## Plot

The episode starts with Sonia and Mighty on a walk as they take a break from young Argyle, Sonia still in disbelief that Vector was violated. Argyle had gotten into Mighty's Power Sneakers, much to his dismay, but, Sonia assures him that her Uncle Charles can make him some new ones. Sonia also asks about how Mighty met Honey and Mighty thinks back to over a year before the Chaos Control incident.

Mighty and Ray are practicing their Team Blast, Balance Spiral, on some set up targets, proud that they didn't need a third member to pull it off due to both of them filling the roles of Speed-Type on top of their Fly and Power-Types. Honey had seen the duo in action, complimenting them and surprising both of them. Ray asks if she has speech problems, but, Honey assures him she doesn't, she likes using cat puns. She also mentions making a clothing line, which makes Mighty surprised that Honey does that as she looks young, but, they live in a world where 8-year-olds can get plane licenses. Honey is also a bit surprised at Mighty speaking like he's from another country than what he was born in, but, brushes it off and asks him for help with her car. Mighty agrees to help.

The hover car turns out to be a regular class hover car that Honey had touched up to make it look really good. She also reveals to Mighty that she's a Speed-Type, so she can get to Westopolis - an Overlander city - very quickly. Caution is to be taken, of course, but, Honey assures Mighty and Ray that since Eggman started another war, many Overlanders have been changing their tune to Mobians. The trio found a gas station quickly and Mighty decides to get some water for the three of them. He finds an Overlander who is shivering with fear and gives Mighty the water and the gas for the car free of charge and then faints, much to his confusion.

Mighty carries the water and the Overlander man outside to the car and puts the Overlander in the back seat, then explains things to Honey and Ray. The trio see many Overlanders rushing away and one particularly fast one gets Mighty to suspect them to be a Speed-Type when Bertha Robotnik shows up. Mighty and Ray are very cautious, but, one insensitive comment from Honey results in the women getting into a fight, Honey thinking that would boost her popularity if she wins. Mighty covers his little brother's eyes from the literal cat fight and Honey surprises Mighty with some strong moves such as Cat Pounce and Cutesy Mauling and she manages to survive a fire and scratch Bertha right in the face. She also has a Purrfectly Light Omni-Tactical Armor which replicates wearing elemental shields and Nyoir Gloves which slashes Bertha to the point of knocking her out. As Mighty uncovers Ray's eyes, Honey reveals she wants to be popular because she wants to boost her business and she also wants to get some clothes for Mighty. Mighty isn't sure about it, but, Honey pulls him along anyway, leaving Ray chuckling about the fact Mighty has a crush.

In the present, Mighty reveals he and Honey went on about 12 dates before Honey revealed her actual age. Both Mobians felt shocked about it and decided to have a mutual breakup, Mighty admitting he still feels awkward about seeing her. Sonia decides to ask Honey how she looks so young when she gets a chance and is surprised Honey is such a skilled fighter. Mighty is too and wonders why she would open a clothing line and Sonia admits it's a girls thing Mighty wouldn't get. The armadillo is confused as the episode ends.
