Episode Summary

Trina's birthday is a big deal in her world and because of this, Tori struggles to find the perfect birthday gift for Trina. André suggests that she writes a song, so as a gift from the heart. She then decides to write an amazing pop song for Trina as a present. However, an ungrateful Trina decides to turn her birthday gift into cash by selling the song, because she thinks it isn't an actual gift since Tori didn't spend any money on it. Meanwhile, Robbie is asked by his grandmother to teach her about computers, and Cat decides to tag along. She regrets it, however, when Robbie's Grandmother shows a deep dislike of her.

  • Trina was so darn selfish in this episode and it really got me furious

    4.5
    This was just a poor episode of "Victorious". I would have enjoyed this episode a whole lot more if it wasn't for Trina being such a selfish sister. Come on!!! Tori wrote a song for Trina as a birthday present from her heart and Trina keeps saying that a song is not a present. I just wanted to punch Trina so darn hard and I hated her the most in this episode. The rest of the episodes she is good or alright but this is the only episode where I probably really hated her. She only takes Tori's song and she gets the credit that she the song when Tori is the one who actually sang it. Trina is the absolutely worst sister ever and if I were Tori... I wouldn't bother buying Trina her birthday present at all and I don't care how Trina acts, she doesn't deserve squat. My score was still wasn't as low as it should be because there were some scenes that were very funny. I thought Robbie and Cat's subplot was hilarious when the two of them went to Robbie's grandmother's house so Robbie can fix the computer. I thought it was hilarious when Robbie's grandmother could tell insult Cat about her red hair and everything else. Robbie presenting his project to the class and his grandmother yelling to his grandfather on the computer and humiliating Robbie was very funny as well. Also, I loved the song that Tori sang for Trina's birthday (which Trina didn't deserve at all). The ending was okay but I'm glad that they didn't give Trina coffee or anything of that. Overall, selfish and horrible sister Trina really ruined this score and that's what made this a poor episode of "Victorious". 4.5/10moreless

    Wow, a really good episode of Victorious tonight. When I read the premise for the episode, I really wasn't that excited but this episode was actually pretty great. The interactions between Tori & Trina were really outstanding and I just was incredibly surprised at Trina's reactions to the song.



    It was nice to see Tori & Trina's parents and everyone having to stand outside in the rain under an umbrella was hilarious. Victoria Justice really does have some talent, and I'm really surprised they never showcased her talent on Zoey 101, but I digress.



    Robbie & Cat interactions were superior. Loved the grandma bit, and I found myself laughing all the way through, especially because of Cat. Overall, just a great installment of Victorious.moreless

    Trina wants a present from Tori, and Tory writes a song for her. But Trina declares it is not a present because it did not cost anything. She sells a demo of it for 500 dollars. Will Tori and Trina make up?



    Um, wow. I never knew how selfish Trina could be, and for me, her selfishness was far from funny. Her saying "Then it's not a present" was so snobby i wanted to just hit her or something. I can't believe she is that selfish that a gift her sister did from THE HEART wouldn't count in "her world." She just made me really mad in her attitude in this episode. D-moreless
  • Tori writes a beautiful song for Trina for her birthday (or as Trina prefers, birthweek), but Trina doesn't think it's a real gift because Tori didn't spend any money.

    I do like this episode, which is why I gave it a 7, but I don't like Trina's attitude. To say that Tori's song wasn't a real gift because Tori didn't spend any money is ungrateful and selfish, not to mention it's not even funny. And to then actually sell the song and pretend as if she sang it was just way out of line! That song was beautiful and I don't think anything Tori could've bought would have been as precious. And not only did Tori sing the song, she practically put on a live stage performance all for Trina. There's no one in the world who wouldn't love that gift! I really just wanted to smack Trina in the face when she told Tori that her song wasn't a real present. In my opinion, when you give someone a gift that no amount of money can buy, that shows how much you truly love them.



    The rest of the episode was good and I enjoyed it, but my favorite part will always be Tori's performance. As this show continues, I hope we will see some character development in Trina. She is a good person, but her attitude needs some big improvement!moreless
