Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy season 1 episode 10 Recap and FAQ
Episode Summary
The Guardians of the Galaxy, in pursuit of the Cosmic Seed, land on a moon called Mandala, where they encounter Nebula. Contact with Mandala's surface causes them to regress to past versions of themselves: Drax as an arena fighter, Gamora as Thanos' servant, and Rocket as more primitive. They battle against their past selves and face Ronan, resurrected by Nebula using Mandala's life-generating properties. Eventually, Groot connects with Mandala, helping the team overcome their regressions. Mandala, now sentient and grateful, is made an honorary Guardian, and the team resumes their quest for the Cosmic Seed.
