Plot[]
When Jackson spots a wasp, in order to kill it, he accidentally rips Miley's teddy bear/ puppet (Beary has a large hole in his butt at the beginning of the episode which could mean he's a hand puppet) , "Beary", apart. Lilly thinks that it's stupid that Miley still has a teddy bear but tags along anyway. In order to make things fair she enters Jackson's room and tries to find something to destroy of his. So she takes his "Joey Vitolo" signed baseball and tried to destroy it by shredding it on a cheese grater, but then accidently throwing it in the the garbage disposal only to been able to save the skin. She delights until Jackson cames back with Beary Bear and fixes it because he felt guilty about the Beary Bear incident. Now Miley's the guilty one and she tries to fix the Vitolo ball. Lilly says if you close one eye and then close the other, the ball looks fine. Oliver tells Miley that since Joey got injured after his 5th homerun, he refuses to give any autographs.
Miley's not convinced so she goes to Joey's (Joey Fatone) restaurant and tries to get Joey Vitolo to sign a new ball. He says no but luckily his daughter is a Hannah fan so she goes back as Hannah and tries to get him to sign it. Instead, he makes her sing in a show with her and makes her dance with him.
Meanwhile, Jackson finds out about the ball is gone and walks over to the case and says Miley will be avenged. Then he forces Lilly and Oliver to tell him. Lilly refuses so Jackson pushes Oliver into his closet and Oliver confesses and passes out. Jackson goes to the restaurant and saw Hannah dancing with Vitolo. He feels sorry for her and takes her off the stage. He says that he thinks Miley suffered enough for the ball. Hannah is happy and pushes Vitolo into a cream pie. And rolls him on a cart away from them.
In the end, Jackson, Miley as Hannah, and Robbie eat at Vitolo's and she finally gets the ball signed and Robbie tells her it was nice to forgive Mr. Vitolo. Then she says she promised Vitolo a dance one last time. And then she rips off her normal clothes to reveal the clothes that Joey Vitolo wears. Then while Jackson finds out that Robby Ray signed the ball the first time in order to make him happy. But this time he has the real signature. Robby then says he'll give himself a 10 if he dances like Miley and Joey are doing.
