Synopsis for "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward"
Inside of the prison, Danny, Penny, and Charlie examined artifacts in a room, while Robot Archie opened fire on the guards, as Eagleton and Nolan watched. While the guards went on alert, Fred visited the Spider in his cell. Suddenly, Curistor Doom woke up from his sleep. Penny was reunited with the Claw and Tim Kelly and told them that she needed to find her father. They took her to his grave and told her how he had died. As prisoners began attempting to escape, Danny was reunited with his father: Curistor Doom. Robot Archie had been destroyed and Eagleton rushed to a cell and found a dead body, shortly before he was subdued by Grimly Feendish and his monsters. Curistor Doom claimed that everything was happening as he had planned. Then, Curistor Doom declared that Danny was "Doom the Magician" and must uphold the name of Doom, moments before the former disappeared through a portal. Danny attempted to reunite with Penny and Charlie, as a riot broke out in the room with the artifacts. Mytek had also broken out of the castle, while Nolan had learned that the Spider had escaped. At daytime, Danny, Penny, and Charlie had escaped with the prisoners onboard the Buoyant Queen. Two months later, the Claw broke into the residence of Prime Minister Tony Blair and demanded the Eye of Zoltec.
