In the brand new episode of "iCarly" titled "iBalls", after Carly has to head to Yakima for the weekend, Freddie decides he wants to be a creative member of the "iCarly" team which includes him wanting to perform on the show. Freddie wants to co-host the show with Sam while Gibby Gibson (portrayed by Noah Munck) works the camera. Things, however, go awry as no one thinks his skit is funny. Sam convinces Freddie to try out more 3-D effects which he does. This later messes up people's vision. Freddie is soon reassured that he is creative when he cures the vision of a young girl with an eye condition. Meanwhile, Spencer hires a personal assistant named Marty.
