Ma-Mutt informs Mumm-Ra that, as planned, the Luna-Taks are free. Mumm-Ra transforms Ma-Mutt into a Berbil so that he may spy on the Thundercats unnoticed. The Ma-Mutt/Berbil learns about the construction of the Tower of Omens, a new Thundercats fortress at the edge of the Forest of Mists. Ma-Mutt informs Mumm-Ra of the pla nto build the new Thundercat fortress and Mumm-Ra, not yet strong enough to battle, sends Ma-Mutt to instruct the Luna-Taks to destroy the Tower of Omens before it is completed. Disguised once again as Mumm-Ra, Ma-Mutt gains entry to Skytomb, informs the Luna-Taks of the Tower and the Luna-Taks attack. The Thundercats counter-attack in the ThunderStrike. As Lion-O summons the rest of the Thundercats with the Sword, Lynx-O and Snarf rewire Lynx-O's Braille Board so that it blasts Skytomb with electrical bolts, enveloping it in flames. The Mutants escape and the Luna-Taks, witnessing the explosion, escape in the Luna-Tacker. The Luna-Taks board the damagaed Skytomb and glee, failing to complete their mission of destroying the Tower of Omens. Mumm-Ra witnesses the Luna-Taks' defeat in his cauldron and pledges to ask the Anicent Priests of Evil to restore him to his full strength so that he can destroy the Thundercats himself. Either Mumm-Ra will get his wish and be more powerful than before, or the Ancients will deny his request and condemn him to burn forever.

A strategy or plan of action increases our ability to achieve goals. Both the Thundercats and their enemies acknowledge this need in this episode. The Thundercats plan to defend themselves against the Luna-Taks by building a Tower of Omens. It includes a scanner connected to Lynx-O's Braille Board. Using Lynx-O's extraordinary ability to see and know intuitively by use of touch, the plan class for him to serve as a central strategist to deploy the Thundercats to turn back Skytomb. Mumm-Ra concedes a need to know the Thundercats' plans and sends Ma-Mutt as a spy. And the Mutants acknowledge their need to develop a plan against the Luna-Taks before they end up as slaves.

Our own ability to solve problems or achieve goals is enhanced when we take time to think before we act. Generating many alternative solutions to a problem allows us to choose the most appropriate one for us to achieve our goal. Rather than acting impulsively, we are better off first to consider alternative actions and make plans. Then, as we act, we can instruct ourselves in how we are doing in carrying out our own plan. In this way, we are more likely to succeed and less likely to be set back by unanticipated difficulties.
