Zack falls for a rich girl, but her would-be boyfriend becomes jealous and tries to keep him away from her by pretending he has stolen a priceless family heirloom. Meanwhile, Cody gets caught in a competition between London and Bailey's pets.
Tropes
- Affectionate Parody: One to Titanic (1997). A rich girl comes to the ship and develops a relationship with Zack, hitting all the major plot points of the movie on the way, including:
- Ashton and Violet as the roles of Cal and Rose.
- Zack saving the love interest from being hit with a cake to mirror Jack saving Rose from jumping off the ship.
- The painting scene with poor drawing skills.
- The "I never let go" scene inside a hot tub.
- The dumping of the necklace in the ocean with London joining in.
- The Bet: London's competition with Bailey is this: If Ivanna wins, Porkers has to swim back to Parrot Island; if Porkers wins, Ivanna will spend the rest of her visit in animal control.
- Bribing Your Way to Victory: The girls both try this to get Cody to declare their pet the winner, with London using money and Bailey using flirting.
- The Bus Came Back: London's dog Ivanna gets dropped off onto the ship, while the pig Bailey befriended on Parrot Island, Porkers, ends up in her ownership.
- Five-Second Foreshadowing: London mentions Ivanna has the ability to sniff out diamonds. Ivana then sniffs out the Kidney of the Sea's main diamond in Ashton's pocket, proving he tried to frame Zack for stealing the necklace.
- Gold Digger: Violet's mother pushes her into dating Ashton for his money.
- G-Rated Drug: When Zack is accused of stealing the Kidney of the Sea, Violet's mother immediately jumps to her own theory for a motive.Mrs. Berg: One of the diamonds is missing! He must've sold it to feed his bubblegum habit!
Zack: *takes gum out mouth* I can quit anytime I want. Starting tomorrow. *resumes chewing* - Left the Background Music On: When Zack realizes Ashton stole the necklace and framed him for it, an orchestral "dun-dun-dun" noise plays before an actual orchestra is revealed playing it.
- Pet Contest Episode: The b-plot of the episode has Cody hosting a competition between Ivanna and Porkers, to see which pet is better than the other. They end up tying in the end.
- Pet the Dog: Mr. Moseby refuses to believe that Zack stole the diamond necklace. While the boy has many flaws, he's not a thief.
- Stop Drowning and Stand Up: After Zack falls into the hot tub, Violet grabs his hand and they embrace in a romantic yet funny "death" scene parodying the "I'll never let go" scene. Mr. Moseby eventually tells Zack to stand up.
- Taking the Bullet: When Ivana's cake is sent flying and it flies toward Violet, Zack jumps in front of her so the cake hits him instead.
- Terrible Artist: Zack's attempt at a portrait of Violet.
- You Meddling Kids: Ashton delivers the classic line almost verbatim in Ivana outs him for framing Zack.
