In the dungeon of the Cobra Silent Castle.
The Joes continue their escape with Wild Bill's help as now Storm Shadow is in tow as their prisoner. Snake-Eyes has been placed under Dr. Venom's brainwave scanner by Cobra Commander, and as Dr. Mindbender runs the program to turn Snake-Eyes, the late Dr. Venom's image appears on the scanner again. Storm Shadow vows to return to free his sword brother from Cobra, but there will be serious problems if he isn't aided, as Snake-Eyes is now a brainwashed Cobra agent. Meanwhile, Hawk begins to seek out the hidden Cobra sleeper agents inside the U.S. Government and elsewhere.

The intel on this place had better be right.
The Joes have been fully reinstated, and they rescue Chuckles, held captive by Cobra agents hiding out in the underground Cobra headquarters's remains located in the former town of Springfield. Once freed, he's taken back to the recently reactivated Pit III, the Joes' underground headquarters, to question Storm Shadow. The Commander doesn't really care Mindbender knows the Pit III is active again because he wonders what good is that knowledge if they can't get in, but Baroness tells him the recently brainwashed Snake-eyes can, and the Commander agrees to that plan.

I have noticed that your previous rancor toward billy has...
As Cobra Commander is in Broca Beach enacting his plan of killing off the Joes in the Pit III, Zartan meets up with the Dreadnoks at their headquarters in New Jersey, wanting them ready when the next opportunity arrives to gain favor. But the Dreadnoks won't work because they're starved and demand their usual fare of grape soda and doughnuts before they do anything else. Baroness confronts Lady Jaye while on the Dreadnok's food run and is captured by her. Billy's mind has been taken over by Venom's scanner so he can enact his revenge on Cobra; Destro is aware of this, but Mindbender's not.

Joe [Duke; Mainframe; Stalker; Scarlett; Spirit; Lady Jaye; Psyche-Out; Wild Bill; Clutch; Greenshirts]; Cobra [Cobra Commander; Billy (under the late Dr. Venom's mental control via the brainwave scanner); Destro; Baroness (captured by the Joes); Dreadnoks [Zartan; Ripper; Buzzer; Torch]; Tele-Viper; Cobra troopers; Dr. Mindbender; Snake-Eyes (under the brainwave scanner's influence)]; Storm Shadow
Dep below the Utah Desert, in the Pit.
The Joes have the Baroness under lock and key in the Pit III, and Destro plans a rescue attempt using Zartan and the Dreadnoks, due to the Commander's indecisiveness to do so. Mindbender wonders why Billy wants to be subjected willingly to the brainwave scanner so many times, not knowing Dr. Venom's consciousness inside the machine has taken over Billy. While Storm Shadow goes to free his sword brother Snake-Eyes from Cobra, Snakes attempts to free himself from the scanner's influence, chasing after Venom's consciousness inside.

In the basement of the wax museum in Broca Beach.
Cobra Commander ok's the attack on PIT III by Dr. Mindbender as a diversion while Destro and the Dreadnoks free the Baroness, as Spirit falls(?) to stop a lone B.A.T. armed w/explosives set to blow up the PIT. Snake-Eyes is freed from the late Dr. Venom's control by Storm Shadow using the Arashikage mindset, returning his sword brother back to normal (Snake-Eyes failing his own attempt last issue by way of Venom's actions inside his mind via the scanner), but Billy is still under Venom's influence.

Spirit survived his 'sacrifice' vs. the B.A.T. from last issue, as Tunnel Rat and Tripwire search outside the Pit III for any unexploded ordnance during the air battle. Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow confront the Dr. Venom-controlled Billy, and free him from Venom's influence by placing him under the scanner, and trapping Venom's virtual consciousness once again inside via an image of Kwinn taking him captive.
