Summary
Very much a filler episode that brought back Josh in a desperate attempt to bait audiences with nostalgia.
What more do I need to say about this episode? The a plot is a rivalry between Josh Peck’s Paul and Freddie, played by Nathen Kress, and the b plot is about Harper, played by Laci Mosley, losing her mojo and Spencer, played by Jerry Trainor, facing off against a food critic who is actually an art critic. My, my what delights.
The a plot has a few amusing quips from Carly, played by Miranda Cosgrove, but basically boils down to a cliché jealous love triangle, not in a romantic sense, and a vague excuse to bring back Cosgrove’s co-star from Drake and Josh which reeks of desperation; but hey at least it wasn’t the other one they brought back.
The b plot goes nowhere and does nothing interesting with Spencer or Harper, it basically just kills time until the end. Spencer’s silliness is again dialled up too high to try and make this subplot more interesting but it doesn’t move the needle.
Overall, a weak episode that is clearly filler.
Pros
Carly has a few amusing lines
It is fine to have on in the background whilst doing other things
Cons.
The gimmicky return of Josh Peck
The jealousy arc is cliched and dull
The b storyline feels like filler
