[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Zack and Cody persuade Carey to give them more freedom by letting them go to the movies alone without her. Carey agrees and takes them to the theater, and she tells the boys not to watch Zombie Mom or any other scary movies. After she leaves, Zack convinces Cody (who wanted to watch Doggie Come Home) to watch Zombie Mom because then Jessica and Janice would be so scared, they would be in the boys' laps. During the movie, Cody pretends to be scared so Janice would hold on to him. Zack, however, was so into the movie that he pushed Jessica away during the scary parts! Later that night, Cody was talking about how Janice hed on to him. When Cody was about to turn off the lights, Zack yells at him and says "Don't you turn off that light The next day, in the morning, Moseby enters the hotel only to find the furniture rearranged at the front doors. Moseby thinks Zack/Cody did it. Zack, not knowing what's going on, said he did not do it. Later on his bed, he finds the lobby bell, and Cody realizes that Zack was sleepwalking and moved the furniture because the movie freaked him out. He tells Zack that if Carey finds out, she would know they went to see "Zombie Mom" and treat them like kids until their kids have kids. So he sets up a number of various noisy booby traps on the bedroom floor to wake Zack up. That night however, Zack gets up and sleepwalks around the booby traps. When he enters the lobby, Mr. Moseby catches him and attempts to make him stop rearranging. Cody wakes up and stepped into the traps. This wakes Carey up and she finds out that Zack did move the furniture. They go down to the lobby and Carey says "Zack, I'm making chocolate chip pancakes!" to wake him up. Cody confesses that it was Zack's idea to watch Zombie Mom, and Carey tells Zack not to ever abuse any freedom he asks for or he's going to wish he had a Zombie Mom. At the end, Zack, Cody, Jessica, Janice, and Carey are at "Doggie Come home." At the end of the movie, Cody says "Look, Doggie came home!" the girls say "Awww!" and snuggle up to Cody to Zack's disappointment.

[edit] Subplot

London decides to masquerade as a "commoner" to impress a cute delivery boy named Brandon who doesn't like rich people (because they are mean and obnoxious). Maddie bets her that she can't go through with it which London accepts. London even rides the subway for the first time in her life. However when she tries to work Maddie's candy counter to keep up the pretense she finds that being working-class is not as easy as it seems(not knowing how to operate the cash register every time she opened it, it hit her stomache). When she finally tells Brandon the truth, he is understanding and he calls her a nice and down-to-earth person. Maddie however is called "poor and mean" when she makes a snide comment about it. After the couple leaves Moseby sees the mess London left behind. Maddie explains everything and she is even happy she won the bet --- until Moseby gives her her prize for winning, a broom to sweep up the mess.

Spoilers end here.
