[edit] Plot

Carey has a new boyfriend, Harvey. The relationship has been going on for a month, and Harvey is interested in proposing to Carey. Zack is okay with Carey marrying Harvey because he is rich but Cody opposes the marriage because he didn't want anything to change between himself, Zack and Carey. Mr. Moseby wants the twins out of the hotel, and is giddy with joy at the possibility of a marriage between Carey and Harvey.

Cody believes that the marriage is a disaster, so he calls his father, Kurt and asks him to come to the Tipton. Kurt arrives, but ends up liking Harvey because Harvey owns a music company and is interested in giving Kurt a record deal.

Cody decides that it's up to him to stop the engagement. He travels through the air vents to the hotel restaurant to steal the engagement ring with a fishing pole, but was caught by his dad. After a good heart-to-heart talk in the air vent, Cody accepts that change is inevitable and accepts the possibility of Carey and Harvey's marriage. Mr. Moseby almost throws the whole proposal off by getting the ring stuck to his finger, but in the end, Carey decides not to marry Harvey, for she's not ready for marriage right now, so Moseby and Zack cry because they didn't get what they wanted, and Kurt was worried it might effect the record deal.

[edit] Subplot

Maddie's school is having a volleyball competition, and the game so far isn't much of a success. London comes in and falls in love with Joe, a guy who works at the volleyball courts. Desperate, the team calls London to be in the team who remains her spoiled self until a rival team member mocks her by saying that she (the rival) was so happy to meet the world's dumbest heiress. Angry, London uses vicious moves that rally the team -- losing by a landslide only moments before -- to victory. But at another game, Joe gives her a love letter and London was so lovestruck that she didn't even bother to look at the ball. The next day the school team tries to get London angry enough to win this game. Maddie gets an idea that if she kisses Joe, London's jealousy would turn into anger, so that they can win the game. Maddie worked with the plan, and London did get angry and the team won, but London wasn't happy after Maddie reveals her whole plot to use London. But at the end credits, London finds Maddie sleeping in the bleachers of the gym, who was waiting for London to change (which obviously took a lot of time) so she can apologize to her and the two become friends again.
