Meanwhile, Snake-eyes and Venom escape from their watery trap only to be captured by Cobra agents.

Both the Joes and Destro head to Coney Island looking for Scar-Face, but Snake-Eyes and Kwinn reach him first and learn Dr. Venom's location. Destro snatches Scar-Face from the Joes and heads to Libya. In Libya, Venom injects Scar-Face with the toxin as they head out in an armored column. The Joes capture Scar-Face exactly as planned by Destro, so Cobra can finally learn where the Joes' hidden base is.

The Joes learn of Cobra's plan to uncover the Pit's hidden location, and construct a false headquarters over the real thing, while setting them up to believe that their base is under quarantine from Scar-Face's infected body, cured by Doc. Cobra then attacks, and the Joes defend. The battle is won by the Joes but at a cost: Gen. Flagg, Kwinn, Scar-Face, and Dr. Venom are casualties, and Bludd escapes with the Baroness.

Indexer Notes

Retelling of "Silent Interlude." Has some questionable continuity choices such as the presence of a Tele-Viper, a class of Cobra troopers who didn't debut until a year after "Silent Interlude."
The identity of the pilot who dropped off Snake-Eyes in "Silent Interlude' is revealed here to be Wild Bill.
