Surprise is the first episode in Season 3 and the 27th overall episode in the Nickelodeon TV series, Zoey 101. The episode aired on September 24, 2006.

Plot

It's a new year at PCA which leads to several surprises, including the news that Nicole will not be returning to PCA due to being diagnosed with "Obsessive Male Gender Disorder" (OMGD), and sent to an all-girls school.

Zoey and Lola notice Quinn in the lounge arguing with Coco, saying she has been assigned a non-existent room. Coco checks the clipboard and remembers she ordered a bra online while doing room assignments and wrote her bra size "36D" as Quinn's room number by mistake. With Nicole's departure leaving an opening in room 101, Coco has Quinn move in with Zoey and Lola, much to their dismay.

After everyone settles into their new rooms, Chase tells Zoey he wants to talk with her privately. Lola and Quinn tell Zoey that Chase wants to tell her that he is in love with her, but she doesn't believe them. To prove it, she goes to Chase's room to speak to him, but walks in on him kissing his new girlfriend, Rebecca.

Meanwhile, Chase, Michael and Logan race to their new room to get the single bed. When Michael and Logan arrived at the same time, they must figure out a way to see who gets the single bed. They attempt to eat hot peppers, but it results in a tie. They try boxing, but Dustin stops them and has them flip a coin. Michael calls tails, which is what the coin lands on, giving Michael the single bed. Both still wearing their boxing gloves, Logan punches Michael to the ground and says, "Sweet Dreams."

Trivia

  • Alexa Nikolas is no longer a regular cast member, due to the abuse of Dan Schneider and the bullying of the cast.
  • It is learned that Chase, Michael and Logan's dorm this season is in Maxwell Hall.
    • It is also learned that Zoey, Lola and Quinn’s dorm this season is in Fulton Hall.
  • Chase's first kiss on the show is in this episode.
  • Zoey, Lola, Quinn and Coco all know about Nicole being diagnosed with Obsessive Male Gender Disorder. Chase is the only male character to talk about it.
  • This episode takes place right before the following episode, Chase's Girlfriend.
  • It is revealed that Lola has a little sister who always got the top bunk.
  • Although it is said that Nicole will only be away until she is cured of her OMGD, implying that she will someday return, she never appears in the series again.
    • It is possible she returned to PCA after the final episode.

Goofs

  • When Quinn is trying to capture the bees, the closet behind her is open. When Zoey is running towards the closet, it is closed, and she has to open it to get in.
  • It's impossible to catch bees with a net, because the bees could just fly through the net if it did go in, and it could also fly out of the net.
  • Logan says that he always got the single bed, but in "The Play," he slept on the top bunk. Although, they could have temporarily switched, this is unlikely as it was not mentioned.
