## Plot

The episode starts proper when the makeshift Team Rose is about ready to leave the Egg Carrier with Lily and Brian while Gamma is ready to carry out his self-appointed mission. Amy is worried about Gamma getting destroyed, but, he insists he must go out and liberate his brothers and free the Mobinis, including destroying himself in the end. Somewhat reluctantly, Amy allows him to go ahead and Gamma flies away. Manic manages to cool Amy down and the green hedgehog suggests they get Brian and Lily to safety, remembering they tied the boat to the Egg Carrier.

While flying in the sky, Gamma's Flicky, now being revealed to be called Daisy and has a translator so she can be understood, calls out she's spotted an E-100-Series robot from above. The two head for Colorado and see E-106 Eta using his jackhammers on a mountain, which is going to cause a rock slide for human settlement down below. Gamma flies over and tries to convince Eta to stop, but, he doesn't want to stop as the humans are "crude and vulgar". Gamma tries to convince Eta that he has a different purpose now, but, Eta just deems him a traitor and coward, sending the Phi Troopers on him. They try to charge Gamma and he destroys some of them, but, Daisy realizes there's too many and she tells Gamma to retreat. Eta tells the Troopers to stand down and he resumes his conquest.

A safe distance away, Gamma and Daisy start rethinking their plan and Gamma figures that the Phi Troopers rely on numbers too much. If he uses hand-to-hand combat, he could potentially stop them. Daisy then suggests using her Chaos Energy to make Gamma have two hands as opposed to just the one and she manages to do so, but, is very tired once she's done. Gamma offers for her to rest while he does some training and a grateful Daisy does so. When the two were ready, they headed out to face Eta and the Troopers.

Eta is surprised that Gamma has changed his appearance and he takes on the Troopers again, warning Daisy things may get rough. He manages to take them out rather easily, much to Eta's shock, and Gamma explains the same weaknesses he described to Daisy. Now it was just Gamma and Eta and the two battled on. Gamma uses his Laser Blaster to shoot Eta in his back and deletes Eggman from his database and shuts him down. A Mobini Ricky gratefully hops out of Eta and hops away, with Gamma and Daisy smiling as they have 16 more rescues to go.

The Ricky suddenly ends up at the Thorndyke Mansion, where she's found by Chuck and Sir Charles, much to their surprise. Luckily, Amy is nearby and she translates that the Ricky came all the way from Colorado. Chuck is surprised at the distance, but, Sir Charles explains that Mobinis are able to sense warp zones and traverse them. The Ricky explains that she was powering Eta and Amy hugs the Ricky, telling her that no harm will be brought to her here. Chuck comments the Ricky looks like Sally, to which Sir Charles explains that Sally's species had evolved from them as the episode ends.

## Trivia

* This episode takes place at the same time as Episode 31 from the main series.
* A fourth wall break happens as a prologue to the series, explaining why it's been delayed as well as giving Daisy a translator so the audience can understand her.
