Teamo Supremo

* Biff Barksdale
> In the episode "The Sinister Stylist", about eight minutes in, a trio of beauty
contestants is seen seated roped together on the stage by the eponymous villain
and her gang. At the end of the segment (this airing contained two eps), around
12 minutes in, she gets a taste of her own medicine at the end of Rope Girl's
lasso. The first scene lasts all of two seconds ... the second contains several
shots. Also, each show opening offers a glimpse of a woman attired in suit and
hat bound together with a number of nefarious male colleagues. 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (80s version)

* Lard 69909
** Grimbor
April gets tied up a lot, so many times I can't really remember a specific 
scene. And, Irma (who I like better than April) got captured once and was tied 
up with April over a vat of chocolate. And there was one episode where that 
kid Zach introduced to us a friend of his, a girl. Soon in that episode, two 
villians captured them and tied them up on chairs, barefoot, and began to 
tickle their feet.
> On an episode titled "April Fools Day" April is mistaken for a princess at a
costume ball, and is captured by Shedder. He gags her, and runs around with her
for about the last five minutes of the episode. There is another one which is
the first apperence of the Rat King in which he b&g April and takes her to his
lair in the sewers.
>> Shredder's New Sword
April and Irma interfere with Shredder's theft of Excalibur and get 
captured.  They're seen briefly sitting next to one another in wooden chairs 
in the Tower of London.  There are ropes around their upper bodies and 
April's ankles are tied.  Shortly afterwards Shredder unties them 
(offscreen) so they can watch as the Turtles & Merlin are tossed into the 
Thames Rives with ropes around them from shoulders to ankles and weights 
attached to their feet.  A few minutes later after the turtles save 
themselves April and Irma reappeared briefly tied up the same way the 
turtles were but without the weights as they become the prizes in a joust 
for possession of the sword.  When they're next seen they've already been 
freed.
"Turtle Tracks"
In the first episode April O Neil is grabbed and handgagged by three foot 
ninja robots while trying to use a phone booth.  The turtles follow the 
trail that's left and find April on a rooftop tied to a chair with a lot of 
rope around her upper body surrounded by foot ninjas..  No gag but she 
doesn't talk until the rescue scene and her feet are free.  After they've 
destroyed the robots the Turtles cut her free.
"The Incredible Shrinking Turtles"
April is grabbed by Shredder and Baxter Stockman and forced into a chair 
with manacles on the armrests. Once locked in place she's gagged and 
Shredder contacts the Turtles with April's communicator.  They can't see her 
and she's gagged but far from silent and Michelagelo says he recognises her 
mumbles.  After the Tutles escape Shredder's trap they track down April and 
Leonardo tells her to hold still and cuts the manacles off with his sword 
then April ungags herself.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)

* Grimbor
** Zorro
> "Lone Raph and Cub"
Raphael is helping Tyler, a kid on the run from the mob find his reporter 
mother.  With the turtle temporarily blinded by a flash grenade Tyler's 
leading the way and he spots his mother tied to a chair through the barred 
window of a warehouse.  Later, after Raphael has beaten the crap out of the 
Hulk sized mob boss, he picks the lock on a door with his Sai then gets out 
of the way as the door swings open to reveal Tyler's mom still tied to the 
chair.  Tyler dashes in and starts to untie her and one quick change of 
scene later they're running out of the room together.  Meanwhile Raphael 
regains his eyesight and makes sure the mobsters won't follow them. She's
tied to a chair with ropes around her torso with her hands behind her.  Her 
ankles are also tied.
>> "New Blood": This episode has a quick "blink and miss" scene, but towards
the middle of the episode, Karai, Shredder's female second-in-command, is
fighting three large andriod versions of herself, and one of them has a chain.
For a few seconds, the chain is wrapped around her arms, binding them to her,
and she is thrown to the ground. It only lasts a few seconds.
"Time Travails": Probably the best scene in the series so far. In it, the
time-travelling Renet has an adventure with the TMNT in England, circa 1406.
About halfway through the episode, she is captured by the villian, a satyr
named Salvanti Romano, and taken to his castle by his dragon. After the
Turtles go off to rescue her, we see her seated in a chair, bound rather well
to it. Her hands are behind her, and there are ropes around her arms, body,
thighs, and ankles. This scene runs for several minutes. The next time we
see her, she is still tied to the chair, but the ropework has gotten a lot
shoddier and now its just some turns of rope around her body in zig-zag
patterns. Leonardo quickly frees her, but so far this has been the longest
scene this season (and the second chairtie).

Teen Titans

* Biff Barksdale
** Grimbor
> "Sisters" (1.2)
Before the opening credits, kawaii Starfire (voiced by Hynden Walch) is
whisked off a ferris wheel by a flying pink octopus-like looking thingie
which wraps its tentacles around her upper body. After the credits, she
manages to free herself from its grasp.
About sixteen minutes in, another drone grabs her atop the roof of a
club, but this scene consists of a couple of blinkies shown mostly in
silhouette. 
After the gang bests a passel of them varmints, a pair of gendarmes from
another planet arrive and bind her with green glowy tubular bands. Her
arms are wrapped up, with her wrists pressed to her chest, and her mouth
is sealed, with resultant muffled vocalizing. It's a fairly lengthy
scene.
Finally, her sibling Blackfire (Walch again), the actual perp, is bound
in the same coils for her trip to the hoosegow, her arms pinned to her
sides. 
"Masks" (1.9)
About eight minutes in, the gang's adversary resorts to his "X marks the
spot" strategy, hurling a large red version that pins Starfires arms to
her sides, and a petite variety that seals Raven's lips.
After this quick scene, around 14 minutes in Raven's shown still gagged
back at the lair. She impatiently indicates that she'd like to be able
to speak again, and Cyborg indelicately does the honors, leaving her
lower face emblazoned with a cross across it and her upper visage
displaying a smoldering glare. 
"Mad Mod" (1.10)
At the very beginning, Starfire, Raven and the guys are clamped into
high-backed chairs for their "school day" at Mad Mod's lair. Their
wrists are secured to the chair arms, and their legs to the legs of the
chairs.
Star is later freed by Robin. Raven shows up later unrestrained. About
16 minutes in, Raven is briefly shown with her arms pinned by Beast Boy's
tentacles in his octopus form. Soon after, Star gets her arms clamped
and spread apart in a quick scene. Finally, all but Robin end up back
where they started, chairbound, until the Boy Wonder short-circuits the
villain's power supply and they're able to bust out of their bonds.
"Fear Itself" (2.5)
About three minutes in, Raven (voiced by Tara Strong) has her arms
pinned to her sides by a string of video cassettes under the sway of
Control Freak (a fanboy type who can make the inanimate dangerously
mobile). Shortly after, Starfire (Hynden Walch) is similarly fettered by
oversized video cables.
In this same scene, which lasts about three minutes, Raven is later
enwraptured with videotape, fully mummying her for a couple of seconds
before she magicks out of her predicament. Meanwhile, Robin bops the
cable creature and releases Star.
Around 14 minutes in, another grabby monstrosity takes a hands-on
approach with Star. Finally Beast Boy, experiencing an anxiety attack,
morphs into an octopus and likewise gives both Star and Raven a hand, or
rather, a tentacle, for thirty frames or so.
The sequence ends about 16 minutes in. 
"Bunny Raven, or ... How to Make a Titanimal Disappear" (3.11)
At the very beginning, The Amazing Mumbo is in the process of robbing a
bank. Having secured all in attendance, he toys with a female teller, at
one point pulling a coin from her ear, who's bound with ropes or some
other agent around her upper torso and gagged snugly over the nose.
During this scene one and possibly two other female 
employees/customers are seen in the background bound hands behind but
not gagged.
Mumbo also briefly pins Raven's arms and legs with bands of some sort.
About seven minutes in, Starfire's legs are thoroughly wrapped in chains
attached to a heavy weight, again briefly.
>> "The Sum of His Parts"
Mumbo the Magician makes his cane magically extend and hook Starfire then 
casts a spell to lock her into a floating magic cabinet with only her head
and feet unenclosed so he can attempt to saw her in half.  Since he says
he no idea how to do it properly it's a good thing cyborg interupts him.
"Aftershock part 2"
Terra is lassoed by Robin and hauled off her floating
rock.  She gets loose from them but the rest of the
Titans keep pounding on her.
"Deception"
Jinx gets grabbed by metal tentacles in  HIVE
Academy's testing rooms along with Gizmo & Mammoth and
is about to be zapped until Stone (a disguised Cyborg)
severs the tentacles from their bases.  They're left
lying helpless on the floor still wrapped in the coils
but Stone unwraps them so they can complete the team
exercise. 
"X"
During the first fight with the new Red X he pins
Starfire to the wall with an X but while she can't get
free she zaps him with her eyebeams.  During their
second battle he uses an X to bind Raven back to back
with Beast Boy who's in the form of a rhino.  He
changes back after Raven complains about having her
head stuck next to a rhino's butt but they're still
stuck together.  Later Raven is glued to a wall by a
red spray that covers her totally as a mad scientist
takes advantage of Robin and Red X's duel to collect
the other Titans.  We see them later coated with a
white substance that makes them into statues and
sealed inside transparent tubes.  Starfire manages to
break the coating covering her head but her body's
still immobilized and she can't get out of the tube. 
Like the rest of the Titans she's helpless as the
scientist begins shooting up his lab to try and take
out Robin and Red X though Robin eventually frees them
all off camera. 
"Titans East part 2"
Bumblebee and the other East Coast Titans are seen strapped
to lab tables as Brother Blood prepares to attempt to turn 
them into cyborgs with the survivors programmed to obey
him.  They aren't struggling since they're under his mind 
control but Bumblebee begins to shake it off so Brother Blood
uses his hypnotic gaze on her again and she asks him to proceed
with the operation.  The West Coast Titans break into the lab 
and Blood frees "his" Titans to battle them.  Near the end of the
show Blood's mental powers are holding everyone except Cyborg
immobilized and floatinging overhead.  After Cyborg defeats him 
they're all freed. 
>"Mother Mae-Eye" (4.11)
About 17' in, Starfire's (voiced by Hynden Walch) enwrapped in red
ribbon for about a minute, with a couple of blinky shots of her gagged
with a bar of soap.
Around the 25' mark, she and Raven (Tara Strong) are encircled with
thick red yarn (?) around their upper torsi. Shortly after, they're
shown very briefly entangled in "Mother's" knitting.
>>"The End"
In part 1 of this 3 part season finale Starfire is briefly bound and
gagged by a fire deomon's flaming tentacles before blasting free.  In
part 2 the manifestation of her dark side holds her arms behind her
back painfully as she brags how Robin will now be hers.  This energises
Starfire to break free and boot her evil self into the ground. 

