"I hope she doesn't get mad at me!"
or
"I hope she doesn't gets mad at me!"
 
Only the first is correct.
 
"I hope she doesn't get mad at me!"
or
"I hope she doesn't gets mad at me!"

It is incorrect to follow the auxiliary verb "do" (and its other forms) with an inflected verb form (such as "gets"). One must use the bare infinitive form (get).
 
Please give your threads meaningful titles. I was about to delete this as a duplicate.
