Overview

Carly returns home sick after a trip and discovers that One Direction has accepted an invitation to perform on their web show. Not long after arriving, bandmate Harry becomes sick and we see Carly doting over him. Realizing Harry is playing sick for the attention, they hatch a plan to get him back in the group by telling him Gibby has become their newest band member.

Summary

After a vacation to Mexico, Carly gets a sickness called “Jungle Worms”. She feels better after two days, but is still contagious. One Direction's manager emails Freddie that they are in the Seattle area and want to preform on iCarly.

Carly has her own separate water bottle so she won't get anyone sick. After rehearsing their performance, Gibby (who is a major fan of the group) asks them awkwardly to sign his scrapbook who he claims to be his made-up sister "Girlby's" scrapbook, after that, Harry gets thirsty and drinks out of Carly's water bottle by accident. After Harry drinks from Carly’s bottle, he gets her germs and catches Jungle Worms. Carly was taking care of him by bringing him everything he needs and treats him sweetly. Because of Carly's treatment for him, even when he got better he pretended he was still sick.

Carly, Sam, Freddie and the rest of One Direction later meet at the Groovy Smoothie to discuss stuff about Harry and the iCarly show, then they discover he is faking so they planned to make him think that he is replaced by Gibby and tells them that he is feeling better. The episode ends with One Direction singing “What Makes You Beautiful”. After the song, Sam kidnaps Zayn and pushes him into the elevator.
