Episode 617 - A Rose by Any Other Name
Taped: 9/3/21
Plot:
Lightning shows Amy a recipe that Lucy's grandmother once cooked before blowing her off so she can cook it for Lucy's birthday. Sonic asks what she's making before showing her some tickets on his phone. He's treating her to dinner and a show to a club that re-opened. She looks at who's performing and is confused at the name JayRoRo. Flash, preferring classical music, has no idea who she is. Amber, meanwhile, loves her and plays one of her hit singles. Sonic and Amy don't understand how her heavily autotuned voice can be so popular. Sonic and Amy go to the club where the show is being held, The Green Banana. They take a look at the menu and each order their signature drink, the Banana Martini. Amy then gets the fettuccine alfredo while Sonic orders the closest thing to a chili dog, the chili con carne. The lights dim and JayRoRo walks on stage. Amy notices how trashy she's dressing while Sonic is put off by her suggestive dance moves. However, she sings much better than the looks, to the point of breaking Sonic's glass. She thanks the audience, at which point Amy notices her normal voice sounds familiar. Sonic took some pictures of her while she performed, and shows them to Amy so she can let Amber have a better look in the morning. Lightning comes back with an empty pan, saying that Lucy loved her meal even if it wasn't quite like what her grandmother used to make. Amy and Sonic visit Amber in her bedroom where they tell her about the show. They look at her website and her profile, although they don't reveal that much about her. Amy's only clue is a C-section scar from her revealing outfits. They do discover that she's playing at the Eric Prower Auditorium soon, and that there are seats available. Sonic and Amy take Amber to her next show there and they see her perform. They still don't pick up on anything until they hear her start to sing a tribute ballad. Amy starts crying during the song which is about her father dying young, leaving her mother to raise her and her sister. It's at that point that Sonic and Amy realize who JayRoRo is: Jenny. All the clues about her add up, and they both proceed to tell Amber who feels proud to have a pop star for an aunt. Jenny has the spotlights shine on Sonic, Amy, and Amber in the audience and points them out to the crowd. She then sings "My Sweet Passion" which Amy hates, but Sonic and Amber grow to like it. They meet Jenny after the show and thank her for putting on a great performance. She says she's found time to pursue her dream now that Jessie's a little older. Amy also thanks her for the touching song about Whitey which she says was based on a poem Jenny wrote just after he died. Jenny plans on keeping her day job, singing for a while until the fame dies down. She lets Amber have the wig she wore on stage, saying she has several more in her dressing room. A few days pass and Amy is soon harvesting vegetables from her vegetable garden. Sonic and Lightning remark on what a successful singing career Jenny has been having. Amber is inspired to try out for the dance team at school while Flash isn't sure what he wants to do when he grows up. Amy then wheels a bunch of vegetables over, saying she feels like opening a roadside stand. Sonic says why not, and the episode ends.
Fun Facts:
Jenny's dream to be a singer first mentioned in Episode 455 - The Birds and the Cats is explored. It's revealed that Amy hates her 'Adventure' era theme song "My Sweet Passion."
