"Bad Bear Day" is the first segment of the twenty-third episode of the Disney Channel animated series Hailey's On It!
Synopsis[]
Scott gets into an exclusive club at school thanks to an amazing hair gel but quickly regrets ignoring the gel's side effects.
Plot[]
Hailey and Scott are hanging out at the Oceanside carnival looking at old and outdated items, much to Beta's confusion who cannot understand their interests. When the Carnie asks if they are just going to stand and stare at his wares, he deduces that they want something more hidden, and pulls out some behind the counter items. Among them is a banned hair gel called Honey Doo, the same gel Scott used that turned Hailey onto him. The reason for the hair gel getting banned is because it scent is enough to attract bears. Scott throws caution to the wind and puts it on, resulting in everyone around him, including Hailey, to immediately find him attractive again.
At school, Scott is approached by Tommy D, a popular boy with similarly gorgeous hair. He is asked to join "The Rotunda", a supposed secret club within the school for students with great "natural" hair. Hailey realizes that this could complete her list item of getting into the Rotunda, but Beta tells her that the next item for her to complete is to be a candy bar, much to her annoyance. When at the entrance, Hailey is denied entry due to her "split ends" and Scott, rather ignorantly, tells her that he will see her later. The Rotunda turns out to be a haven for all "pretty" students with Scott telling Hailey over the phone that he isn't sure if he can get her in due to their strict rules.
A bear, named Roscoe, is being transported by Chainsaw suddenly breaks loose and rampages through the school. Hailey is forced to break into the Rotunda using a dumbwaiter and warns the kids. When Roscoe breaks into the club, Hailey turns on the sprinkler system, washing the Honey Doo from Scott's hair and taming Roscoe, with Chainsaw coming in and decrying how he does this "every week". Hailey and Scott are shocked to find that the other members also use Honey Doo. Scott apologizes for how he acted, but Hailey is happy she completed her Rotunda list, only for her to slip into a chocolate fountain and mix to become a candy bar, making Beta happy.
