Synopsis for "Tourist Trap!"
Pirates have rescued Freefall and Burnout, forcing Roxy to cook and clean for them while Bobby shows off his powers. Their leader, Lucius Morgan a.k.a. the Pirate King, has agreed to help them rescue their teammates when he and his men take on the Coda. On the island, a Coda harem uses Grunge for breeding stock while their Majestrix Andromache interrogates Rainmaker, convinced she is a spy for the Pirate King. In the jungle, Fairchild finds a downed airplane and stumbles upon Jim McArthur. On the pirate ship, Morgan reveals to Burnout that he once had a relationship with a Coda warrior that produced a daughter. Upon her birth, the Coda kept her and executed the mother. Now, he intends to rescue the girl. She is the Majestrix’s attendant, Daphne, and she tells her story to the captive Rainmaker. Sarah promises to help her escape, and Daphne frees her. At Narita Airport in Japan, IO Black Hammers attack Lynch. The next morning, Fairchild and McArthur reconnoiter the Coda Citadel, and Caitlin prepares to rescue her friends.
