Anger Management is the fifth episode of Season 4 and the 57th overall episode of the Nickelodeon TV series Zoey 101. The episode originally aired on February 17, 2008.

Plot

Dustin becomes Logan's new assistant, but the job ends abruptly when Logan leaves an angry voicemail that Dustin shows to James, Michael, and Zoey. James then posts the voicemail online, leading to Dean Rivers being wrongly blamed. In response, Dean Rivers sentences Logan to 10 weeks of anger management classes. Logan's father negotiates with Dean Rivers and anger management teacher Mr. Higley, agreeing that if Logan can go two weeks without yelling, he can avoid the classes.

Zoey, Dustin, and James's attempt to provoke Logan by sabotaging his art project and applying honey to his Jet-X, but Logan controls his anger. A paint grenade invented by Quinn seems to end their efforts, but Logan ultimately loses his temper at Zoey, Dustin, and James, prompting Mr. Higley and Dean Rivers to reinstate the remaining nine anger management sessions. At his next class, Logan remains silent after being yelled at by other students. Meanwhile, Lola unknowingly eats peanuts that Quinn had spat out after sucking the chocolate off. She becomes angry with Quinn for not immediately telling her that she had already put them in her mouth. After trying to talk things over, Lola tells Quinn to drink the Blix she had gargled and spit into a cup, saying they could be friends again if she did. Quinn hesitates but decides to go for it to make Lola happy. However, before Quinn can follow through, Lola stops her, grossed out by the idea, and says that Quinn's willingness was enough. They make up and agree to go gawk at guys in the lounge.

Trivia

• In the first scene where Lola is ignoring Quinn, iCarly.com can be seen on her laptop screen.
• This episode marks Dustin's first appearance in Season 4, with his voice being noticeably deeper.
• This is the fourth and last episode where Logan is tricked by the other main characters with an elaborate scheme. The first three are Webcam, Haunted House and Logan Gets Cut Off. Each episode aired in a different season.
• This episode premiered on TurboNick four days before it aired on television.
• The scene where Lola asks Quinn to drink her gargled Blix is similar to the Friends episode "The One Where No One's Ready," when Rachel makes Ross drink a glass of chicken fat. Lola saying “the fact that you would is enough” after preventing Quinn from drinking her gargled Blix is similar to the Drake & Josh episode Grammy where Grammy prevents Drake from telling his parents he went to the rock shock concert by saying she beat him in basketball. She says she saw he was about to tell them, which was good enough for her.
• In production order, this is the fourth episode of Season 4.
• The show Point of View is a parody of the American show The View. The hosts discussing Logan's viral video are parodies of Rosie O'Donnell, Joy Behar, Barbara Walters, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
• During the 2019 cast reunion on social media, Erin Sanders and Victoria Justice revealed that Victoria actually ate peanuts that had been in Erin's mouth.
• Logan's art project appears to be created using KNEX toys.
• This episode shares similarities with the Henry Danger episode "JAM Session", another series created by Dan Schneider.
• Ending Tagline: "Drink my gargle." - Lola

Goofs

• Zoey, Dustin, and James could have gone straight to Dean Rivers with the voicemail rather than posting it online.
• Zoey, Dustin, and James would have been expelled from PCA for harassing and bullying Logan to get him to lose his temper.
