Sally, Rotor, Hamlin, Hershey, Erik and Lupe are seen skydiving to the ground. Erik gets caught in a tree, leaving Sally to cut him down from it. The whole team regroups and they are invited by a small family in a cottage to come and dine with them. Afterwards, the team return to Mobotropolis where Rosie offers Sally some hot cocoa before bed. Geoffrey St. John and Maximillian Acorn are seen overlooking this conversation and the king asks for Geoffrey to send a royal escort to bring Sally to him, as she had been avoiding him.

The editorial comment says that Al and Cal made one other brief appearance (and invites readers to write to Sonic Grams to identify it), but actually they made two: a one-page, fourth wall–breaking appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog #4, "Horizont-Al & Verti-Cal", and a cameo appearance inside a virtual reality machine in Sonic the Hedgehog #16, "Sonic Under Glass, Part II".
