"My Invisible Friend" is the first segment of the nineteenth episode of the Disney Channel animated series, Hamster & Gretel.
Synopsis
Gretel becomes invisible while Bailey competes in a spelling bee.
Plot
Bailey is extremely nervous about competing in an upcoming spelling bee against a boy named Xavier, who she lost to repeatedly in prior competitions. She relies on Gretel to provide emotional support, only for her to abruptly leave when Kevin notifies her about the villain Rat Burglar. The ensuing battle then leads to Gretel being covered in invisible ink, turning her invisible. Kevin races to find a remedy so Gretel can help Bailey while Hamster and Fred travel to the town of Brookville to find a cure for the ink.
At the spelling bee, Gretel learns that Rat Burglar is Xavier's mother and that she plans to turn herself invisible and help Xavier win the spelling bee. This leads to a second battle, with Gretel gaining an advantage by the Rat Burglar giving herself away by talking. Hamster and Fred intervene by using a hexavalent lamp they received in Brookville to expose Rat Burglar's presence to the audience, disqualifying Xavier. When the invisible ink wears off, Gretel attempts to apologize to Bailey, who won the spelling bee, for her failure to show up, but Bailey is upset about Gretel's supposed betrayal. Gretel is then forced to reveal her superhero identity to Bailey while saving her from being hit by scaffolding.
