Long Summary
On Cobra Island, Destro, the Baroness and Dr. Mindbender inspect the dead body of Storm Shadow. The Baroness reminds them that a ninja is able to slow there respiration and heartbeat. Dr. Mindbender orders the body taken to cold storage.
In The Pit, Doc is taking a blood sample from Zartan who is still posing as Rip Cord. When Doc returns Snake-Eyes/Zartan is in room and he knocks out Doc. Scarlett sounds the alert that an intruder is trying to escape. All Joes are on alert. A cat and mouse game happens as Zartan continues to change into different Joes and causing lots of confusion and mistaken identity. In the communication room, Zartan/Doc is grabbed by the Joes, just as the real Doc enters the room. Breaker has just received a message from Rip Cord that Zartan has taken his place and is in The Pit. Zartan turns invisible, which is just a camouflage trick, but it works and gets him free in the Pit, again. Another part of Breaker's message is that Rip Cord also knows the location of Cobra headquarters.
In Springfield, Buzzer tells Rip Cord, who is dressed as Zartan, that he escaped from The Pit with a girl prisoner. Rip Cord demands to know about the girl. That girl is Candy, his girlfriend, who is now dead. The last Buzzer saw of her was when she kicked him out the car. Rip Cord attacks Buzzer. The Dreadnoks subdue Rip Cord/Zartan and take him out of Springfield. At a rest stop, Rip Cord is able to call The Pit and inform them about the switch Zartan made back on Cobra Island and that he knows the location of Cobra's headquarters.
Back at The Pit, Sgt. Slaughter has just arrived. |
