"iGoodbye" is the final episode of iCarly, which aired as an hour-long special on November 23, 2012 on Nickelodeon. The episode guest starred David Chisum as Colonel Steven Shay, Spencer and Carly's father.
The episode's premiere airing attracted 6.4 million viewers. The UK premiere attracted 437,000 viewers, the highest the channel has ever received. The Irish viewings were not counted.
Carly is expecting her father, Colonel Shay, to arrive in Seattle to escort her to the Father-Daughter Air Force Dance. She receives an electronic message saying he is unable to come. To comfort her, Spencer asks to take her to the dance, and she accepts. Spencer immediately becomes sick after being sneezed on by Lewbert, the apartment building's doorman, and he is unable to attend the dance. Carly is upset by this development, as this is the last year she will be young enough to attend and had been unable to attend the event with her father for the past four years. Sam convinces Freddie and Gibby to escort Carly to the dance (while Freddie asks if him and Sam want to reunite), but Carly rejects their offer.
Despite his message, Colonel Shay arrives, and escorts Carly to the dance. Afterward, Colonel Shay informs everyone that he has to return to his base in Italy, much to Carly's disappointment as she was looking forward to spending more time with him. Colonel Shay then asks Carly to come with him. She is reluctant to go, but after encouragement from Spencer and her friends (and also Colonel Shay saying there are attractive guys), she decides to go. Carly, Sam, and Freddie head into the studio to film a final webcast where Colonel Shay is presented as a special guest. At the end of the show, Carly and Sam inform their viewers that iCarly will be on a hiatus while Carly is in Italy and (in a nod to viewers of the show) thank their fans for all their support over the years. After the show, Carly packs her things in her room with Spencer, they take the time to say goodbye and Carly thanks Spencer for everything and the siblings share a tearful hug. Up in the studio, Freddie is packing his tech-stuff when Carly stops him by holding his hand and they kiss for the last time before she departs and upon walking out, Freddie raises his hands in triumph.
