Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers Season 1 Episode 7 Dale Beside Himself

In Dale Beside Himself, the seventh episode of Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers season 1, the titular characters and their teammates are in for a wild ride when Dale becomes trapped inside the mind of a giant gorilla.

The episode begins with the Rescue Rangers responding to a call for help from a local zoo, where a group of animals has been acting very strangely. Upon arrival, they discover that a massive gorilla named Gorlon is the source of the issue. His usually gentle demeanor has been replaced by one of aggression and restlessness, leaving both the zookeepers and the other animals in danger.

During an attempt to investigate the cause of Gorlon's behavior, Dale is accidentally zapped with a powerful blast of energy, sending him sprawling to the ground. When he comes to, he appears to be fine at first, but soon begins acting out of character. He becomes increasingly hyperactive and manic, often speaking in gibberish and exhibiting bizarre behavior that reminds his friends of Gorlon's actions.

As the team scrambles to find a way to cure Dale, they realize that he has somehow become psychically linked to Gorlon, sharing his thoughts and emotions. This connection has caused Dale to become "beside himself," as the episode's title suggests, with the gorilla's energy and behavior affecting his own.

Despite Dale's ordeal, the Rescue Rangers refuse to give up on him and quickly come up with a plan. They decide to shrink themselves down to size and enter Gorlon's mind, hoping to discover the root of his issues and reverse the damage done to Dale.

Once inside Gorlon's mind, the team finds themselves in a trippy and surreal landscape, filled with bizarre imagery and obstacles. They encounter all sorts of strange creatures and otherworldly beings, causing them to question whether they'll ever be able to find their way out again. Meanwhile, back in the real world, Dale's condition worsens, leaving his friends with little time to save him.

In the end, the Rescue Rangers are able to uncover the source of Gorlon's problems and help him overcome them, allowing Dale to snap out of his manic state and return to his normal self. The episode wraps up with the team reflecting on the strange adventure they've been on and the bonds that keep them together, leaving viewers excited for what's to come in future episodes of Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers.