Tenchi Muyo

* Austin 899
** Biff Barksdale
> Ayeka and Ryoko are always fighting over Tenchi.
They work together to make Mihoshi(who also has a crush on Tenchi)go back to
the Galaxy Police.  But then Ryoko double-crosses Ayeka. The space pirate ties
up the princess of Jurai.  Ayeka has rope wrapped from her shoulders to her
ankles. (But not completely covering her) She is detective gagged and her own
hair is used as a makeshift cleave gag.
>> In the episode: "No Need for Partners", Ryoko is bound in thin light bands
by Kiyone around 15 minutes in.
In episode 24 "No Need for Ryoko", Ryoko's arms and legs are briefly ensnared
by tubular bands at around 20 minutes in. 
In episode 17 "Drifting Away", Ryoko is grabbed by the tentacle-like restraints
of several Galaxy Police robots. She breaks free, but is then held on the ground
by a slew of 'bots. Around 15 minutes in, if I recall correctly.
In episode 21 "Real Friends?", in the first few minutes, Washu quickly puts her
hand over Ayeka's mouth, resulting in a nice surprised expression. Around 20
minutes in, Yugi is ensnared in roots, and sealed in a crypt to end the
destruction her power has caused.
In episode 2 "Here Comes Ayeka", around 20 minutes in, Tenchi very briefly
puts her hand over Ayeka's mouth just after she awakens. About 23 minutes in,
Ryoko's snared and suspended in vines. Bonus: Before these scenes (possibly
between 5 and 15 minutes in), Ryoko's restrained for a bit by some form of
invisible energy from Ayeka's ship. Her upper arms are pinned to her sides, legs
together. Nice imagery.
In episode 5 "Kagato Attacks!", Kagato imprisons Ryoko in a giant hourglass.
She's covered in its blue sand up to her shoulders. The scene ends around 27
minutes in... I'd guess it begins in the last quarterhour.

The Batman (2004-2005) - see "Batman (2004)"

Thundarr the Barbarian

* Bob Nielsen
** Terakonn
*** Grimbor
> HOW can you ignore(or, maybe nobody has been smart enough to send anything)
two of the greatest cartoons for captures in the '80s?!?  "Thundarr the
Barbarian," with sexy space princess Ariel(SP?) - there was this one episode
where Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla were chasing this vampire spider creature,
and it shot its webbing at Ariel just as she was about to cast a spell, of
course binding her wrists and rendering her powerless until she figured out
how to break the bonds.  Then, later, as they searched for the spider vampire,
it shoots a webline down, wrapping around Ariel's waist, then hoisting her up.
Ariel got bound a LOT in that show.  I only thought it should've been more,
because it shouldn't have taken a rocket scientist to figure out that if
Ariel's wrists were bound, she was helpless.  Oh, well.
>> In the Thundarr episode with the web-spinning spider creature, when it sends
down a loop of webbing to wrap aroun Ariel's waist, & pulls her up, it
completely coccoons her, & Thundarr & Ookla chase it for quite a while, with
Ariel slung over it's back. She is later shown stored in it's lair, among
other coccoons, & she somehow manages to use her magic to disintegrate the
coccoon. Earlier, there is a quick scene with a young woman in a heavy
parka, ambushed by the creature, & quickly wrapped in webbing.
>>> The spider episode is entitled "The Stalker from the Stars"
Another episode worth noting is
"Valley Of the Man Apes"
Ariel, Thundar and Ookla are tied to stakes by the Man Apes who leave them 
as food for a fire breathing dragon.  Thundarr and Ookla break free and 
leave Ariel tied to her stake while they fight the dragon which doesn't 
surprise the long suffering princess too much.  Fortunately Ookla remembers 
her and lets her loose a bit later.
"Island Of the Sorcerer"
Since Ariel can't perform magic when her wrists are bound it was a fairly 
common occurance on this show.
In this episode 3 sailors Thundarr, Ariel and Ookla have befriended are 
transformed into frog creatures by the Sorceress Sersee.  One of whom uses 
his very long tongue to bind Ariel's wrists together when she raises them to 
cast a spell then carries her off into Sersee's castle.  Inside a dungeon 
Ariel hangs by her wrists inside a metal hoopl while the aged sorceress 
Sersee plots to take over her body and succeeds.  When Thundarr arrives to 
free Ariel it's actually Sersee in Ariel's body he rescues.  Fortunately he 
ignores "Ariel's" call to destroy Sersee since he needs to make her 
transform the sailors back and she escapes so she can switch her mind back 
to her own body just before the closing credits
"Last Train To Doomsday"
Gemini's magic makes a chain wrap around Ariel and
Okla binding them back to back.  It then begins
dragging them into an ancient carwash which has been
magically transformed into a death trap because the
water jets now shoot flames.  After a no holds barred
battle with their greatest enemy Thundarr is able to
drive him off and douse the flames in the nick of
time.

