When Max and Zack pass the first round, Zack fells down, but Max didn't know it, so he hires Cody to replacements him in the Dance Competition.

Episode Summary

Max asks Zack to be her partner in a Dance USA contest being held at the Tipton Hotel. Cody is upset he isn't asked and that Zack is more talented than him in all areas that matter such as dance, basketball, and skateboarding. (Apparently academics doesn't count.) Cody unsuccessfully explores other hidden talents such as ventriloquism and magic. Zack recklessly gets injured before the dance finals, so Cody tries to secretly take his place, but they are discovered and disqualified.

Meanwhile, London loans Maddie $250 so that her parents can make that honeymoon trip to Paris, but Maddie ends up being London's personal servant in return. Once the staff has had enough of London's bossing Maddie around, including Moseby who uses Cody's ventriloquist dummy to communicate, they chip in and give Maddie the money to pay London back. London apologizes to Maddie because she did not realize how she was hurting Maddie in the long run.
