IMake New Memories

"I want to be with you."

- Carly to Freddie iMake New Memories is the third episode of Season 3 of iCarly (2021), and the 26th episode overall. It premiered on June 8, 2023.

Plot
The episode starts with Carly and Freddie finishing up an episode of iCarly and Spencer asks Carly how she is doing due to her growing feelings for Freddie. Carly tries to hide her sadness that Freddie told her they need to be friends, despite Freddie flirting with Carly. Spencer shows Carly and Freddie his new sculpture which he calls Memory Lane but it explodes, which makes Carly's phone break. She realises she has a backup device, but Spencer used it on his sculpture. Freddie tells Carly they can recreate thee memories with Spencer's help. Spencer temporally turns Shay What back into The Groovy Smoothie to recreate the time Carly worked there. The song Meant For Me plays in the background and Carly and Freddie recognise it from the time they danced to the song after the failed school dance. Freddie nervously asks Carly to dance and they almost kiss until Spencer comes in and pulls them apart.

Carly is scared that Freddie won't feel the same way she does about him if she tells him how he feels, but decides to recreate the time he visited her in Italy. Freddie however, is mad that Carly recreated "the worst night of his life" - Freddie was going to ask Carly to be his girlfriend but she laughed at the idea of them being a couple, back then. The two fight about their past and Freddie angrily leaves, leaving Carly in tears and Spencer comforts her. The following night, Freddie comes into Spencer's apartment and finds comfort in Spencer. Freddie, crying, tells Spencer he was mad at Carly because he is so stuck in the past when she rejected him. Spencer tells Freddie Carly is freaked out their friendship is ruined and left a note for him in the studio. Freddie runs upstairs to find Carly standing by the arch and the pictures restored by Socko. Carly tells Freddie he deserves to know how she feels about him, but is scared in case she is rejected. Freddie grabs her hand and tells her she can do it. Carly, crying, tells Freddie she likes him and that she wants to be with him. Freddie tells her their friendship is not a consolation prize and is afraid of losing her. Carly tells Freddie not matter what, he never will lose her. The two share a kiss and finally become a real couple and get back together (since ISaved Your Life) as they share a very passionate, second kiss. The episode ends with Spencer going over the "event" and Carly and Freddie kiss again, much to Spencer and Millicent's dismay.

Subplot
Meanwhile, Millicent asks for Harper's help with Marissa's wedding dress. Marissa has brought a brown dress that has "naughty girl" on it and Harper hates it so daws up a new one for Marissa who has decided against it after Freddie has seen it.
