Story[]
The twins want to go the cinema with Janice and Jessica but get annoyed when Carey wants to come with them. They convince her to let them go on their own. She agrees but only if they see a family friendly film like Doggie Come Home. When she leaves, Zack says to Cody that they're going to see Zombie Mom instead so that Janice and Jessica are scared at turn to the boys for protection. They see the movie and all four of them are scared but while Cody looks away, Zack watches the screen. At home as they're getting ready for bed, Cody applauds Zack for the movie choice as Janice "held onto him all night." Zack tries to act like he's not scared but is frightened when Cody turns off the light and Carey walks in wearing a facemask. When he screams and makes a reference to zombies, Carey wonders whether they saw that scary movie after all. The boys reassure her that they didn't and go to sleep.
When Moseby comes in for work the next morning, he is bewildered by the furniture piled against the hotel door in the lobby. He accuses the boys of doing it to which they deny. However, back in their room, when Zack sits on his bed and hears a "ding" sound, he realises he must have done it when he was sleepwalking. They can't tell Carey about it because she'll know that they went to see the scary movie so Zack devises to fill his room full of noisy booby traps with the plan to wake him up when he sleepwalks. However when he does sleepwalk, he misses all of the traps and starts piling up furniture in the lobby. Moseby is there waiting for him but can't get him to stop. Cody wakes up and calls for Zack, only to trip and fall into the booby traps, and get tangled in bubble wrap. Carey comes to help him and sees the bell from the lobby in their room and no Zack. She knows that Zack is the one responsible. Carey and Cody go to the lobby to see Zack moving furniture. Zack drops a lamp on Moseby's foot and calls him a zombie which makes Carey know that the boys saw the film. Carey announces that she's going to make chocolate pancakes, which causes Zack to wake up. Carey tells Zack what he was doing and he tries to deny it, but Cody says that it was Zack's idea.
The boys go the cinema with Janice and Jessica again, only this time they are watching Doggie Come Home with Carey sitting behind them. Cody cries at the film and Zack facepalms.
Subplot[]
London meets the Tipton's delivery man who is called Brandon. She thinks that he's hot and wants to go on a date with him but after he complains about stuck up rich people, she pretends to be poor. Brandon asks London out and she accepts. Maddie bets London that she will never pull off being poor as she likes being rich too much. London goes on her date and afterwards tells Maddie about it, saying that being poor isn't so bad. Maddie says that's because London only does it for two hours and then goes home to luxury. Brandon turns up and London takes over Maddie's shift but quickly becomes annoyed and starts destroying the till. London can't cope and says that she wants to take a break. Brandon agrees and offers to split a burger using a coupon. London snaps and admits that she's actually rich and can get anything she want. Brandon wonders why London lied and London explains it was because she liked him while he hated rich people. Brandon says that he only hates mean rich people, which he says London isn't it. They go on another date in London's limo. Maddie realises that London couldn't handle being working class so technically Maddie won their bet. Moseby congratulates her and gives her a broom to clean up all the candy that London threw on the floor.
