Description

Leather Jacket Hailey / In a Pinch "Leather Jacket Hailey": Hailey feels that she is being pushed around and taken advantage of and is further incensed when Kristine returns to Oceanside for her show Hat House and has Hailey assist her. Hailey comes across a leather jacket that suddenly makes her more confident and tough. This results in her blowing off her duties, but making everyone else around her take control of their own situations. The rest of the kids assisting Kristine get the wrong idea from Hailey and plant an explosive in one of her hats. Hailey uses the jacket to muffle the explosion before giving a speech to everyone about being open with your feelings. Scott gives modeling a try, though he immediately gets over it, and Hailey openly gets mad at her science project partner. "In a Pinch": Hailey is tasked with looking after Pinchy, the school's crab mascot, by Ms. Jackson. Hailey is distracted by her current task of getting all the change out of the old couch, so she asks Scott to look after him. He accidentally leaves him in a bathtub with hot water and the two believe that he is dead. Seeing as how Pinchy needs to be at a tetherball tournament that evening, Scott uses his marionette skills to make Pinchy look alive. Pinchy eventually does come back to life and Ms. Jackson reveals that Pinchy has a habit of falling unconscious. Hailey uses Pinchy to get the last coin out of the couch just in time for Patricia to sell it, though Kai ends up buying it back.
