- Jackie – “Did I get your heart racing?”
- Zack – “A little.”
- — Jackie and Zack.
Zackie is the het ship between Zack Underwood and Jackie in the Milo Murphy's Law fandom.
Canon[]
Zack first met and fell in love with Jackie in "The Wilder West", when he, Milo, and Melissa went to the Dude Ranch for the weekend. They three were approached by a masked bandit on a horse, who turned out to be a nice little girl, who just wanted to be their friend and welcome them to her cowgirl lifestyle. Zack was immediately enamored by her beauty and admitted that she got his heart racing a little in more ways than one. Zack ended up being so transfixed with Jackie that he wasn't even talking to Melissa and Milo anymore, since now, his whole world was just Jackie. Zack would prove to be very out of character around Jackie, when his aversion to danger was swiftly replaced with a zest for adventure. Zack was now totally on board with going for wild horseback rides up dangerous mountains with impending avalanches, venomous rattlesnakes, and live scorpions all around. Zack would even throw all logic and reason out the window in favor of Jackie, believing that the worst case scenario could never come about, even though he knew full well that Milo was in their presence. Zack was so happy, that he didn't even care when they got caught in a deadly avalanche, worrying very little for his own well-being. Even Melissa was starting to get annoyed with Zack's constant urge for more dangerous activities. Zack even acted a little stupid around Jackie, thanking her deeply for taking them for a serene walk through a shallow river. However, his infatuation vanished in a flash, literally, when lightning struck and a big rain washed them all down the river. Zack was hit with the realization that he had just thrown himself into certain death all for a girl and he screamed for his life as he and his friends were about to go over a waterfall to their deaths. This terror was amplified by the fact that even Jackie was screaming for her life. Thankfully for them, Milo was listening to Jackie, way better than Zack and Melissa were, when she was teaching them about rope lassoing and he used his lasso skills to save them all from the river and bring them to shore. Zack returned to normalcy and declared that Jackie was indeed crazy, which he was just blind to before thanks to her beauty. When Zack finally left, however, he held no ill-will toward this dangerous cowgirl, still viewing her as just a friend. He advised her to stay safe out there, which they both knew she would never do.
Fanon[]
Despite only appearing in one episode, Jackie is an occasionally shipped partner for Zack Underwood. Some people enjoy how Jackie helped Zack to become more outgoing and tolerant of danger, which was something he really needed to work on in the show. They also liked how they gave each other the pet names, "Boy Band" and "Cool Ranch", thinking these were perfect names for a boyfriend and girlfriend to call each other. Shippers believe that if Jackie appeared in the show more and remained in her relationship with Zack, he could have undergone quicker character development.
However, those opposed to the ship think that this drastic change in his character would have actually been worse to his progression on the show, as it would not only have been too much all at once, but also too much of the other extreme. Zack exhibited foolish behavior that was dangerous to himself and others, which would not have meshed well with his friend's bad case of Murphy's Law. Additionally, it seemed that the only reason Zack liked her anyway was because of her appearance and not because of any similarities in their personalities or interests.
Rival ships include but are not limited to; Zalissa, Zlydia, Zaronica, and Zalo. One unusual variation of this ship is a poly ship between the two of them and Melissa.
