In a Pinch

"In a Pinch" is the second segment of the fourteenth episode of the Disney Channel animated series Hailey's On It!
==Synopsis==
When Hailey gets distracted by her list item instead of babysitting the school mascot, she lands herself in hot water.
==Plot==
Hailey is in the process of completing the task of removing all the change stuck in her dad's garage couch, a filthy piece of furniture. Scott and Beta are helping with the latter revealing that the reason for this list item being done is because Patricia plans on throwing it out, news that shocks Kai as he believes that the couch as sentimental value and wants to keep it. Hailey does not even get the chance to finish the task as she and Scott go to school. Just as Scott comes up with a good idea, simply using a vacuum cleaner, Miss Jackson arrives tasking Hailey with looking after Clawdia, the school's mascot, and advises her to take good care of her for the volleyball tournament later. 
Hailey ends up becoming too preoccupied with finishing her list item to focus on tending to Clawdia and continues to try and clean out the couch by any means necessary, including the use of a machine of her own design. Despite this, she is incapable of completing the list item. Meanwhile, Scott is tasked with looking after Clawdia and ends up having a good time with her. He then gives her a "hot bath", but when Hailey smells "seafood", the two of them realize that Clawdia is being boiled and find him unconscious in the tub. Miss Jackson calls, but Hailey is able to hold her off. Needing to get Clawdia to the game, Scott comes up with an idea.
At the volleyball tournament, Scott, having gone to marionette camp, uses dental floss to make the unconscious Clawdia dance, invigorating the crowd into cheering for their team. Clawdia manages to wake up and starts dancing on ers own, much to Hailey and Scott's surprise. Miss Jackson thanks the two for taking care of Clawdia, before revealing that he has a habit of randomly falling unconscious without warning. Hailey is allowed to keep Clawdia a while longer and uses her to get the last coin out of her couch, completing the list item. Just as the couch is being taken away, Patricia tells Kai that he can buy any couch now. He buys back his couch just as it is leaving. Patricia ultimately gives up trying to force her husband to part with his beloved couch before everyone joins in a group hug.
