"A Midsummer's Nightmare" is the 22nd episode of the second season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Zack and Cody's school is putting on the Shakespearean play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, where Cody tries to keep a certain kiss involving his new girlfriend and Zack from happening, and Zack tries to get a girl. London uses the principles of feng shui as she redecorates the Tipton.

Story[]

Zwen

Zack and Gwen kissing.

Zack and Cody audition for a play. But when their mom starts to help, they don't like the idea. Soon trouble rises when a girl that Zack likes has a crush on Cody, and a girl that Cody likes has a crush on Zack. Agnes finds out and doesn't like the rectangle one bit. When the play begins, The boys start fighting and the girls start fighting and ruin the whole play. Then Bob lightens up the mood and gets everybody to stop fighting. The play is then loved by everyone.

Meanwhile, London has the lobby transformed like the lobby in Japan using a method that the Japanese use for good luck. Instead of London getting the good luck, Esteban, Maddie, and Mr. Moseby get all the good luck while London gets the bad luck: Maddie finds $100, Esteban gets a letter from his Uncle Riccardo, a farmer who just struck oil on his property and is sharing with the family, Moseby's car gets totaled, but a man who owns a foreign vehicle company decides to give Moseby a vehicle imported from Italy, and London gets a call that her Yacht sank and she was ranked #1 on the worst dress list. She has the lobby changed back to normal, as Maddie, Esteban, and Moseby's luck gets reversed: Maddie's $100 that she recently spent on a watch turns out to be a counterfeit. The oil that Esteban's uncle had struck came from an underground pipeline and now the family has to repay the oil company. And Moseby's foreign vehicle turns out to be a bike. London's luck is also reversed in that the magazine made a mistake and has put her back on the best dressed list, she got a brand new jet, and a farmer in Central America drilled into a Tipton pipeline and they're going to take over the ranch and build a vacation house; which makes Esteban really upset because the farmer is his uncle.

Trivia[]

  • The title of the episode, "A Midsummer's Nightmare", is an allusion to the play that they perform, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
  • This episode shares its title with the series finale of Sabrina's Secret Life, "Midsummer's Nightmare".
  • At Dylan and Cole's 16th birthday, Selena Gomez (Gwen) said that this episode was very special to her, as it was her first kiss. "I love Cole and Dylan and actually I know when I was 14, I did my first kiss with Dylan Sprouse actually, when I was a guest star on their show, so I have a real special link with one of the boys."
  • Selena Gomez would later return to The Suite Life series, reprising her role as Alex Russo in the crossover episode Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana.

Goofs[]

  • Maddie said that she has a meeting with the FBI because of her counterfeit $100 bill, but the FBI doesn't handle cases of counterfeit. That's the job of the Secret Service.
  • When Maddie says "Can I come downtown later?" her lips don't match her words.
