# List of Code Lyoko: Evolution episodes

This is a list of episodes for the first season of the French teen drama science fiction television series, Code Lyoko: Evolution created by Thomas Romain and Tania Palumbo and produced by the MoonScoop Group for France Télévisions, Lagardere Thematiques and M6, in association with Sofica Cofanim and Backup Media. It is a live-action reboot of the French animated television series Code Lyoko, produced by the French company MoonScoop Group, that first aired in 2013.

## List of Episodes

* Set one year after the events of the animated series
* the Ice Sector and Forest Sector are lost due to the long period of inactivity of the Supercomputer. It has not been confirmed whether Jeremy will restore the Ice Sector and Forest Sector or not; towers are now black and rectangular and partially open when activated
* Monsters explode into red metallic particles instead of emitting a bright white light
* William Dunbar is welcomed back as the fifth Lyoko Warrior. His Lyoko attire is still black, like when he was serving under XANA
* While Ulrich and William retain all of their powers from the original series with a few differences in appearance, Yumi is never seen using her slightly enhanced telekinesis nor Odd his purple energy "Shield", long-lost "future flash" ability nor his one-time teleportation or Ulrich's triangulation.
* Yumi is given an additional weapon: a Bo staff, though not used as much as her Tessen fans.
* Odd can now summon an additional pair of gloves on top of his paw-like ones that shoot six laser arrows as opposed to just one
* Ulrich, Odd and Yumi are now capable of deactivating towers due to the source codes implanted in their bodies by XANA
* An additional enemy makes himself known: a scientist named Lowell Tyron, who was a member of Project Carthage alongside Waldo Franz Schaeffer, later known as Franz Hopper
* Professor Tyron has his own supercomputer generating a virtual world named the Cortex. The last remaining trace of XANA is hiding within the Cortex, so the Lyoko Warriors must destroy the Cortex in order to finish XANA off for good
* Jeremy programs an adaptable vehicle to travel in the Cortex called "the Megapod" with Odd as the driver
* In additional to XANA's monsters, the five Lyoko Warriors battle Ninjas, which are Tyron's subordinates wearing special suits that allow them to control virtual avatars in the Cortex
* Aelita's long-lost mother, Anthea Hopper, is revealed to be very much alive and has been living in Switzerland as Professor Lowell Tyron's wife for the last four years. Unfortunately, she is completely oblivious that she has been manipulated by her ambitious second husband and of the existence of XANA She was led to believe that her only child had died.
* Girl genius Laura Gauthier temporarily joins the group to help Jeremy create a virus great enough to destroy the Cortex and XANA, but her recklessness ultimately forces them to kick her out of the group and erase her memory.
* Jeremy successfully launches the virus on the Cortex. However, Professor Tyron shuts his supercomputer down before it can fully take effect on XANA, meaning there is a distinct possibility that the rouge multi-agent system still resides within and can be reawakened at any time should Professor Tryon reactivate his supercomputer.

He warns the others, and just as they're leaving Aelita receives a message from an unknown sender asking her to meet them in a nearby building. While she's thinking about it, Laura comes and says she heard Aelita's phone ringing. Aelita tells her there's an alert and she should go on ahead to the lab, which she happily does. Aelita then goes to the meeting place and finds a blonde-haired woman there; her long-lost mother, Anthea. They share a warm mother-daughter embrace. Jeremy offers Laura the controls and goes to find Aelita, realizing her "mother" is actually a specter, and tries to convince her of it. Aelita doesn't believe him and returns to the specter. Meanwhile, Laura figures out XANA's strategy: activating the two towers one after the other in a specific sequence of prime numbers. She relays the information to Odd and Yumi on Lyoko, who then enter the towers at the right moment and deactivate them, destroying the specter in Aelita's arms. Aelita feels remorseful for her actions, but the gang all stick up for her, firmly assuring her that she is not alone. As Laura leaves, Aelita thanks her for her help. |||||

Jeremy is alerted to an activated tower and he, Aelita, Odd, Ulrich and Laura go to the lab to check it out. Laura's dad is called to the school as a result of the marks mix-up and he calls her back to the principal's office. He expresses his doubt in the school's ability to help his daughter achieve the highest level, and decides he wants her to transfer to another school. Laura insists on staying, deciding to show him the Supercomputer as proof of what Kadic can offer her. Meanwhile, the others explore Lyoko looking for the activated tower that's nowhere to be found. Jeremy eventually picks it up in the Cortex and sends them there to take care of it. When Laura and her dad arrive, Aelita goes back to the lab to get them out of Jeremy's way so the mission can be completed. The tower is deactivated and a return to the past is launched.

