The episode starts when both Zack and Cody want a date with Jolie, the French Ambassador's daughter, who stays at the Tipton, but speaks very little English. Meanwhile, London beats a thief who Esteban couldn't, so Maddie wants to cheer him up.
Tropes:
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Cody's "sweet-and-sensitive"-act.
- Does Not Speak Common: Jolie only speaks French and only uses very few English words.
- Hidden Depths: It is revealed that Bob can speak fluent French.
- Meaningful Name: Jolie means "pretty" or "beautiful" in French.
- Mistaken for Gay: Zack tries to get Bob’s help with his Zany Schemes, but Bob keeps mistaking his requests to participate as date invitations.
