"No Sprain, No Gain" is the first segment of the twenty-fifth episode of the Disney Channel animated series, Hamster & Gretel.
Synopsis[]
Kevin is stuck at home with a sprained ankle as the rest of the gang tries to stop a strange jewel thief.
Plot[]
Kevin is bedridden due to a sprained ankle, choosing not to join Hamster, Gretel, and Fred on a call to stop a jewel thief due to his embarrassment about his unicorn-themed scooter. Fred finds a spiderweb-coated secret passage behind a painting, which Hamster and Gretel initially refuse to enter due to their shared aversion to spiders. However, they eventually relent and fall through a hole leading to an arcade the mall was apparently built on top of after being covered with cement. The three then meet Itsy Bitsy, a former jewel thief candidate who received the power to shoot spiderwebs from her underarms from the same aliens that gave Hamster and Gretel their powers.
As Hamster and Gretel are captured, Fred calls Kevin to help them. After Kevin witnesses Fred get captured as well, Kevin decides to go to the mall to collect various supplies related to television programs he was watching earlier before meeting the trapped heroes and Fred. He frees Hamster and Gretel using water guns he filled with lemonade, picks up multiple skating tricks, and has Hamster and Gretel use deodorant on Itsy Bitsy, rendering her spiderweb powers unusable. As Itsy Bitsy is taken to jail, Gretel thanks Kevin for rescuing them, after which the latter plans to accept Hiromi's invitation to a party, having overcome his embarrassment.
