Previous episode: There's No Place Like Springfield, Part 1
Followed by: Sunbow Season 2 Opening Sequence

Shipwreck is deposited in his yard. Polly reports to Cobra Commander, who is trying to learn Mullaney's secret formula from Shipwreck. He insists ignorance while being interrogated by the Crimson Guard, but confesses that there is a code word known only to Lady Jaye. Cobra is revealed to be searching for Mullaney; the whole future scenario is a ruse, the retired Joes having been synthoids. The real Polly arrives and coaches Shipwreck through a realization of Cobra's plot.

Shipwreck makes his way to Cobra's underground base, which he discovers is Cobra's Temple Alpha. He finds a lab, where Polly recites the code word he overheard from Prof. Mullaney. Shipwreck dumps the formula's ingredients into the sewer system and drops a match, setting off explosions all over the island. The Joes sight the explosions from the USS Flagg, where Lady Jaye and Prof. Mullaney are revealed to be safe. Shipwreck discovers his wife and daughter are synthoids, leaving him with nothing as he rejoins the Joe Team.

Misc. Notes

  • On the DVDs from Shout! Factory, this episode is included in the Season 1.3 set (Disc 11, Episode 8)
  • The dialogue identifies Cobra's base as Temple Alpha, said to be their main island headquarters, but an on-screen map gives it the name Springfield, which was the location of Cobra's hidden headquarters in the Marvel comic series.
