Here, we learn that Tygra just can't say no. This installment of the series is trippy indeed....and I mean that literally.

The show opens with a series of earthquakes. Tygra goes out to investigate and falls down a fissure created by another series of quakes. He runs into the Mole Men, and at first think they are responsible for the geological rumblings. However, he gets distracted by a huge yellow worm that leaves a trail of sparkling slime. Tygra follows the perty slime and finds Silky, basically a corn stalk with a face, waiting to bait him with fruit. After munching on the fruit, Tygra goes on a wild, mind-bending hallucination and we learn Silky is really Mumm-Ra --- that devious terd!

Tygra goes on to act the strung out junkie until he is so dependent on the fruit, Mumm-Ra is able to convince him to steal the Sword of Omens. Mummsie is happier than a snarf hopped up on Candy Fruit to finally have the SoO in his grasp. He becomes quite peeved when he can't control its power. He gets the wise idea to summon Willa to wield the Sword in his stead. Since she is a pure spirit, she is able to summon the Sword's powers, including Second Sight. So with Tygra still under his green thumb and Willa brandishing the Sword, Mumm-Ra promptly puts the ThunderCats in their place.
Luckily, Willa and Tygra wise up in time to avert disaster.

The odd tidbit:

At one point in the battle scene, the Mutants use their writst bands to teleport somewhere. But with their ship beneath the Desert of Sinking Sands, it's hard to say where to they vanished. And also odd they never used that trick more often....
