Zack and Cody decided to take refuge in the Games Room...only to find Mr. Moseby there, mindlessly playing pool.

"Wait, when did we get a pool table?" asked Cody.

"Since the writers decided randomly adding one would be cool," was Zack's reply. He walked over to the pool table and said, "Hi, Moseby."

"Hi," said Mr. Moseby dully, taking a shot.

Trying to start up a conversation that would possibly trick Mr. Moseby into confessing, Zack said, "So, seen any good sitcoms recently?"

"No," grumbled Mr. Moseby. "They're all poorly-written, badly acted, and have absolutely ridiculous spin-offs that were the result of a writer having extreme drunkenness."

"Just like us!" chirped Cody.

Zack then said, "I myself love that sitcom with those wacky main characters. I believe their names were...Karl and Jack?"

In true sitcom fashion, Mr. Moseby struck the ball a little too hard with his cue stick and it ricocheted all across the room, bouncing off the walls and games, before finally landing on Mr. Moseby's head, causing him to collapse.

Zack and Cody stood there before Cody said in a deadpan voice, "Oh no, I think we killed him."

Zack kicked Mr. Moseby in the head, causing him to cry out, "Ow!"

"Nope," said Zack. "He's alive."

Mr. Moseby slowly got up on his knees and said, "So, you know about Karl and Jack?"

"Just that there were two guys named Karl and Jack," shrugged Zack. "And apparently, Jack is dead."

Mr. Moseby put down the cue stick and said in a serious tone, "Boys...I think it's time you two left."

Afraid of the consequences of disobeying him, Zack and Cody left.


Zack and Cody went into the basement, where they knew they would find Arwin. Not surprisingly, they were right. They found Arwin flying around the basement wearing a jet pack.

"Hello, boys!" he called out. He pressed a button and he flew down and landed neatly on his feet. "Do you like my new version of the jetpack? It features a more realistic look when flying around and doesn't make it look like someone was just flying around in a green room. Want to try it out?"

"Thanks, but no thanks," said Cody. "We're just here to talk to you about something."

"Oh yeah?" said Arwin. "Like what?"

"Like what happened to Patrick or London," said Zack.

"London I think is out on a cruise and might be coming back today," said Patrick. "I'm not entirely sure what happened to Patrick, though. The last time I talked to him, he said he had to go to the hospital because he came down with something called Chuck Cunningham syndrome. He said it was really serious."

"And how long ago was that?" asked Zack.

"A week ago," said Arwin. He frowned. "No, wait, I think it was yesterday...or was it a month ago?" He shrugged. "Who knows, it might have even been a year ago!"

He lightly laughed and slapped his left hand on the button that sent the jet pack back up. He screamed as the jet pack flew up and crashed through the basement roof.

Zack and Cody winced, but tension was relieved when they heard Arwin say, "I'm okay!"

Deciding that staying here was potentially hazardous to their health, Zack and Cody ran up the stairs.


Creeped out from how everyone was acting, Zack and Cody took the elevator to their floor and walked down the hallway to their room—and ran into Esteban.

"Oh, hello, blonde peoples," said Esteban cheerfully. "Isn't it a real shame about that guy who died?"

"Yeah," said Cody. "It was a real shame."

"Oh, I almost forget," said Zack. He pulled the cheque out of his pocket and said, "I think this is Muriel's."

Esteban snatched the cheque out of Zack's hands. Suddenly, he no longer looked like the humorous, stereotypical foreign guy he was. Now he looked serious. He darkly said, "Where did you find this?"

"Under a table downstairs," replied Zack. "Why do you ask?"

Esteban folded up the cheque and silently walked off to leave Zack and Cody standing there in bewilderment.


"This is getting weirder by the minute," commented Zack as he and Cody sat down at the table in their hotel room a few minutes later. "The next thing I know, gorillas will be falling out of the sky!"

Zack and Cody waited for about a minute and a half, expecting to see gorillas falling from the sky. When no gorillas came, Cody said, "So, let's get back to our re-write, shall we?"
