Synopsis for "O, Bitter Victory!"

Thor and a group of commandos sneak into Loki's camp at night, only to be captured. When General Sawyer realizes that they've been captured, he realizes the only option left is a nuclear strike. In California, Orrin saves Judith from a drunk driver by casually swatting his car aside. At Avengers Mansion, Iron Man and Firelord team up to break the barrier. Firelord flies to lead the army and rescue Thor. Thor challenges Loki to one-on-one combat with no weapons or spells, to which Thor wins.
