Alyssa's Epiphany is the thirty-eighth episode of My Friend Macey.
Episode Summary[]
Taylor is seen talking to Silver the Hedgehog about Emma's weird behavior lately. She tells Silver about how she wants to travel to space to find a Grand Star, how she made a machine to research everybody in town, and how she rushed her out of her house so quickly. Silver thinks that's a bit odd, considering how good of friends the two of them are. Taylor wonders if there's any way he can predict what's about to happen. Silver says he can try. Taylor thinks this is great. Silver says he'll get back to her as soon as he can. Taylor thanks Silver and heads out to do some shopping.
As Taylor arrives at the mall, something bad is happening. She wonders why the mall looks so destroyed. Turns out that Macey and friends are busy fighting off a devious monster, spawned from none other than Armageddon. They're having a tough time with this one. Macey, Laila, and Ashley try getting it from the left. Alyssa, Brea, and Kaylee try from the right. However, nothing is working. Macey wonders why they're having such a tough time defeating this thing. Armageddon says it was trained to learn their every move. Macey attempts to use her fire power to destroy the monster, but the monster learns it. Macey thinks that was useless. Brea wonders where Paul Blart is when you need him. Kaylee looks at her in confusion. Brea says not to judge her because she thoroughly enjoyed that movie. Alyssa decides to take a crack at the monster herself. She gives it her all, but is defeated. Armageddon laughs at the defeated heroes and says their work here is done. Armageddon and his monster leave the mall.
Macey and her friends get up and see all of the damage. Macey thinks this is horrible. Ashley agrees and says that she can't believe that they lost. Alyssa is taking this especially hard. Macey tells Alyssa that they'll get Armageddon next time. Alyssa says that they were supposed to win. Laila admits that they're not gonna win every single battle they fight. Alyssa says that's her point, because she's already lost so many times. She brings up her mind-controlling and Alyssa Bot as instances. Macey reminds Alyssa that their setbacks can always lead to comebacks. She reminds Alyssa of that song they sang when Sage took over. It just seems that Alyssa forgot everything about that moment, as she runs off, upset as ever. Brea hopes that Alyssa is okay. Macey thinks maybe she just needs a period of rejuvenation or something. She then suggests cleaning up this mess, going home, and thinking things over.
Back at Alyssa's house, Alyssa is not taking her loss so easy. She begins tearing up some photos of her past accomplishments and says that she's the worst hero ever and doesn't deserve to be on par with Macey, Olivia, or Sonic for that matter. She begins having a huge breakdown. Alyssa's dad enters the room and asks Alyssa what's wrong. Alyssa tells her dad to go away. Her dad leaves the room, concerned about her daughter. The next day at work, Alyssa is as quiet as ever. Lily is curious about Alyssa. She wants to talk to her but fears that she'll snap or something if she does. Kevin suggests leaving Alyssa alone. Lily feels bad for her. Kevin does too and hopes she'll snap out of whatever funk she's in soon.
Elsewhere, Dr. Eggman and Dr. Octopus have joined forces once again and have something big planned. With their combined genius, they've created: Octo-Bot. Eggman says that this machine will be guaranteed to put a stop to that pesky Macey. Dr. Octopus says he needs this revenge for her causing the failure of his last big scheme. Eggman and Octopus laugh as Octo-Bot sets off into town in search of Macey and her friends. Unfortunately for Macey and friends, they all just happen to be at the park together. They're all talking about ways to help Alyssa. Laila suggests a party. Macey thinks that won't help at all. Kaylee suggests taking her to Disney World. Macey thinks that the most magical place on earth won't be so magical with the mood Alyssa is in. Ashley thinks maybe a nice dinner. Macey thinks that won't be enough. All of a sudden, Octo-Bot emerges from a bush. Octo-Bot captures Macey and her friends. Macey sees that Octo-Bot has already captured Grace, Georgia, Olivia, and Kaitlin. Macey thinks this isn't good.
Back at Alyssa's house, Alyssa is watching the news and sees Jenny reporting on Octo-Bot. She notices all of her friends trapped inside. Alyssa is surprised when she sees she's getting a call from Karley. Karley tells Alyssa that she's the last hope in saving Macey and her friends. Alyssa wonders about Sonic. Karley says Sonic is back in Mobius with Tails stopping Eggman Nega. Alyssa realizes that she is, in fact, the last hope. Alyssa suddenly realizes that this could be her moment to redeem herself, and that maybe she's not so bad a hero after all. Alyssa begins singing a song to motivate herself to go and save her friends. During her song, she musters up the strength to go save the day.
While giver herself musical confidence, Alyssa manages to save her friends and stop Octo-Bot. Dr. Eggman and Dr. Octopus are both mad about this and say they'll both have their revenge. Macey and friends are all proud of Alyssa. Macey wonders how Alyssa is feeling now. Alyssa says she feels a lot better now. She says that she can't let one loss defeat her so easily next time. Olivia says that's the spirit. Alyssa wants to go stop more evil now. Macey recalls Sonic and Tails needing some help stopping Eggman Nega. Alyssa heads for Mobius. Georgia thinks that was easy. Over in Mobius, Alyssa shows up to help Sonic and Tails. Sonic is confused but happy to see Alyssa here to help. The three fight off Eggman Nega.
