Getting to Guile

 

Guile has been captured by Bison and is been made to suffer through the use of nightmares, which eventually trick Guile into seeing that Bison is his friend and that the Street Fighters are the ones who betrayed and hate him. Meanwhile, Escher gets Chun-Li and a team to track down Guile and rescue him.


 

Hostages have been taken by Bison's guards, but Guile arrives on his own to stop them. The guards are all soon knocked to the floor, with only one remaining. However, before Guile can take him out the guard starts to morph in front of his eyes, and it's revealed that it's really Bison. Guile tries to kick him but Bison keeps warping to avoid his attacks, and then vanishes himself. Guile starts to run towards the hostages, but they vanish as well. As Guile shouts "noooooo!", he suddenly wakes up and is in his room. It was all a dream.
 

Guile goes to Escher, who comments about his bad dreams, but suddenly Bison appears behind them both and tells Guile not to trust him. Escher suddenly shoves his desk out of the way and tosses Guile into a wall, then transformers into some mutant freak, telling Guile that "Bison can't help him now" and that the Street Fighter organisation no longer has any use for him.
 

It turns out that this is another one of Guile's dreams, and it shows him strapped into a chair whilst wearing some kind of funky head gear. Bison and the scientist who set this up are most pleased with the results of what they are doing to Guile.
 

Meanwhile, Chun-Li is in a fight with a large muscle bound moron, who is slow and cumbersome. Chun-Li outsmarts him very easily and kicks him to make him fall over, then finishes him off with a spinning bird kick. Outside, she meets up with a crime lord who promised that he would give her the information she wants is she beat his best fighter. He says he will give it to her if she goes to her hotel room.
 

In her room though Chun-Li finds a message saying that she is needed by Escher. She meets up with him and Escher explains that Guile has been taken by Bison. Dee Jay suddenly appears and explains how it happened.
 

FPS level design storage warehouse

Whilst walking down a dock to meet friends of Dee Jay's, a load of crates suddenly fall on him and Guile. Bison and a gang of his thugs appear, including Zangief. After beating up the thugs Bison uses his powers to get mind control over Guile who Zangief quickly grabs, and they all depart.
 

After Chun-Li discusses with the others how they are going to get Guile back, and another scene between Guile and Bison, a new scene starts presenting us with yet another dumbass Ryu and Ken situation; this time, Ken has a map to a pharaoh's tomb (seriously, what?) which these other guys with guns don't like. Ryu and Ken start to beat them up, and they run away when Chun-Li and Dee Jay appear.
 

Ken doesn't want to help out at first but Ryu does. Blanka suddenly shows up out of nowhere in a neat disguise, much to the surprise of all the others. Dee Jay asks how Blanka found them, but Chun-Li suddenly says that they have to find Guile right now - a convenient way for the writers not to explain how on earth Blanka got there.
 

Bison and the scientist are going through Guile's memories to try and find a weakness. At first, the scientist goes back way to far in time to when Guile was just a little kid, then to when he was a little older and training with his father, to finally when he was much older and dating Cindy, who we last saw in "The Adventure Begins". It shows that Guile left Cindy after being with her for so long due to military work. Bison says "that's it!" and that's Guiles weakness. At a warehouse, the Street Fighter team meet up with Honda who uses a computer to find Guile's location, and start to move in.
 

In another one of Guile's wacky dreams, he spots Escher telling Cindy that Guile is a traitor and that he is the one she loves. Guile tries to stop him, but Escher kicks him down, and then takes Cindy away. For some reason Escher is completely in shadow, even when he's look directly at Guile!
 

Suddenly Guile is surrounded by Chun-Li, Ryu, Ken, Dee Jay and Blanka, who all point at him and keep shouting "traitor". Dee Jay gets the awesome line of "your woman Cindy be betta off without you mon!" Guile gets angry and tries to attack them, but they all grow to giant sizes and start to push Guile around, then Blanka grabs and throws him away. Bison suddenly appears and helps Guile up. Guile now thinks that Bison is his friend, and that the Street Fighters are all evil.
 

The Street Fighter team is being flown in by Cammy. The plan is devised, and at it's most basic the team has to parachute in and fight their way through Bison's base to get to Guile, then get out alive.
 

Back at Bison's base, Bison gets Guile and tells him that he has something to show him. He leads Guile to a dark room where suddenly Blanka appears. Guile smashes him up without hesitation, much to Bison's pleasure.
 

Back outside the base the team have landed and move in. The outside guards are easily beaten, and Ryu opens up the main door, allowing the team to go inside. Blanka says that he senses Guile is near, whilst Bison watches the team progress through his security cameras.
 

Bison manages to split up the team, leaving most of them to deal with mutant freaks, whilst Chun-Li finds Guile. Bison warns Guile that she is here to destroy him, and Guile attacks her with a sonic boom, believing that she is a traitor.
 

The rest of the team take out the mutants, and then Blanka destroy a wall to get to Chun-Li and Guile. Guile is still enraged, but by saying "justice ... discipline ... commitment" over and over again, Guile suddenly remembers who he is and falls out of Bison's control, much to the anger of Bison.
 

eyyy

Bison activates the self destruct sequence for the base, but the team manage to escape. Back on the plane, Ken makes a joke that one of the mutants looks like one of Ryu's ex-girlfriends, which everyone laughs at. Then Guile moans about how Bison could have gotten him to tell everything about the Street Fighter organisation, but Chun-Li says that anyone would have done that under that circumstance and that he shouldn't worry about it. And he's happy again.


This episode reveals why Guile and Cindy were so tense around each other in "The Adventure Begins", they started going out, but then Guile had to leave her for the Street Fighter organisation.

When Guile destroys the robot Blanka, a Chun-Li robot appears. Guile starts to walk towards it, but then the scene ends before he gets to destroy it. Because, you know, violence is wrong against women. Even if they are robot women.

Where is Cammy during the raid on Bison's base? Guarding the plane from... nothing?

This is probably the most wacky and humourous episode due to Guile's dreams. It's great the way Escher, who doesn't get to do much other than sit around throughout the entire two seasons, turns into a freak of nature AND attack Guile not once but twice.