Jeremy discovers that the lottery wins are happening all over Europe, and realises that it must be XANA. The group minus Odd head to Lyoko to deactivate the tower in Sector 5, which they do successfully. They return home and Odd comes to the lab feeling gloomy about not actually winning the lottery and his situation with Samantha, having bought a thousand red roses to give to her thinking he truly had won the jackpot. Jeremy then notices that XANA had used the tower as a diversion to attack the Skid with a virus while they weren't looking. Odd is the only one who can go in and must pilot the bugged-up Skid and try to counter the virus with little experience doing either. Laura is called in to help, but they don't make much progress. Jeremy then decides to virtualise Laura into the Skid to help on site, and she becomes extremely excited about the idea. Aelita, however, quickly guides Odd through the steps and together they counter the virus just before Laura is about to be transferred. The Skid is returned to normal and Laura leaves, furious about not having to go to Lyoko after all. The gang make it up to Odd for his amazing solo work by setting him up with Samantha with the thousand roses he purchased. She is touched by Odd's gifts, and warmly kisses him on the cheek. |||||

While in the Cortex being attacked by Ninjas, Yumi can't stop thinking about Ulrich. She gets herself devirtualized on purpose just to go talk to him and work things out. The two soon reconcile. Meanwhile, a Ninja, not defeated in the fight in the Cortex, follows the Megapod back to the Skid, then hangs onto the Skid all the way back to the hangar in Sector 5. William ends up being left alone to fend off the Ninja, which is heading for the Core of Lyoko itself. Ulrich is called in and easily destroys the Ninja with his sabers, but it plants a sinister-looking device on the bottom of a platform in Sector 5 before it disappears. |||||
| 15 | "Les sans-codes (Translation : The Codeless)" "Spartan" | 6 April 2013 (2013-04-06) | 28 January 2020 | 115 |
| A tower is activated and a specter is sent after Odd, taking the appearance of a football player. Aelita and Ulrich go to deactivate the tower, but when they reach it, Aelita is unable to enter. The tower deactivated itself because Odd lost the last of his source codes to the specter. Odd then formulates a protection plan where the "no-coders" protect the people who can't return to Lyoko for 12 hours, and who have nowhere to hide from XANA's specters. William is particularly annoyed at Yumi and quickly becomes fed up with Odd's plan and being referred to as a "no-coder," and he storms off. Another tower is activated and Ulrich and Aelita are shut in a closet under Odd's protection while Yumi calls a truce with William so they can go to Lyoko. When he and Yumi reach the tower they're confronted by an evil clone of William who plays on his doubts, telling him that he's being used by the gang, especially Yumi. He and the clone then chase after Yumi while the footballer specter finds Ulrich and Aelita and corners them. Odd realizes that the sound system can be used to disrupt the specter and stop it from advancing, so he starts singing Frère Jacques over the PA to delay it, angering Jim. Meanwhile, William turns on his clone, allowing Yumi to get to the tower and deactivate it. |||||
| 16 | "Confusion" | 13 April 2013 (2013-04-13) | 4 February 2020 | 116 |
| Towers are being activated and deactivated constantly and XANA is trying and failing to send specters. Laura follows the group to the lab and Jeremy allows her to help, seeing as it's an unusual case. While in the lab she asks Aelita about Franz Hopper. Not getting a decent answer, she goes to do research in the library before confronting Aelita, saying that she knows Franz built the Supercomputer, and that he apparently abandoned his daughter. Aelita replies that her father didn't abandon her, but selflessly sacrificed himself for her, and asked Laura if her own father would do the same for her. Aelita returns to the lab. The gang decides they'll have more luck finding out what's going on by going to the Cortex, where XANA currently lives. They happen upon a huge battle between Tyron's Ninjas and XANA's monsters in the Dome, and can't figure out why the two are fighting each other because Tyron's Supercomputer is what's allowing XANA access to the network. Jeremy decides to organize a meeting with Tyron himself to ask some questions. Later that night the gang goes back to the factory, and Aelita and Yumi are sent in to talk to Tyron about XANA. Tyron claims he knows nothing about the artificial intelligence, and that there was no way it could be living inside his own supercomputer. He then has two of his ninjas try to imprison Aelita and Yumi inside the Cortex, but Jeremy pulls them out just in time. It's then that the six Lyoko Warriors realize they are up against two separate, dangerous threats rather than just one. |||||

