Webcam is the third episode in Season 1 and the third overall episode in the Nickelodeon TV series Zoey 101. Going by streaming and/or production order, this is the 5th episode of Season 1. The episode aired on January 16, 2005.

Plot

Zoey, Nicole, Dana and Vicky are playing a board game called Confess or Stress in the lounge, and Quinn joins them. Chase and Logan deliver some sushi to the girls. Logan says that he feels bad about the tension he's had with the girls and gives them a huge teddy bear as a present, which Chase says had nothing to do with him. The girls continue their game. Nicole confesses that she has a list on how cute boys' lips are, while Zoey is forced to prank call their English teacher. The next morning for some reason, Michael, Logan and a guy named Brad all make fun of Nicole about her cute lip chart. Then, Logan asks Zoey if she has Mr. Callahan's phone number. Everyone ends up knowing what they confessed and the stressful things they did. When Chase arrives for his delivery shift, he is about leave half for Logan, but their boss, Kazu, tells Chase that Logan called in sick, so Chase has to make all the deliveries again. More embarrassing things end up spreading around the school. As the girls are arguing about who it is, it turns out the culprit is Logan. He had installed a camera in the teddy bear's left eye as well as a microphone. Chase is still unaware about this.

Zoey asks Nicole and Quinn when this started happening, and they think back and remember the night they played Confess or Stress and ordered sushi. When Nicole reminds them that Logan brought them the teddy bear, they get suspicious and investigate the bear. Quinn uses a detector on it, and she tells Zoey and Nicole that there is a wireless webcam and microphone inside the bear. Zoey goes to the guys' room and furiously asks Chase if he had something to do with the bear. Chase is confused and asks Zoey to explain. When Zoey tells him about the webcam inside the bear, Chase is confused, but Zoey thinks he is playing dumb. After asking Chase where Logan's computer is, she turns his computer to reveal the girl's lounge. Upon seeing this, Chase is also furious as he realizes that Logan has been leaving Chase with all his deliveries so he could spy on the girls. They tell the girls about this, and they plan revenge on Logan. Michael, who was now in on tricking Logan, makes Logan watch what's going on in the girls lounge at 8:20. They see Kazu catch Chase for stealing sushi, Zoey smash a (breakaway) vase on Kazu's head, and plan to drag blame it on Logan. Logan tells Dean Rivers, but when they come to check it out, they see nothing is wrong. Logan is so desperate to tell him what he saw that he ended up revealing that he put a webcam in the bear to spy on the girls. Logan ends up getting in big trouble with Dean Rivers and losing his job as well. The girls put the bear outside PCA so that they can watch the sunset from their room.

  • It unknown why in one scene, all the girls thought it was Zoey who was causing their uncovered secrets. Even Nicole tried to blame her new best friend for causing all the mayhem. Zoey even says, "I'm a victim", which is true because she would never be a secret blurter, considering her own was revealed.

  • Morals:
    • When you have a job, you have a responsibility.

Goofs

  • When the camera cuts to Quinn, who is holding up the cue cards, you see that after Kazu says his line, Zoey's line is "You can't expel him!" and Chase's line is "My mom'll kill me!" However, after Kazu says his line, Chase says "Expelled?!" and Kazu says "You're going to prison!"
  • Why would Chase tell everybody to be in the girl's dorm at 8:15 pm? Coco told them in the next episode that boys aren't allowed in the girl's dorm after 8:00 pm.
  • Chase tells the girls to be at the dorm at 8:15 pm, but while Logan is getting Dean Rivers, it's suddenly daytime.
  • Quinn eats the fake plant even though she already knows there was a webcam in the bear and Logan could be spying on her.
  • In the very last scene, the laptop is sitting in Zoey's lap with her friends watching the relaxing beach scene. Then they show a close-up of the laptop's screen and it is no longer on her lap but on a tabletop with decor around it along with two laptop speakers sitting beside it, none of which was on Zoey's lap.
  • During the end, when the girls seems to be watching the sunset on the beach, if one would look out the window, that person would see that it's midday outside, and it looked nowhere near sunset.
  • At the end when the camera shows us Nicole, Zoey, and Dana sitting on the sofa, we can see through the window that it is a totally different view from the pilot episode and it is on the first floor with a view of steps.
  • Logan puts a webcam in the bear to spy on the girls. In real life, doing so is grounds for expulsion and possible jail sentence, yet Logan doesn't suffer either form of punishment.
