Let's Dance, Sandy! is the thirteenth episode of the series.
Plot
Hamtaro and the Ham-Hams are rehearsing for their performances in Elder-Ham's annual Sunflower Seed Harvest Festival. Boss is studying for the lead role in a play and the Ham-Ham girls are practicing their gymnastics routine. Sandy, the agile athlete of the group, has a big crush on Maxwell, because he reminds her so much of her twin brother, who she hasn't seen since she was young. Sandy asks Hamtaro to see if Maxwell feels the same about her, and the other girls pester Hamtaro about it too.
When the day of the performance arrives, the girls impress both Elder-Ham and Maxwell; Hamtaro sees this as a chance to ask Maxwell about Sandy, but he can't find the words. Soon he's distracted when baby Penelope almost falls off the stage, but she's rescued by Sandy. Elder-Ham is so impressed with Sandy's heroism that he awards her and the girls the Grand Prize, a pyramid of sunflowers! Elder-Ham notices how much Sandy looks like a boy hamster he once knew. Could it be that Sandy's brother is closer than she thought? The Ham-Hams vow to find out.
