"Out of House and Home" is the first segment of the eighteenth episode of the Disney Channel animated series, The Ghost and Molly McGee.

Synopsis[]

The McGees struggle to make ends meet after a hospital trip leaves them nearly broke.

Plot[]

While playing cards, Sharon discovers their last unopen moving box and they decide to remove its contents. Just then, Irving the Illusionist shows up asking if he can clean their gutters (his magician acts are not selling). Pete politely declines, but does agree that the gutters need to be cleaned and decides to do it himself. Just as the McGees remove the last tchotchke from the box, Pete gets into a bind, falls off the roof and gets severely injured. After taking him to the hospital, the McGees discover that they need to pay the hospital bill of $27,714.10. Scratch agrees to help around the house while the other family members look for more ways to make money.

Molly tries to bake cupcakes to sell at school and while she manages to do so, her classmates hate the fact that she put salt instead of sugar in them (Molly cannot tell the difference between the two). Darryl decides to sell his plants, including the carnivorous types that he somehow managed to acquire, and Sharon has opted to double down on her Gig Pig jobs that result in her working very late into the night. Scratch takes care of the house duties such as cooking and cleaning which, despite his ghost powers, he finds very difficult and is even more disgusted as he has to help Pete with tasks such as scratching his cast, much to his disgust.

Scratch begins to take on a matriarchal role in the family and soon finds himself literally stretched thin from his chores. Luckily, the McGees finally manage to acquire the money necessary to pay the hospital bill and have it sent away; averting another disaster. After an ending card fake out, the McGees find that their home as been repossessed because they neglected to pay the mortgage. Having lost their "forever home", the McGees are forced to move away, despite Scratch promising that he will find a way to fix it. After hugging Molly goodbye, Scratch solemnly goes into the attic, creates a hammock with a spider web and curls up, unsure of what to do.