The Tick
* Grimbor
> In the episode "Bloomsday" visiting botanist Professot Ichibana is tied to a 
wooden chair with vines under the control of El Seed.  She is initially 
gagged by a large leaf wrapped over her mouth but later on El Seed removes 
it so he can kill time talking to her while waiting for his minions.  Once 
they're back he leaves the professor tied to the chair with a fast growing 
woman eating plant sprouting.  Fortunately the Tick arrives before she gets 
too chewed and rescues her.
In "The Tick vs Pineapple Pokopo" patriotic superheroine American Maid is 
clamped into a metal band and lowered towards a pool full of sharks.  Thanks 
to some well timed leg swings she avoids the hungry fish until the Tick 
"Hangs 10 for Justice!" and arrives in the nick of time.

Tico of the Seven Seas AKA Tico and Friends

Main character Nanami, a girl, is taken away by two men while her hands are
bound behind her and she is gagged. She is thrown into a prison cell while
still tied, but manages to get into a sitting position whereupon she reaches
up with her bare foot to pull her gag down. She then stands up and leans down
so the whistle she is wearing around her neck could come within reach. She
then blows the whistle with her hands still tied.

Tiny Toon Adventures

Since there is one human girl in this (Elmyra), I just wanted to mention that 
occasionally, since she is obsessed with animals, that the animals sometimes 
have to tie her up in order to escape from her. There was one scene in which 
she was tied up lying on her stomach by Buster Bunny while he tried to get 
away from this animal-loving freak. All the time, Elmyra just whined that her 
bunny got away and didn't bother to try and free herself. Someone else added
that Babs Bunny is tied up all the time, but I forget who told me that.
Besides, I already knew that, I just wanted to list mostly humans.

Todd McFarlane's Spawn

* Lard 69909
> In one episode Spawn's ex-wife's daughter is kidnapped by the mob, then only to
be re-kidnapped by child-killer Billy Kincad. The whole time she has her hands tied
behind her, and blindfolded. Later, she has a gag added with the blindfold. Then in
the climatic car chase she is in the back of an ice cream truck, minus the blindfold
and only gagged. Lots of MMMMPPHH-ing there.

Tom Slick

In one episode, Marigold was captured by Baron Automatic and tied to railroad
tracks (arms at sides). Tom managed to avoid hitting her. In another, Marigold
got captured again and was tied up with the ropes of some parachute belonging
to the opponent's hot air balloon.

