Ron Goulart & Julian Gardner

This seems to be the episode that stuck the most with old fans of the show (By Jaga! Did I just imply that I'm old?? heehee). Anyhow, it starts out with the Tcats having a ho-hum day, the only thing to do consists of scouting for more of their power source, Thundrillium. Panthro invented some nifty gadgets that detect the energy-producing mineral, in hopes that Third Earth harbors such an element.
Whilst searching, Tygra comes upon a cave that seems to be home to the motherload of Thundrillium. Unfortunately for our striped friend, the cave is also one of the many funky, enchanted places native to Third Earth, and so he begins to age rapidly once inside the cave a good distance.
Meanwhile, Lion-O is getting chased by Mutants and he also meets Willa, Queen of the Warrior Maidens. This tribe of tree-top dwelling women don't care too much for the Mutants or the ThunderCats at first. But eventually it is Willa that warns Lion-O about the serious doo-doo Tygra is in inside the cave, and thus saves Lion-O from rushing in and following suit. Lion-O realizes Cheetara can run fast enough to escape the Cave of Time's effects. She rescues Tygra and Willa guides them all to another enchanted area of Third Earth -- The Geyser of Life -- which restores Tygra to normal.
The whole scene involving Lion-O sneaking the ThunderTank out for a test drive before his first lesson is chuckle-worthy.
