Synopsis
The Joes launch a sea assault to rescue the recon team on Cobra Island, as the Baroness fatally shoots Storm Shadow as he aids Snake-Eyes in his escape. Zartan (as Ripcord), is drugged and flown back to the Pit for medical aid, and Doc notices something strange when he sees Zartan's holographic disguise disappear for a second due to the drugs at the Pit. Ripcord (as Zartan), lands at Springfield airport, tended to by the unsuspecting Dreadnoks.
