General Hawk joins up with a group of guys in New Jersey who were told they were Joes and are guarding a secret missile. Zarana and the Dreadnoks discover it, and both groups try to keep the missile from going off, but fail due to the actions of a rogue group launching the missile after they were found to be in charge of it. The missile was aimed for Cobra Island, but destroyed because of Buzzer reaching the Consulate in New York in time to get a chopper to stop it. Hawk then makes his group full Joes, and Chuckles at the Pentagon forces the rogue group to resign.
