Quotes[]

Zack: Hey, sweet thing. Although it's been ages since I've seen you, now that you're back from saving the penguins, It's like you never left.
- Millicent: I never did.
- Zack: Aaah!
- Millicent: Aaah!
- Cody: Aaah!
- Millicent: Aaah!
- Cody: Zack was expecting to see Maddie, so he's disappointed that it's you.
- Millicent: I get that a lot.
- Zack: It's nothing personal. I--I like you, and I hope we can still be friends.
- Millicent: I get that a lot, too.
- Maddie: Hey, g-g-guys, I'm b-b-ack!
- Zack: Maddie!
- Maddie: Oh, Zack! Don't let go of me.
- Zack: I knew you'd miss me.
- Maddie: Actually, I'm still defrosting from Antarctica.
- Cody: Hey, Maddie, it's good to see you again.
- Maddie: Cody, hi! Better. Warmer.
- Esteban: Maddie!
- Maddie: Esteban! Hug! Here! Now!
- Esteban: Ok.
- Maddie: Arwin! Don't be shy, get over here!
- Arwin: Ooh, group hug! I love group hugs, especially with other people.

Cody: Are you crazy!? (picks up millipede and holds it in Zack's face) This is a priceless Malaysian Millipede, mister!
- Zack: Keep that thing away from me or I'm gonna milli-pee my pants!

Maddie: (to Zack) There's a giant spider on your head!
- Zack: I feel the same- wha, wha, wha, wha? Ah, get it off! Get it off! (throws the spider in the box; running while rubbing his head) Mommy! Spider! (Maddie looks at spider in the box)
- Maddie: Shouldn't you tell him the spider's off his head? (Zack runs back)
- Zack: (runs around screaming) Ahhh!
- Cody: (to Maddie) Maybe later.

London: (about Millicent) Moseby, Moseby, Nervous Maddie just passed out again! (about Nia) Cranky Maddie isn't at the counter! (sees Maddie, gasps) Hideous Hair Maddie, you're back! (hugs Maddie)
- Maddie: Suddenly I miss the frozen tundra.

Mr. Moseby: All right, boys, let's talk.
- Zack: Okay, you know, I think the Red Sox have a pretty good chance this year.
- Mr. Moseby: I meant about the bagpipes!
- Zack: Sorry. In my defense, I didn't know it was a bagpipe. I thought it was the new Super Squirter Octopus, the one with 8 nozzles.
- Cody: In my defense, I'm not Zack.

Mr. Butteax: Okay, people. The best way to understand a co-worker is by stepping into their shoes.
- London: But, I'm a dainty size three, Maddie has the feet of Sasquatch!
- Maddie: He means we act like someone else to see their point of view. For example, I'll be you! (imitating London) Mint me, Candy Girl! Even though you're busy, forget the other customers because I'm more important! Yay me! (claps hands)
- London: (imitating Maddie) Sorry, London. I can't right now, because I have to tell you a boring story about one of my weird relatives. Do me a favor and pretend to listen, would you? While I go on, and on, and on wearing my really ugly clothes!
- Nia: (imitating Maddie) Oh, and let's not forget, since I'm back from saving the penguins, I want everyone to drop what they're doing and do it the way I want it!
- Millicent: (imitating Nia) And, I'm Nia. I can make you do anything I say because I'm tough and can crush you like a grape! (Nia gets mad at Millicent) I was talking about another Nia.
- Nia: Uh-huh.
- Carey: Ooh! I'll do Patrick! (imitating Patrick) Well, (fixes her hair) I suppose I could get you to finish dinner in time to see Carey Martin's show, but that would mean working hard. (everyone else gasps)
- Arwin: (thinking he is imitating Estaban) Mr. Moseby! Mr. Moseby! Can I take something that's working perfectly well and do some conveluded thing to it until it breaks? (laughs)
- Carey: Arwin, I don't think you're supposed to imitate yourself.
- Arwin: Oh, I thought I was doing Esteban.
- Mr. Moseby: No, no, no. Esteban is more like this. (imitating Esteban) Oh, Mr. Moseby! Oh, can I have a day-off? Because, my chicken has chicken pox, and I can't feed him chicken soup, 'cause he's a chicken! Did I mention the fact that I have a chicken?
- Esteban: (imitating Mr. Moseby) Oh, very well! Good luck with that! Oh, keep carrying those bags, Esteban, like a pack mule! While I sit in my office talking to my mommy!
- Mr. Moseby: (imitating Esteban after all the lights go out) This is a disaster! [The power goes out]
- Esteban: Oh, no! THIS is a disaster!

Arwin: Come on, Millicent, there's no "I" in team.
- Millicent: There is in "injury."
- Nia: Look either we can lift you up with two fingers [makes a fist] or I can knock you down with five. [sweetly] Your choice.
- Millicent: Lift away! (Everyone then lifts Millicent up with two fingers)
- Mr. Butteax: You see what can you acheive when you all work together.
- Millicent: This is so exciting. I'm actually having fun!... Wee.

Trivia[]

In the scene where the bugs enter the room and everyone starts to panic, Patrick gets up and steps on one of the bugs, but the bug isn't crushed or hurt. For this episode, all the bugs were animated.
Zack makes a reference to the 1982 film Poltergeist when he says that the St. Mark was built on an ancient burial ground, the trees came to life, and the televisions ate children. These are all notable events from the movie.
This is Millicent's last appearance in the Suite Life franchise. And the final Suite Life franchise appearance of Skippy.
After this episode was shown, the Hannah Montana episode with Boys Like Girls premiered afterwards.
For some reason, despite Maddie returning, she continues to be largely absent for the next several episodes and the rest of the season.