Totally Spies

* Biff Barksdale
** Grimbor
> In the episode "Stuck in the Middle Ages With You", at around 12
minutes in, Sam and Alex are netted, then shown chained by their wrists
in a dungeon. They free themselves with gadgets after the commercial
break. At about 17 minutes in, Clover is seated in a high-backed chair
with her wrists clamped to the arms and her neck chained to the back of
the chair. Around 21 minutes in, Clover, in a medieval gown, is chained
arms apart. Around 24 minutes in, Sam covers Alex's mouth to quiet her
as guards pass by. Just after, they free Clover. Whew... that's a full
workin' day, lad. And don't you forget it.
In the episode "The Eraser", the spies are restrained rather
imaginatively with metal fetters which loop above their elbows and under
their knees, with a link to the collars 'round their necks ... such that
they're seated hunched over on the floor, around 21 minutes in.
Continuity problems are an annoyance ... sometimes the collars are there,
sometimes they aren't, Alex has hers on in one shot while Sam and Clover
are bare-necked, the links don't show until the last shots...
In the episode "The Fugitives", about two minutes in, Clover has a quick
mental image of Mandy wrapped in rope on the train tracks (she's vexed,
you see). Around 21 minutes in, Alex is briefly has a hand placed over
her mouth, and Sam is grabbed... then they are restrained wrists behind
for about two minutes, until the commercial break.
In the episode "Abductions", Alex is captured by the bad people and seen
about 19 minutes in suspended upside down in a cylinder, her hands behind
and presumably bound. The cylinder fills with some sort of goop, covering
her upper torso, before the other girls arrive in rescue mode.
In the episode "Silicon Valley Girls", all three girls are grabbed and
held by metal tentacles, arms pinned, around 27 minutes in.
In the episode "Queen for a Day", Clover is impersonating an Arabian
queen who's the target of a kidnapper, and taken instead.  Around 13 
minutes in, she's heard yelling as she's abducted just before the break.
When the episode resumes, we see her being carried off over the shoulder
of an evil minion. A couple of minutes later, she's seen stashed in a
crate, wrists bound behind and animé-style overnosegagged.  The gag's
removed rather quickly, but she remains restrained until the others come
to her rescue around 21 minutes in.
In the episode "Shrinking", a downsized Clover's captured by baddies and
clamped to a wall, the shackle around her shrunken upper torso.  This
pops about 20 minutes in. The others find themselves similarly situated
about a minute later, although in full size and sitting (Clover's
standing). Clover frees herself with a hidden laser thingie around a
minute after Alex and Sam are fettered, and frees her compatriots.
In the episode "Aliens", around two minutes in, the girls are grabbed
around their torsi by tentacled claws rising from a car engine and
transported to HQ to meet with Jerry. Seconds-long scene. Around 22
minutes in, Alex is cuffed for a few seconds before picking the lock.
In the episode "Wild Style", about two minutes in, the spies are dumped
into a sort of roller coaster car rocketing to HQ. The bar across their
chests keeps 'em nice and secure 'til they reach their destination.
At around 18 minutes in, Sam puts her hand on Alex's mouth twice within
about a minute. Soon after, all three are netted. Alex and Sam are then
suspended by their wrists face-to-face. They manage to escape, but end
up recaptured and bound back-to-back by rope 'round their lower torsi
about 26 minutes in.
In the episode "Spy Vs. Spy", around 20 minutes in, the girls are shown
bound arms-to-sides in a giant mechanical spider's web. A relatively
lengthly scene which ends in a brief cocooning, which doesn't fit the
girls' forms exactly. A few minutes later, Alex gets tangled up (again
arms to sides) in some less imposing webbing fired from a weapon, and
ends up hanging upside down. Finally, a trio of young women who were
being mind-controlled into baddiness are bound seated
back-to-back-to-back by cord in a brief scene. 
In the episode "Evil Boyfriend", all three spies are initially trapped
in nets, their arms pulled behind them, at around five minutes in.
They're brought before the head baddie still held but netless right
after. The sequence lasts a minute or so. Around the 26' mark, Sam and
Clover are mistakenly arrested by Secret Service agents at the White
House. They're cuffed (presumably) back-to-back and seated on a hallway
carpet. The scene lasts less than a minute. 
In the episode "A Spy Is Born", right at the tail end of this ep, Sam
and Clover wonder about Alex's whereabouts. When they check the visual
communicator, they're confronted with the image of her bound to a chair.
The device is then crushed under the heel of her unseen captor.
In the episode "Passion Patties", about two minutes in, Clover has a
quick (couple of seconds) vision of Mandy, her high school antagonist,
bound to a rocket and blasted into the wild blue. Around the 20' mark,
the girls are shown strapped into reclining seats (one strap over their
arms and below their chests) and force fed the addictive cookies the
villain is using to take over the world, or whatEVER. Clover has been
hooked for a while, and her waistline shows it. The scene lasts a couple
of minutes or so.
In the episode "Soul Collector", about 17 minutes in, Alex is grabbed by
the arm and pulled "off camera", later to be seen slung over a baddie's
shoulder in an un- or semiconscious state. Sam and Clover are grabbed
soon after. Sam is hugged from behind, and Clover is shoulder-carried.
The diabolical deathtrap scene follows.  Something involving a giant
gemstone. All three are bound wrists behind and suspended in a
gravity-defying manner.  The suspension rope is attached to their
wrists, yet they remain upright. A literal definition of a suspension
of disbelief. Sam has a Swiss army knife in the heel of her boot,
naturally, and cuts Clover's bonds.  The trio descend comically, and we
it ends around 22 minutes in.
In the episode "Do You Believe in Magic?", in the course of battling Mr.
Evil Magician Guy (or whatEVER), Alex is captured (not shown). She *is*
shown chained arms apart and blindfolded in a dungeon cell at around 
19 minutes in. Sam and Clover free her, only to wind up in yet another
Diabolical Death Trap (TM). This time it's the old reliable Swinging
Blade Being Slowly Lowered (c), as the three lie chained on a slab below.
They escape in the Nick O' Time, thanks to some spy toy doohickey or
other, about 22 minutes in.
In the episode "Ice Man Cometh", around 20 minutes in, the girls are
shown held by Evil Minions, their wrists pulled behind their backs. A
relatively lengthy scene.
In the episode "Man or Machine", a couple of cuffed scenes:
About two minutes in, the girls are manacled wrists behind by a mall
security guard after Mandy accuses them of skating and littering. They're
in rollerblading attire. This scene lasts about a half-minute, ending when
they're spirited away to WHOOP HQ for their briefing with Jerry. Around
17 minutes in, the villain du jour cuffs them in front and loads them into
a giant top ride in an amusement park. After fifteen rotations all go boom.
Lipstick gizmo saves the day. The sequence runs for approximately three
minutes. 
"Stark Raving Mad"
About 13 minutes in, the gang is grabbed by Sebastian's baddies at one of
his mind-controlling raves. Sam has her wrists bound by her own braided
hair, Alex has her baggy pants pulled up and the drawstring tied around
her neck, and Clover has her cap pulled down over her head (cartoon
suspension of disbelief required).
They are then carted off (literally) while bound with rope around their
torsos and ankles to serve as an audience for the villain's de rigueur
explanation of his fiendish plan. The scene lasts a few minutes before
they are jettisoned from the setting.
Lastly, in a quick sequence, Clover, now in her spysuit and under the
nefarious influence of the music, has a pair of high-tech earmuffs
tossed at her by Jerry to counteract its effect, with the band effecting
an overgag. This comes in around 24 minutes in. (Grimbor gave another 
description of this episode in his section)
>> "I Want My Mummy"
Searching Egypt for a missing archeologist, while accompanied by his 
assistant Ian, Clover and Sam become separated from Alex and Ian.  
Encountering an underground tunneling machine they find it crammed with 
stolen artifacts along with the mummified Alex and Ian.  The wrappings don't 
cover from forehead to nose or fingertips.  As soon as they ungag them the 
missing archeologist appears revealing himself to be the villian of the day 
and activates his mummification machine to wrap up Sam and Clover.  Though 
we only actually see CLover getting wrapped. Everyone winds up all wrapped 
except for their faces and fingertips with their arms in the traditional 
mummy folded cross the chest posture.  After the commercial break we find 
all four outside in a sandpit while the archeologist explains he faked his 
own disappearance to steal an artifact which will combine with two others to 
give him absolute power, make him like unto a god, yadda, yadda, yadda.  He 
then leaves but not before staring a pipe that pours sand into the pit to 
bury everyone alive.  Fortunately Sam remembers their lipstick lasters which 
they can just reach and aim (remember the uncovered fingertips?) and fuse 
the sand into glass clogging the pipe.
With the immediate threat ended out heroes can wriggle free of their 
bindings.  How exactly they did that we'll never know since the scene cuts 
to everyone inside the archeologist's abandoned tunneling machine about to 
go into hot pursuit.
Almost forgot, at the start of the episode Mandy irks Clover and once again 
Clover has a revenge fantasy.  This time it's Mandy standing in front of a 
target with rope from her hips to her shoulders while Clover picks up a car 
and throws it at her in a "Hulk Smash!" moment.
"Mommies Dearest"
Tim Spin, the girls' enemy from "The New Jerry" breaks out of jail and 
brainwashes their mothers (who all look and act like older but not 
necessarily wiser versions of their daughters) while they're all staying at 
a health spa for Mothers Day.  After a few weird "accidents" (leading a 
brief shot of Clover's mother Stella tied up with a hairdryer cord) the 
girls realise their mothers are trying to kill them.  The girls are driven 
off the road and knocked unconscious in the crash by their mind controlled 
mothers.  Alex wakes up to find her mother bending over her and figures it 
was all a weird dream.  Then realises her hands are tied behind her back and 
that Alex and Sam are sitting on a nearby table tied the same way and 
guarded by their mothers.  Tim reveals himself and says that he's got used 
to having devoted servants so he's going to keep their mothers.  Then he 
orders their mothers to take Alex, Sanm and Clover for their last sauna and 
the mothers obey.  The scene then cuts to the girls locked in a sauna set 
for maximum heat but for some reason their hands are free.  Since they 
weren't on a mission they don't have any gadgets so they figure they're 
doomed but the bubblegum Alex picked up at WHOOP HQ saves them when the 
bubble expands enough to break down the walls.
"The Yuck Factor"
In this episode Jerry is literally mind controlled by a minaturised 
scientist residing in his brain.  Sam, Clover and Alex figure out something 
is wrong with Jerry but assume they're dealing with a guy in a mask so their 
attempts to pull off his face and unmask him convince the WHOOP agents that 
they're all nuts.  So no one thinks anything's wrong when agents controlled 
by the scientist's minions drag them away.  Cut to the lab with the 
shrinking machine where all three spies are sitting with their hands tied 
behind their backs.  The scientist gives them the usual rundown on his world 
domination plan then has mechanical arms deposit them under the shrinking 
ray so he can minaturise them and finish them off with test tubes full of 
bacteria.
As curved triangular segments of glass rise from the floor to form a dome 
around them Alex redeems herself for her squeamishness earlier in the 
episode with a gymnastic move that slides her hands down and over her legs, 
then with her hands now in front she cuts the wrist bonds on one of the 
rising dome segments.  She frees the others but the dome seals and the ray 
fires before they can escape.  However now Sam can use the lab computer as 
they shrink to get them a micro transport unit so they can take the battle 
to the scientist inside Jerry.  They win though the inside view of their 
boss is hard on the weak stomached Alex.
"It's How You Play The Game"
The girls discover the secret of the biological implants that are giving 
Zanzibar's team the Gold in every event of the Winter Olympics but blow 
their cover.  Captured by the evil team coach the girls sit roped together 
as he explains his nefarious plan for total olympic victory for Zanzibar 
(which is pretty low key compared to the world conquest and/or destruction 
plans they usually foil).  With his star skater suffering terminal 
side-effects from her implant he picks Clover as her replacement and gives 
her three of the buglike implants which crawl under her hair to enter via 
the ear (ick).  Incidentally Clover once again is the only one to suffer 
bizarre physical side-effects and bulks up from her implants.  The scene 
cuts to an outdoors scene, Sam and Alex are sitting in a dog sled with their 
hands tied behind their backs.  Clover is told that the dogs are trained to 
keep going until the coach radios a command so if she wants him to call the 
team back so her friends don't freeze in the Alps she'll co-operate.  Then 
the dogs  are sent on their way carrying Sam and Alex away.  Their attempts 
to distract the dogs fail but Sam tells Alex to use the credit card knife to 
cut their wrist bonds.  Unfortunately a bad bump sends the knife flying, 
cuts the dogs' traces and sends Sam and Alex skidding onto a lake covered 
with thin ice which cracks under them.  The girls seem headed for a watery 
grave but Alex frees herself and drags Sam back to the surface then unties 
her.  The pair split up, Alex to save Clover, Sam to save the dying skater.  
Needless to say both succeed.
"Here Comes The Sun"
The girls spend a minute or two tied to chairs aboard the yacht of 
megalomanical Sunblock 10,000 saleswoman Sunny Day while she regales them 
with her "use laser to destroy the ozone layer and boost sales" spiel.  
After a good gloat she orders her henchmen to get rid of the spies and the 
scene cuts to the goons leaving the girls in a sinking dingy with no oars in 
shark infested waters.  Curiously the bad guys have been nice enough to 
