"Moseby's Big Brother" is an episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Plot

Zack & Cody ask their mother to buy them new bikes, but she tells them that she doesn't have the money and they will have to buy bikes themselves. They decide to combine their money for one bike and share. Moseby tells Esteban and Maddie that his older brother Spencer, who is a big shot, is coming for a visit. When Spencer shows up he accuses his brother of underpaying the employees. When London tells Maddie about her horoscope, Maddie decides to mess with London by making up a fake horoscope and sending it to her. The horoscope tells London that she shouldn't hear music that night. London gives her concert tickets to Maddie and Esteban. Cody is mad because Zack rode the bike all day and by the time he came back it was dinner.

Moseby is happy that Spencer is checking out until he announces that he is broke and needs a place to stay. Moseby reluctantly gives him a job. Zack returns the bike to Cody after his turn of riding and it falls apart in pieces. In the latest horoscope, Maddie sends to London it tells her to wear a rabbit costume and she complies. Cody fixes the bike alone only to have Zack take it for another ride. London gives Maddie and Esteban her tickets to the fireman's ball because her horoscope said it was a bad day to go outside. Carey tells Moseby and Cody to stand up to their brothers. Spencer tells Moseby that he got his fortune back and is leaving. They end up fighting when Spencer makes fun of Moseby, who got unfair treatment because Moseby was not lactose intolerant. Cody tells Zack that he doesn't want to end up like the Moseby's and they make up. Later that night, Maddie and Esteban are leaving for the ball when London shows up dressed like a firefighter and sprays them with a hose.
