Plot

Vince Blake appears to be the ladies' man, the best school athlete and the savior of the football team. He helped PCA advance to the state championships. Little do people know, he is in fact a cheater; Chase caught him taking pictures of a history test with his cell phone. Chase must choose not to tell the teacher and let Vince cheat more or make PCA lose its biggest football game. Logan, Michael, and the football team convince him not to tell, but Zoey thinks he should.

In the end, Chase tries and fails to convince Vince to stop cheating in return for keeping his mouth shut. He outs Vince in front of their entire class and proves that he cheated after the pictures of the test answers are found on his cellphone. Zoey tells Chase that he did the right thing and he shouldn’t feel bad, he thanks her as she takes her leave. It is then that Vince along with the rest of the football team (Minus Logan and Michael) show up. They are intent on getting revenge on Chase for not heeding their warning, but just then Michael, Logan, and Mark (Unwittingly) show up to help Chase.

They all get beaten up, and are shown being tended to by Zoey, Lola, and Quinn who leaves after learning Mark was also involved. In the end it is revealed that Vince was expelled for his actions.

Meanwhile, Zoey, Lola, Quinn, and Mark buy and order healthy snacks called Moon Bars to try and persuade the students to stop eating junk food, but ends in chaos as they turn out to be addictive after Quinn and Mark put cactus goo in them to enhance their flavor. The end of the episode shows Zoey, Lola, and Quinn being chased by many of the students for the last Moon bar that Quinn had on her. Zoey gives the moon bar to Vince, who in turn gets tackled and attacked by the students for the last moon bar.

Episode Trivia

  • Paul Butcher (Dustin Brooks) did not appear in this episode.
  • This episode marks the second time blood is shown. The first time being Welcome to PCA.
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Vince Blake.
  • Going by production order, this is the 6th episode of Season 3.
  • It is implied Dean Rivers has an older daughter who is married, because he said his "son-in-law" bought him the miniature pool table.
  • While Zoey, Quinn, and Lola were placing Moonbars in the vending machine, if you look closely, you can see a Snickers bar.
  • The unhealthy baked good, described as a "sphere of marshmellowy pinkness", that Michael had, looks like a Fat Cake from iCarly.
  • The Moon Bars are a parody of the real life snack Luna Bars.
  • The fictional area that Quinn mentions where the special cactus is from with the cactus goo in it to put in the Moon Bars called Guadala Picchu is likely a parody of the real-life 15th century Inca Citadel Machu Picchu in Peru.
  • Vince was shown at PCA at the end of the episode. This indicates that his expulsion occurred after that.
  • Morals:
    • Cheaters never prosper. Someone is going to find out and expose you for cheating.
    • It does not matter what your status is (e.g., best athlete), you still have to suffer the consequences for breaking the rules.
    • Watch what you put in your food as it may have unintended side effects.

Goofs

  • Zoey and Lola tasted the Moonbars with cactus goo, but didn't get addicted. This was likely due to the fact that they only had one small bite.
  • The whole football team would've been expelled, let alone forfeit their next game, for beating up the guys.
  • When Zoey, Quinn, and Lola were watching all of the PCA students going crazy over the Moon Bars, a tall, short haired blond girl in red was just leaving the vending machine with a Moon Bar. In the next scene where Zoey was talking to Lola and Quinn, the tall girl was walking up to the vending machine again.
