Lotor has escaped from prison and thespace pirates continue causing trouble. At the same time, Castle Doom is still out there somewhere. Amalgamus is trying to resolve these messes, but his methods and attitude leave a lot to be desired. Returning to Red Lion's cockpit after five years, Lance gladly takes matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, a trap is sprung,--by Lotor, Queequeg, and Lafitte--leaving him in quite a mess. Despite Amalgamus' orders, Keith, Allura, Hunk and Pidge know what they have to do--take their own Lions into battle once again.
