[edit] Plot summary

The end of the school year is approaching, and that means prom is, too. Zoey has planned to spend her summer vacation in Maui as her uncle owns a hotel there. James gives her a locket with the inscription I love you – James. on it, but her reaction isn’t what he expected. Zoey then acts quite strange around him by avoiding his calls and evading time alone together. Shortly after, Zoey breaks up with James. Zoey agrees and offers to return the necklace, but keeps it on James' insistence. Many question her decision to end her relationship with James, the only explanation she can offer being that there is something in the way. Now dateless, Zoey stubbornly refuses to attend the prom.

Michael gets a classic car from his father so he can drive Lisa to the Prom. The only problem is Michael can’t drive a stick shift. Luckily, he finds guidance from a mysterious Japanese man (James Hong). Quinn and Logan want to go to prom together, but they want to keep their secret as well. They decide to choose each other’s dates — the result being Logan going with Stacey and Quinn going with Dustin. Lola is named head of the prom committee, but chooses to give Stacey the work instead of doing it herself. All she wants is to arrive fashionably late, but ends up getting in a small incident with a taxi driver who argues with his wife and then stops the car saying that he is going to community college. Chase returns to PCA and he and Zoey kiss twice and proceed to the dance. Mark's girlfriend, Brooke, dumps him as he is too boring. He and Michael go off and Michael tries to use the methods that he was taught to teach Mark to drive stick shift. Quinn and Logan's relationship is revealed publicly when Stacey tries to kiss Logan. He unthinkingly declares he doesn't want to kiss Stacey because he is in love with Quinn Pensky. Quinn responds by saying she loves Logan Reese as well. Dustin walks out saying, "You used me!?" This also marks the first time Logan and Quinn tell each other that they love each other. As Stacey was Logan's date, she runs out crying onto the road. Mark, in Michael's car, hits Stacey resulting, not in injury, but in the fixing of her lisp. After that incident, she can now pronounce her "S"s perfectly.

Zoey and Chase announce their relationship to their ecstatic friends at prom. Chase agrees to go to Hawaii with Zoey for the summer, and the final scene closes with the main cast dancing together.

The resulting couples are seen together: Zoey and Chase, Logan and Quinn, Lola and Vince, and Michael and Lisa.

[edit] Outcomes

  • Zoey breaks up with James halfway through the movie. Chase later returns to PCA, and after making a clumsy entrance (similar to the pilot, when Chase first met Zoey and hit a pole while riding his bike), Zoey and Chase share their first kiss. They later go to the prom, where they inform everyone of their relationship, and Zoey invites him to stay with her in Hawaii for the summer, which Chase of course gladly accepts.
  • Quinn and Logan pair each other up with Dustin and Stacey respectively so to not arouse any suspicion of them dating. During the prom however, they later confess their love for each other where they kiss for the first time in public.
  • Stacey gets invited to the prom by Logan, due to his and Quinn's agreement. During the prom, Logan confesses his love for Quinn. Upset, Stacy runs outside into the main road, where she is hit by Michael's car, which Mark Del Figgalo is driving. Instead of injuring her however, it instead fixes her lisp, allowing her to speak properly. She is later seen dancing with Mark Del Figgalo.
  • Lola becomes head of the Prom Committee, where she has Stacey do all the work while she relaxes. She agrees with Vince to arrive to the prom "fashionably late," they end up becoming lost in the woods due to unforeseen events. Luckily, with the aid of the nerds, Lola and her boyfriend Vince make it to the prom before it finishes.
  • After getting her a locket enscribed "I love you - James" Zoey begins acting strangely around James. James later realizes something is disturbing Zoey, and so it causes her to break up with him. They each agree to remain friends. After this, James is not seen and it is unknown what became of him.
  • Michael struggles to learn how to drive stick shift. A mysterious Asian man claiming to be the lower school math teacher comes seemingly out of nowhere to help Michael learn. He has Michael learn by stomping grapes and stirring tuna, which both help Michael with the gas pedals and shifting the stick(A reference to "Karate Kid"). No one but Michael knows who this man is and at the end of the movie, Michael sees him on a bull and asks him to tell everyone he helped him, but the man says he cannot because he does not exist. He disappears into the dark of the night, leaving Michael scared and confused.
