Synopsis[]

The Sorceress and the Spirit of Grayskull are watching Teela training with Adam and Man-At-Arms. Longing to see her daughter, the Sorceress decides to go to her in the form of Zoar. Meanwhile at Snake Mountain, Skeletor has created a weapon to send He-Man into another dimension, never to return. After spotting Zoar flying above the fortress (and unaware of her true nature), he makes her his target for a demonstration of the weapon's power. Thus the Sorceress abruptly find herself displaced to another world full of active volcanoes, and is left wondering how He-Man, or anyone else, will find here here. Seeking refuge in a cave from the constant eruptions, she is trapped when a rockslide blocks the entrance and about to be buried in a rising flood of lava.

Back in the kingdom, Teela and Man-At-Arms's sparring fight is almost over when the Spirit of Grayskull contacts them, warning of the Sorceress's disappearance. While the others get ready, the Spirit asks Teela to take the Sorceress's place, saying she's the right person. Despite her confusion, she accepts the task.

After transforming into their alter egos, He-Man and Battle Cat hasten to Snake Mountain to question Skeletor about his possible role in the Sorceress' disappearance. They encounter Skeletor and Evil-Lyn, who - rightfully - claim ignorance; but after learning that Grayskull is now undefended, Skeletor has Evil-Lyn blast his "guests" with the displacer gun, sending them to the same volcanic world as the Sorceress. By telepathically contacting the Sorceress, He-Man learns of her predicament and rescues her. Combining the power of He-Man's sword with the Sorceress' own skill in magic, they make their way back to Eternia.

After Teela arrives at the castle, the Spirit lets her inside and begins teaching her in the use of magic, which she finds difficult. As she trains in clairvoyance magic, she spots Skeletor, Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw standing right outside the castle, ready to enter. As the only defender at hand, she disguises herself in the Sorceress' robes and tries to bluff the villains away. Skeletor, however, sees through her ruse and sends Trap Jaw to capture her. But with the help of multiple illusions conjured by the Spirit, Teela imprisons him in a pit trap.

Teela calls her father, who encourages her to continue the fight until he arrives, then she faces Evil-Lyn, who carries the displacer. The Spirit distracts Evil-Lyn with another illusionary Teela, allowing the real Teela to capture her and the weapon. After tying up and gagging Evil-Lyn, Teela confronts Skeletor, only to be distracted by Evil-Lyn, who has partially freed herself. Skeletor blasts the displacer out of her hands, but before he can attack her as well, the Sorceress intervenes, prompting Skeletor to flee through a teleportal and leaving his henchmen to face capture.

With things restored to normal, the Sorceress meets Teela and assures her that she was exactly the right person to assume the role as Grayskull's defender. At Teela's confusion, the Sorceress promises that one day all will be revealed and hints that her mother "would be" very proud of her. Teela responds by telling the Sorceress that she wishes her mother to be just like her, causing the Sorceress to tear up in pride and then hugging her daughter.

Moral[]

Man-At-Arms: "Today we learned that sometimes our responsibilities can seem too much to handle. When a job seems bigger than we are, it's easy to be discouraged, to give up. But sometimes, if you try, really try, you can do it. When you come right down to it, there's only one thing others can expect of us, and that we can expect of ourselves: to do our best. See you next time."
