The Greatest Evil, Part 2

12th of 20 episodes in DiC season 2. Written by Bob Forward and Eve Forward. First aired October 22, 1991.

Previous episode: The Greatest Evil, Part 1
Next episode: Infested Island

Duke and Cobra Commander escape their crashing plane, and Shockwave and Crimson Guard #1 are able to elude their captors long enough to blow the Headman's distribution house. But the Headman and his money are gone, and Duke receives word that Falcon and Cindi have been kidnapped. The forces sift through the rubble and interrogate prisoners to find the Headman's remote desert factory, finally tracing its location when Falcon and Cindi reach a radio room and contact Duke.

As Headhunters chase after Falcon and Cindi, Joe and Cobra launch a full-scale attack on the factory. Overwhelmed, the Headman takes a dose of his Spark just before his office is raided. As he jumps down an escape hatch, Joes and Cobras give chase until he turns to spray them with a hose attached to his Spark supply. Falcon jumps the Headman, causing the kingpin to become coated with the drug. As his flesh begins to melt away, Cobra leaves to loot the factory, and Falcon reunites with the Joes. The Headman hits a self-destruct button as he collapses, just as Cobra discovers his money vault. The Joes and Cobras escape without incident, but Cobra's moneybags turn out to be filled with newspaper. Falcon and Cindi return to the hospital to finish their treatment.

Misc. Notes

On the DVDs from Shout! Factory, this episode is included in the Series 2, Season 2 set (Disc 2, Episode 5)
Range-Vipers are mentioned but do not appear in the episode.
When Falcon first contacts Duke, there is a brief shot from much later in the episode spliced in on the DVD copy (specifically, characters running toward the Headman's escape hatch.) I do not know whether this was present in the original airing.
Four Joes wearing Grid-Iron's uniform are seen cheering when Duke gives the order to move out. Also, among numerous animation errors, a Sky Creeper is seen with the Joes in the final group shot.
