Jam

Jam is the femslash ship between Jade West and Sam Puckett from the Sam & Cat, Victorious and ICarly fandom.

Canon
Sam and Jade are from different shows, but they are part of the same universe. So they get the chance to meet, interact and become close when Jade makes a guest appearance in Sam and Cat. Sam was cooking her special sauce and then gave it to Cat for her to try it. She ends up spitting it all in Cat's shirt, so she has to go change. And when she comes back, her friend Jade is at the door, which scares her when she sees Cat and Jade in the same room. Cat and Jade say hi to each other, making Cat pass out.

When Cat wakes up, she starts hearing some fighting noises, so she starts thinking that Sam and Jade are killing each other. However, when she gets to the room, she sees both girls playing a game with some bats. Cat is extremely surprised to see they're not "killing each other" so she tells them that she thought they would be doing that since they're both "anti-social misfits." Sam and Jade laugh at this since they've realized that they have a lot of things in common. Sam then gets up and invites Jade to go to Fisherman's Wharf, despite Cat's protests since they were supposed to study with Jade.

Sam and Jade arrive at the place on a motorcycle ridden by Sam, while Cat follows behind, running. When they approach the fish tank and Sam shows them the teeth of the fish, Jade starts commenting on how cool Sam is, and Cat, who is visibly jealous, starts copying everything Jade says. Later, when Sam tells them about the trick she's planning on doing, jumping the fish tank with her motorcycle, Jade once again expresses her admiration for Sam, while Cat thinks it's dangerous, but follows along because she wants Sam's attention. Sam and Jade, however, go together to the "Bots" restaurant, where they confuse a robot, just to "kill it off" and laugh about it together. Cat arrives a bit later with Nona and Dice, hoping to make Jade and Sam jealous, but it goes bad since Jade and Sam keep completely absorbed in their little world. They even went to see a horror movie together at the cinema the day before.
