Flash arrives as Dale is getting mauled (or possibly humped) by the Sacred Tigron. Dale actually looks like she can hold her own with the Tigron but Flash bursts in and kills it with his bare hands.
It's actually quite upsetting. Dale says, "Flash - you've killed him!" and Flash says, rather too nonchalantly, "Yes. I guess I got here just in time". I must say, they seem to be offing Sacred Creatures at a rate of knots - that's the Orangopoid, the Fire Dragon and now the Tigron in the space of four episodes.
Barin persuades Princess Aura that she'll never win Flash's heart by killing Dale. She agrees to help them escape. Barin's sweaty Belgian charms appear to be winning her over after all.
Aura asks Ming to let everyone go. Ming agrees, but you can tell he doesn't mean it.
Ming's guards destroy Zarkov's Invisibility Machine on Ming's orders. Zarkov is heart-broken, particularly as he never got to turn himself invisible with it. Dale and Flash arrive to tell Zarkov the good news, but Zarkov is still upset about his machine. Dale says, "But we weren't going to use it again anyway, were we?" and Zarkov shoots her a Look Of Death.
They contact the Stupid Earthlings and tell them they're coming home. Professor Gordon looks a little like Walt Disney. His reaction is a badly-delivered "That's welcome news."
Flash and friends don't trust Ming. Vulcan invites them to the Sky City before they leave for Earth. Ming sends his men to spy on everyone and seize any opportunity to destroy them all.
Barin arranges to send his rocket ship for them - he tells them he'll meet them at the Turret House, by the 'lake of rocks'. Sadly we don't get to see what a lake of rocks looks like. Ming's guards overhear the plan and Ming says he'll have an "excellent surprise" waiting for them, before slinking off in an evil fashion.
There's a lot of repeated footage of spaceships flying, the Giant Iguanas and even the (now supposedly imprisoned) High Priest striking the gong again. Flash and friends contact Lion King over the spaceograph again, but I'm not sure why. Perhaps they miss him. Or perhaps they are trying to set him up with Zarkov, since they share similar tastes in beards.
Anyway, they arrive at the Turret and see Barin's ship arriving, but it fires at them instead! As they duck into the Turret House the whole place explodes around them.
