This one has everything: the formation of new corporations! Actual child abuse! And a new, hotter Jem!
It's about time we got to the "fashion" part of the theme song lyrics.
It wouldn't be the 80s without a skiing adventure. I guess.
A not-at-all-tedious chase to locate two tiny pieces of jewelry in an ENTIRE GIANT COUNTRY.
Jem works tirelessly to save an orphan's eyesight.
I suppose Kimber does technically rebel in this episode, but it's an odd thing to use for a title.

Leatherneck and Wetsuit save the day while on a date.
Some (all) people aren't cut out to be leaders.

The stunning conclusion of this weirdly good, somewhat serious episode!
This is not Shipwreck's beautiful house! This is not Shipwreck's beautiful former mermaid wife!
It starts with "Coverta Fatale" and gets sillier from there.
Quite possibly the greatest artistic achievement in the history of humankind.
Cobra takes over TV. Which is exactly as amazing as you think it is.
