However, Perky and Vera both have new productions to plug and realise this is the perfect opportunity to raise some money for themselves. 

With both trying to outdo each other through shameless self-promotion, Perky's action figure and Vera's self-help book become the main focus of the Telethon. However, when Pinky reminds everyone what they are really there to do, they are moved to tears and donations come pouring in. Even Perky and Vera get caught up in the moment and give all their profits to the poor hedgehogs - regretting it later of course.
