Juggernaut is the twenty-first episode of Godzilla: The Series, and is the last episode of season 1.
Plot[]
The episode opens with a strange meteorite impacting the ground and assimilating a child's remote controlled car before speeding away.
There is a comic relief scene at H.E.A.T., and the Techno-Sentient is seen overtaking a hot dog cart and then breaking into an electronics store. The manager calls H.E.A.T. for help and the Techno-Sentient begins to absorb all the merchandise. Monique Dupre is able to tear off a piece of the creature as it leaves. They take it back while Monique and Randy Hernandez follow the creature. In the lab, Mendel Craven devises a strategy to defeat the Techno-Sentient by using electromagnetic pulses.
Meanwhile, the creature has absorbed construction equipment at a construction site. When H.E.A.T. arrives, Mendel tests his EMP cannon only to discover that the creature can shield against and reflect EMP. It then absorbs the truck Mendel was standing on taking him with it. Godzilla arrives to fight the Techno-Sentient. Mendel finds an absorbed cell phone and calls the team for help. He then sees that the creature is accessing the internet to gain information on the planet. Godzilla is electrocuted and knocked out after touching power lines, allowing the Techno-Sentient to escape. It climbs on top of a train, and Nick and Monique board it to save the passengers by disconnecting the 1st car.
After that, they track the monster to Fort McKenzie, which houses a nuclear arsenal, something that could destroy the Earth if the creature got a hold of it. Godzilla arrives, and the military unsuccessfully tries to defeat the Techno-Sentient and shifts its attention to Godzilla, chasing him away. Mendel then realizes that the Techno-Sentient is trying to nuke Baghdad, an act that would end all life by causing global nuclear war, but after sharing this information with the team, the Sentient tries to kill Mendel with a circular saw while infiltrating the base's control room and initiating the launch. Godzilla returns and attacks the creature while it's preoccupied with launching the nuke. Mendel escapes and finds the Techno-Sentient's brain and places his phone into it, allowing Randy to hack in. Elsie and Monique enter the monster by driving a forklift towards it, allowing themselves to be taken in. They find Mendel and blow themselves an exit with plastic explosives. Randy is able to change the missile's launch so that it detonates in space with the Sentient having become attached due to Godzilla's attacks. The episode ends with Elsie asking Mendel out on a date, to which he accepts.

Trivia[]
- This is the third and final episode in which Godzilla doesn't use his Atomic Breath.
- It is unknown what happened to the people aboard the first train car the Techo-Sentient rode off with. It is possible that they were killed, as the Techno-Sentient absorbs all technology it comes into contact with, and they were not shown escaping nor had a way to do so, and they and the train are never mentioned again.
- This episode is dedicated to Min Kim.
