Carey receives flowers and a poem from a secret admirer. Zack, Cody, and Maddie believe it is the new employee - Serge the Concierge - and he admits to sending the gifts. Serge is a bit of a jerk and treats the boys shabbily. While their mom is out on her date, they discover that Arwin is actually infatuated with Carey. The boys and Maddie work to clean Arwin up and to expose Serge as a pretender. Ultimately, Carey lets Arwin down gently, dumps Serge, and the boys dump llama milk on his head.

The band plays "Hail to the Chief" as they expect Mr. Tipton to arrive, the same song that is played for the President of the United States.
The title is a pun of The Prince and the Pauper.
In this episode Cody and Maddie pretend to be Prince and Princess Bapa-Lapa Shamalama Ding Dong.
When Carey talks about not dating her secret admirer if he is a stalker or an ex-fellon, Muriel says, "Don't knock it till you've tried it." Refering to the episode, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Hotel." When the cast is in a daydream and young Muriel turns down a date from "Hot Peppers" DeLeo, an ex-fellon.

Serge: Llama milk? Your husband said to get goat milk.
Maddie: My husband Prince Bapa-Lapa Shamalama Ding Dong is a DING DONG!

Carey: Hey, Serge, I have a poem for you. "Violets are blue, roses are red. My boys were right — go soak your head." (Carey exits as Zack and Cody pour the 2 buckets of milk on Serge's head.)

Cdoy: And she'll be happy!

[edit] Goofs

When Carey said she going to fill the vase the water, Zack and Cody talk about the ups if their mom started dating, when Carey returned there is still only a little water in the vase.

When Serge enters to pick Carey up for her date, he sits down on a nearby chair. We see the curtains are closed and sunlight is pouring through. However, when Carey runs out of the bathroom, the curtains are open and you can see the city and a night-sky.
