Shadow of a Doubt

15th of 20 episodes in DiC season 2. Written by Michael Charles Hill. First aired November 6, 1991.









Previous episode: A Is for Android
Next episode: Keyboard Warriors

A Joe raid on a Cobra weapons stockpile in the desert ends with Storm Shadow capturing Cobra Commander, and Destro capturing General Hawk. Cobra Commander is taken to the Joes' new Headquarters, whose coordinates he sends to Destro using a hidden transmitter. During Cobra's attack on the new base, the Commander convinces Storm Shadow to help him escape. The two fly to an inner city Cobra base disguised as an abandoned building. The Joes follow and attack the base, but with Storm Shadow's help, the Joes are all captured. Hawk soon escapes, incensed at Storm Shadow despite the team's insistence that the ninja is not to blame.

Confronted by Hawk and a jealous Night Creeper Leader on the base's roof, Storm Shadow falls but is rescued by Snake Eyes. The other Joes, having also escaped, brief Hawk on Storm Shadow's ruse to find Cobra's inner city base and rescue the General. They all lead the pursuing Cobras down an alley, where they are protected by disguised Fort America emplacements. To add insult to injury, the Cobra base is served with a foreclosure notice for delinquent payments to the bank. The Joes agree to partner with the bank to help rebuild the neighborhood.
