Paige at PCA is the thirteenth episode of Season 3 and the 39th overall episode of the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101. It is the eighteenth episode of Season 3 in streaming and production order. The episode originally aired on August 10, 2007.

Plot

A science prodigy named Paige Howard, portrayed by guest star Miranda Cosgrove, attends PCA and is going to install her new proton energy converter to make PCA run on "Paige Power". This upsets Quinn because she realizes that she may no longer be the smartest student on campus, causing her to give up science and begin acting careless and lazy. Meanwhile, Chase and Logan try to convince Michael that he is going crazy as part of a psychology project after he refuses to do his share of the work.

Trivia

  • Paul Butcher (Dustin Brooks) does not appear in this episode.
  • In the scene following Michael's discovery that Chase and Logan were deliberately driving him crazy, Drake Bell's song "Fool the World" can be heard playing in the background.
  • Lola reveals that her feet are two different sizes, with her left foot being a size 6.5 and her right foot a size 5.5. She is the third character on the show to have a foot abnormality, following Quinn, who has an extra toe on her right foot, and Zoey, who has a toenail shaped like a corn chip.
  • Throughout the episode, it's mentioned that Quinn is two years older than Paige. However, the news reporter at the end states that Paige is 13 and Quinn is 14, meaning they are only one year apart. It's possible that Paige's birthday is earlier in the year than Quinn's.
  • Miranda Cosgrove's guest appearance as Paige was part of Nickelodeon's "Miranda Madness" premiere night, which aired on August 10, 2007. This event also featured her guest roles in Unfabulous and Just Jordan and was used to promote her upcoming series, iCarly, which premiered a month after Paige at PCA.
  • Coco's cousin returned in Season 4 in the episode Roller Coaster, where it turns out he manages Mystic Mountain. He asks Michael if he remembers the psychology incident, something Michael would rather not talk about.
