Emily refuses to let Zack go jet skiing with Hartley and sends him on a ""safe"" trip to watch a tennis match with Matt—where Zack gets hit in the face by a racket.

Zack wants to go to London with his soccer team, but Matt stipulates he'll have to earn the fare himself. Walter gets Zack a job at the coffee shop, but the owner soon demands that Walter fire him.
