Plot
Wes Weasely gets his limousine hijacked by Scratch and Grounder so he signals for Sonic's help. Sonic and Tails arrive to find Wes Weasley tied up. Sonic goes after Scratch and Grounder while Tails unties Wes Weasley. Insisting on showing his gratitude for Sonic, Wes Weasley tells Tails to gather all of Sonic's friends for a suprise testimonial dinner in Sonic's honor on board Wes Weasley's personal Yacht.

Later, Wes Weasely is reporting to Dr. Robotnik that the limo diversion worked and that Tails was gathering all Sonic's friends. Dr. Robotnik then gives Wes Weasely a contract that says he gets his own home shopping channel with one hundred percent of the profit.

Tails proceeds in gathering Sonic's friends. Everyone shows up to honor Sonic. Sonic comes, but is suspicious of Wes Weasely. Breezie, Robotnik Jr., Sergeant Doberman and Robot the Robot all stand up share clips of when Sonic saved them from their respective episodes. Dr. Robotnik then comes in and drops a cage on all Sonic's friends. Sonic is forced to give himself up in order to ensure his friends' safety.

Sonic is placed in a sealed jail cell which is lowered to the bottom of the ocean. After Wes Weasely escapes on a life boat, Dr. Robotnik then has Scratch and Grounder pull a cork which makes the Yacht start to sink with all Sonic's friends on board. Dr. Robotnik then hurries back to his layer where he holds a testimonial banquet in his own honor.

At Robotnik's banquet, only Scratch, Grounder and himself are in attendance. They proceed in viewing clips of diabolical plans and destruction that Dr. Robotnik had caused in past episodes.

Wes Weasely is hard at work on his shopping channel but soon finds out that he is not actually on the air and his contract was written in disappearing ink. Realizing Robotnik betrayed him, Wes Weasely goes to the bottom of the sea and frees Sonic. Sonicruns up the water and is able to free all of his friends.

Sonic and Weasely decide to crach Robotnik's banquet by projecting a clip from the episode The Robotnik Express where Robotnik's Emporium of Devastation, Destruction and Demolition gets blown up and Robotnik himself gets blasted off on the front of his own train. Robotnik is very angry and embarrassed about this clip. Wes Weasely then has a remote control train burst through the wall and run over Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder. The train crashes out of the building with the three villains pinned to the front of it. Dr. Robotnik yells "I hate that Hedgehog!". Back at a real Banquet in Sonic's honor, Wes Weasely breaks the fourth wall and says "I love that Hedgehog". All Sonic's friends then cheer and say "We love that hedgehog". Sonic takes a bow.

Sonic Says