untie the girls so that they can plug the hole and make their escape by 
using the thrust from Sam's Hurricane 3000 Hairdrier to drive the boat.
"Boy Bands Will Be Boy Bands"
For a change it's Alex rather than Clover who has a revenge fantasy about 
Mandy.  Hurt at being called uncool "Cowgirl" Alex imagines roping and tying 
Mandy rodeo style.  Later after an encounter with a face swapping former 
boyband looking to replace the latest hot group (and why the heck couldn't 
the girls just punch out those four clowns?) they wind up sitting in a tour 
bus with their hands behind their backs.  But while the captive boyband 
members has very obvious ropes we have to assume that the girls are bound 
until just before they escape when there's a quick flash of Sam's tied 
wrists as she burns through the ropes with her lipstick laser.  Before that 
happens Clover gets a break since this time it's Alex who gets the latest 
weird physical morph as her face is swapped for an aging groupie's.  Then 
everyone's left on a runaway bus but they make the usual nick of time escape 
before it goes over a cliff.
"I, Dude"
The girls are captured by the beach bunny minions of The Dude, former surfer 
supreme turned tsunami creator.  Incidentally since they grabbed the girls 
in Antarctica and all the beach bunnies wear are these steel armour bikinis 
(which you don't usually see outside of pulp sci-fi covers and fantasy 
comics) those bunnies have remarkable cold tolerance.  Anyway having 
explained his nefarious plan to restore surfing to its glory days by wiping 
out all the beach resorts which are ruining the best surfing beaches The 
Dude has his bunnies strap the girls down under an ultra powerful sunlight 
to broil them to death.  Clover blasts the light with her explosive press-on 
nails and frees Sam and Alex.  Outnumbered by the beach bunnies the girls 
use their WOOHP issue super stick hair gel to glue the bunnies' feet to the 
deck of The Dude's sub then set out to stop the tidal wave heading for 
Venice Beach.  Needless to say they save Los Angeles and their favourite 
shopping malls.
"Alex Quits"
Because she's been blundering more than usual and because they've been 
joined by rookie WOOHP agent Britney on their latest mission Alex figures 
the writing is on the wall and quits before she can be fired.  Which means 
that it's Clover, Sam and Britney who get zapped with the molecular 
augmenter and shifted into slow motion making it easy for the speed obsessed 
villain to grab them.  The trio are tied back to back and left sitting 
across the room from a bomb that's set to blow in ten minutes.  Their feet 
are free and all they have to do is cross the room and push a button to 
disarm the explosive.  The problem is that in their molecularly slowed state 
they'll be lucky to get halfway there in ten minutes.  Fortunately Clover 
manages to signal Alex who rockets to the rescue and after interpreting what 
the slow motion trio are saying deactivates the bomb just before it blows.  
Thanks to a science make-up test she knows how to return the others to 
normal so the foursome can go catch the bad guys.  Incidentally Britney was 
only with the group to do the fieldwork that completes her training.  She 
was never intended to replace Alex and is sent off to her new posting once 
the day is saved.
"A Spy Is Born Part 2"
The show picks up where part 1 left off with Alex tied to a chair and being 
menaced by crazy film director, Luminere.  Alex tells him everyone will be 
looking for her and he says he's counting on it and gags her.
Meanwhile Sam and Clover arrive at WOOHP to report Alex's disappearance but 
Jerry has already received a message from Luminere in which he challenges 
the spies to find him by a series of rhyming clues if they want Alex back.  
As he talks the gagged Alex can be seen struggling and heard mmphing in the 
background.
Near the end of the show they find Alex sitting on a chair with her hands 
tied behind her.  She's no longer gagged but can't speak because the chair 
is balanced precariously on a ledge at WOOPH HQ and the only thing keeping 
her from toppling backwards is the rope held clenched between her teeth.  
Sam and Clover realise Alex can't hold on much longer but if they open the 
door the rope is attached to it'll swing outward and soon as the rope goes 
slack Alex falls off the building.  With no time to find another way they 
decide to rush the doorway and grab the rope hoping Alex can hold on until 
they pull her back from the brink.  It works except the rope has been 
gimmicked and breaks.  Alex plunges backwards and Sam and Clover follow her 
down.  They manage to catch up to her then the scene cuts to Jerry dashing 
down the side(!) of the building so he can leap into Luminere's helicopter 
and overpower his pilot.  While this has been happening the girls have 
untied Alex and equipped her with an inflatable crash suit so everyone 
survives the fall and Alex's movie career is over.
"W.O.W."
Brief scene of two female wrestlers with their arms tied to their sides by 
Clover's climbing rope.
"Stark Raving Mad"
Curious about the fact that they're the only ones at school not being 
invited to the new raves which are trashing their favourite hangouts the 
girls put on rave gear and crash the mall rave.  At which point they find 
out the drawbacks of rave fashion as Sam's wrists are tied by her new 
braids, Alex winds up bagged to the neck by her new baggy pants and Clover 
is blinded by her toque.  The girls are trussed up more conventionally and 
dumped in a shopping cart which is pushed into an elevator where it 
overbalances as the doors open and they find themselves facing their old 
enemy Sebastian (from "A Thing For Musicians").  It seems having broken out 
of jail he's decided to put world domination on the backburner while he uses 
his mind control technology for personal revenge on the spies.    He gives 
them a quick rundown on his plans which have been using their classmates to 
destroy every place they care about though his Hyper Raves.  Then he 
triggers a a giant spring underneath them and the girls go flying.  Don't 
ask me how but this somehow causes their bonds to disappear in midair so 
they all crashland free.  Realising their school is the next target they 
head there to stop Sebastian but get zapped by the mind control music.  
Fortunately Jerry arrives with headphones that neutralise it and manages to 
get them on all three rampaging spies.  There's a brief shot of Clover 
gagged by the headphone band and that's it for this episode scenewise.
"Starstruck"
Sam, Alex and Clover wind up shackled by their ankles and hanging upside 
down after they sweet-talk Jerry into sending them on an unofficial mission 
to search for the missing hunky heart throb of their favourite soap, "Spies 
of Our Lives."  It turns out that he was kidnapped by a demented fan of the 
show who believes that it's real and he needs to be saved since he's been 
brainwashed into believing he's just an actor.  Unfortunately since Clover's 
undercover role on the show is the main villain's daughter that makes them 
the fan's enemies.
While the girls were handling this situation with professional calm that 
ends when they realise that they're hanging upside down over a pool of 
piranha fish.  As they start to lower towards the pool Clover protests and 
is told that since she's the daughter of the arch fiend she deservers 
something worse and waldos strap her to a table for a Goldfinger style slow 
slicing apart by a laser.  The fan leaves to wipe out the rest of the show's 
villains and since this is an unofficial mission the girls are short on 
gadgets to use for escape.  Sam gets the idea of Clover nodding hard enough 
to throw her mirrored sunglasses into the laser to temporarily deflect the 
beam.  Clover's reluctant because of how much they cost but the approaching 
laser convinces her and the deflected beam slices through Alex and Sam's 
ankle ropes.  Some fast gymnastics by Alex keep her and Sam from falling 
into the piranha pool then they manage to turn off the laser in the nick of 
time and free Clover.  After that they save the day again but the chaos they 
cause on the set means Clover's part is written out so she's still waiting 
for her big showbusiness break.
"S.P.I."
Suspicious about the super efficient Special Protectional International 
group which has driven WOOHP out of business Sam infiltrates their 
headquarters.  She finds the evidence but can't convince Clover and Alex 
that it's not sour grapes at which point the ceiling tiles give way under 
her and she crashes into a bad guy's board meeting.  Clover and Alex drop by 
SPI HQ looking for Sam and spot her comm-pact just after the boss claims 
never to have seen her.  Realising she is exposed she has her minions expose 
Clover and Alex by using a clothing shrinking ray on them.  All three spies 
(Sam the only one in uniform) are next seen tied to the chairs in a G Force 
simulator.  A pretty lame tying job since their hands are freed so even with 
the G forces Alex is able to get out and aim her laser lipstick (When WOOPH 
shut down Jerry let them keep their gadgets as souvenirs) knocking out the 
simulator's control panel.  The spies successfully board the villainesses 
plane and Sam ties her to the pilot's seat with the belt then heasd out onto 
the hull to fight her minions.  They win but the plane goes into a crash 
dive as the villainess decides better death than prison and uses her feet to 
shove the contol yoke forward.  They subdue her but can't pull out of the 
dive but a giant net from a revived WOOPH helicopter catches them without 
any ill effects.  Which may be impossible but as Sam observed earlier in the 
episode, "Ever notice the ways we get WOOPHed sometimes violate the laws of 
physics?"
"Animal World"
Brief blink and you'll miss it shot of Alex getting wrapped up in her own 
rope after a failed attempt to lasso a lion on a moped.  No, I'm not going 
to explain that.
"Evil Hair Salon"
The show opens with a red-head taking a free treatment at a hair salon 
during which shackles lock her wrists and ankles to the chair.  The title 
screen means we don't find out what happened to her until Clover takes the 
same treatment.  After the customers are manacled to their chairs the chairs 
drop through trapdoors onto a tunnel with train tracks.  The chairs now have 
wheels and are linked together like train carriages as they rush off down 
the tracks.  After their rescue attempt fails Sam and Alex trace the missing 
girls to London where they find they're now strapped to bulky wheelchairs 
with fluid filled glass tanks on the back into which their hair trails.  
These tanks are accelerating hair growth so that the mad scientist/wig maker 
can harvest all the genuine human hair she needs.  The process is having a 
life draining effect on the "donors" and CLover's not looking good.  Sam and 
Alex wind up strapped to their own wheelchairs but Alex's hair is too short 
to reach the tank so she retains her faculties and is able to trigger a 
lockpick built into spy suit's heel.  Meanwhile the chairs and the victims 
have been taken to the harvesting machine on the top floor.  After freeing 
herself and picking the locks on Sam's straps ALex and Sam set out to rescue 
Clover.  But they wind up outside and after their grappels fail to grab onto 
the building Clover has to play Rapunzel so they can climb up her ten story 
long hair.  Which looks rather painful.  Anyway to create the diversion 
Clover needs to do this she asks the red-head who got abducted at the start 
to help her save everyone.  Which she does by somehow gettting free of her 
chair so that the wig makers goons have to grab her and ignore Clover.  How 
she was able to free herself without gimmicks, training and while half dead 
from the hair growth treatment remains one of the show's many mysteries.
"Zooney World"
Things go wrong after the spies infilitrate the underground headquarters of 
the Zooney World movement and run into an army of brainwashed kids.  Shot by 
a tank's taffy cannon first Clover then Sam and Alex wind up glued to the 
walls and easy prey for the kids.  We next see the Spies tied to posts on a 
firing range about to be hosed until they've swallowed enough water to 
"explode".  At least that's how the young commander of the Zoonies phrases 
it.  Fortunately Alex has held onto her Ice Queen perfume and uses it to 
freeze the ropes around her wrists then break the now brittle bonds.  She 
frees her ankles then releases Sam and Clover.  They then use the supercold 
perfume spray to freeze and shatter the metal headbands the kids wear to 
keep them brainwashed without ill effects on the children proving that once 
again WOOHP's technology is superior to the physics of heat transfer.
"First Brat"
The girls get stuck babysitting Madison, the 11 year old daughter of the 
American President while Jerry's off on a fishing trip with her daddy to 
talk about a job in the White House.  Problem is that Madison turns into a 
real brat when her father's not around and the media's not watching her.  So 
Sam and Clover are quite happy to let her lock herself in her room and if it 
hadn't been for Alex's sympathy for her growing up in the spotlight making 
her turn bratty they wouldn't have tried to get in and would have completely 
missed her kidnapping.  Madison is carried off by a giant robot spider 
strapped to its underside by metal bands.  It escapes the White House 
grounds with no one except the girls seeing it so they're the only ones who 
know she's been kidnapped and they decide to keep it that way since their 
failure to watch her would destroy Jerry's hopes of a presidential 
appointment.  A ransom note arrives via Madison's computer and she's seen 
briefly with her hands tied behind her.  The girls head for the Washington 
Monument where the kidnapper shows them a monitor displaying Madison sitting 
in a closet gagged and with her hands tied behind her.  When the kidnapper 
realises the girls are bluffing and haven't brought the imprisoned mad 
scientist to exchange for Madison she grabs the girl from the storage closet 
and flies off with her via jetpack.  The girls track Madison and the 
kidnapper to her usual nanny's house (she called in sick) only to discover 
that she's the kidnapper and the mad scientist she wants released is her 
husband.  The girls get locked in a cage whose bars sprout spikes and as it 
begins to shrink.  Madison (now ungagged) protests and is gagged again and 
carried off so she can be used to threaten her father in person.  The spies 
escape and steal the nanny's helicopter arriving just after the kidnappers 
arrive by boat and lower the bound and gagged Madison into the lake water to 
her neck and threaten to drop her if her daddy doesn't stop fishing and free 
