[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Zack and Cody wish to get a pet and - against their mother's will - they get a horse after failing to convince her to get a tarantula, turtle, iguana, a parrot, two parrots, a ferret, or a capybara, which was Cody's idea. Their mother gets them pet rocks. After Henry, the carriage man, is forced to retire and sell Tippy they ask Moseby how he could do that. Moseby tells the lady, Ms. Delacourt, that he is glad she chose the Tipton for her event. He also calls Zack and Cody orphans. Zack and Cody take Tippy and bring him to hide in Arwin's office. Then when Zack and Cody come back the next day Tippy's gone and Arwin's having a weird dream. It turns out Arwin's allergic to Tippy hair and Tippy's allergic to Arwin hair. Tippy runs away and they have to find him before Ms. Delacourt's event.

Maddie reluctantly gives London her brooch (the only connection to her late great-grandmother) and London misplaces it. Maddie becomes upset and calls London self-centered and spoiled. London buys her another brooch, which is worth more than the other one because it has real emeralds, but Maddie says it has no sentimental value. Carey talks to London and finds out that London called the restaurant she wore it to and they didn't find a brooch and that it was probably in the dumpster. London decides to look there, with the help of Arwin. She meets a hobo and searches all night for that brooch. When she returns, Maddie realizes only a true friend would do that for her. Then, the hobo comes in the hotel and yells, "I found your brooch, toots!" Tippy and Henry get their jobs back because Mrs. Delacourt said to Mr. Tipton that she was hoping to entertain her guests with carriage rides. Mr. Tipton agrees and all goes well!

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Notes

  • This episode's title is a reference to the movie Free Willy.
  • Originally titled "Hide the Horse".[citation needed]
  • First appearance of Carey's crush on George Clooney.
  • When Zack mentions he is horse whispering, it references the film The Horse Whisperer.
  • When Cody goes out to the room with Zack in he has a napkin to wipe his mouth with but when he left the kitchen there was no napkin in his hand.
  • Mr. Tipton says all employees must retire after the age of 65. This could be a similarity to Disney Channel's 65 episode marking period, when series stop filming after 65 episodes.
