Son of a Dean is the twentieth episode in Season 3 and the 46th overall episode in the Nickelodeon TV series, Zoey 101. It is the 19th episode of Season 3 in streaming and production order. The episode aired on November 4, 2007.

Plot

Zoey starts dating Lance, Dean Rivers' son, and as a result, Quinn was able to get the new mattress she requested sooner than expected, and Lola got the girls a better refrigerator in their dorm room upon request. However, when Zoey wins a lottery for a ticket to the Hollywood premiere of a movie (with a free limo ride on the way), Lola and Quinn start to believe that Lance rigged the ticket so Zoey can win, since apparently, Dean Rivers got two tickets; one for [Lance], and the other was to be raffled.

At first, Zoey believed that she got the ticket fair and square, and got mad at her roommates for accusing Lance of rigging it while they accuse her for knowing about it. However, en route to the premiere, Lance openly admits that he did rig the ticket so Zoey can have it and they can go together. Realizing that her roommates were right, Zoey decided to not go and headed back to PCA. After returning to her dorm, Zoey tells her roommates that they were right about Lance rigging the raffle then apologized to them for not believing them, and they in return apologized to her for not being nice about it as they understand that the raffle rig wasn't her fault.

Meanwhile, Chase and Michael were tasked to submit 26 episodes of The Chase & Michael Show to toonjuice.com by the end of the following month. However, the first episode they submitted, where their characters are bowling pins afraid of a bowling ball rolling towards them, gets them sued by a TV show called Friday Night Live for apparently ripping off their sketch. Chase and Michael then snuck into the limo Zoey was riding to the premiere to get to the set of Friday Night Live to talk the producer about dropping the charges. The producer ends up dropping the lawsuit after learning (along with Chase and Michael) they were not the the first show to do the bowling pin sketch either.

Meanwhile, Logan videotapes himself dancing, and then sends DVD copies of the video to all the girls in PCA so they can dance with him "virtually" especially Stacey, who has a major crush on him.
