Episode Summary

Overlord's Black Widows plan a surprise attack on General McFarland's wife and child. Although the Zone Riders succeed in saving them, Bandit secretly places a miniature Zone Pod in the pocket of one of General McFarland's uniforms. Overlord succeeds in Zoning everyone at Mission Command Central and now the Zone Riders are under a tight deadline when trying to retake it.

Episode Notes

This is a fast paced episode featuring one of Overlord's more brilliant schemes to defeat the Zone Riders. The sense of urgency of the Zone Riders having to retake M.C.C. before the air strike keeps the the viewer on the edge of the seat all the way through. I also like how General McFarland and Commander Courage touch on the subject of family both near the beginning and at the very end, something most kids (the target market at the time) wouldn't relate to.
