Meanwhile, the Black Lion reveals how it was created, and how Zarkon & Alfor were once friends. Hunk meets up with Keith, then Pidge with Lance (after they bought everything in the store) and finally meet up with Coran who has the lenses. Pidge and Lance find a shop which sells Earth material from the 1980's. Hunk is made to work off a tab for Sal, the owner of Vrepit Sal's diner, and earns a mass customer following with his gourmet skills.

Keith goes to a knife salesman for information on the blade he has, but learns it is from an extinct people before the salesman tries to steal it from him.

Varkon, a bumbling mall rent-a-cop, sees the four Paladins drop their terrible disguises and pursues them through the mall. After Coran details his time in the swap meets as edgy and filled with space pirates, they arrive and find it to resemble an average mall on Earth. Shiro attempts to create a deeper bond with the Black Lion, while Coran takes the others to a swap meet, where they have some strange adventures. Using his Slipperies, Coran lubricates the lenses to fully jump the castle away from Zarkon. Coran positions the paladins in a unique fashion INSIDE the wormhole generator in order for it to fully function. In engineering, Coran details what type of lenses they need, then Pidge remembers Hunk's cookies are exactly what they need. When hiding in a cosmic storm cloud, Allura comes to some realization that Zarkon is following them by tracking her energies. Zarkon's ship discovers them again and another battle and jump leaves them without anymore crystal lenses needed for another wormhole. When Team Voltron attempt some rest- Lance and Keith try to make it to a pool, Hunk makes transparent blue cookies, Pidge learns beginner Altaean, and Shiro is on watch. As they manage to escape, it is only after jumping that their wormhole generator is malfunctioning due to broken focus lenses. Exhausted after a battle, the crew must spring back into action when Zarkon's forces track them down.
