Sins of Our Fathers28th of 30 episodes in Sunbow season 2. Story by Steve Gerber, Teleplay by Buzz Dixon. First aired November 18, 1986.Previous episode: Not a Ghost of a Chance Next episode: In the Presence of Mine Enemies |
Against Destro's objections, Cobra Commander is attempting to communicate with a creature below Destro's ancestral home. At Joe Headquarters, Dial-Tone learns his application for reenlistment has been denied and he is discharged. In disguise, Zarana recruits Dial-Tone to help with a communications system that turns out to be the Commander's project. Flint, also in disguise, monitors Dial-Tone's activity, but his cover is blown. Hawk leads a Joe rescue team that arrives just as Cobra succeeds in contacting the creature.
Cobra Commander sends the creature after Serpentor. The Joes are unable to hurt it, but they follow it to Cobra Island and attempt to warn Serpentor, realizing Cobra's help may be necessary to stop it. The creature is too strong for Cobra, so Serpentor draws it away from the Terror Drome. Destro eventually offers assistance, and the Joes use his recording of a chant to lure the creature out to a deep sea trench.
