Election is the third episode in Season 2 and the 16th overall episode in the Nickelodeon TV series, Zoey 101. The episode aired on October 16, 2005.

Plot

It's election time. Class presidents have to be voted for and Chase and Zoey nominate each other, both feeling the other would be a good president, although neither of them truly wants to be president. Quinn's boyfriend, Mark Del Figgalo is elected as well. Zoey and Chase make a pact that whatever happens, they promise that the election won't affect their friendship. However, when Logan helps Chase win the election (against his will) by giving away smoothies and school cash for votes for Chase, Zoey gets mad at Chase, thinking he's behind it.

Things go from bad to worse when a commercial smearing Chase, and promoting Zoey appears on the PCA TV's. Everyone becomes angry at Zoey, thinking she created it, but it turns out Chase was the one who created it, thinking it would help Zoey win. After realizing how badly it backfired, Chase confesses via teleconference that he himself created the commercial and drops out of the election. He and Zoey make amends later, and Zoey reveals she's dropped out of the election as well. With Chase and Zoey both dropped from the ballot, Mark goes on to win, much to Quinn's delight.

Cast ( order of appearance)

Episode Trivia

  • Paul Butcher (Dustin Brooks) did not appear in this episode.
  • A season two episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (which both Alexa Nikolas and Victoria Justice have guest starred on), a Disney Channel Original Series, has the same title.
  • The picture of Zoey in the end of the commercial about Chase was taken from the episode called "Broadcast Views". You can see that from the top that she wears, the red chair she's sitting on, and from the background.
  • This is the first episode where Nicole is shown wearing bottoms that go to her feet.
  • In this episode, Quinn states that Mark will be her future husband, implying she saw herself marrying him. Then 2 seasons later, they end up breaking up and Quinn falls for Logan, who she ends up with and marrying years later in Zoey 102.
  • This is the first episode where Zoey and Nicole seem to not like Mark very much, due to his personality.
  • Lola meets Mark for the first time.
  • Chase mentions that Michael dated a girl named Karen Franklin two years prior to the episode. In the last episode, Logan plans to take a girl named Mandy Franklin to the prom, before he cancels her. It's unknown if they are related at all or if it was just a coincidence.
  • Though Nicole knew Zoey was not the creator of the vid Chase made, she had to hide that in order to blend in with the other girls who were already upset with the latter.

Goofs

  • When Quinn is showing the poll, Nicole asks about the green thing, but all the bars clearly stated each campaigners' name, so it should have been obvious what it was.
  • When Zoey says she didn't know Mark's last name is Del Figgalo, it was an obvious continuity error, because Courtney said his last name in front of her in Quinn's Date.
  • The Election caption error

    "Steals bunnies from little girls."

    When Chase begins his confession to everyone of being the true creator of the commercial at the conference on the PCA News, the last list he said he lied in his commercial was about him picking on little girls. But the caption says that he steals bunnies from little girls.