the scientist.  With her sons captured by Sam and Alex the wife flees with 
Madison by speedboat but Clover drops in and punches her out.  Unfortunately 
Clover's wrong in thinking she's knocked out and winds up with her arms 
pinned to her sides by a life ring.  But an expert cast by Jerry lands the 
wife and makes her the catch of the day.  The show ends with the spies 
getting honoured in the White House in front of the press which you'd figure 
would blow their covers but they're still secret agents in the later 
episodes so you have to figure nobody they know watches the news.
"Nature Nightmare"
The Spies encounter genetically engineered trees that grab people with their 
roots then weave them into cocoons to feed on them.  Alex gets separated 
from the others and grabbed, cocooned and eventually freed off screen but 
Sam and Clover get onscreen cocooning.  First though Clover is grabbed by 
the roots and nearly pulled through the window of the house they've 
retreated into until the flame sensitive roots are scared off by Wade (the 
guy/reporter whose disappearance they were investigating) and his matches.  
After retreating downstairs and discovering the lab of Dr. Rasputin Zero, 
the conservationist who gave the forest the power to fight back, Sam, Clover 
and Wade are grabbed by roots and cocooned.  But Clover manages to keep an 
arm free and uses her buzzsaw barrette to cut her own cocoon down.  The 
impact cracks it open and she cuts down the other two.  Wade stays behind to 
hold off the roots while the girls head off to save Alex and the other 
victims from the Queen Tree.
"Ski Trip"
Dr. Gelee, who tried to freeze the world in "The Iceman Cometh" and selected 
Clover to be his Ice Queen, returns but grabs Mandy by mistake (hand gag 
scene).  Once he realises she isn't Clover he uses her as bait and the Spies 
reluctantly set off to save Mandy.  They find her tied to a chair in a 
remote cabin (wrists tied to chairback, legs free) but once they step inside 
they find their feet frozen to the floor by Gelee's icetrap.  Gelee appears, 
steals their gadget filled backpacks and explains that the heavy duty 
snowmakers about to fire on the cabin will bury them alive and if they 
survive that they'll quickly freeze.  Fortunately Clover palmed her laser 
lipstick before Gelee took their packs so she's able to melt the spies free 
and cut Mandy's ropes so everyone escapes the cabin in the nick of time.
"Fashion Faux Pas"
Trying to track down their old enemy Helga Von Guggan (from "Wild Style") 
the spies fall into a trap and wind up standing with their hands cuffed to a 
an overhead pipe.  All three are wearing their spy suits and Mystique 
fashion accessories which they tried on and can't remove (Clover has a 
stole, Sam a hat and Alex boots).  Helga reveals that she created the 
Mystique logo to get revenge on the fashion world for abandoning her after 
that human fur coats scheme.  Mystique wear cannot be removed and on command 
will begin to shrink crushing the wearer.  Helga activates the Spies 
accessories then heads off to do a live TV show in which she will revael 
herself as the inventor of Mystique and activate all her fashions.  In a 
move surprisingly clever for an evil genius she leaves her sidekick behind 
to watch the Spies and make sure they don't escape before they get squished. 
  Luckily Clover manages to distract him and Sam uses a gadget to free 
herself and disable him then free the others.  The spies then escape Helga's 
HQ and manage to save themselves and the studio audience from Helga's 
revenge.
"Toying Around"
A toy designer's AI equipped war toys decide to emulate the movie "Small 
Soldiers" and steal more AI chips and other war toys to expand their army as 
the first step in world conquest.  They outdo the movie by taking three 
female hostages (namely Sam, Clover and Alex) along with their designer who 
was trying to stop their rampage.  The soldiers string them up above land 
mines and leave them while they head off to take over the United Countries 
Building as the next stage in their plan.  The foursome manages to swing to 
a platform and dislodge the rope but the platform collapse dropping them in 
the mine field.  Luckily no one lands on a mine and they tiptoe out of the 
minefield just in time.  The spies head off to the UC to find the toys tying 
gagged male and female delegates to their chairs (we don't see too many of 
them).  While Sam and Clover battle the toys Alex frees the delegates.  
Eventually Sam gets the bright idea of burning out the Toys AI chips with 
one of the gadgets Jerry gave them back at the start of the show.
"Physics 101 Much?"
Captured by the gravity manipulating Major Snell who is bitter about
having been abandoned in space for 20 years the girls are tied to the
three rockets of the satellite he's launching to bombard the earth
with his anti gravity beam. Evidentally the rockets have great
insulation so no heat reaches the spies or the ropes so neither
burns but the G-forces and lack of air are sure to be lethal. Sam's
able to bend so that her ropes get the full brunt of the air friction
and burn through. Once she falls free she activates her jet pack and
flies back to free Alex who then frees Clover. 
"Evil Coffee Shop Much?"
Clover, Alex & temporary team member Mandy (wearing a
purple spy suit) wind up tied back to back (by ropes
around their waists binding their arms to their sides)
and being lowered into a giant vat of coffee.  While
Mandy just complains a lot Clover and Alex manage to
save the day by swinging their legs so they swing to
the side of the vat and Clover grabs onto a girder
with her legs.  The other girls then trigger the
repulsion feature of Mandy's suit (used to clean off
their own costumes earlier in the show) blasting her
away (to a comedic crash in a huge pile of coffee
grounds) and breaking the ropes.
"Forward To The Past"
Having travelled back to 1975 the spies are caught by
one of young Jerry's prototype WOOHP gadgets, an 8
track tapeplayer that fires a tape reel that binds
them back to back by wrapping them from waist to
chest.  Once Jerry's left BG, the disco crazed time
traveller, hauls them up to dangle below a giant disco
ball then explains his evil plan to rewrite history
before lowering them to suffocate in the world's
thickest shag rug carpet.  Fortunately Alex grabbed
Jerry's mini nuke mood ring though her attempt to cut
them free slices the rope they're dangling from and
drops them into the carpet. Luckily she's able to
blast the carpet from the inside and explode it which
looks a bit painful but is survivable.    
"Super Nerd Much?"
Sam & Alex are knocked out by former class nerd Arnold
who thanks to a magic ring can absorb coolness.  When
they wake up they're stuffed into giant bags with only
their heads free that Arnold calls super pocket
protectors.  The already nerdified Clover is also
stuck in one of the bags as Arnold uses the ring to
absorb Sam & Alex's coolness.  While he heads off to
drain Beverly Hills the nerdified girls escape when
Sam uses her nailfile to cut herself free.
"The Incredible Bulk"
Thrown backwards by an accelerating moving floor the
girls find themselves pinned inside upright weight
benches.  After the evil bodybuilder reveals his evil
plan to bulk up his competitors to the exploding point
he tells them they're in for the same fate and clamps
pull their mouths open so a robot can begin stuffing
the doctored bulk-up bars inside.  Fortunately the
girls have been exercising their smile muscles and are
able to pull the clamps hard enough to break them
which causes the whole mechanism to short out thus
freeing them.  
"Dental, More Like Mental"
At approximately the 17 minute mark Clover and Alex are netted in
midair by the mad dentist as they try to flee from the brainwashed Sam
(she was dragged away by a brainwashed nurse with fangs at about the
12 minute mark and now has a smile so bright it causes blindness) and
his other dentally mutated minions. The scenes cuts to the dentist's
lab with Alex and Clover sitting on the floor, their ankles tied and
their hands bound behind them by ropes from waist to chest. Both have
cloth gags across their mouths but without packing inside so they're
muffled but not silenced. The dentist explains his evil plan then
leaves Sam to deal with them. She starts by shooting Alex with an
anesthetic prior to dental surgery which kills the pain of her
toothache so she becomes clearheaded enough to palm the laser
nailfile, slice her ropes and knock Sam out. She picks up a rope and
leans down as we go to commercial at the 18 minute mark. Back from
commercial we find Alex is just finishing tying the unconscious Sam
the same way she was tied minus the gag and in the background the
still bound and gagged Clover is protesting about Alex dealing with
Sam before freeing her. Alex cuts her free and they contact Jerry who
sends them an antidote to the brainwashing gas. The gas revives Sam
who asks, "Where am I? What happened? And more importantly WHY AM I
HOGTIED ON THIS NASTY, DIRTY FLOOR?!" So they cut her loose and go
after the dentist.
"Escape From WOOHP Island"
The girls are sent to WOOHP's prison island to retrieve Brittney
(Alex's temp replacement from "Alex Quits") who crashlanded there
before the island explodes. At approximately the 13 minute mark the
girls get netted and the scene cuts to them strapped to operating
tables in a mad plastic surgeon's island. Sam palms the laser
nailfile and begins slicing her straps but the surgeon grabs it and
destroys it. However it turns out she's cut the main strap enough to
get free and KO the surgeon. The girls sneak out but hear "mmphing"
and at about the 15 minute mark discover Brittney strapped to a
another operating table and gagged (wide cloth gag). They unstrap
her and head for the beach and the show goes to commercial.
Unfortunately a few minutes later it turns out that Brittney is
really a disguised Willard (the villain from "Alex Quits") and he's
got the real Brittney locked in a large cage but otherwise
unrestrained.
"The Incredible Bulk"
About 19 minutes in, the team finds themselves entrapped in exercise 
machines which pin their arms, legs and heads. The villain of the piece,
a maniacal former bodybuilder, gloats a bit and then sets a robot on them
to force-feed them the energy bars that have been causing other
beefcakes to pump up and freak out.
As he does so, mechanical arms sprout from the machines and hook into
the corners of their mouths, prying them open to receive the unholy
treats.
Fortunately, they'd previously engaged in some smile-enhancing
exercises, and are able to use their bulked-up jaw power to
discombobulate the machines and escape (I didn't write it, I just report
it). The sequence lasts about ninety seconds.
"Super Agent Much?"
Sam and Alex are grabbed by mechanical man eating
plants and struggle while wrapped in their vines as
Geraldine explains her evil plan.  Fortunately
Geraldine decides to have her cybercat finish them off
instead of just having the plants squeeze or swallow
our heroines and they're able to escape while the
plants and the cat fight over them.  Later in the show
they're both frozen in place while running away by
Clover's freeze gun but Sam's able to more her hand
enough to fire the gizmo that KO's Clover so Jerry can
turn her back to her old self.  Since the freeze ray
is long lasting Sam and Alex travel home still frozen
in place hanging from cables below a WOOHP chopper.
"Power Yoga Much"
The Spies are rolled up in heavy rugs and put on a
conveyor belt into the Chi Machine which will
brainwash them into becoming servants of a whacked out
Yoga Master.  The Spies manage to swallow extra spicy
gum to make themselves slippery enough to squirm out
of the rugs but while Clover and Alex escape Sam's
high tolerance for spicy foods means she can't work up
enough of a sweat to get free and gets brainwashed.
Before CLover and Alex can unwrap her she calls for
the guards to capture the nonbelievers and they have
to flee.  Later on the brainwashed Sam takes on Jerry
in a martial arts duel but he manages to knock her off
the telephone wires where they're fighting.  She lands
in the back of his car where straps automatically wrap
around her and hold her until she can be returned to
normal.  Incidentally earlier in the show Mandy was
abducted and carried off so she can be brainwashed and
return as a formidal adversary for the spies which
leads to their capture.
"Truth Or Scare"
At the very beginning of the show celebrity Gisela is abducted
by her driver when the seat of her limo sprouts wrist manacles
and a hose pops up to hit her with gas.  About ten minutes later
Alex is mistaken for Rockstar Jackson Johns and abducted the same
way in a train.  Sam and Clover find Alex locked inside a glass 
cage with her arms held against her side by tape wrapping.  Taken
offguard when the truth gas zapped Alex reveals how they're planning
to attack Sam and Clover wind up wrapped together the same way and 
on a  conveyor belt leading to a printing press while the villain 
leaves with Alex to take him through WHOOP security.  While trying 
to roll  away from the press Clover snags a bundle of magazines with
her foot and kicks it overhead into the press.  The explosion lands 
them below a papercutter which lands exactly right to free both of
them.  Meanwhile at WHOOP the still bound Alex watches Jerry and the 
villain fight and Jerry lose.  Sam and Clover arrive and Alex is able
to clue them in to how to win after which she finally wriggles free
of the wrapping.
"Head Shrinker Much"
Captured by a mad paleontologist the girls are tied back to back and 
hung over a lava pit.  Leaving them to lower slowly to their doom the 
villain leaves and the girls think fast.  Sam has a super hairdryer that'll
fly them away from the pit but she can't reach it with her hands bound.  
Alex has picked up a flint and gets to work on the ropes and cuts through 
as they're just about to go into the pit.  Sam grabs the hairdryer as they 
fall and Clover & Alex hang on as she flies them to safety.
"Evil Promotion Much"
In Part 2 of this three parter the girls get stuck inside a giant pink plastic 
cube which only seems to hamper their movements rather than immobilize them.
It doesn't last long but in Part 3 the Spies and Jerry are blasted against a wall
by an airjet fired by double agent Dean then pinned to the wall when Jerry's evil
twin brother fires spikes that nail their clothes to the wall.  They're stuck in 
this situtation for several minutes while the villain explains his vendetta against
Jerry and outlines his master plan.  He heads off to destroy WOOHP leaving Dean to
dispose of the Spies.  Unable to move or reach any gadgets they're helpless as he
takes aim.  Fortunately Dean's really a triple agent and his gun pulls the nails out
of the wall and frees them.

