Plot

Plot[]

Two security guards are patrolling the police impound lot. The four ninja and Nya form their plans to retrieve their vehicles back while Nya takes back the Destiny's Bounty. As the ninja get their vehicles, Zane is caught, though Wu surprises them and locks them in a booth, finally deciding to stick by the ninja's side. The ninja then reactivate their vehicles, and Wu boards the Bounty as the group take off.

Meanwhile, Lloyd and Harumi (as Lloyd's prisoner) traverse through Primeval's Eye. Harumi tries to get into Lloyd's head as usual, though he refuses to listen and forces her onward. As Harumi eventually manages to attack Lloyd with a nearby leaf hitting him, she steals back her Katana and flees as Lloyd gives chase. However, they both fall into a pit of quicksand. Left with no other option, Harumi hands Lloyd her sword as he cuts a vine to pull him out, and cuts another one to free Harumi. Lloyd then forces Harumi to have her hands tied up, but is attacked once more. As they get into a brief argument, the rest of the Crystal Council arrive on Dragonides to find Lloyd and Harumi.

As they hide, Harumi kicks down Lloyd to give away their location. As Lloyd tries to restrain Harumi, the Crystal Council attack him with their Dragonides, though Lloyd manages to escape. As Lloyd reaches a dead end though, he is confronted by Harumi once more. Suddenly, Wu and Nya appear on the Bounty, as Lloyd jumps aboard. As the Crystal Council attack them, Zane, using his Golden Dragon Jet, fights the Council in an aerial battle. With the Council taken out, Lloyd and the others notice the Crystal Island airborne and slowly moving towards Ninjago City. As Lloyd tells Nya and Wu that the Overlord has returned, Wu orders Kai and Cole to fall back on their attack. Lloyd then stares down at Harumi as she smiles and flees, while Lloyd and the others take off.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Narrator: Harumi
  • The episode shares a similar title to "Return to the Fire Temple."
  • This is the 124th episode with the ninja's new designs. This means that as of this episode, both designs have had the same amount of screen time, with the original designs being on-screen for 74 22-minute episodes and the new designs being on screen for 24 22-minute episodes and 100 11-minute episodes.

Continuity[]

  • Security guards refer to their work as guards at Borg Tower from "Level Thirteen."
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane's Golden suits.
  • The soundtrack "Who Said Anything About Sail?" plays when the ninja set off in their vehicles from the impound lot.
  • As Lloyd and Harumi begin their journey through Primeval's Eye, the scene where Lloyd slices the first vine is very similar to the opening shot of "Uncharted."
  • Lloyd and Harumi's journey through Primeval's Eye parallels the episode "The Quiet One."
    • Harumi even tells Lloyd about the time they once trekked through this jungle and how she cut the vines in their path.
    • Harumi's line "Well, I'm thinking about you. About how things could've been different between us" parallels her avatar's line "I think about you so much. Sometimes I wonder...if things could've been different" in Stop, Drop and Side Scroll.
  • This is the third episode that Aspheera calls Wu, "Wu-ser", (a combination of Wu's name and "loser"), a name she came up for him from "A Painful Promise" and used it also in "The Fall of the Monastery."
  • The ninja catching Lloyd when he jumps aboard the Bounty is similar to the ninja catching baby Wu in Big Trouble, Little Ninjago.
  • This marks the final time Lloyd wears a Green Ninja suit in the present in the series. Starting with the next episode, Lloyd wears a golden suit.
  • The scene in the end is the second time Lloyd coldly glares at Harumi, the first time being in the end of Dread on Arrival.
