"The Don't-Gooder" is the second segment of the twelfth episode of the first season of The Ghost and Molly McGee and the twenty-fourth episode overall.
Synopsis
When Andrea steals credit for Molly’s volunteer work, the latter tries to expose her.
Plot
Molly resumes her favorite past time of doing good for the environment. However, despite her massive help, she is constantly overlooked by everyone in favor of Andrea who keeps getting all the admiration of others despite working not as hard. Molly attempts to hide her anger and jealousy, despite Scratch pointing out the obvious, which quickly boils over when Andrea is interviewed for her charity while Molly is attacked by a vicious racoon on live television. Principal O'Connor puts up a competition to sell nougat bars to raise money so that the school can buy a new sign with the winner getting an award for the most bars sold. Molly signs it after Andrea signs her name in a bigger font.
With Scratch's indirect help, Molly frantically sells nougat bars while it appears that Andrea is not selling any whatsoever, not even noticing Scratch trying to sabotage her by stealing her bars. Despite all this, Andrea still wins the award for most nougat bars sold. Scratch believes that Andrea is somehow cheating and urges Molly to sneak over to her house to see. As they break into the garage, they discover that Andrea bought all the nougat bars herself. Molly wants to expose her, but Scratch points out that Andrea technically sold the bars as promised, raised enough money for a new marquee and therefore did good. However, Molly has grown angry with jealousy and wants to deliver "justice" by revealing that Andrea is a "credit stealer"; scaring Scratch.
With Darryl's help, Molly plans to show the photos of Andrea's nougat bars as soon as she is announced by the teachers at school. Molly goes down to check on Andrea, only to realize that Andrea did all this to get the favor of her parents who seem disinterested in her accomplishment. Worried, Molly finally realizes that she has looked at the situation the wrong way, seeing who the real Don't-Gooder is. Molly apologizes to Scratch for not listening to him and sends him up to stop Darryl from releasing the incriminating photos, but they are too late. Molly manages to successfully cover for Andrea as her parents finally show approval for her actions. Molly runs home and hugs her parents out of gratitude while Scratch clears out Andrea's nougat stash, but gets a tummy ache.

Trivia
- This episode was originally scheduled for November 6, 2021, but it was shifted to premiere later in 2022 and was replaced with the episodes "The Turnip Twist" and "All Systems No".[6]
- The reason for the switch was probably because Molly expresses her hatred of close-up magic in "Scratch the Surface", whereas she properly introduces such in "All Systems No".
- This episode was leaked and released early through Disney+ Hotstar Southeast Asia.[7]
- This episode was originally supposed to be the debut of Andrea's parents.
