Season 1 Episode 49
Trapped
Original Air Date: Thursday, November 28, 1985
Official Synopsis
CREETARA and TYGRA are aboard the Feliner when it is caught in a galactic meteor storm and badly damaged. LION-0 and PANTHRO attempt to bring the Feliner in for a safe landing. WILYKAT and WILYKIT are stranded in the storm raging on another part of Third Earth. They seek shelter inside a Suspension Capsule (which was used during the ThunderCats voyage from ThunDERa to Third Earth) and get stuck in it. They call Cats' Lair for help. The MUTANTS, who set out to capture them, intercept their message. LION-0 and SNARF take the ThunderTank to search for WILYKAT and WILYKIT. S-S-SLITHE gets to them first and tows the Suspension Capsule with the THUNDERKITTENS inside back to Castle Plun-Darr. Meanwhile, the galactic meteor storm sends the Feliner spinning out of control. LION-0 uses the Eye of ThunDERa in the Sword to guide it to safety. MUMM-RA learns of the THUNDERKITTENS' capture and steals them from the MUTANTS. The other THUNDERCATS chase MUMM-RA in the ThunderTank. It is WILYKAT and WILYKIT who turn the tide when they inflate one of their Magic Pellets into a Mirror Balloon. MUMM-RA sees his own reflection in the balloon and returns to his Pyramid, defeated. SNARF finally frees the THUNDERKITTENS from the capsule by giving it a good swift kick.
MoralThe chaos of a powerful storm and the actions of the Mutants upset the calm of the ThunderCats. An electrical storm endangers the return in the Feliner of Cheetara and Tygra when the controls are damaged and communication is lost, and WilyKat and WilyKit find themselves trapped in an old suspension capsule after climbing in to stay dry. In the face of these dangers, Lion-O calls on the Eye of Thundera. He uses its beam projected into space to guide in the Feliner. And he combats Mumm-Ra with it to free the ThunderKittens, aided by their quick thinking.
We learn from this episode not to give up hope even when things seem really bad. And we also learn that panic in the face of danger is not productive, but that remaining calm and being resourceful is more likely to help us. The constancy and stability of the Eye of Thundera proved important in guiding Cheetara and Tygra home. Our own stability and persistence in times of trouble will help us as well. As Cheetara says, "You're not trapped until you stop trying." WilyKat and WilyKit persevered and didn't give up, and they were even able to help Lion-O defeat Mumm-Ra. Our own perseverance and determination are important traits to develop. They can help us when we meet with a crisis or when things are not going well.
