The Return is the 1st episode of the third season of The Dreamstone (and the 27th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 7th of January 1994.
Synopsis[]
Concluding directly from the previous episode, the entire squad of Viltheed have been seen hurtling onto the Nightmare Planet. After deciding that the Dreammaker is responsible for this predicament, Zordrak, the Argorribles and the Urpneys must find a way back to Viltheed to rebuild and take revenge. Urpgor devised a means to catapult everyone directly back onto the Sleeping World, meanwhile he had found the Nightmare Stone, hiding it in a cavern on the Nightmare Planet and drawing a map.
Blob, Frizz and Nug were accidentally catapulted to the Land of Dreams where they were brought back to Viltheed by a sympathetic Spildit, who was also eager to see Viltheed's remains. Mr Blossom witnesses this, thinking the Urpneys had kidnapped her, informing the Noops and beginning a rescue mission. As Viltheed's reconstruction began, Zordrak discovered Urpgor's map, but mistaking it for useless scribbles, destroys and force feeds it Urpgor in annoyance, obliviously elimating chances of rediscovering the Nightmare Stone. The Noops managed to infiltrate Viltheed and get back Spildit (who was "helping" the Urpneys rebuild). After a brief chase, the Urpneys continue their work.
Well I suppose, in a sort of a way it's quite nice to be back!"
