"U.F. Whoa!" is the eleventh episode of the Disney Channel animated series, Hailey's On It!
Synopsis[]
After a mishap with Hailey’s list, secret government agents nab Beta thinking he’s a U.F.O.
Plot[]
While sitting outside of U.F. Dough, Hailey is deciding on putting a label on her notebook (depicting an image of a birdhouse with a BH on it), but Beta informs her that she is not allowed to go public with it as it could damage the time space continuum, reminding her about when she tried to remove an item on her list. Kristine arrives and informs her and Scott that she will be on Hat House, a reality show that is hat-themed. She takes notice of Hailey's notebook and, rather inconsiderately, begins thumbing through it. Before she could read the "Kiss Scott Denoga" item, she is only able to read the S, forcing Hailey to claim that it is a boy named Sanjay Singh that she has a crush on.
After Kristine leaves, Scott eagerly asks to see the list item. Hailey tries to stop him only to accidentally spills slushie on her notebook, resulting in a chaos bot suddenly appearing in the sky in search of the book. Locals begin to believe that the chaos bot was a U.F.O. which draws alien enthusiasts called the Paranormies. Hailey expresses concern to Scott that if anyone else discovers the chaos bot, it would lead to the exposure of her own secret. Their conversation is overheard by Lazlo, an unusual alien believer who claimed that he was abducted following a visit to the dentist. He plans to rescue his alien friend from N.O.P.E. (National Organization of Paranormal Extraterrestrials) at Area 37. Returning to Hailey's house, she proposes using her list as bait, which Beta deems to risky to the fate of the world, especially his own existence. They are then interrupted by the arrival Kristine, who shows off her trainer Logan to Scott, who appears oblivious to her actions and is okay with the two of them hanging out.
Hailey, Scott, and Beta go into the woods to search for the chaos bot but fail after hours of searching. Scott recalls that the chaos bots also try to stop her from completing her list items, and proposes that Hailey choose an easy one to lure the chaos bot into a trap. Hailey selects list item #304: Learn to juggle. Unfortunately, Scott and Beta proves far better at it than her and she quickly gives up. Scott then suggests she get her kiss with "Sanjay" over with, to which Beta agrees sarcastically. Hailey then nearly confesses her feelings to Scott, only to hesitate and resorts to using her notebook as bait to lure the chaos bot. Unfortunately, the chaos bot fails to walk into the pitfall trap she set by simply flying off with the notebook, but luckily, Beta destroys it. As Hailey gets the book back, N.O.P.E. arrives and picks up the remaining pieces of the chaos bot and Beta. Hailey and Scott return home where they are visited by the Professor who, rather than help get Beta back, presents Hailey with a new and improved A.I. named Omega. As far as the Professor is concerned, Beta is compromised and thus his memory will be automatically wiped once his battery runs out. Once the Professor is sucked back to the future, Omega, who, being much more pleasant to work with, agrees to help Hailey and Scott rescue Beta from Area 37.
With Lazlo's help, the two take down the U.F.Dough sign over the restaurant and use it to sneak into Area 37. Disguising themselves as scientists, Hailey and Scott search the premises before finding the chaos bot remains. However, they find that its battery has the sign that Hailey had designed earlier, making her wonder if she is evil. At that moment, a pair of scientists walk in with Beta and ask who they are. Hailey and Scott pass themselves off as Regina and George, and fortunately the scientists are aware of colleagues by those names and assumed they got the Youth Ray to work. But before Hailey and Scott could take Beta, the real Regina and George appear, forcing them to grab Beta and run. The base soon goes on alert. Hailey and Scott make their getaway on courtesy bikes while the agents give chase on courtesy carts. They make it outside but the gate closes on them. Fortunately, Omega grants their bikes the power of levitation. They escape, just as Lazlo manages to launch on himself on a human catapult and enters Area 37 through a vent and finds his alien friend.
At home, with Beta's battery nearly depleted, Hailey desperately puts him on his charging station but it doesn't work. Omega then tells her she has the power to revive Beta. She assumes he's talking about the power of friendship before he refers to the power source she got from the chaos bot, bringing him back to life.
As Scott gets a call from Kristine and leaves to speak privately, The Professor appears to tell Hailey that she can only have one A.I. with Hailey choosing Beta, her reasoning being that while he's a grump, he's her grump. Before the Professor could take her leave, Hailey demands answers about the chaos bot's power source and whether she's evil in the future. While still avoiding major spoilers about the future, the Professor explains the power source is Haileytonium, which she discovers after the completion of her list. With Haileytonium, she was able to stave off climate change and power the whole world, including the chaos bots. The Professor then attempts to give Hailey tomorrow's winning jackpot number only to be sucked back to the future once again. Beta suddenly tells Hailey that the "Kiss Scott Denoga" item now has a higher percentage of being completed. Scott comes back and tells Hailey that not only has Kristine got on the show, but she also broke up with him, giving Hailey mixed emotions.

Trivia[]
- This is the second episode in the series to be a full episode instead of in segments, following "The Beginning of the Friend".
- Area 37 is a parody of the famous Area 51.
- Kristine officially breaks up with Scott.
- Both Amanda Leighton and Jack McBrayer who voice Kristine Sanchez and Lazlo in this episode previously were the voices of Polly Plantar and Toadie in Amphibia making this the second Disney Animated Series that they were both voice actors in.
- Beta says something that doesn't make sense; her notebook can't be shown in public but it is the important document that saves the world, so why can't the world know about something that will save the future?
- Plausibility: If the world found out, it would cause panic and completely disrupt the timeline, plus Hailey would be taken in for questioning, also if it would happen it would possibly cause an enormous time glitch resulting in the future being altered for the worse permanently.
- It is revealed that the chaos bots are driven by an energy source Hailey made. It begins to question if Future Hailey is the one trying to prevent her past self from completing it, but the Professor says it is Haileytonium, which Hailey invented to make energy for everything, but is unfortunately used for chaos bots.
- So therefore, it is still unknown who is sending the chaos bots to kill Hailey, since chaos bots can’t make themselves.
- Hailey and Scott's scientist's names are Regina George as a reference to the MEa n Girls character.
