Flint's Vacation44th of 55 episodes in Sunbow season 1. Written by Beth Bornstein. First aired November 13, 1985.Previous episode: Primordial Plot Next episode: Hearts and Cannons |
Flint leaves Joe HQ for a surprise visit to his cousin in Pleasant Cove. Flint arrives to find his cousin's family in a hypnotic state, and they immediately go to bed. He suffers nightmares of Cobra that night and awakens to see the town's residents filing out into the streets, escorted by Cobra troopers. He follows the crowd to the docks, sees them boarding a submarine, and visits the local sheriff's office, which is occupied by Zartan and the Dreadnoks. He flees, and Cobra gives chase. Flint is eventually captured and taken to Cobra's underwater base, where the townspeople are being used as slave labor. Cobra hypnotizes Flint using a recording of a local news broadcast.
Cobra broadcasts a threat to destroy the world's vegetation, and the Joes spot Flint working behind Cobra Commander. Lady Jaye and Breaker parachute into Pleasant Cove and infiltrate a suspicious TV studio. They discover the subliminal messages in the news broadcast. Following a brief battle on the ocean surface, a Joe team uses a stolen Cobra sub to break into the underwater city. Cobra summons the townspeople to attack them, but their trance is broken when Breaker broadcasts his own message using the subliminal transmitter. Meanwhile, Tripwire is unable to stop Cobra's plant-destroying rocket, but he re-routes it into space. Cobra Commander activates a self-destruct mechanism, but the Joes evacuate the city in time.
