Logan Gets Cut Off is the twenty-third episode in Season 3 and the 49th overall episode in the Nickelodeon TV series, Zoey 101. The episode aired on December 9, 2007.

Plot

Logan is in hot water when his dad discovers that he used his credit card, which was only to be used for textbooks, food, and some occasional entertainment with friends, to purchase a $327,000.00 car (for which Logan doesn't even have a license to drive yet, and was planning to use for the sole purpose of making out with girls in) without his permission. Malcolm immediately steps in and takes control: he forcefully returns the car, takes away all of Logan's luxuries and expensive possessions, closes his bank account, and cuts his credit card in half. Without all his financial recources, Logan is completely helpless to do anything, even proving inept at doing his own hair and laundry. Eventually, Logan becomes so desperate for cash, he allows students to throw tomatoes at him for a dollar each. Zoey, Lola, and Chase reluctantly take pity on Logan, and they attempt to teach him how to fend for himself without money or luxuries. When Logan doesn't seem to be learning, Zoey does Logan's laundry, Lola helps him with his hair, Chase types out his history report. This goes on for some time.

Later on, the three find out that Logan's father had given him a second chance, and had returned his money and luxuries back, and had given him a new credit card. As Logan had neglected to mention this to anybody for over a week, they realize he had deliberately been taking advantage of them, and they figure out a way to get revenge. They trick Logan into using his credit card to purchase a seemingly valuable set of coins, for $100,000.00 from Firewire. Again, Malcolm confronts Logan about the unauthorized six-figure transaction, but this time, Logan insists that purchase was worth far more than what he paid. The Reese family butler, Chauncy, inspects the coins and determines they are counterfeit, and aren't worth more than 75 cents total, leaving Logan to face his father's wrath and presumably be cut off again (although Zoey, Lola and Chase do intend to have the transaction undone and return Malcolm's money).

Meanwhile, Michael, being inspired by the magician, the Great Doheny, says he can get out of any difficultly tied ropes, so Mark and Quinn tie him up to see what he can do. Does he have the skills he says he has?

Goofs

  • Albeit, he could just be too lazy to do it himself sometimes.
