The chapter opens with a flashback to the previous chapter, in which Dr. Bledsoe and the other members of the Senate are discussing how to deal with the threat of the Voltronians. They're worried about how to control Voltron's power, and they want to figure out a way to get him to stop using his power. They want to know if he's going to use his power against them, or if they're going to have to use it against him. The flashback shows that the Senators don't trust Voltron to control his own power, so they've been trying to convince him to let them use his powers against them. They also want to make sure that Voltron doesn't use the power against the other Senators, and that they'll be able to stop him from using it against them as well.
