Philos, a half planet and half comet, is getting ready to pass by Planet Arus for the first time in 52 years. Philos has been taken over by Lotor, who has been having the slaves build a monument to Allura. Zarkon tries to have his son arrested for disobeying him, but then Lotor shows him a new weapon to destroy Voltron and conquer Arus with, the Herculean Generator. Meanwhile, Count Zane of Philos arrives on Arus, and informs the Voltron Force that Zarkon now controls Philos, and has the Generator. They also get a distress call from the Galaxy Alliance that one of their ships has crash landed on Philos after a battle with Queen Merla. Zane offers his services, and everyone except Lance is ready to accept his help. Lance thinks that Zane is leading them into a trap.
