"Kept Man" is the 14th episode of the second season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.
Story[]
The episode starts with the twins having just returned from their basketball game, complaining about how cheap their basketball is, and how it doesn't bounce properly. Meanwhile, Theo Cavenaugh, the rich kid who's staying for a while, came to the lobby to talk to Mr. Moseby. Soon after, the twins also went to the front desk to ask Mr. Moseby if he could open the ice cream bar earlier today. Right as he was about to say no, Theo interrupted by saying that he could go for some ice cream, and instead Moseby told them, "Consider it open! Let me call our frozen confections engineer." After that, Zack thanked Theo for getting Moseby to do what they wanted, and then Theo invited the twins to come to his mansion for a while to play basketball. Both Zack and Cody seemed amazed at just how rich he was, and how he had a basketball court inside his own house, and soon enough, the twins made a new friend.
After playing basketball in Theo's basketball court, he and the twins come to his equally luxurious game room. Once they got in, Zack happened to notice a board with slot cars (see image above,) and Theo, Zack, and Cody started playing with them. As Theo started teasing Cody for his nerdy personality, Cody started to feel a little upset and quite a bit annoyed, but decided not to say anything for now. Meanwhile, Zack was just looking around the place in awe, and happened to notice a skateboard. Theo told Zack that he could have the skateboard, and then he invited Zack and Cody to try the board out at the new vert ramp in his backyard. But Cody sadly told them that he couldn't go with them because he had to write a speech for a big school competition.
Later, Cody realized Theo doesn't like him, and Zack realized Theo wasn't a true friend.
Sub-plot[]
Maddie and London had to take care of a doll for an assignment. The doll broke, but they still got an A-plus for understanding the purpose of the assignment.
Quotes[]
- Sister Dominick: This weekend, each of you will be taking care of one of these.
- Mary-Margaret: We have to take care of a doll?
- Sister Dominick: Oh, not a doll. This is a high-tech baby simulator. It must be fed, changed, and nurtured—just like the real baby. And if you don't, it will cry, and I will know.
- London: You mean...? (looks upwards and points)
- Sister Dominick: No, dear. There's a recorder inside.
- Zack: Cool, slot cars.
- Cody: Wow, these trees are so lifelike. Are those Douglas Fir?
- Theo: No, they're even more rare. They're plastic.

- Cody: Great! I've got three metaphors, two analogies and a simile!
- Carey: I'd love to hear it! You know I'm a sucker for a good simile.
- Maddie: Esteban is our nanny? The man's best friend is poultry!

- Zack: So, I can go to the concert?

- Zack: I can.

- Esteban: As the nanny or as the bellboy?
- London: As the nanny.
- Mr. Moseby: But the day is still young!
- Mr. Moseby: Esteban, please bring over that suitcase.
- Esteban : (while holding the baby doll) But I'm with child.
- Mr. Moseby: Get over here with that suitcase if you want to be with paycheck!

Trivia[]
- In the UK airings of this episode, the scene where the doll simulator (heavily resembling a baby) is thrown out the window is censored, as well as the scene where the simulator hits Esteban on the head. Additionally, the scene that shows the "baby" being thrown against the couch is censored also. However in "Mr. Tipton Comes to Visit", these scenes are left in.
- Mary-Margaret naming her child LeBron is a reference to then-Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James.
- This marked the final appearance of Corrie.
- This was the last The Suite Life of Zack & Cody episode to air on ABC Kids.
- This is the first time Carry let's Zack go someplace without getting grounded.
Goofs[]
- Maddie doesn't want to name the baby London, Jr. because it's a boy. However, London is both a boy's and a girl's name.
- London pronounces "heir" correctly in all other episodes yet, in this episode, she pronounces it the same as "hair".
- When Zack leaves Theo's house, he has his socks on. When he arrives back at the hotel, he appears to be barefoot.
- Zack was grounded in the previous episode which was three weeks before this one premiered. And it hasn't been a month like his mother said. It could be that she ungrounded him for having Arwin fill-in for him on the bowling team. So she can let him go to the basketball game.
