Sticks can rig a village-wide meteor defence out of giant racquets, but a fancy dinner? That is terrifying. When her heroics earn her a nomination for an Awardy Award, she has to admit to Amy that she has never learned how to behave in polite company.

Amy’s lessons in being a lady go wrong from the first compliment, which Sticks answers by sniffing her. Tea is lapped, dance practice ends on the floor, and Sonic only agrees to be her escort because nobody makes him wear trousers. Yet at the gala she stays on her best behaviour, and is even polite to Eggman, who has wangled a nomination of his own through his Ballot Stuffer Bot.

When Leroy the Turtle wins, the doctor throws a tantrum with Bee Bots and force fields. Sticks hesitates, then lets the wild badger loose, saves the night and takes the trophy off Leroy, who agrees she deserves it. Amy concedes that manners aren’t everything and asks Sticks to teach her to trust her instincts. The first lesson takes place in a dumpster.
