Cobra gains control of a secret process which can either reverse or speed up aging. Cobra uses this on Hollywood celebrities to get them to plug their "Ageless Care Health Products." G.I.Joe get to the bottom of the scam, and in the process some of the Joes are turned into octogenarians and some are turned into teenagers.

* indicates the character was silent during the episode
Like Q's radio in the James Bond film License to Kill (1989), which was built into a broom's handle, Flint radios the Joes via a similar device.
Producer Marty Goldblatt (who first seen in "Lights! Camera! Cobra!") appears in the episode moments before Flint and Sci Fi lead the elephants into a studio.
Before Zarana stole Madame Versaille's formula, she introduced herself
as Jezebelle, a name made infamous by a Phoenician princess known for idolatry
and wickedness. The name was also used in an insult by Lady Jaye in the
episode "Where
the Reptiles Roam." Also, considering her resort was like a chateau,
Madame Versaille's name may have been based upon the Chateau de Versailles
in France.

When Zarana hands Madame Versaille’s formula to Mainframe, the following
words are seen on the parchment:

The side of the truck has the company's name misspelled as "Accless Care" rather than "Ageless Care." |

In the first scene (top row), Dr. Mindbender's gloves do not appear in one
shot, but they were included in the next shot. And in the second scene (bottom
row), the gloves disappear between shots.
Brad Tinker's hair color was brown in the commercial yet blonde while on the football field.
The patch on Flint's berret is grey instead of red.
