The situation gets a little funky when Jaleesa sings the Hillman College rendition of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” with “two butts-a-bumping to my MC Hammer CD” during Coach Oakes’ segment as the Ghost of Christmas Present and Whitley’s thinking she’s learned a valuable lesson by this point but the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come insists on showing her how ratchet her future will become anyway.
