When Zack and Cody went down to Arwin's room, Arwin was hiding a machine under a blanket. The boys were curious, and Arwin finally revealed what it was. Arwin then needed to go to the "Little Janitor's Room", Zack and Cody went inside the machine. Zack puts a quarter in the machine and then Cody swipes his bus pass and the machine works. The fan at the top spins and the P.U. is struck by lightning. Zack and Cody hopped out of the machine and they were in an alternate reality. A lot had changed.
