Meanwhile, Lion-O, who is initially not participating in the game, is approached by Jaga, a wise and elder ThunderCat. Jaga teaches Lion-O about the importance of strategy and how to think outside the box. With a newfound understanding, Lion-O returns to the game and uses his newly acquired knowledge to outwit Pumm-Ra.

Throughout the episode, the ThunderCats' teamwork is put to the test as they learn to work together to defeat their enemy. The episode showcases each ThunderCat's strengths and weaknesses, highlighting the importance of cooperation and unity.
