"How Kristine Goat Her Groove Back" is the first segment of the twenty-seventh episode of the Disney Channel animated series Hailey's On It!
Synopsis[]
Kristine and Hailey go to a local spa where Kristine has a goat-induced revelation.
Plot[]
Kristine wins in the finals on Hat House and becomes an overnight superstar, gaining followers and adoration from the public. As Scott gladly tells Hailey his new job scrubbing barnacles, Hailey is told by Beta that now that Kristine is absorbed by fame, she can easily go and ask Scott out now. Immediately afterwards, news spreads of the new season of Hat House featuring social media influencer Ben Ling and Kristine suddenly loses all attention, becoming hopelessly inconsolable and swears off hats. Realizing that she cannot ask her about Scott now, Hailey takes it upon herself to cheer Kristine up by taking her to the spa, one of the prizes from the show.
At the spa, Hailey attempts to ask Kristine about Scott several times, but is constantly interrupted, or in one case Kristine falls asleep from the massage. While relaxing in the steam room, Kristine becomes loopy and begins to hallucinate entering a forest with an anthropomorphic Yoga Goat who leads her on a mind-bending journey through her subconscious. Kristine eventually catches up to Yoga Goat and voices her concerns about having already peaked in her teen years. Yoga Goat tells her that she needs to find what it is she "loves" and embrace that. Kristine believes that this means Scott and wakes up from her hallucination.
Kristine proceeds to run to the pier to look for Scott with Hailey in pursuit. She runs up and hugs him, only to say that she doesn't feel anything for him anymore, much to her confusion. A hat flies in her direction and Kristine realizes that she loves hats more than anything and should not give up on that. Kristine confirms with Hailey that she is no longer interested in Scott and that she is okay with him dating someone else, ambiguously implying that she knows Hailey likes him. Hailey is overjoyed by the fact that now there is nothing in the way between her and asking Scott out, only to be intimidated by this prospect.
