Spell of the Siren22nd of 55 episodes in Sunbow season 1. Written by Gerry and Carla Conway. First aired October 25, 1985.Previous episode: Synthoid Conspiracy, Part 2 Next episode: Twenty Questions |
A team of G.I. Joe S.H.A.R.C.s search the Adriatic Sea to investigate Cobra activity. They attack an undersea base where Cobra has discovered a conch shell whose Siren-like song places men in a trance. Destro is captured, but the Baroness flees with the shell. Mocked by Cobra Commander, she tests the shell herself during an operation at the Alaskan pipeline, causing the Joe and Cobra men to be frozen in place but leaving the women unaffected. She then uses the shell to take over Cobra, capturing Cobra Commander and Tomax and imprisoning them at her mountain hideout.
The Baroness next stages an attack on Joe Headquarters using all-female forces. She frees Destro and leads the male Joes captive to her will. Scarlett, Lady Jaye, and Cover Girl, as well as a few Joes who were away from the base during the attack, locate the mountain hideout and form a brief alliance with Xamot, who wishes to free his brother. They attack the hideout and use a device that counters the effects of the siren song. The men return to normal, the prisoners are freed, and the Joes celebrate at Headquarters. Scarlett and Lady Jaye destroy the shell to "make the world safe" for men.

Misc. Notes
- On the DVDs from Shout! Factory, this episode is included in the Season 1.2 set (Disc 7, Episode 4).
- Curiously, one of Recondo's lines of dialogue is delivered by Hal Rayle, and the other is voiced by Michael Bell.
- As with the previous episode, off-model artwork and coloring errors mar the large group shots of Joes during the Headquarters attack.
