An Eye for an Eye

42nd of 55 episodes in Sunbow season 1. Written by Steve Mitchell and Barbara Petty. First aired November 8, 1985.









Previous episode: Eau de Cobra
Next episode: Primordial Plot

Cobra attacks a Joe convoy transporting a fusion-engine plane. During the battle, one Rattler is shot down and crashes into a family's cabin. With Lady Jaye's help, the family escapes with minor injuries, and the father, Charles Fairmont, blames G.I. Joe for the incident and vows to settle the score with Cobra himself. He infiltrates Joe Headquarters in search of information on Cobra activities but is quickly discovered by Lady Jaye. He persuades her to help him strike Cobra, escorting him to a base she thinks is abandoned. Rattlers attack as their Skystriker nears the base.

An experimental weapon causes the Skysytriker to crash near the island base. Lady Jaye is quickly captured and taken to interrogation. Mr. Fairmont comes to the rescue, and the two scrounge up explosives to destroy the weapon. As Cobra targets a Joe rescue team, Fairmont destroys the gun with a well-aimed grenade throw. Joes parachute onto the island as Lady Jaye shoots up the command center. Fairmont runs off after Cobra Commander and becomes a hostage. The Commander escapes, and Fairmont returns to his family.
