Cody searches for a summer job, and finds a "help wanted" sign at the local mini-mart. When the owner realizes Cody is friends with London, he will only hire Cody if he will set him up on a date with her. Zack discovers he is the smartest student in his summer-school class, all the other kids make fun of him.

The tabloids report London doesn't know how to swim, so she takes swimming lessons. Zack has been offered to work at the hotel as a plumber or to work at a local market.

A competing minimart issues a competition to see who can bag items faster, Zack and Cody accept the challenge. Meanwhile, Mr. Moseby's niece Nia is goofing off with London.

Maddie is back and is not getting along with Nia, while Estaban is not getting along with Patrick, and the rest of staff aren't getting along either. So, Mr. Moseby hires a professional to help the team get along. Meanwhile, when Zack causes some customers to leave, he and Cody schedule a bug convention at the Tipton to make it up to Mr. Moseby. However, due to his fear of bugs, he accidentally releases the bugs into the Tipton.
