While the Lions are unresponsive, their Paladins still live, but Zarkon arrives in a Ro-beast in his image. Before Zarkon can do anything, Haggar uses her dark magic to forcefully remove the Quintessence from Voltron, but is overloaded by the purity of Volton.
As Zarkon himself goes to battle Voltron, Haggar & her Druids go to protect their emperor as he readies his armor, which untested could kill him as well as Voltron. The Paladins fight to systematically destroy the base to prevent Zarkon's return.
