Tunnel Rat, Torpedo & Alpine save Bombstrike from the Red Shadows with Leila’s help; Leila returns to Olliestan, inspired by Bombstrike’s heroism. Ace bombs Red Laser’s Blue Ninjas and Stalker, Zap and Storm Shadow take Red Laser prisoner. Zartan continues his pursuit of Dawn. Zartan spars against Dawn and tries to throw her off-balance by dredging up Snake Eyes’ memories inside her, but this only reminds Dawn how Zartan killed the Hard Master and she delivers a near-fatal stab wound to Zartan’s chest. Storm Shadow fears Dawn has become a remorseless killer because of Zartan’s toying with her. Sneak Peek joins a team heading into Darklonia to meet up with the resistance; the resistance leader turns out to be Sneak Peek’s old flame Katya. Cobra arrests Wade and his wife but Heather escapes. Storm Shadow recalls a time when Snake Eyes was driven to wrath. Cobra Commander holds a meeting with Destro and tries to assassinate him but fails; Destro advises Cobra Commander not to try that again. Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes & Zartan continue their pursuit of Dawn. The Joes in Darklonia attack a Revanche facility and Roadblock, Spirit and Grosz lay down cover for the others to escape. Wendy is brought back to Springfield for another Brainwave Scanner treatment. Dawn invades the same facility hoping to repair her own mind; Heather offers to help Dawn get to the Brainwave Scanner in exchange for saving her parents. Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Granny Demon and Zartan prevent Cobra forces from breaking into the Community Center where the Brainwave Scanner is found. In Darklonia, Roadblock, Spirit and Grosz outfight the pursuing Blue Ninjas. Dawn cannot force Doctor Mindbender to remove Snake Eyes’ memories so she places him into the Brainwave Scanner as punishment. Wade and his wife are freed and the intruders depart; Dr. Venom’s mind enters Dr. Mindbender’s body through the Brainwave Scanner.
