André has been wearing lots of fancy new clothes lately, and when his friends ask about it, they are introduced to
Hope and ad

Hope dissing Andre

André's new girlfriend, Hope Quincy. Hope is very conceited, controlling and has been dictating what André wears. After meeting Tori, Beck, Robbie, and Rex, she invites Tori to spend lunch with her and André. At the sushi place, Tori gets a bigger taste of Hope's bad attitude and sees how that attitude affects André, who says Hope will "kill him" if he doesn't get her order right and acts very nervous about her. The gang, Tori in particular, feel that André's new girlfriend is bossy and worries about what he has to do to please her. Later, on the day of Hope's birthday party, André shows up at Tori's house very upset and morally conflicted. He admits to Tori that he doesn't really want to date Hope. The only reason André hasn't broken up with her yet, is because her dad is Shawn Quincy, an influential music producer, and he wants him to hear some of his songs. Tori urges André to do the right thing and break up with Hope before Hope's birthday party at Nozu, where he will be singing for her dad. He does, but Hope, afraid of being embarrassed in front of her guests, still wants him to sing at the party. Hope then has a tantrum because she wanted spicy tuna. André and Tori perform the song Countdown,[3] and Shawn Quincy seems to like it. The 2012 California Earthquake forms, damaging the restaurant, and a sign falls on Hope's head when she tries to save her birthday presents, making her lose consciousness. Instead of going to the hospital with Hope, Shawn stays with Tori and André to hear Countdown again.


Because Jade has no one to hang out with due to her and Beck's break-up, she invites herself to join Cat, who is dog-sitting for Carl Gibbons, her mom's wealthy boss. She makes Cat think that them spending time together was her idea, and posts on TheSlap that she has a date to make Beck jealous. However, while there, Jade starts touching a lot of things, such as a human skull and Elvis Presley's signed guitar that Mr. Gibbons has hanging from the ceiling. The hanging fixtures on the guitar abruptly snap after Jade messes with it, breaking the instrument into two pieces and also shattering a window. Cat then calls Robbie to come over and fix it, and he brings Beck with him. They call a window repair company, and the guitar and window are fixed.

Robbie then goes to check out the antique human skull Jade was looking at earlier. Jade tells him to put it back and they fight over the it, but the skull ends up falling out of their hands and breaking the glass coffee table. Moreover, the guitar falls from the ceiling again, destroying a lamp and receiving damage again. Cat begins to cry, thinking they will get in a lot of trouble and her mom will be fired, and Mr. Gibbons rings the bell, asking to come in since he forgot his key. Cat, still sad and worried, responds with a "Kay-kay" and pushes the button which opens the door.

Suddenly the 2012 California Earthquake occurs (see plot above) and more things break. Mr. Gibbons comes in and asks if everyone is alright, thinking that all the destruction was caused by the earthquake, and is glad that Coober (the puppy) is fine. Cat is about to tell him to the truth, but Jade, Robbie, and Beck subtly convince her not to.

  • This is the first time André's name has been used in the title of an episode in the show.
  • As of this episode, Robbie is the only main character yet to have his full name featured in an episode title. Only part of his name was used in the title Robarazzi. However, his name was featured in the episode title, Robbie Sells Rex.
  • This is the third episode with a dog in it, the first two being Jade Dumps Beck and Wi-Fi in the Sky.
  • Tori asks Mrs. Lee if she is Chinese or Japanese. This might be a reference to the seventh episode of King of the Hill where the gang asked the same question to Kahn Souphanousinphone (he was Laotian).
  • This episode contains references to Wok Star.
    • Mrs. Lee says she will eventually get her revenge on Tori for what she did to Daisy Lee. This might foreshadow the subplot of How Trina Got In.
    • Mrs. Lee says her restaurant "mysteriously caught fire", but the way she said it implies that she created the fire herself, making her an arsonist and insurance fraudster.
  • Robbie needs, or has a thing for, adult diapers.
  • This episode follows the official breakup of Beck and Jade in The Worst Couple, both of them acting very awkward around each other. She was waiting at Tori’s locker in the beginning, maybe waiting for her to arrive so Tori can comfort her about the breakup.
  • This is the fourth time that Trina has tried to get the attention of a big star by unnecessary means (the others being Wi-Fi in the Sky, The Wood, and The Diddly-Bops). This is the first time in season 3 where she does this.
  • This is the first season 3 episode to have a duet.
  • This is the last episode where Cat's original backpack appears.
  • The promo was filmed after Crazy Ponnie because you can see Tori and André wearing the same clothes at the last scene of the episode.
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Nozu, which is seen in future episodes.
  • Song heard at the beginning of Hope's party, All The Way by Stiletto.
  • Shawn Quincy could be a play on the legendary music producer Quincy Jones.
  • Trey Dirty is a parody of Trey Songz.
  • As a result of the episode's highly isolated plot and subplots, many firsts of character interaction, or lack thereof, occur:


