#Pilot is the first episode of the American television series Sam & Cat. The show premiered on June 8, 2013, on Nickelodeon. It stars Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande playing their respective characters from the previous series from where the two leads were taken.

Sam Puckett (McCurdy) from iCarly sends a text message to her friend Cat Valentine (Grande) from Victorious to ask if she can babysit for a client looking for a sitter to take care of her kid. Unbeknownst to her, the woman is a notorious criminal called the "Babysitting Bandit," who uses babysitters to help her commit crimes.

Sam and Cat get stuck in a balancing act to take care of the baby while at the same time avoiding the police who suspect that they are accomplices to the crime. Meanwhile, Dice (Cameron Ocasio) is trying to get a fish-out-of-water from a giant lobster truck that has become stuck in a hole. Nona (Maree Cheatham), Cat's grandmother, provides the two girls with comic relief throughout the episode.

When Sam and Cat learn who their client is, they try to escape with the baby, but she catches up with them and steals their motorcycle. They then use a group of children to create a diversion in order to distract the woman and take back the baby. Once that is done, their unexpected heroics gain them many rave reviews, and a notorious babysitting reputation is born.

The episode is a fantastic introduction to the show's characters and their world. Sam is the tough, sassy character that fans of iCarly know well, while Cat is the sweet, innocent, and quirky girl fans of Victorious have grown to love. The first episode does not depict how the two met; however, it does give an idea of how the two girls could become a formidable and hilarious team.

The show's humor is tongue-in-cheek, bordering on the absurd at times, which makes many of the jokes laugh-out-loud funny. The series keeps its focus on the friendship between the two leading ladies and their adventures in babysitting. Viewers get to see Sam's mischievous behavior to a more significant extent, while still admiring her loyalty and willingness to help people in need. Cat's quirky behavior will have fans falling for her right off the bat, with her loving nature and eagerness to please everyone.

The show's enthusiasm is genuinely contagious, and fans will love the antics these two get up to, while at the same time being in awe of the girls' fearless attitude as they try to right the wrongs of a notorious criminal. The two lead characters show their chemistry and teamwork early on, making their bandit-catching adventures a lot easier for them to handle.

In conclusion, the first episode of Sam & Cat is a fantastic start to the series. With its foolishness and sincerity, the show delivers a positive message about doing what is morally correct through humor and an endless amount of fun. Fans will enjoy seeing their favorite characters back on their screens, making new concepts of the world built around them. It will undoubtedly keep fans of both tremendously successful series entertained and laughing throughout.
