Synopsis
Season 1: Pacific Coast Academy, California, has long been a boarding school for boys only and has just started accepting girls. The show follows newcomer Zoey Brooks and her roommates Nicole and Dana, alongside their guy friends Chase, Michael, and Logan through their various misadventures. Also, drama is added to the series through Chase's crush on Zoey, who remains oblivious though it's obvious to everyone else.
Season 2: Zoey and her friends attend their Second Semester at PCA. Zoey and her friends have new adventures during Season 2 along with a new student, Lola Martinez, that becomes Zoey and Nicole's new Roommate. Dana Cruz doesn't return when she is offered a special Student Exchange Program in Paris, France. At the end, Zoey and the gang go to Logan's Summer House during the first Zoey 101 TV-movie: Zoey 101: Spring Break Up. Michael tells Chase this is the time to tell Zoey he loves her.
Season 3 : It's a new year a PCA, and there are shocking surprises, Nicole is sent to an All Girls School, after she was diagnosed with OMGD (Obsessive Male Gender Disorder), so Quinn becomes Zoey and Lola's new roommate. Zoey and the Gang have brand new adventures at PCA, like the Second TV-movie, Zoey 101: The Curse of PCA and surprises at Zoey 101: Goodbye Zoey?. After Zoey leaves with her parents to London, Stacey becomes Lola and Quinn's new Roommate and Chase admits to Michael and Logan that he misses Zoey...and loves her. Zoey finds out the same time when Chase tells Michael and Logan, via-webcam. Zoey has yet to meet face-to-face with Chase after he admits he loves her.
Season 4 : Zoey, already hearing how Chase feels about her, decides to make a PCA comeback. This season will encounter many twists and turns not seen in Seasons 2 and 3 already. The drama builds with each show as Zoey attempts to get her message to Chase with any possible opportunity. Will Chase and Zoey finally bridge into a long-waited relationship or will the FINAL season of Zoey be a succeeding cliffhanger to Season 3's "Goodbye Zoey"? Only time will tell.
Zoey 101 is ending 18th may 2008
