppets makes their first appearance in the series.
Ariana Grande tweeted about Cat wearing pigtails for this episode.
This is the third time Cat has worn pigtails. The first time being in Wok Star and the second in April Fools Blank. (fourth depending if the group's flashbacks in The Great Ping Pong Scam are counted)
The music video of Here's 2 Us was shown on TheSlap before the episode aired.
This is the second kiss that Robbie and Cat share in the series. The first was in Stage Fighting.
Though it happened twice, no one in gang saw them when they did it. In Stage Fighting when Cat kissed Robbie, they were alone in the lunch table and in this episode, the rest of the gang is on the roof and Cat and Robbie are below them out of their view.
This is the second episode in a row that is mostly about Jade, Andre, and Robbie (because Jade is back together with Beck, Tori and Andre are working and singing together, and Cat gets jealous of Robbie's date).
Ending Tagline: "A wiener?" - Tori
Because of the promo and the link of the episode, many Robbie fans speculated this to be the episode where Robbie and Cat finally become a couple.
This is the second episode with a scene where Robbie is wearing Matt Bennett's glasses instead of his own. The first was the final scene Robbie was in, "Tori Tortures Teacher."
Goofs
Even though the boss bought Tori's and Andre's story, mascara cannot fall from their forehead. It is unknown why he didn't realize it.
It is unknown why Trina is not seen at the Cow Wow. Even though she likes to party (as revealed on Ice Cream for Ke$ha). On the other hand, she may dislike the Cow Wow in general.
Robbie says that he needs to ask Cat something but tells her that he is going out with Gabriella and that Cat didn't need to run away from him anymore.
He could have planned to ask Cat before she ran away from him and then decided to ask Gabriella afterwards.
In the scene where Robbie confronts Cat in the Blackbox Theatre, Matt Bennett is wearing his own glasses instead of Robbie's glasses.
(Cat is talking to Jade and trying to avoid Robbie, when he enters) Jade: Well, think fast, because here he comes. Cat: Quick, hide me! Jade: Where, Cat, in my bra? Cat: Oh! (looks) No, that'll never work.
Robbie: I just wanted to talk to her, she ran away from me! Why would a girl do that?
(Jade walks away) Robbie: Yeah, but you walked away.
Robbie: You don't have to keep running away from me. I already asked Gabriella to be my date to the Cow Wow. Cat: Gabriella? Robbie: Mmmhmm. Cat: Well, what'd she say? Robbie: She said "Si". Cat: That means yes! Robbie: I know! I looked it up. Cat: (giggles) Well, yay! You got yourself a pretty girl to take to the Cow Wow. Robbie: Yeah. Well, I just wanted to let you know you don't have to run away from me anymore. Cat: (giggles) Thanks, Robbie. Robbie: See you in class. Cat: K.
(Robbie leaves, whistling. Cat takes a chair and hurls it against the wall) Cat: Gabriella...!
[After Tori looks through her locker] Andre: Looking for something? Tori: Yes...do you have it? Andre: Do you mean do I have it right here in this pocket? Tori: Yes! Do you? Andre: Nah, I'm just messing with you.
[After Tori spits out the counter cleanser at the mall] Andre: It's her first time... eating cleanser.
[When the berry balls start to melt onto Tori's face] Mr Moony: So, is that T-o-r-i...or T-o-r-y... Tori: Uh, yeah! Mr. Moony: What's happening? Andre: She's crying... Tori: I'm crying, I'm so happy to be getting $100 and my mascara is dripping... Mr. Moony: How much mascara are you wearing?
Tori: Okay, I will pay you $1 if you take one of these disgusting berry balls. [The boy takes the money and runs away] Tori: Hey! We had a deal!!!
[Tori asking about the berry balls flavor] Tori : And what flavor is that? Mr Moony: Green.
