Meanwhile, Freddie experiences a streak of "bad luck" after deleting and not forwarding a chain email, passing it off as a superstition. In the end he realizes the bad luck has just been a prank by Sam, so he gets her back by sending her a text message that looks like it came from a popular senior boy, asking her to go to the mall on a date.

When Sam finds that this is true, she makes a broadcast on iCarly encouraging all their fans to donate money to her. However, Carly, Sam, and Freddie find out it's illegal to solicit money to kids over the internet, so Sam grudgingly gets a job to earn the money and pay them back. Meanwhile, Spencer tries to impress an attractive single mom by helping her daughter sell fudge balls (similar to Girl Scout cookies); but two rude older teen scouts steal Spencer's place at the market. Spencer comes up with the idea to send fudge balls to every iCarly fan who sent them money as he mentions in a law book that he kept stating that it is illegal to solicit money from kids unless you provide a product or service in return. Carly and Freddie then hire someone to give the money they earned to Sam in a tip at the restaurant where she is working. Instead of repaying the money to Carly and Freddie, Sam buys a trampoline, which Carly and Freddie enjoy with her.

Carly and Sam warn Freddie that his mom is in love with Lewbert, and much to Freddie's dismay, he finds that this is true. They devise a plan to break up their romantic relationship by having Freddie fake an injury so Mrs. Benson would pay attention to her "injured" son rather than her relationship with Lewbert. Meanwhile, a pesky, disobedient young boy named Chuck (Ryan Ochoa) plays tennis in the lobby and Spencer gets Chuck's father to ground him. Spencer is filling in for Lewbert as the doorman, and using an old CB Radio taunts and angers two truckers named Porkchop and Sledgehammer. Chuck gives the truckers his location through the radio while Spencer leaves his desk, and the truckers arrive just as Lewbert takes his job back. They beat him up, assuming he is Spencer.

The five later parachute into Japan out of an unsanitary possum-filled cargo plane after the pilot literally made them fly "over" Japan. A police officer takes them to their hotel after they land in a barren field. At the hotel, they are visited by Kyoko and Yuki, fellow competitors for the same award. Kyoko and Yuki give Spencer and Mrs. Benson tickets to the Hotel Spa to get seaweed massages, while they take Carly, Sam and Freddie shopping. After confessing they are lost, Kyoko and Yuki pretend to get angry at each other and stage a Kung Fu fight on the sidewalk. They then strand the trio in the middle of nowhere after giving a phony excuse to leave, while Spencer and Mrs. Benson are wrapped in seaweed and trapped at the spa. It turns out, the people giving the massages are Kyoko and Yuki's cousins planned to abandon them there while they go to the awards show "to see Kyoko and Yuki win". Mrs. Benson and Spencer escape and take a taxi to find the lost trio. They reunite and make it to the award show but are apprehended but security. Freddie wires his video camera into the main screen while Carly and Sam try to explain to the security officers what happened by acting, since the guards cannot speak English and Carly/Sam cannot speak Japanese. Since Freddie hooked up the camera to the big screen, the audience can see their silly acting. Thanks to Freddie, iCarly wins the award show due to their performance. Kyoko and Yuki are arrested for kidnapping and the iCarly gang return to America on a fishing boat. Special guests: Good Charlotte as Themselves, Ally Maki as Kyoko, and Harry Shum Jr. as Yuki

The next day at school, Sam is absent, Freddie is not friends with Carly and is dating a rude girl, and, to make things worse, Nevel Papperman (Reed Alexander) is somehow Carly's boyfriend (oddly, even though Carly only met Nevel before because of iCarly, and Nevel does not go to Ridgeway Junior High). Carly questions Mitch about Sam's disappearance, and Carly is taken to the Juvenile Detention Center, where Sam is being held. Carly finds out that Sam is no longer friends with her, either. The reason Sam was arrested is because Spencer saw her as a bad girl and didn't want Carly to be friends with her, so Sam got into trouble without Carly's good influence. Carly returns home and then is told that Mrs. Benson and Spencer are now engaged, making Carly angry at what her life has become. Carly then walks up the stairs and finds out that, the iCarly studio is now just a room filled with boxes. And because Freddie and Sam were never her friends, iCarly never existed, either. Carly cries, learning how much the world would change if Spencer is born normal. Mitch secretly turns her world back to the way it was before, making Spencer abnormal and eccentric again. Carly is now happy with the electromagnetic Christmas tree, and Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Spencer have a good Christmas together in the end.
