"Rock Star in the House" is the 17th episode of the first season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Jesse McCartney comes to the Tipton, causing Maddie and London to get excited.

Story[]

Jesse McCartney comes to the Tipton Hotel. London tries to meet him. Although at first Maddie only wants to meet him for journalistic reasons, she soon has a crush on Jesse too. So, they do some really stupid things, such as dress up as waiters and sneak into his hotel room through air vents.

Zack attempts to find items that McCartney leaves around the room and sells them on the street. Zack steals Jesse's lucky bracelet, but Maddie and London tell him that he has to return it or "he could freeze up in the middle of his concert and we'd be responsible for ruining his career". While returning his lucky bracelet, they wake up Jesse, and Zack is almost taken away by security while Maddie and London escape through the air vents.

When Jesse finds out that Maddie and London are three years older than Zack, he is impressed Zack hangs out with the older and pretty girls, telling security to let go of him. Zack and Jesse end up bonding after Jesse admits that while he does enjoy being famous and some of the perks that come with it, he also wishes that he had more time to do normal things like play basketball and video games. Zack offers to play him and beat Jesse, who accepts the challenge before they go back to the Martin suite, where the two bond over a common love of video games. While Zack and Jesse play video games, London and Maddie keep bothering them outside the door, since Maddie and London are locked out. Jesse sings his song "Beautiful Soul".

Meanwhile, Cody wants to win an award at the Science Fair, but when he sees he didn't do it too well, he calls on Arwin to help him. However, it was against the rules because Arwin did all the work, and he didn't do anything.

In the Science Fair, he sees his rival, Barbara Brownstein. Finally, he wins, but then confesses that he got help, and the prize was for another child.
