The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (season 2)

London likes a merit scholar (Zac Efron), and Maddie helps her to trick him into thinking she is smart. Cody moves into a coat closet because Zack is too messy and doesn't clean his side of the room. To Zack's surprise, Cody makes the room more "home" like by putting in a flat-screen TV and more. It has the gag out of the TV show The Odd Couple that Zack is like Oscar and Cody is like Felix.

Guest star: Zac Efron as Trevor, Troy Gentile as Jeremy, Gus Hoffman as Warren, Charlie Stewart as Bob

The French Ambassador and his daughter visit the Tipton Hotel, and both Zack and Cody develop a crush on the daughter, Jolie, although neither of them know French. Following his mother's advice, Cody locks Zack in a coat closet, then hires Mr. Moseby to translate for him. He eventually gets to dance with Jolie, but while doing so, Zack arrives with 2 cards: One full of compliments and one full of insults. Cody takes the insults (which he mistakes for compliments) and the daughter goes to Zack. However, Bob, who speaks fluent French, gets Jolie at the end. Meanwhile, Esteban is upset when London can beat a street thief but he can't. To cheer him up, Maddie arranges a plan for Arwin to pretend to be a thief and let Esteban defeat him. Things go wrong when Arwin forgets about the plan and Esteban must fight a real thief instead.

He is told that Burnaise has three different disguises: A middle-aged woman, a Chinese man with a long beard, and a cowboy. Mr. Moseby then hires Zack and Cody to sneak around the hotel and find out who exactly is Burnaise. They conclude that a Texan cowboy is actually Burnaise and Mr. Moseby orders Chef Paolo to cook a wonderful meal for him. Things take a turn for the worse when Chef Paolo quits after being insulted, and Cody must take over, having London, Maddie, and Zack as his kitchen staff. What they don't know is that although the cowboy is impressed with his meal, he is actually not the real food critic, who suddenly appears to give the Tipton another chance when he realizes the situation and the struggle to serve the cowboy. Chef Paolo then decides to go back to work at the Tipton, where his being in charge assures that the Tipton will get good reviews.

Later, Cody gets the attention after Zack drops out because he thought that Cody's ideas were better and he would want him to be president.

He makes amends with Cody and agrees to attend his speech. Meanwhile, London and Maddie have to take care of a baby simulator for school, which keeps them up all night. Maddie mainly does all the work, while London does hardly any except buying him expensive clothing and giving Esteban the position of a nanny. The doll eventually falls out of a window and breaks.