| A man named Graven shows up at Kadic asking after Jeremy, the smartest kid in school, offering him a place in a special scientific institution specialising in quantum physics. Jeremy denies having any knowledge of the subject, then figures out that Graven is an agent sent by Tyron, and that they must have traced Lyoko's location on Earth somehow. Graven gives up on Jeremy and moves on to Laura, the second smartest in the school. Aelita sends the others to Sector 5 to search for any kind of tracking device that the Ninja from episode 14, Stowaway, could have planted while it was on Lyoko. They find it but don't manage to destroy it, as when it's damaged it sends out an electromagnetic pulse that causes the Lyoko Warriors pain and threatens to damage the Supercomputer. They decide to dispose of it in the Cortex, carefully removing it from the bottom of the platform and taking it to the Replika in the Skid. XANA retaliates in the Digital Sea by sending Kongers, but they manage to make it there. Meanwhile, Laura accidentally lets Graven know about her knowledge of quantum physics, and he surmises that she must have something to do with Lyoko, showing her holographic images of Aelita, Odd, Yumi, Ulrich and William's virtual avatars, asking her if she recognizes them. She denies it, but Aelita comes in and tells her that Tyron found the Supercomputer, and that the group surrender to Graven. He tells the girls to take him to the Supercomputer. Ulrich disposes of the tracking device and everyone comes back to Earth just as Graven enters the lab with the girls. Jeremy launches a return to the past. At the beginning of the day again, Graven gets a phone call saying they lost Lyoko's signal, and to abort his mission. He leaves as the gang watches on. Laura pulls the scientific institution's card out of her bag, studying it, still very interested in the idea. |||||

A hurt Aelita leaves, and Laura smugly denies that there was anyone at the door. Jeremy and Laura finish the virus and the group plans to implement it that afternoon, but Odd gets detention and Ulrich sprains his ankle, forcing both of them to opt out. William, Aelita and Yumi go in. By the time they reach the center of the Cortex, only Aelita remains. She accesses the mainframe and finds a webcam stream of Tyron working in his lab at that very moment. She observes the stream for a minute, telling Jeremy what's going on, then moves to infect the Cortex with the virus. But when she looks up, she sees her mother Anthea there in Tyron's lab, working on one of the computers. After a moment of confusion, Aelita firmly insists on destroying the Cortex and XANA along with it, but Jeremy and the others unanimously decide to abort the mission for now as there is proof that Aelita's mother is indeed alive and there's a chance of reuniting her with her daughter. Aelita comes back to Earth, upset about not destroying XANA, but her friends convince her that the risk was worth it. Jeremy assures her that if XANA gains 95% of its strength, they will destroy it and the Cortex immediately; no questions asked. |||||

| Thanks to Odd, Jeremy comes up with the idea of getting source codes back from specters, thus reducing XANA's power. The plan works and they trap a specter, but things go horribly wrong when it ends up on Lyoko in the form of blackish-green particles, severely damaging and disabling the scanners and putting the Lyoko Warriors it touches into a coma-like state. Jeremy can't bring the others back or even send William to help because of the damage to the scanners. The specter then tries to throw Yumi into the Digital Sea. Odd enters the Desert Way Tower and Jeremy uploads the codes they stole from the specter into him. Odd races to the activated tower with the specter in hot pursuit. He enters the tower and the specter goes in after him, but he manages to deactivate it before the specter touches him. Meanwhile Aelita resorts to social networking to try to find her mother. After the mission Jeremy tells her the good news: they were able to steal 4% of XANA's power and Odd is capable of deactivating towers again. Aelita then tells Jeremy her good news: she is getting hundreds of responses about her long-lost mother as hundreds of people all over the world join the effort to find Anthea Schaeffer. This is the only episode that shares a title from the animated series |||||

| Jeremy manages to develop a program that will allow the gang to hack Tyron's surveillance system and spy on him, both using video and sound, and potentially speak to Anthea. When the gang go to the Cortex to implement it, all but Aelita are devirtualized by Ninjas when they tip off an unforeseen security system. Aelita opts to stay in the Cortex's core to wait for her mother to appear, asking for a clone to replace her at the school while she's gone, which causes enough problems of its own. In the end, Aelita is able to speak to her long-lost mother, convincing her that she is alive before she is devirtualized by Ninjas. The experience initially leaves her feeling sad, but after Jeremy assures her that Anthea did indeed get her message regardless of her shock, her spirits are rekindled. |||||

Yumi suggests they have a girls' day out to take her mind off things and Aelita accepts, but Sissi decides to invite herself along as well. When a tower is activated Sissi refuses to leave their side, so Yumi heads for the lab while Aelita is forced to return to the school and keep Sissi occupied. XANA sends a polymorphic specter that keeps changing its face, taking the appearance of the Lyoko Warriors themselves and making it nearly impossible to tell who's who. The gang quickly become paranoid and distrustful, and begin asking each other personal questions to figure out who their friends are. Lyoko isn't free of this confusion either: XANA starts sending fake avatars, virtual clones of the Lyoko Warriors that look and act just like them. Even Jeremy can't tell them apart on his screen. Jeremy and Laura collaborate on a program to identify the virtual clones so Odd can get rid of them and deactivate the tower in time to save Yumi and Aelita from the polymorphic specter. |||||

