Sticks and Amy’s Excellent Staycation is episode 33 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 24 June 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
With the boys away on their Dude-itude road trip, Amy plans a girls’ weekend and Sticks plans for an Eggman attack. Amy’s compromise is a decoy: a home-made Sonic doll on a pole (kept for strictly non-creepy reasons), which Eggman mistakes for the real thing and spends the day stalking, convinced Sonic is snubbing him.
Free of guard duty, the friends struggle to agree. Mud-clump hurling is too much for Amy, tea and knitting too sedate for Sticks, but the village spa suits both: a footbath for one, a mud soak for the other. Unfortunately Belinda is in the next seat when Sonic calls to moan about his trip, and now she knows the boys are away.
Eggman finally blows up the doll, realises he’s been had and storms the village, but the girls rout his robots with spa products, finishing with shampoo in his moustache. Then Belinda arrives in Charlie’s mech suit, trapping villagers in force fields over petty grudges. A knitted strap trips the suit and a table-turned-seesaw launches her home, where Charlie, who skipped the fight to fetch her anniversary present, hands her an Ancient flight harness. Charlie and Belinda are now officially a double act.
