*List of episodes*

— Hailey Banks

"**Leather Jacket Hailey**" is the first segment in the fourteenth episode of the first season of ***Hailey's On It!***. It is also the twenty-fifth episode of the season overall. It premiered on August 5, 2023 on Disney Channel.

Plot
Hailey is in the process of creating a diorama for her science class, but her lab partner Tina has bailed on her to take care of her sick grandmother. Beta asks that Hailey crochet a pillow for him, only to realize that it was not a list item, has to help her mother with the filters on her phone during an intense phone meeting, and her father eats the snack she prepared herself. To make matters more hectic, Scott arrives to tell Hailey that Kristine is coming back into town and she wants Hailey, her "bestie", to help with an upcoming fashion show on the television series *Hat House*. Hailey is forced to deal with Kristine's tasks and becomes annoyed at being taken for granted.
Hailey is told to try on a leather jacket which upon donning, suddenly causes a change in her. Hailey becomes dominant, disinterested, and cooler to the people around her. She starts giving off weird vibes to everyone, including Scott who comically thinks he is being mugged, and encounters Tina, who is out shopping with her grandmother, and forces her to finish their school work. Hailey tells Beta that she likes her new persona and refuses to take off the jacket, even blowing off her parents when they come in with their same problems. Hailey is told to return the jacket, but she refuses and even tells off Kristine when she asks for it back.
To Hailey's surprise, Chainsaw and the rest of the stage people tell her that they were inspired by her attitude and planted an ink bomb in one of the hats for the talent show. Hailey runs out onto the stage and uses the jacket to cover the hat where it safely explodes. Hailey gives a speech about how being rude as a coping mechanism is wrong and that they should just be open about themselves. At this point, Scott reveals that he wants to be a model, a tactic that ends up sending Kristine to the finals, though shortly afterwards Scott moves onto something else. Tina arrives with the project, having finished it for Hailey, but when Hailey sees that she simply threw glitter on the whole thing, she angrily chases after her.
