iRememberYou

Cold Open:
The episode opens in black and white. Carly is alone in the iCarly studio. She stares directly into the webcam. “If anyone sees this... don’t look for us. Please.” Static. Cut to black.

Act One: The Absence
The episode begins “normally” but off. The tone is gray, lighting dimmer than usual. Freddie hasn’t been seen in weeks. Sam is missing. Carly insists everything is fine, but Spencer is worried. The web show hasn’t aired in over a month. Carly avoids the subject. In a tense dinner scene, Spencer tries to talk to her about it, but Carly only says, “You don’t remember, do you?”

That night, Spencer finds an old camcorder in the vents of the apartment—something he didn’t put there. When he rewinds the footage, he sees flickering, low-resolution video of Freddie crying in the studio, screaming for help. Behind him, in the darkness, a tall, thin figure blinks into frame. Freddie turns around. The tape cuts out.

Act Two: The Studio
Spencer confronts Carly. She screams at him not to watch the tapes. "They're HIS now. You’ll bring HIM back!" She runs and locks herself in her room.

Spencer, concerned and scared, calls Gibby, who arrives the next morning. They decide to investigate the iCarly studio. It’s cold inside. Too cold. The lights flicker. Equipment is smashed. The floorboards creak even when no one is moving.

They find more tapes, hidden in drawers and air vents. Each one more disturbing. One shows Sam walking down the hallway of Ridgeway at night, whispering nonsense into her phone before vanishing mid-step. Another shows a reverse playback of iCarly episodes—but the laughter track is replaced by low growling.

They watch the final tape, which begins with Carly holding the camera, saying “I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to film him. I didn’t know he’d... follow us back.”

The camera pans to the mirror behind her. There’s no reflection.

Act Three: iAmNowhere
That night, Gibby goes missing. Spencer finds a pile of his clothes in the studio. No blood. No signs of struggle. Just his phone, playing a distorted clip of the iCarly theme song on loop. The lyrics are warped:
"I know... you see... something terrible in me..."

Spencer goes to Carly’s room, but she’s gone. Just the same message scrawled in marker on the walls over and over:
“HE WAS WATCHING. THROUGH THE SCREENS.”

Suddenly, Spencer hears footsteps. His breath fogs in the air. He turns to the computer monitor, which powers on by itself. The iCarly logo appears, but it’s slowly burning, melting, like celluloid catching fire.

From behind the screen, a skeletal hand reaches through the monitor frame...

Final Scene: The Broadcast
We return to the cold open. Carly, pale and gaunt, looks into the camera one last time.
"Whatever's behind the screen... it feeds on attention. Don’t post. Don’t stream. Just... forget us."
A shadow passes behind her.
She looks up, terrified, as the feed glitches violently—
Her mouth opens, and the scream is silent.

Cut to black.

End credits:
No music. Just the flickering sound of a CRT television turning off. One final frame of white text:

“Episode not found.”
