Quinn Misses the Mark is the sixth episode of Season 4 and the 58th overall episode of the Nickelodeon TV series Zoey 101. The episode originally aired on February 24, 2008.
Plot
Quinn and Mark agree to take a break from dating, which Quinn initially accepts, believing Mark just needs some time alone. However, she becomes upset when she sees him with a girl named Brooke. In an effort to win Mark back, Quinn changes her hairstyle, clothes, and makeup. Though her attempts to rekindle their relationship don’t go as planned, she attracts attention from other guys. Mark later reveals that he is dating Brooke because of her personality, not her appearance. Comforted by Logan, Quinn ends up sharing a kiss with him.
Meanwhile, a horse starts following Michael after he feeds it Logan's cookies. Despite his efforts to shoo it away, Michael grows attached to the horse, naming it Sparkplug, and proudly shows it around campus. Eventually, Sparkplug's owner arrives at PCA searching for her lost horse, named Winchester. Michael reluctantly bids an emotional farewell to Winchester.
