Synopsis
Plot
Plot[]
Jay visits an empty pub with only one person, who is busy watching the TV. Jay tries to obtain some ninja chips from a vending machine using his Lightning but fails and leaves. On the TV the Police Commissioner is answering lots of the interviewers' questions about the ninja. He then asks Ronin for help, to which he agrees.
Meanwhile, Misako is trapped and was interrogated by the police forces. After they left, Nadakhan spoke to her and cunningly tricked her into telling the location of the Realm Crystal. He then traps Misako in the teapot and escapes.
When the detectives and Police Commissioner reenters the room, they were shocked by her absence. However, Kai updated his status with his location, encouraging them to find him, but was soon tricked into following a rat with a location device.
While the chase was happening, Nya, in disguise, walks up to a small crowd to listen to a news report about Kai's status with them. After solving his riddle, she crosses the street to meet up with him and the others.
The ninja gathered at the burnt down monastery. After deciding to find out more about Nadakhan, they disperse as pairs; Lloyd and Zane, Kai and Nya, and Cole and Jay.
Lloyd and Zane head off to the Library of Domu where they find a book about the teapot of Tyrahn, however, Ronin hacks into Zane's system and chases Lloyd, eventually catching him.
Kai and Nya pick up motorbikes and ride away from Ninjago City, through the Corridor of Elders. After pursuing and tricking them, Ronin soon caught them.
In Mega Monster Amusement Park, Jay and Cole try to find information about Nadakhan, yet, Ronin finds them and overpowers the Ninja of Lightning and Earth.
Nadakhan makes it to Hiroshi's Labyrinth and succeeds in stealing the Realm Crystal. Eventually, the ninja are arrested, Ronin is paid his large budget of money and Nadakhan laughs at their downfall before setting out to retrieving his crew.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- The scene of Jay entering a restaurant in disguise was featured as the first sneak peek of the season at SDCC 2016.
- The Wu-Cru symbol appears on the middle pillar in the Library of Domu.
- Nadakhan discovering the Realm Crystal was a hologram, may be a reference to how Buzz discovered Zurg's battery was also a hologram in Toy Story 2.
Continuity[]
- When Jay and Cole were in Mega Monster Amusement Park, Jay recognized the roller coaster as where he unlocked his True Potential. This is a reference to "Once Bitten, Twice Shy."
- The events of this episode were soon erased, due to Jay's final wish in "The Way Back".
- Unlike the boys who wear the same hats (or hood in Cole's case) from the previous episode, instead of the hat she had, Nya's disguise is a blonde wig and glasses.
- She is, however, seen with her hat again at the end when getting sent to Kryptarium in the next episode and Episode 58.
- The wig is a blonde version of the Minifigures Series 5 Egyptian Queen's hairpiece, previously used on some of the kabuki.
- Donovan Boulevard, which Simon mentions, refers to Michael Donovan.
- This episode marks the final physical appearance of the Titanium Dragon.
- When the Ninjago Police are driving through the city early on in the episode, an advertisement for the Robo Usher 3000 from "Codename: Arcturus" can be seen.
Errors[]
- Lloyd loses his fedora as he tries to avoid Ronin's shots, but as he was put on the prison bus, he is seen wearing it.
- When Nya and Kai go to get their bikes, Kai mentions being in Jamanakai Village, when they are not actually in Jamanakai Village and they are in another unknown location nearby Ninjago City.
- Also Kai's eyes don't appear to blink at the same time, when Nya claims their dragons attract too much attention.
- Ronin used thermal vision to find Cole. However, that should be impossible as ghosts don't give off any type of heat or cold.
- When asked about this, Tommy Andreasen said, "Consider it a paranormal essence detector then. Ronin is paranoid because of the whole Soul Archer business."[3]
- On the package on ninja chips, Lloyd is seen to have Nya's eyes. This may be related to her wearing Lloyd's costume in "Curseworld, Part I."
- When the police search for Kai there are motorcycles, however when they find him turning out to be a rat, they're gone.
- Also when they start searching they appear to round the same curve at least four times.
- When Nadakhan first appears after Misako wishes to speak to someone, his mask is missing.
- This also happens at the end of the episode in the rear shot of him watching the ninja being sent to Kryptarium Prison.
- The roller coaster at Mega Monster Amusement Park appears to gain and lose more and more cars between shots.
- When Nadakhan says, "Brainless tin cans." his mouth stops moving.
- In the rear shot of Ronin after he dodges Lloyd's energy orb, for a split second, he can be seen with his mask on despite not having it on before.
- Nya's Water Dragon is absent when the ninja arrive at and leave the Monastery of Spinjitzu on their Elemental Dragons.
