Plot

Zoey changes her mind about staying in England, and transfers back to PCA to be with Chase. However, she soon discovers that Chase has recently transferred to Covington to be with her. After Chase and Zoey meet though, Chase reveals that he has to stay in London for at least one full semester. They go on a "date" (using a webcam) with Zoey at Sushi Rox, and Chase in his room at Covington. However, the connection fails, and it takes 3 hours for the two to speak to each other. Realizing that this method won't work, they decide to talk to each other again as soon as Chase gets back from London.

Trivia

• Chase's roommate, Collin, is voiced by Ben Diskin, who also voices Numbuh 1 in Codename: Kids Next Door.
• The TV show "Girly Cow", also appears on iCarly. A high quality sequence was seen in "iSpace Out."
• In reality, English accents sound nothing like how Collin talks.
• The title represents the fact that Chase and Zoey literally traded places because Zoey came back to PCA and Chase went to Covington.