> (Episode 1) The $$60 billion man: When Meryl and Milly get caught and
strung up by bounty hunters who are after Vash's $$60 billion bounty, our
hero frees them in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it rescue scene.  They are
tied up hands behind, ropes around waist, hanging under a stone arch, for
about one minute prior to that. 
(Episode 4) Love & Peace: Our two insurance ladies are captured again,
this time by bandits who have kidnapped the town mayor's daughter for
ransom. The women are tied hands behind, ropes around torso, next to
another guy, and Vash himself soon joins them. The insurance ladies and
the men are seated on the floor of the tavern, the mayor's daughter is
suspended from the ceiling. They stay that way for a good portion of the
episode, and during that time, Vash is not above trying to sneak a peek
under the daughter's dress!! Great scene. 
(Episode 18) Goodbye For Now: By now the series has swung towards it's
more serious side. In this episode, a young teenage girl gets kidnapped
by thugs, and Vash must save her with the help of Wolfwood, another
gunman, but first he must solve his own personal dilemma. The scene is
very brief, we only see her for a moment through a window, tied by the
wrists and held by a pudgy gangster. 
(Episode 19) Hang Fire: The two insurance ladies are once again on the
trail of Vash the Stampede. They are aboard a sandship when they are
caught and held prisoner along with the other passengers on board. The
both of them are tied in their nightgowns, hands behind and ropes around
upper bodies. They manage to subdue their armed guard while still bound,
and subsequently escape. Another great scene. 
(Episode 21) Out of time: Part 2 of a two-part episode. This episode has
lots of plot twists and revelations, and again I will try not to spoil too
much. A childhood friend of Vash gets captured by the Gung-ho Guns, who
have invaded a spaceship that orbits the planet. She is later found by
Wolfwood, tied and gagged in a brief scene that lasts a few seconds. 
(Episode 24) Sin:  The last scene in the series. The insurance girls
get captured by townspeople under the mind control of Legato Bluesummers,
leader of the gung-ho guns. They are tied hands behind, ropes around torso.
Legato has the townspeople torture them both in a final attempt to force
Vash to "come to the dark side" (pardon the Star Wars reference). There is
a brief flashback of this episode in the following episode. 
>> Episode: "Out of Time"
Around 21 minutes in on of a CARTOON NETWORK airing, Jessica, who has been
replaced with an android, is discovered lying on the floor bound and
overgagged. The scene lasts all of about three seconds, and she is shown
only in a head-and-shoulders shot. 

