Season 1 Episode 20 Return to Thundera Original Air Date: Friday, October 04, 1985
Official SynopsisThe MUTANTS create WARBOT, a Plun-Darrian war robot, to destroy Cats' Lair. Unaware of this, LION-0 enters the Time Capsule's hologram and travels back in time and space to his home planet ThunDERa. He arrives the day before the destruction of the planet, and all is in turmoil. LION-0 is reunited with his childhood pet, KANO, who leads him to his blind father, CLAUD-US. LION-0 fights off S-S-SLITHE and VULTUREMAN who menace CLAUD-US for the stolen plans of the WARBOT. CLAUD-US gives LION-0 the plans. CLAUD-US remains on ThunDERa and LION-0 travels back to Third Earth through the hologram to find the THUNDERCATS battling the WARBOT. LION-0 utilizes CLAUD-US' secret plans to pierce the WARBOT's absorber disc, short-circuiting and destroying the monster robot.
MoralLion-O, as Lord of the ThunderCats, shows curiosity to learn of his heritage. By traveling back in the time capsule, he seeks to learn about the culture of his ancestors. It was this culture that engendered the code by which he and the other ThunderCats live and which serves as their sustaining force. Lion-O's interest and journey is rewarded with some technical knowledge and a lesson. The plans of the Warbot help him defeat the Mutants' plans to destroy the ThunderCats. And the lesson is that history can be a significant teacher. An awareness of one's heritage and the events that shaped the present can aid us in understanding and living in the present and in avoiding mistakes in building a better future.
In seeking to find out about his heritage, Lion-O is confirming his identity as a ThunderCat. One's identity is socially bestowed, socially sustained, and socially transformed. It is the process of socialization by which individuals become prepared for the roles they will play in society. Children become socialized by various agencies within society, such as the family, peer groups, the media and the school system. The beginnings of the child's appreciation of roles is achieved in his interactions with adults and peers as he perceives different roles are required in different contexts and he learns to recognize the expectations of others in his own behavior.
