Gemerl departs to find Cream. -Glow arrives at the chili dog stand, sending Chuck scrambling back behind the counter to serve her. Bunnie follows soon after. -Bean arrives, speaking in a horrible French accent, and asks Bunnie where they are. Bunnie informs him he's in "the warzone" that is Station Square. -Chuck offers Bean a map, but can't seem to find one. Glow gives him directions to the Station Square Visitors' Center, but Chuck ends up finding the map at the last minute -- after weaving another tale of crap. -Suddenly a TV falls from the sky and beans Bean on the head. Elbot descends and sheepishly retreives the TV. Bean is able to speak normally when he awakens. -Everyone checks to see if Bean is okay, but rather than answer them, Bean hurls a bomb at Elbot. Elbot catches it in his mouth, then spits it back out at the chili dog stand. -Without missing a beat, Chuck retreives a baseball bat from below the counter and home runs it back outside. -The bomb smashes into Vector as he passes by, but doesn't seem to harm him. Vector makes his way to the stand and inquires about if anyone's seen Charmy. -Bunnie, having ducked behind Chuck's counter, chastizes Bean for being so reckless. Bean responds with another barrage of bombs. -Chuck knocks Vector and Bunnie out of the path of a bomb, but suffers damage within the restaurant, specifically to the pot of chili. -Chuck becomes visibly aggravated and disappears for what looks like a fire extinguisher, climbing into the counter and announcing that everyone had better clear out. -Upon hearing the warning, Bunnie makes a hastey retreat, knowing too well what kinds of tricks Chuck keeps up his sleeve. -Glow loses her temper and attacks Bean with a two-pronged taser. -Vector becomes very rattled by the situation and gets out of dodge, but not before throwing a rock at Bean. -Bean dodges both attacks and flees down the street, continuing to shriek with duckrage. -Chuck removes his mask with satisfaction that they patrons actually obeyed for once, offers Glow a free meal her next visit, and closes the chili dog stand for cleaning and repairs.

Another Day, Another Dollar - Station Square-Espio and Charmy head to Station Square on the train. Espio sleeps on the trip, and awakens to find Charmy missing. -Charmy is in the control car messing with all the buttons and switches, and sends the train rocketing forward toward the station. -Espio finds and chastizes him, then crawls onto the nose of the train and stops it with his giant shuriken. Espio faints. -Charmy takes Espio away from the wreckage, calls Vector for advice, and then drops him into the ocean to wake him. -Espio wakes in enormous pain, but ignores it to try and eat Charmy in his rage. -Harper waits anxiously for the Chaotix to arrive, watching news reports of the accident. -Charmy evades Espio's tongue, but not a kunai that pins him to a tree. Espio stops to rest while Charmy squirms loose. -Harper plays cards with his workers to pass the time. Charmy calls Vector for help, but is told to go make up with Espio. -Espio busies himself removing numerous splinters from his hide. Charmy tries to help him by ripping one out and then washing it with seawater. Espio again tries to eat him. -The Chaotix eventually arrive at Harper's; Harper is unimpressed with their shabby appearances, but lets them in. -Espio insists on getting straight to work over sitting through formalities; Charmy, suffering a bit of head trauma, loses track of what's going on and makes a fool of himself. -Harper non-verbally gives Espio a warning, and Espio does back off slightly. Harper agrees to put him straight to work. -Espio gives Charmy a harsh order to stay put and behave, then follows after Harper. -Harper leads Espio into a cramped service corridor to get to his office as quickly as possible. Espio reluctantly follows and does his best to suppress his claustrophobia. -Espio eventually panics when the hallway's size decreases dramatically. Harper realizes the problem and quickly leads him out of the service passage. -Espio takes a moment to settle down, then follows Harper the rest of the way to the office. -Harper points Espio at the computer and lingers near the window. Espio clicks around for a while, then eventually produces the desired contact information. -Harper clicks off a stopwatch that he'd been secretly using to time Espio.

Harper calls his physician to check on him. -Espio reluctantly allows the butler and maid to nanny him, but very stubbornly fights against the doctor. -The doctor finishes his exam, reports to Harper, and exits.

Charmy meanwhile flies away out the open window. -Vector reflects on the new mission while Espio tries to remove his IV line; Vector quickly grabs his arm to stop him. -Dr. Wily returns to find Espio and Vector struggling, and quickly resumes Espio's sedative dosage until he falls asleep. -Wily informs Vector that Charmy may be checked out, but that Espio will need to stay a while longer. Vector thanks her and takes off to find Charmy.

Tails hesitates, but eventually follows as well. -The three arrive in the repair bay. Talon orders to Heat to get on the table and shut down.

Talon informs him it's in his hanger and calls Tally to escourt him there. -Talon softens on Tails a bit and reminds him that he's welcome to return anytime he wishes, and that he's willing to help him step out of Sonic's shadow and reach his full potential. -Tails mulls over the information uncertainly, then follows Tally to the Cyclone. -Talon wishes him farewell, then praises himself for finding such a suitable apprentice and finishes Heat's repairs.

Scorra notes Rouge's tension and eventually asks what's the matter. -After some beating around the bush, Rouge confesses the news about the diamond being stolen and apologizes for her carelessness. -Scorra tells Rouge that she's missing the point of his gesture, and that he's more concerned about her well-being and their friendship than the diamond itself; he says he's disappointed that the diamond was stolen, but not disappointed with her for it happening. -Rouge is a little confused and surprised, but mostly relieved. -Scorra asks about how Rouge hurt her head when he healed her the first time; Rouge explains her G.U.N. mission. -Rouge then asks what happened to the Sol Emeralds they had in Aquatic Ruin; Scorra explains that he gave them to Black Doom. -Realizing the danger this could mean, Rouge decides to leave for home that night rather than the next morning, despite Scorra's recommendation of more rest. -Rouge and Scorra say their goodbyes, and Rouge heads back to the city.
