Carly can also be seen enlisting and brother Spencer Shay (Jerry Trainor)'s help to revive her web show. "We'll help however we can," Spencer says, to which Carly replies, "I'm really glad to hear you say that."
Carly then reveals a baby box to the two, much to Spencer's horror. Reenacting a scene from the original series, Carly is seen putting what looks like to be whipped cream all over her brother's face as he pretends to be a baby inside the baby box. "I don't think this is how you do it!" he yells.
On the new iteration of the series, a new character is also introduced. Laci Mosley joins the cast as Harper, Carly's roommate and new best friend. Carly is also going on dates with someone that Harper recommends to her.
