History Recap / SonicSatAMS01E05SonicAndSally

After trying to detonate one of Robotnik's machines, Sally gets captured by Dr. Robotnik's [=SWATbots=]. Sonic tries to go back, but Bunnie tells him he needs a power ring if he's going to save Sally. Meanwhile, Robotnik creates a clone of Sally to use to try to destroy Knothole. Sonic gets the power ring the next day and rescues Sally, but doesn't realise that it was the clone that Robotnik created. Sonic and the cloned Sally returned to Knothole. Tails found out he didn't get the "Funny Kiss" (on the nose) that Sally usually gives him. Then the clone reads a book to Tails and asks her to do the scary witch voice but refused and walked off. Sonic then, finds out that the SWAT-bot factory was still online and decides to go back and redo the mission. While in bed, Tails sees the cloned Sally and he sees the eyes glow red and finds out that it wasn't the real Sally. Bunnie wakes Sally up and showed her the ruined carrot crops, and Tails thinks it was the "Fake" Sally who did this during the night. Before going to the factory, Tails tries to tell Sonic that it wasn't the real Sally, Sonic thought Tails had a nightmare and ran off. While at the SWAT-bot factory, Sonic does the special handshake that he and Sally do, and finds out that Tails was telling the truth, that it wasn't Sally. After subduing her, the clone shows Sonic the way to the Real Sally, who saves her before she was robotocized and run back to Knothole while putting the clone in Sally's place inside the roboticizer, overloading it and destroying the factory. Back in Knothole, Sally finds Tails sitting by the log and gives him the "funny kiss", proving to Tails that she's the real Sally (Adding more proof with the "scary witch voice"). She attempts to prove it by giving Sonic a kiss, but this makes Sonic claim that she's fake so he grabs Tails and runs off.

!!This episode provides examples of:

* BigDamnHeroes: Bunnie sends the fake Sally flying with a kick to the face before the robot can shoot a trapped Sonic.
* BigWhat: Not as loud as most, but Sonic's reaction to the thought of Sally being robotocized does sound extremely shocked and worried.
* BluffTheImposter: Sonic bluffs the fake Sally with a long and rather complicated handshake that they tend to use. However, he changes the last part from a thumbs-up to a thumbs-down. When Sally follows along and doesn't correct him, Sonic knows she's an impostor.
* CameraAbuse: Sonic throws a rock at the camera and the screen cuts to a white background with black squiggly lines on it.
* CaptureAndReplicate: Robotnik captures Sally and replaces her with a robot duplicate.
* CassandraTruth: Tails notices something isn't right with "Sally", but Sonic dismisses his warning, thinking Tails had just had a nightmare.
* DamselInDistress: Sally gets captured by Robotnik and the others don't realise it until almost too late. Almost.
* DefiantToTheEnd: When Sally gets captured by Dr. Robotnik, he demands her to tell where Knothole is located. Sally's response: "Sure I will. When you get a life."
* DeusExMachina: A random malfunction that cops out the video signal is all that prevents Robotnik from discovering Knothole's location via Robot Sally's video communication.
* DisapprovingLook: Robot Sally shoots Tails one of these after administering the funny kiss. Thankfully, he doesn't notice.
* EvilKnockoff: Robotnick kidnaps Sally and replaces her with a robot double so convincing, it fools almost everybody. Tails is the only one who realizes something's off, and Sonic only begins to catch as on as well after Tails had warned him. In the end, Sonic is able to trick Robotnik by switching Sally out with the very same robot.
* ForgotICouldFly: Rotor stops Tails from falling into the grotto with a Power Ring. Even though Tails can fly.
* ImposterForgotOneDetail: Robo Sally's lack of familiarity in dealing with Tails clues the fox in that something's wrong. Sonic catches the fake out by tricking it into doing the wrong SecretHandshake.
* ItsProbablyNothing: Used, bizarrely, between two [=SWATbots=] — who you would think would have no business having separate thoughts.
** Minimum AI necessary for guard units likely to encounter crafty intruders + Possibility of differing age/experience/previous assignments = Difference in thought/processing patterns.
* JustInTime: Sonic manages to bail Sally out of danger moments before the machine can robotocize her.
* LetsSplitUpGang: Sonic, Sally and Bunnie go in different directions to detonate a robot factory, and later on when Rotor and Bunnie take care of said factory while Sonic rescues Sally.
* MythologyGag: There's a toy plane visible on the floor of Tails' bedroom, though sadly not the Tornado.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Sally has been replaced with a robot duplicate, and the robot says a multitude of things she would never say. It's when she replaces a "thumbs up" gesture with Sonic with a "thumbs down" gesture that Sonic gets it.
* RobotMe: Robotnik creates a robotic duplicate of Sally after taking the real Sally prisoner, with the intent of using it to discover the location of Knothole after being "rescued."
* SecretHandshake: Failing to do this correctly is what blows the fake Sally's cover to Sonic.
* TinMan: The Robot Sally's follies in imitation involve it not being able to replicate Sally's emotions properly, yet it harbours an occasionally conniving and sadistic personality.
