EOS[]

When the boys are told that there are no rescues to be had, Virgil sneaks off to do maintenance on Thunderbird 2 as he knows what's in store for the rest of his siblings on their day off.

Skyhook[]

Gordon has trouble trying to repair the weather station, so Virgil tries to steady it with Thunderbird 2 when a static shock shorts out Thunderbird 2's systems, causing it to go into a dive. Gordon re-docks with the stricken craft and takes over the controls, leaving Virgil powerless to assist in the rescue any further.

Under Pressure[]

A toxic waste extraction platform on the oceans bottom starts to malfunction and becomes out of control of the unfortunate driver Ned Tedford.

Heavy Metal[]

After discovering that a meteor that had crashed down in New Geneva was a Global Defence Force satellite, Virgil and Gordon are called in to assist in stopping the Supreme Hadron Collider by air lifting Thunderbird 4 down into the gravity well to disable it. Thunderbird 2 wind up getting into trouble remaining stable in the gravity field and with the help of Thunderbird 1 (and Alan's pod) is able to stabilise enough for Thunderbird 4 to fire missiles at the collider.

Extraction[]

An illegal gas extraction platform is discovered by Robert Williams and his son Aidan, and they become trapped in the cabin under the platform. While Gordon is busy preforming the rescue, Virgil cuts the platform into sections so he is able to lift parts of it to prevent it from falling through the ground while Gordon is busy with getting the Williams' out.

The Hexpert[]

Scott and Virgil are recruited to help find a safe location to drop a large reinforced tirinium vault that houses unstable anti-matter after Parker informs Colonel Casey that he can't contain the explosion. Together they remove the vault from the building and drop it down a nearby mine shaft.

Chain of Command[]

After rescuing the GDF from a serious bridge disaster, a high up official from the GDF imposes restrictions on International Rescue, which prevents Virgil and his brothers from preforming rescues. When Thunderbird 2 is forcibly grounded with them all inside, they all make the decision that while they have to respect authority, if it prevents them from saving lives then they will risk being labeled as outlaws to be able to preform their duty.

Touch And Go[]

When the air traffic control system C.A.T.C.H is taken offline, Scott and Virgil are sent out to safe a cargo plane from crashing down to earth after a mid-air collision with another plane.

Upon arrival, Virgil finds the mine empty, but instead finds a bomb ready to detonate. When the bomb is deactivated, he returns to Thunderbird 2 only to have the craft under the control of the Hood. After the control is reset and given back to the Tracys, Virgil rushes to Tracy Island and helps aid in the destruction of the Hood's ship and the arrest of their enemy.

Earthbreaker[]

A geological survey team looking for Scandium ore gets trapped when a huge earth-breaking vehicle, controlled by a villain known only as the Mechanic, causes them to fall into a narrow crevice. Thunderbirds 1 and 2 are dispatched, but later Thunderbird Shadow joins the crew after the Mechanic takes out several GDF fliers. Thunderbird 2 is attacked from the Earthbreaker as Virgil tries to move in for the rescue and has no choice but to crash-land back on Tracy Island.

City Under the Sea[]

At Bay City, a town that was flooded due to global warming, the Mechanic, in a crab shaped submarine, is searching thought the ruins of the Creighton-Ward building for a safe containing the plans for Parkmoor Scrubs prison, so he can help the Hood to break out of it. As he smashes his way through some of the debris, it collides with a rental sub, which is being hired by the Sullivan family, coursing it to crash onto the seabed. While Gordon and Kayo work together to rescue the family, Lady Penelope and Parker try to get to the safe before the Mechanic gets to it first.