  • When Tori enters Nozu in the first scene after the opening credits, she and André act like they have never been there before, but we know they at least have known about it for a while because it is mentioned in Tori Gets Stuck.
  • When André said that he loved miso soup, you can see a window is blue, when Mrs. Lee came and said hello to Hope, you can see that the window green again.
    • The windows and the bottles to the right of the window are on an automatic color rotation from blue to green to purple and back again. They change colors throughout the episode.
  • Mr. Gibbons should've known that there was something suspicious due to the ladder you see near the window that Robbie was using to attach the guitar to the string.
    • The ladder could've belonged to Mr. Gibbons himself; Jade may have been preparing to use it to rehang the guitar before Robbie and Beck came over. Cat could've explained that she was using it to help herself reach for dog food for Coober but was having trouble putting it back.
  • Despite André's desperation to be signed by Shawn Quincy, Tori already got him signed by a record label in The Diddly-Bops. It could be likely that André was also seeking a collaboration deal or a songwriting deal.
  • It's rather odd that Mrs. Lee was mad at Tori for the events of Wok Star given that it was Jade's play that she put on for little reward.

Running Gags

  • Trina trying to talk to Shawn Quincy. (3 times)
  • Hope saying "Shut up!" in a mean way. (2 times)
  • Jade screaming at Cat.


Many reviews for this episode were very mixed. The majority of the reviews were half and half, negative about the main plot and positive about the subplot, finding the main one to be too rushed with overused plot elements. Conversely, there are those who praised the main story as a fun, fast-paced adventure, giving praise to Tori and André's interactions, while deriding the subplot as slow-paced and relying too much on the characters to advance the story.


Beck: Pretty girl.
Robbie: And generous!
Tori: Yeah, she seems really nice.
André: Thanks. [walks away]
Tori: Raise your hand if you hate her! [raises her hand along with Beck and Robbie]
Beck: I do.
Robbie: Ding!
Rex: Ehh!

Cat: [to Coober] Jade seems really mean, but don't worry she is.

Cat: Yay, we're hanging out together! [goes to hug Jade]
Jade: NO!!!

André: Absolush.
(Beck, Tori, and Robbie react with disgust)

Cat: I'm dog sitting for my mom's boss.
Jade: Oh. What kind of dog?
Cat: I'm not sure. (applies lip gloss) He's got paws and a tail. Maybe he's an English paw-tail! (Jade rolls her eyes) Why? What are you doing Saturday night?
Jade: Oh, what? What, you think just because Beck and I broke up that I don't have any plans Saturday night?
Cat: I didn't say...
Jade: I've got a lot of things I'm going to do. Like, TONS.
Cat: Okay.
Jade: But if you want me to cancel plans, and come help you dogsit, then fine. Fine, I'll do it.
Cat: You don't have to...
Jade: I said I'll do it! But you owe me, babygirl. (walks away)
Cat: Thank you!

Hope: You guys want to come?
Rex: I don't.
Beck: Uh, Robbie and I have a a place.
Robbie: We have a thing at a place?
Beck: ...Shut up...

Mrs. Lee: Oh, it burned down in a mysterious fire. So sad. But then I collected the insurance money and opened up this place.
Tori: But Wok Star was a Chinese restaurant.
Mrs. Lee: Yeah, so?
André: But this is a sushi place, which is Japanese.
Tori: So, are you Chinese or Japanese?
Mrs. Lee: [thumps Tori on the head]
Tori: OW!!

Mrs. Lee: [during earthquake] Everybody get down! I don't have insurance!

Tori: Oh my God!
Mrs. Lee: What? Is he here?!

Mrs. Lee: I have three nice spots for you at the bar. One for Hope, one for Hope's boyfriend, and one for the girl who tried to kill my daughter.

Tori: You want some mashed potatoes?
André: No I don't want any... [reconsiders] Give me the bowl!

Beck: [to window repairman] Thanks for fixing the window.

Robbie: [talking into his PearPhone] I need a window repair company in Beverly Hills.
PearPhone: Checking for... adult diapers.
Robbie: No no, that was my last search!

Hope: See, it looks nice.
Beck: Like a pretty leash.

Beck: I thought you had a date tonight.
Jade: Why did you think that?
Beck: It said so in your Slap page
Jade: Why are you stalking my Slap page?
Beck: Why do you care?
Cat: Why is Robbie's zipper down?

Buzzer: [buzzes]
Robbie: I heard a buzz.
Jade: Zip up your pants.

Tori: [referring to Nozu] Wow! This is a really cool place!
Hope: I know. And they have awesome sushi.
Hope: Miso soup is gross.

André: [knocks on the door]
Tori: Who is it?
André: [continues knocking on the door]
Tori: Are you a criminal?!
André: [from outside] Not really.
Tori: It's open.

Tori: I can't believe you're doing this.
André: [eating mashed potatoes] I'll buy you some more potatoes.

Andre: All right so you're telling me I should dump Hope tonight before I get the chance to sing in front of her dad?
Tori: [nods] If you wanna do the right thing, yes, dump her tonight.
Andre: What if I said you could sing the song with me?
Tori: Dump her tomorrow!

[While Trina is being carried away by a security guard]
Trina: Tori, tell this man you know me!
Tori: And you are?...
Trina: No!...
