"Grounded on the 23rd Floor" is the 5th episode of the first season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Because of Carey losing too much money, the boys decide to make a plan on taking a picture of a wedding kiss (costing $20,000) taking place while the twins are "grounded".

Story

The episode starts when Carey told her children that she didn't have enough money to buy all the things they want, because they, "don't have any money". When Zack and Cody heard about the famous wedding in the Tipton, without paparazzi, and anyone with a photo of the kiss will be paid $20,000. Meanwhile, Maddie was called to Carey, to babysit her children, and she has to prevent them from escaping.

Goofs

  • When the twins were singing "We're rich, we're rich," Zack turns around. But after the cut, when Chuck says, "Not quite, not quite," Zack completes the turn he already completed.
  • After Zack says that he and Cody snuck in to take the $20,000 picture, Mr. Moseby is behind the twins. After the next camera cut, he is beside Carey.
