#Lumpatious is the 22nd episode of Sam & Cat.

Plot

Sam, Cat, and the boy they're babysitting, Lucas are eating at Bots. Cat is helping him study his vocabulary words. Whilst quizzing him Lucas is unable to remember the word 'projectile', Sam takes one of her sliders and uses it as a projectile hitting Tandy. He remembers the word after Sam's demonstration. Lucas informs them that his mom isn't coming to pick him up today- that his brother Jepsen is. Everyone who knows Jepsen hates him. He picks on everyone and when Jepsen comes to pick up Lucas, he scares Cat. Lucas calls Jepsen "lumpatious." Sam and Cat think this is a real word. Sam says that if they can prove lumpatious is a word in one week, Jepsen has to wear a bikini, and stand somewhere for an hour. Jepsen says that if they lose, they have to drink his sweat.

Sam looks in dictionaries and Cat looks online. They can't find lumpatious. Dice comes in just as Sam accidentally throws a dictionary at Dice in fury. Dice was carrying a huge dictionary. Sam can't find lumpatious. Dice, whose nose was now bleeding, says that if they want to out lumpatious in the dictionary, they'd have to go to Oxnard. They do this and the Word Keepers there say that they have to prove that lumpatious is a word.

At Bots, Cat remembers that someone in Elderly Acres was famous. Sam and Cat run there but it was no use. The famous guy couldn't talk. At Inside-Out Burger, Sam and Cat see Chris Christie in a van. Sam and Cat run up to Chris and make him say "lumpatious." Then, Sam and Cat go back to Oxnard and show the video to the Word Keepers. They add the word to a dictionary and Jepsen has to wear a bikini.

Trivia

• A wacky guy wearing round glasses, a weird hat, and jester costume is hidden in this episode 15 times as part of Nick's Gotta Spot It Saturday event and contest. His name is Weirdo, as revealed in The Lil' Sam & Cat Show #Lumpatious webisode, in the segment titled "Where's Weirdo?" Weirdo appeared 15 times in the actual episode, as confirmed by the official Nick Spot It Recap clip. However, two of those times were in the same location (TV in the Oxnard Dictionary waiting room), so as a result, he appeared only 13 times in the online Spot It Game about him on Nick's website.
• This is the first time that Tandy has said anything besides "Oh no!" since #SalmonCat.
• This is the first time that Sam and Cat are shown babysitting the same kid twice in one episode.
• This is the second time a recurring cast member from Austin & Ally guest stars with Cole Sand in this episode and the other one with Aubrey K. Miller in #MyPoober.
• This episode is the least amount of time of the Apartment 22, being in one scene. This is also the first time the kid they're babysitting (in this case, Lucas) doesn't appear here.

Allusions

• The plot of the episode is similar to the Zoey 101 episode "Drippin' Episode" where Michael tried to make up a new slang word.
• Oxnard = Oxford

Character revelations

• Sam and Cat think "lumpatious" was a real word.
• Tandy can shoot lasers from his arms.

Goofs

• The word "lummox" is misspelled in the closed captions as "lummix."
• Sam & Cat don't provide a definition for "lumpatious", and they couldn't use context clues from the Governor's speech, because a multitude of words could have fit there.
• While Cat says "Well not that we don't like your brother," a guy wearing a flannel shirt walks in. The camera then faces Sam and she says "But we hate him." When the camera faces Cat again, the guy with the flannel shirt walks in again.
• Sam is an Internet celebrity, so they could have recorded her saying "lumpatious".
  • It's most likely than Dan doesn't want Sam (and Cat) past to be very important.
• Sam said that they saw David Schwimmer in a gas station, but in iCarly episode, "iBelieve in Bigfoot," using context clues, David Schwimmer clearly died on Celebrities Underwater.
  • He possibly survived, but wasn't mentioned in the episode.
  • However, it was most likely non-canon, Schwimmer didn't died in real life.
  • He was revealed to be alive in the Victorious episode "Car, Rain and Fire" when Mona Patterson mentioned that she was playing his wife in a new show called "The Dead".

Running gags

• Cat messes up Sam's last name again in this episode. She's calls her Sam "Puckell" in multiple episodes. In #MagicATM, she calls her Sam "Pumpkin". In this episode, she calls her Sam "Pookay".

Series continuity

• When Sam & Cat meet the Word Keepers, Cat addresses them saying "if you please", which she has already said in the Victorious episode "April Fools Blank", as portraying Dorothy from the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz".

• Lumpatious is the word Beck used to describe how he was feeling in the Victorious episode "Victori-Yes".
• A girl says "Why you so stupid?", which is reference from iCarly where Sam has asked Freddie the same question multiple times.
• Sam throwing a slider at Tandy while he was facing away from her was similar to the game Boomba in iCarly's "iParty with Victorious", where Sam threw an orange at Freddie's back.
• Cat fainting when under extreme stress or when she's frightened like in the Victorious episode "The Worst Couple" and in #NewGoat, is brought up again when she faints into her food after Jepsen scares her.
• When the lady at the front desk asks Sam and Cat how their meeting with the Word Keepers went, Cat replies by saying that it was "Suckish". 'Suckish' is a word that has previously been used in other Dan Schneider shows, such as iCarly and Zoey 101.
• One of the toddlers in #ToddlerClimbing was revealed to be from Oxnard, which was mentioned to be a very fancy place.
