Plot[]

With the Freedom Movement at an all-time high, everyone is having freedom from their jobs. Decoe and Bocoe are now working for the Thorndykes, and Lindsey and Nelson visit Chris and they decided to spend time with Chris if the freedom never ends. Eggman is totally upset for Decoe and Bocoe's betrayal. During a barbecue, Chuck gets a phone call from the President and gets permission to do Project Homebound. That night, Sam Speed is chasing a crook down the highway and thinks that freedom can break the speed limit and thought about Sonic, thinking that they would become buddies. The man's car falls down the highway and gets destroyed and Sonic saves the man and races with Sam once more. Meanwhile, Chris was doing homework about his dream of the future: to be with Sonic forever( in the English version, his dream is to help Sonic make the planets a better place), until he hears a splash from his swimming pool. He then went outside to have a look and see if it is Sonic, but it turned out it was a small kitten.

Later, Christina Cooper and Dr. Kim Bickley show up explaining that it is discovered that Sonic's planet and ours were once one and at some point in the past, the planets it split into two different planets and dimensions, with their own timeline. The two planets are rejoining (because of the mass arrival of the population of Sonic's world, something Eggman had already hinted in the 39 that could have happened : the clutch)and the timelines will cancel each other out, causing time to stop and the only way to stop this is to send back all the populations from Sonic's world, so also the islands, villages and towns and unfortunately Sonic and the rest as well, with Chuck that explain to Tails that the government know that isn't at cause of their presence if the time suspension phenomenon it was about to occur, but they want send back also them because their influence is become too strong and then they want return the Earth to a time before their influence was so successful . Chris believes this is one of Dr. Eggman's tricks, so he runs away and asks Decoe and Bocoe to take him to Eggman, but they do not know where Eggman is. Bokkun arrives and takes them to Eggman. Chris confronts Eggman accusing him that it is all his plan to get rid of Sonic for good and the fact that they all stay together happily with the doctor who at first plays along but then scolds him stating that this time it is not his fault and that he should stop behaving in a way that is not like him: childish and selfish pointing the finger at everyone when things do not go his way, the same attitude that the government has towards Sonic who has accused him three times and so Chris back home. Tails tells Chuck they have find to two missing Chaos Emeralds and decides to build the portal. The episode ends with Sonic hearing telepathically Chris's voice and finding one of the Chaos Emeralds.
