The fiftieth episode of the first season of Sonic Boom.
When a thunderstorm breaks out, Team Sonic takes shelter in Amy's house. There, they discover Amy's idea for a play, with each character being based on them.
This episode provides examples of:
- Cabin Fever: Both the title and premise of this episode. Team Sonic is trapped in Amy's house together during a thunderstorm.
- Fear of Thunder: In this episode, Tails displays a comical fear of lightning storms, often jumping into Sonic's arms and shaking when one occurs.
- Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": Amy's play is very much just a self-glorifying fanfic written by herself to herself.
- Here We Go Again!: This episode ends with another thunderstorm breaking out after Amy's play ends. Everyone goes to Amy's house to ride out the storm, much to Amy's chagrin.
- I Resemble That Remark!:
- While reading Amy's play, Knuckles complains that his character doesn't get easily distracted by shiny objects. When he goes to read it, he gets distracted by the gilded edges of the novel.
- While reading Amy's play, Tails complains that his character is described as cowering behind Sonic. Immediately, a lightning flash sends him cowering behind Sonic.Tails: Curse you, Irony!
- Mythology Gag: This episode reveals that Tails is still afraid of lightning.
- Shout-Out: This episode has one to The Glass Menagerie, of all things. Knuckles accidentally knocks down Amy's glass unicorn and the horn breaks off. Amy notes that "A glass horse is just as good as a glass unicorn, I suppose", similar to how the protagonist of the play brushes off her own glass unicorn getting it's horn broken.
- Tempting Fate: This exchange:Sticks: It's coming down pretty hard out there. It can't get any worse.
Amy: It's time for arts and crafts!
Sticks: I spoke too soon. - Write Who You Know: In-Universe; Amy based the characters in her play, A Rose Without Thorns on her friends. Annie Rose on herself, Sonar on Sonic, Taylor on Tails, Shoulders on Knuckles, and Twigs on Sticks.