The Triplets

* Anonymous
> This show for preschoolers about three young girls who keep being sent into classic
stories had a scene in it. In one episode, when the girls entered the story "Robinson
Crusoe", they were captured by cannibals (and this is for preschoolers?!). They were
tied to poles, hands behind the pole, wrists crossed, and later seen barefoot. They
were tickled by the cannibals, but then rescued by Robinson Crusoe. How...strange
sounding. 
Treasure Island - Two of the triplets are tied sitting near a post by Long John Silver
and his pirates. Their hands are tied behind them as they sit at the posts. They are
gagged so they can't warn Jim Hawkins that he's walking into a trip.  After that Jim
joins them at the post as they are all tied to it by a rope wrapped around all three
of them, but they are ungagged and stay that way. Their remaining sister trades a fake
treasure map for their freedom and they're untied.
Atlantis - The closest thing to an actual peril scene on this show.  One of 
the triplets dives into the ocean to retrieve the watch she dropped but 
while on the ocean floor she gets kelp fonds tangled around her legs and 
can't get back up for air.  Her sisters dive down and free her before she 
can suffer any ill effects.
I missed the title of this last one but I'd guess either "King Arthur" or 
"Camelot".  This time it's not the Triplets but the rotund Queen Guinevere 
who gets tied by Sir Modred and threatened with being pushed off a tower if 
he doesn't get a getaway horse.  The triplets become a pantomime horse and 
Modred can't tell the difference from the tower so he walks into their trap.
