Nurse Zack is an episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Carey gets sick, and so does Cody (after drinking from her germ infected mug), leaving Zack in charge of cleaning, shopping, and taking care of them. While Carey and Cody are sick, the Tipton employees have a competition for Employee of the Month, with the award being an all-expenses free vacation to any Tipton hotel of their choice.

The problem with both is that Zack, being a little egocentric, is very reluctant to do anything to help while the staff is so concerned with winning that they neglect to help guests and even go as far as to ignore everyone, even London.

In the end Zack promises to appreciate everything his mother does and Carey wins the award because in Moseby's words, "She is the only employee who has not annoyed the guests." Instead of a trip to the Tipton of her choice, Carey just asks for a free box of tissues. In the meantime it turns out that London just needed someone to accompany her on her shopping spree in Paris.

[edit] Trivia

  • Fifth appearance of Lance.
  • First appearance of Dr. Chip Walters.
  • Cody reveals in this episode that the school that he and Zack go to is Buckner Middle School.
  • Running Gag: Every time someone asks for help, Lance shows up and gives them mouth-to-mouth. However, when he "saves" Mr. Moseby, the shot immediately goes to the other Tipton staffmembers (not including Maddie), and the only shot we see of Lance is when he takes deep breaths.
  • Won the "Funniest Fever" category in the 2006 Disney Channel New Year Sing-Along Bowl-a-thon.
  • Third time Esteban is seen carrying a heavy load instead of using the luggage carts. The first was in "The Ghost of 613" and the second was in "A Midsummer's Nightmare."
  • We never found out who sabotaged every one but:
  1. Maddie stole Deborah's maid cart.
  2. Patrick stomped on Maddie's candy.
  3. Maddie let 30 cats loose in Patrick's restaurant on Sushi Sunday.
  4. Irene sabotaged Maddie's roving Candy cart.
  5. Norman put soap bubbles in Arwin's blowtorch.
  6. Arwin magnetically sealed Esteban's suitcases to the floor.
  7. Patrick filled Lance's pool with grape juice. Thus, turning Lance's skin purple.
  • Buckner Middle School may be an allusion to Bill Buckner whose error in the 1986 World Series is still seen as a factor in the Red Sox losing.
