It starts when Tori Vega (Victoria Justice) works on a science project about mould with her science partner, then her sister Trina (Daniella Monet) walks in and rehearses for her school's big showcase with a tenth grader named André (Leon Thomas III), who plays the keyboard. On the day of the big showcase, Tori skips school to watch her sister perform. However, when Trina's tongue starts swelling up at the last minute, Tori fills in for her and gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend the elite Hollywood Arts High School, which she accepts. On her first day, Tori meets Robbie (Matt Bennett), a boy who often speaks through his ventriloquist dummy and Cat (Ariana Grande), an eccentric girl who is easily upset. During acting class, a mean girl, Jade (Elizabeth Gillies), pours coffee on Tori's head during an improv session for "flirting" with her boyfriend, Beck (Avan Jogia) (Tori was really just trying to get rid of the coffee she accidentally spilled on him). When she decides she wants to leave, André (who eventually becomes Tori's best friend) and Trina convince her she shouldn't give up just because of Jade. On her second day, during a game of alphabet improv, Tori gets back at Jade by messing her up and kissing Beck. Notes: Nickelodeon promoted this episode as a "sneak preview" following the 2010 Kids' Choice Awards, earning 5.7 million viewers, making it the highest rated premiere for a live-action Nickelodeon series.[2] It was previously reported that the Victorious premiere was second in ratings to the Big Time Rush premiere.[3] But Dan Schneider stated on his official blog that Nickelodeon made an error making that report. The original broadcast of this episode was an extended cut, all subsequent airings had various scenes and lines were removed to conform to its time-slot. The extended cut version can be downloaded on iTunes and will be featured on the iCarly DVD "iSpace Out". | ||||||
