History Heartwarming / TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody

* "Not So Suite 16". Zack tries to pass Cody's gift for his own,

* In the episode "Books and Birdhouses," Cody is about to fail his woodshop final. Zack, who is for once top of the class, trades their projects while the teacher is out of the room because he fails all the time, and getting an A means everything to Cody. In the end, Cody won't let him go through with it.

** And then Moseby tells her that he approves of her forbidden romance, even if doing so costs him his job, because "if you really love someone, then you have to think of them before yourself." Whoever came up with the idea for this episode is a ''genius''.

* In "The Prince and the Plunger", Mr. Moseby is eager for Mr. Tipton to visit the hotel and take London to the Father Daughter Dance at her school. [[GenreSavvy London is certain that he’ll cancel at the last minute like he always does, and he ultimately proves her right.]] While she seems used to it by now, [[TearJerker Mr. Moseby later finds her crying in a linen closet, because she actually thought her father would show up this time]]. Mr. Moseby comforts her and offers to be her escort to the dance, which she accepts.

--->'''Zack''': Can't you wait for me?\\
'''Maddie''': I wish I could, because I know you're going to be a sweet and smart kid when you grow up.

* The twins’ parents, Carrie and Kurt, are AmicableExes for the most part, in a refreshingly positive take on divorced parents in a kids show. Kurt even ends up inadvertently meeting Carrie’s new boyfriend and they actually form a positive, friendly bond over dinner, to the point that Kurt even endorses Carrie marrying him. In a later episode when Kurt catches Zack and Cody both trying to be alone with their girlfriends at his apartment and properly disciplines them, Carrie is impressed and sincerely thanks him for doing what he’s supposed to as a father.
** In the same episode where Carrie looks like she’s going to marry her new boyfriend, Kurt is also the one who gently consoles Cody over not wanting his mother to remarry. Cody is not made to feel wrong for his discomfort, even when literally everyone else in the show likes Carrie’s new boyfriend, and it’s a perfectly valid response from a child who has had to live through his parents divorcing. Kurt tells Cody that as much as his mother sacrifices to care for her sons, he should be willing to accept his mother making a decision for her happiness. At the end of the episode, Carrie turns down the proposal (citing she's not ready for marriage right now) but assures Cody she wouldn’t marry someone Cody was genuinely not okay with.
** In another episode dealing with a falcon nesting on the Tipton Hotel, Carrie gets to watch Cody experience and suffer the labor of being a parent when the mother falcon leaves her nest and abandons one egg. Ridiculous moments of caring for an avian aside, when Cody confronts his little bird developing into maturity to fulfill its duties. Carrie takes Cody inside and gives him a stern but calming Aesop to Cody and to the audience about being a GoodParents and learning to let go and allow legacy to do its work. This episode also counts as a Tearjerker.

* Another great moment between Zack and Maddie is in "Lip Syncin in the Rain". Maddie didn't get the role of Sharpay but Zack continues to support and inspires her to not give up. It is he who urges everyone that Maddie take the role London has when nobody wanted to say it until eventually, they got fed up with the latter . Although it didn't work, Maddie smiles, appreciating it.

** Carrie also realizes her cold turkey approach to Zack’s craving for sweets is not working and agrees to level with him, and help him monitor himself so he won’t overdo it all the time.
** Carrie also helps London and Maddie finally let Moseby’s earlier lesson sink in before the talent show.

* "Family Thais," the episode when London visits her grandmother.

* "Party On" has Zach going to great lengths to make sure Maya has a great birthday, after finding out her favorite things he gets Sean Kingston to pay for the party by telling her that those are London's favorite things(as he has a crush on her)and gets Moseby to let him use the sky deck by saying it's a surprise party for him. Eventually Maya finds out the truth but instead of being upset at Zach, she's touched saying that nobody ever went to this much trouble for her birthday before.
--->'''Zach:''' You're a great girl Maya and you deserve the best.

* Zack and Maddie's slow dance in ''A Prom Story'', punctuated with background music by Creator/KimRhodes.

* Zack and Maddie's slow dance in the episode ''A Prom Story'', punctuated with background music by Creator/KimRhodes.
** The song that plays while they're dancing also counts as not only heartwarming but also reflects on their relationship, particulary the lyric; ''I know I want what I can't have''.

* The twins’s parents, Carrie and Kurt, are AmicableExes for the most part, in a refreshingly positive take on divorced parents in a kids show.

--->'''London''': I'll call you if I ever have a problem. (''walks away and calls Moseby on her cell'')
'''Moseby''': (''picks up the phone'') Hello?

-->'''London:''' Look, Bailey, I know you loved Cody, but... You don't need a boyfriend to be happy! You're young, you're smart, you're pretty, you're not some [[CrazyCatLady fifty-something cat lady]] who's been dumped time and time and time again and that's one ice-cream cup away from a heart attack!\\

--> '''London''': I'll call you if I ever have a problem. *walks away and calls Moseby on her cell*
--> '''Moseby''': *picks up the phone* Hello?
--> '''London''': I have a problem. *tearing up* I'm going to miss you.

--> '''Zack''': Can't you wait for me?
--> '''Maddie''': I wish I could, because I know you're going to be a sweet and smart kid when you grow up.

* "Snakes on a Boat" managed to [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar get a LOT of crap past the radar]] but in the midst of all that, we also have Mr. Moseby saving Zack's life after he's bitten by a snake, in spite of all their differences. And considering what he had to do to save it, that's pretty impressive.

* From the same episode, there's Zack and Cody making up with their mom and dad for not being truthful with them, especially the part where the twins hug Carrie. Might double as {{Narm}} or NarmCharm too.

* The episode when London visits her grandmother.

--> '''London''': I'll call you if I ever have a problem. *walks away and calls Mosbey on her cell*
--> '''Mosbey''': *picks up the phone* Hello?

* One that's a retroactive Heartwarming - Mr Moseby talks back to Mr Tipton and probably ends up fired. Come ''Series/{{Jessie}}'' and he's ''still'' working for the Tiption -- albeit a different branch -- which means he was either ''not'' fired, or London defied her father to get him his job back.

* Zack and Maddie's slow dance in the episode ''A Prom Story'', punctuated with background music by Kim Rhodes.

* London's sentiment on a forbidden boyfriend; "I'd love him even if he were poor" in "Cookin' with Romeo and Juliet".
** And then Moseby tells her that he approves of her forbidden romance, even if doing so costs him his job, because "if you really love someone, then you have to think of them before yourself". Whoever came up with the idea for this episode is a ''genius''.

* In "Twins at the Tipton". Cody's girlfriend dumps him, leaving him heartbroken. Zack meets beautiful English twins and sets up a double date with the three of them and Cody. After Cody reveals why he is upset, the girls immediately sympathize with him since they both know how it feels to be dumped. They spend the rest of the date comforting him and even chew out Zack for completely ignoring his brother's pain before leaving with Cody to go to the theater. When they get back to the room later, Cody is in a much better mood than before.
