A small group of Joes infiltrate the Terror-Drome to rescue Snake-Eyes, and Stalker is wounded in the attempt, so Snake-Eyes stays behind to cover their escape. Destro and Cobra Commander escape The Pit, man disguises and go cruising, and the Commander finds his son, Billy, (severely injured from issue #43), after a sheriff recognizes him from a photo Billy had on his person as his dad even in disguise. Grunt leaves the Joes after his tour of duty is up with them.
