Overview
When the heating and cooling system breaks down at Webster High, Chyna begs Principal Skidmore to do something about it. According to Skidmore, Webster High doesn't have the funding due to someone complaining about the bathroom stalls not having any doors, so Chyna suggests that she cuts something else from the budget. Unfortunately, Skidmore decides to fire Gibson from the school staff. Chyna feels responsible for him getting fired, so she convinces Olive and Fletcher to host a "Save Gibson" web-a-thon to raise money to cover his salary. Meanwhile, Cameron must pretend to be an old man to help Lexi out of a bind when she unfairly won a beauty pageant.

Goofs

 * Chyna claims that the day before she 'dissected' her own hand, but after the opening credits when it shows Chyna, Olive and Fletcher in the hallway, Chyna doesn't have a bandage on her 'dissected' hand. It couldn't be possible for it to heal that quickly.
 * At the end of the episode, Gibson tries to jump up and freeze in the air and phones start ringing. Chyna says that they don't need to call, but they wouldn't have known that Gibson was doing that because Gibson wasn't visible on the webcam. But this isn't really a goof, because they could have been hearing Gibson.
 * But if they were able to hear Gibson, that can lead to another goof because Chyna was near the webcam when she said that they were trying to raise money to get his job back, so the people watching the webcast should have known that they were lying.
 * In reality, it would be impossible for it to rain and snow indoors.
 * When Fletcher and Olive drink the water glasses, Chyna says they drank e i e i o, but they only drank two glasses, not three.
