Plot

Plot[]

During the weekly distribution of CHI to all tribes of Chima, Laval expresses concern to Lagravis about if it's a good idea to give the Crocodiles CHI after the recent battle they had with them, Lagravis then reminds his son that while the Crocodiles have attacked before, they must still give away some of their CHI as it's the rule that all CHI is to be shared with all tribes no matter if they agree with each other or not. Just then, Cragger and Crooler show up to collect some CHI but Laval tries to stop them from having any because of his fears, but he relents and gives them their CHI anyway. Over with Gorzan and the Gorillas, they are marching through the forest when they come across a glowing yellow flower, wanting to make sure it doesn't get squashed, he stays to protect and urges any tribes that come by; Bladvic and the Rhinos to take a detour.

On his Speedor, Laval heads to get back the CHI he gave to Cragger so that Cragger can't use it to attack the Lions, after a small tussle of trying to get the CHI he is thrown overboard and Cragger tells Laval that he wins and that he is right to not have CHI given to the Crocs. Laval, pleased by this takes the CHI back and while riding with Eris, she urges Laval that he must give the Crocodiles their CHI because if he keeps the CHI for himself he will upset the balance of nature and cause earthquakes and lava to appear which happened the last time a Lion tried to keep some CHI to himself, Laval then decides to go to the Crocodile Swamp and give the CHI to Cragger but after he threatens the Lions and Laval's father, Laval ultimately decided not to give the CHI to Cragger and thus Cragger and his forces go to attack Laval where he leads them to the Fangs where the Gorge of Eternal Depth is and throws the Crocodiles' CHI into the gorge.

However, instead of being upset, Cragger is actually pleased Laval did what he did because it meant he made it easier for Cragger to convince the Crocodiles to throw Laval into the gorge like he did with his parents, but as Laval is falling into the gorge, Eris in her Interceptor Jet catches Laval and uses a CHI orb to get out of the gorge and away from Cragger. Laval heads to the creek when in the fog he sees the Lion Legend Beast, while he was trying to communicate with the Legend Beast, Cragger and his forces show up to fight Laval and are able to pin him down, but before they can finish him off, Eris along with the Lions and Eagles come to help Laval and chase away the Crocodiles, Eris then asks Laval what he did with the Crocs' CHI but he doesn't answer out of fear of being ridiculed but also seeing the Lion Legend Beast in the fog on the other side of the creek.

Back with Gorzan, he realizes that the glowing flower can't just stay in the middle of the road, so he takes it to a hilltop in Chima where he plants the flower and out comes an entire field of flowers and Gorzan, along with Laval, Eris and G'Loona play in the field. At the Crocodile Swamp, Crooler tells her worried brother that the Lions are only allied with the other tribes because they control the CHI, when Cragger asks if they will be able to steal the CHI for themselves, Crooler assures him they will and then uses the Persuader Plant on him telling him that he will have another brilliant plan and that the Lions won't know what hit them.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • This is the only episode that features a scene in the middle of the end credits.
  • It remains unknown as to who the Lion that Eris described was.
  • When Worriz mentions Gorzan, "Tiptoeing through his tulips," it is likely a reference to the Tiny Tim song of the same name, which was featured in the film, "Insidious".
  • The ignition sound of a Sith Lightsaber from the Star Wars Franchise can be heard when Gorzan punches Worriz's Pack Tracker.

Continuity[]

  • Laval's actions in this episode would have grave consequences for all of Chima in the later episodes.

Errors[]

  • Ewald and Eglor's voices are swapped during their scene with Gorzan, making Eglor have a lisp.
  • As Gorzan angrily goes to Razar because he plucked and tried to sell the flower that Gorzan was guarding, Razar is shown to be a lot smaller than normal, making Gorzan tower over him menacingly.
  • Despite Cragger's Chi-up depowering, the orb can still be seen in his chest when he orders his henchman to attack Laval.
