Part I:
Tails finds Sonic taking care of Rotor's greenhouse plants. Sonic asks Tails to take over, and Tails thinks Sonic has asked him to take over leading the freedom fighters. Sonic says that Tails is not ready to be a leader and tells him to finish watering the plants. Tails begins to water the plants, and finds a piece of fruit. Rotor is shocked when Sonic tells him that Tails is watering all of the plants. They walk into the greenhouse and find the plants extremely tall. Tails explains that he used an equation to make the plants flourish. He also says that he developed the equation as he was eating a piece of fruit. Rotor says that the fruit is from the Mobian Tree of Wisdom. Whoever eats the fruit makes the person extremely intelligent, so Tails is now a genius. Antoine rushes to the greenhouse and says that Sally and Bunnie are trapped by a robot. They all rush to the scene, and Tails uses his intelligence to destroy the robot. After the robot collapses, Tails announces that he is now the leader of the freedom fighters.

Part II:
A robot has been found in Knothole. Sonic uses a sonic spin, but he instantly bounces backwards. Tails says that Sonic cannot damage his Vacubot, a robot he programmed to clean. With the leftover metal, Tails also made himself a medal. Sally tries to tell Tails that there is more to being a leader than being smart. Tails decides to prove himself by "subduing our prime nemesis."

In Robotropolis, Snively discovers that Tails made his way past security. Tails walks into the room, and as he tells Robotnik to surrender, the effects of the fruit wear off. He is quickly captured. Back at Knothole, Rotor discovers that the fruit only lasts for twenty-four hours. By using a dictionary, Sonic realizes what Tails meant by "subduing our prime nemesis," and runs to Robotropolis. He explains to Robotnik that Tails was sent to destroy the city by using a medal. Snively analyzes the medal, but he cannot tell what it is made out of. Sonic says if Robotnik doesn't release Tails, he will throw the medal, and the explosives will take care of the rest. After Sonic counts down, Robotnik gives in and runs away.

Back at Knothole, Antoine lectures Tails about being a leader. Tails sees the medal and throws it on the floor. Antoine jumps as Sonic and Sally laugh.

Sonic explains that the writers are on vacation, and gives three pages of a comic that have no sentences in the word balloons. He asks readers to supply the sentences and sound effects and send it to Archie Comics. Two winners will receive subscriptions to the comic book. The deadline is August 15, 1994.

"'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!'"
Script: Mike Kanterovich/Ken Penders
Pencilling: Art Mawhinney
Inking: Harvey Mercadoocasio

Robotnik is playing with defective action figures of the freedom fighters. He then comes up with a plan: separate the freedom fighters. Later, Bunnie and Sally discover search lights and follow them to a mall. After entering the mall, they fall down a trap hole. Bunnie and Sally are captured by swatbots, and Robotnik appears. He says that the two will wait around to be rescued. Sally says that they are capable of taking care of themselves. Bunnie and Sally then proceed to destroy all of the swatbots. They then tie Robotnik, Snively, and Crabmeat together and leave them with corrected versions of the dolls Robotnik was playing with earlier. When they return to Knothole, they find Sonic cutting coupons out of the newspaper and laugh as they walk away.

Sonic-Grams highlights:
~ The real writer of the story "The Bold-Headed Eagle" in Sonic the Hedgehog #12 is really Angelo DeCesare
~ Sally is a squirrel
~ Uncle Chuck was roboticized because he broke one of Robotnik's rules and smiled
~ One reader gets a second chance to become a freedom fighter (by coloring in a panel of issue #2)
~ PVC (plastic/rubber) figures are "in the works"
~ In order to play Sega games when your sibling hogs it, make some chili dogs. When she heads for the chili dogs, you can start playing games.
