An invitation to his first college party at Boston College, which he begrudgingly accepts from Nick, gives Zach an idea as to how he may be able to pursue both college and fame at the same time; he has been accepted into Emerson College, but plans to pass the opportunity up in favor of his quest for fame. Towards the end of the party, he becomes upset over Amy's budding relationship with Nick, as he had subconsciously considered Amy a fallback romantic option and realizes that he had taken her for granted.
A recent high school graduate who opts to pursue a life of fame instead of attending college, subsequently hiring a camera crew to film his daily life as a "pre-celebrity" in his quest to become famous overnight despite being essentially talentless.
Zach challenges Nick to a cook-off to try and attempts to become a celebrity chef. Zach jumps at the chance to cater at the book club that his parents attend, which is hosted by Nick's mother, but he fails spectacularly and tries to serve the guests raw shrimp. However, witnessing Zach's embarrassment gives his parents the courage to finally stand up to Nick's mother and call out her pretentiousness.
Believing that "America wants competitive love", Zach plans to deliver by hosting his new Bachelor rip-off show The Zachelor.
With a fake ransom video and well-planned disappearance, Zach goes "missing" to garner evening news fame in hopes of America watching with bated breath. However, his younger brother Andy is the first in their household to receive Zach's ransom video; quickly recognizing it as fake, he keeps it to himself in order to ruin Zach's plan. Zach returns to his household after only 26 hours and ruins a family game night while venting his frustrations. Nick throws Amy a surprise party but only gets a lukewarm response from her, after which she goes to console Zach, making him realize that she is the only person to welcome him back with any enthusiasm after his staged disappearance.
To win a bet with Andy as to who gets scared first, Zach plans a hoax to film him in an "ultimate scare video" to become the next YouTube sensation. He eventually challenges Andy to spend the night in a locally infamous abandoned house. Greg and Amy accompany them on the sleepover, which makes Nick act uncharacteristically jealous towards Amy. Towards the end of the night, Zach and Amy kiss each other.
Zach's life feels magical after kissing Amy, and his chance to be a movie star beckons after he performs a good audition for a student film. While working his grocery store job, he crosses paths with Nick, who reveals that he and Amy broke up. When Zach lets slip that he and Amy kissed, Nick physically assaults Zach before Zach's boss Pat kicks Nick out of the store. Zach later shows up at Amy's front porch with a showy proposal for the two of them to go steady, but when Amy confesses that she feels conflicted and hesitates to jump into a relationship with him right away, Zach accuses her of using him for experience for a supposed promiscuous phase in college. Despite the outburst, they later agree to reconcile as friends. Zach's romantically-charged mood swings throughout the episode help him to land a starring role in the student film, but they later cause him to get fired.
After seeing a man being interviewed on television for saving children from a burning building, Zach decides that he is going to be a hero. Greg agrees to pose as a drowning victim for Zach to save on camera, despite being busy preparing to move to a new town for college. Greg gets frustrated enough to call out Zach's selfish ways to his face, but they later reconcile. Zach brings a homemade DVD of his staged rescue to a local news station, but an employee immediately throws it away as soon as Zach turns his back.
A big TV news station is preparing a story on Zach's search for fame, causing more drama within his family; his parents reluctantly agree to appear in the broadcast but Andy refuses, resulting in Zach's camera crew member Marcus posing as his younger brother despite being Asian. Amy walks in on the interview being filmed and is distraught to overhear Zach say that he wants to "do this alone" and just wants "to be famous". Zach goes to see Amy one last time before she leaves for college, but her mother tells him that she already left; in reality, she is sitting on the stairs in her house, quietly crying while listening to her mother lie for her. When Zach goes to the news station for a live interview, he is shown videos of his parents, brother, and Amy praising him despite his selfish behavior. He has an epiphany and leaves the studio during the broadcast in hopes of reconciling with Amy, only to find her already waiting for him in the parking lot. They reunite with a kiss, but are interrupted when the security gate opens to reveal dozens of people who have become Zach's fans after watching the news. While Zach immediately basks in his newfound fame, Amy looks extremely doubtful and disappointed.
