Go To

Original Air Date (UK): Nov 27, 1990

The Dream Maker surprises Rufus and Amberley with a daydream bubble. Launched from Urpgor's cannon as oblivious test subjects, Blob, Nug and Frizz land in the daydream bubble. Also Zordrak's origin of evil is revealed. After the daydream is finished, the Urpneys are launched back to Viltheed

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • Call-Back: Several to the pilot episode, most of which are allusions to Rufus' dream at the beginning.
  • Cosmic Plaything: Blob, Frizz and Nug just can't catch a break inside the daydream.
  • Mid-Season Twist: Zordrak's origin is revealed, and the planet Rufus travelled to in his dream in the pilot is in fact real life Genius Loci, Planet Dreamstone.
  • Start of Darkness: The Noops watch a projected flashback of Zordrak's Faceā€“Heel Turn.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Urpgor goes into a tantrum after the Urpney trio return alive and (mostly) well.
