Lion-O learns a lesson after using the Sword of Omens to summon the other ThunderCats to help him carry insulation to Cats’ Lair. Meanwhile, Panthro begins exploring Third Earth in search of Thundrillium. He encounters Tessa, a lone warrior maiden, under attack by Rockmen. Together, they fight them off and retreat in the ThunderTank to a nearby cave. Using the last of the tank’s power, they collapse the cave mouth to stop the pursuing Rockmen. Trapped inside the cave, Tessa recounts the story of how she summoned darkling powers to protect her treetop village from Mumm-Ra’s Dagger Mist.
Quotes[]
Panthro: You're still learning the responsiblities of being hereditary leader of the ThundeCats, Lion-O - but you must realise thar the Sword of Omens, and the Eye of Thundera embedded in the hilt, must never, never be used frivolously.

Snarf: WilyKit and WilyKat don't have any chores this afternoon either! I'm sure the four of us can...
WilyKit: Sorry, Snarf, we're going to test drive the new spaceboards Panthro made for us.
WilyKat: Yeah, see ya!
Snarf: Spaceboard! Hmph! In my day kids weren't so doggoned lazy! Snarf Snarf!
