This episode of Transformers Animated carries on from Where is Thy Sting, with the Autobot's chasing down Wasp. As they close in Swoop suddenly appears, swooping in and taking Wasp with him. Sentinal Prime orders Jetfire and Jetstorm to pursue him, carrying him by a magnet attached to his head. Optimus Prime tries to tell him that there is something he should know, but Sentinal doesn't listen.
We then jump to Dinobot Island in the middle of Lake Eerir, where Blackarachnia has taken over Meltdown's lab. Swoop arrvies with Wasp and she starts to enlist his help, by promising to give him new power. Whilst Blackarchnia convinces Wasp to take part in her experiments Sentinal and the brothers Jet (Jetfire and Jetstorm) arrive on the island. As Wasp agree's and is knocked unconscience due to the pain, Sentinal Prime comes up with a plan to sneak past the Dinobots and into the lab. He asks Jetfire and Jetstorm to create a diversion and sneaks in.
Inside Sentinal Prime discovers Blackarchnia, who reveals her past to Sentinal.

The final scene's see Waspinator in pieces pulling himself together (in typical Beast Wars style). Blackarachnia also looks up and sees the faces of some familiar looking animals (an ape, rhino, cheetor and rat). It appears they have been transported back into the Beast Wars!
