The twins' dad and Carey's ex-husband, Kurt, returns to the Tipton for a visit. Meanwhile, London helps Maddie pass gym by building her strength.

Tropes:

  • Bad Liar: When confronted by Carey because she wants to know about Zack's whereabouts, Cody talks himself into big trouble:
    Carey: Cody, have you seen your brother?
    Cody: Nope, can't say I have. Not for a while now. In fact, until you mentioned it, I totally forgot I even had a brother. Zack, right? Stop staring at me. Okay, okay. I know where he is, I'll tell you! Just stop with the eyes. It burns!
  • Brought Home the Wrong Kid: Carey mentions this incident which underlines Kurt's carelessness.
    Carey: I was mad when you came home from the playground with the wrong twins.
    Kurt: It was an honest mistake.
    Carey: They were girls.
  • Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films:
    Carey:You do know the last time Cody watched a horror movie, I had to get rid of the monsters by scrubbing down his room with holy water!
  • Like Parent, Like Child: Kurt is One of the Kids and gets into the same kind of antics as his sons, much to Mr. Moseby's dismay:
    Mr. Moseby: I see the apples don't fall very far from the tree.
  • One of the Kids: Kurt's style of parenting.
  • Swapped Roles: After Zack decides to stay with his dad, Kurt soon realizes that being the responsible parent is hard work. Meanwhile, Carey tries to be the fun parent with Carey, but gets injured in the process and realizes the trouble of it.
  • Training Montage: London subjects Maddie to one to get ready for gym.
