Brothers of Light (Episode 13)
The Joes barely miss a woman on a desert road; she looks to be in a trance and warns the Joes not to look at the light before she passes out. The Joes take her back to the cult compound of the Brothers of Light, led by the twin brothers Tomax and Xamot. The brothers offer the Joes food and a place to stay for returning Sister Leia; Tunnel Rat is extremely skeptical of the brothers and their cult. The Joes are eventually led to the Temple of Light where they are hypnotized by Tomax and Xamot's power. Mindbender arrived at the compound as he's studying psychic powers; he too is hypnotized by the brothers and transfers money from Cobra's accounts to the brothers. Snake Eyes appears to help Tunnel Rat but once the Joes capture him and expose him to the light, he appears to be hypnotized by the twins. Tunnel Rat is locked up with Leia, who reveals that when the brothers are next to each other their hypnotic power can't be resisted. Meanwhile, the hypnotized Joes become the first Crismon Guards for the brothers. Snake Eyes frees Tunnel Rat, revealing that he wasn't hypnotized, and the two go and fight the brothers and their new Crismon Guard. Tunnel Rat destroys the giant pyramid but realizes that he needs to separate the brothers to break their hypnosis. He attempts to do that but is stopped by Crismon Guard Duke, who Tunnel Rat frees from the control by shocking him. Duke helps Tunnel Rat by throwing up to the platform where the brothers are and splits them apart freeing everyone from their control. Mindbender takes the brothers with him as their control powers will come in handy for Cobra.

Union of the Snake (Episode 18)
The Joes plan to crash a communications summit held by the Baroness at her family chateau, where they uncover a mind-control scheme involving Cobra Industries' "Black Adder" cellphone; the cell phone, which sends subliminal waves to the user, is capable of taking control of phone users via cerebral manipulation using Doctor Mindbender's mind-control technology siphoned from Tomax and Xamot's psychic ability. However, the Joes soon discover that Red Star aka Captain Anatoly Klimov has to grind against the Cisarovna family and their reign has also infiltrated the estate, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy the Baroness and her chateau.