Laura is keen to implement it immediately and destroy both the Cortex and XANA, but Jeremy insists they wait until Aelita has made more progress with her mother, Anthea. Meanwhile William feels neglected after Yumi tells him she's too busy to read a book he offered her. Laura takes the opportunity to try and recruit William for her cause, and after some persuading he hesitantly agrees. She sends him into the Cortex, but when he arrives, he is greeted by a massive army of Krabes and no Megapod. Not soon after, the Scyphozoa makes its reappearance, ready to possess William as XANA's servant once again. It captures William and it's up to Yumi, Aelita, and Ulrich to set him free again. For her betrayal, the others vote unanimously to permanently exclude Laura from the group, and a furious Jeremy launches a new modified version of the return to the past to have her memory of the Supercomputer fully erased. |||||

| It's Aelita's "birthday" and someone is trying to hack into the supercomputer. The firewalls Jeremy created manage to stop it from getting in. When analyzing the data packet sent, Jeremy notices that it is of unusual design: created by Franz Hopper. Perhaps Anthea is trying to contact them to wish her daughter a happy birthday. Jeremy calls the others but does not alert Aelita, as he wants it to be a surprise. Ulrich and Odd go into the Digital Sea to track down the hub that sent the packet. But when they start collecting the data, a huge tentacle emerges from the hub and ensnares the Skid. Malware is sent to the Supercomputer, shutting the holomap and superscan down. It was all a trap laid by XANA, and Jeremy can do nothing against it, nor can he devirtualize Odd and Ulrich as the Skid's protection shields slowly fail. Aelita is called in and comes to the rescue, bringing the boys in just before the Skid shatters. Jeremy loses all hope and begins to doubt his own abilities. Yumi goes to Lyoko to search for activated towers while Aelita and Jeremy work on fixing everything. After accidentally endangering Yumi's life, Jeremy leaves, depressed. Aelita saves her and then comes back to the lab to find Jeremy gone, but she cannot go after him because a tower is activated. William is sent in to help, but against an army of duplicating Kankrelats they get nowhere. A specter of Ms Hertz attacks Aelita in the lab, and when Jeremy hears about it he runs back to the lab to help, fixing the holomap and figuring everything out so that the tower can be deactivated in time before Aelita is drained of any more source codes. |||||

| During a training mission on the Cortex, the Megapod bugs up and Jeremy is forced to figure out how to repair it. Just as he does so, the superscan finds an activated tower on the Cortex. But when they arrive on site, they find the tower has a purple halo. It has been activated by Tyron, and the Lyoko Warriors are soon surrounded by Ninjas, and Odd, Aelita and Ulrich become trapped in a temporal bubble that sends them back to that morning's gym class, repeating it dozens of times over. They must find a way to contact Jeremy to tell them what happened so that he can destroy the bubble before Tyron uses its signal to track their location on Earth. Meanwhile, Laura finds the card that was given to her in A Bright Career Ahead. Not remembering where she got it from, she dials the number, arranging for a video interview. Tyron himself conducts the interview, but becomes disinterested in her when she reveals that she has never worked with a quantum supercomputer before. Just before hanging up, Tyron shows her images of Odd, Ulrich, Aelita, Yumi and William's virtual avatars, asking them who they are. Laura tells him that they look just like Jeremy Belpois' best friends. Tyron thanks her greatly for her help and hangs up, leaving Laura upset and offended. |||||

| A mission to gather more information on Aelita's mother is cancelled when XANA launches another attack in the Mountain Sector. Unable to warn Odd and Ulrich, the two boys become the targets of XANA's attacks. Odd loses all of his codes once again. Meanwhile Aelita and Yumi are pinned in the Cortex by XANA's forces en route to deactivate the tower, and Yumi is later devirtualized. On Earth, XANA has stolen Ulrich's codes as well. Realizing that Yumi is on Earth too, XANA sends the specter to find and recover the codes. Odd is sent to provide William and Aelita with backup while Ulrich goes looking for Yumi. After arguing with Jeremy over Yumi's safety, William devirtualizes himself in order to find her. Odd goes to Lyoko while Aelita is being pursued by Kongers in the Digital Sea. After Ulrich calls Yumi to ask where she is, she's spotted by the specter. William and Ulrich team up to go look for Yumi, but split up after finding her phone lying abandoned on the ground. While on Lyoko, Odd is pinned down and out of ammunition, the Bloks are pushing him towards the Digital Sea. Aelita shows up in the Skid and destroys all the monsters. Yumi is attacked by the specter, but rescued by Ulrich. After deactivating the tower, it is revealed that XANA has regained 95% of its power. Keeping the promise, it is decided that the virus that Jeremy, Laura, and Aelita have been working on will now be used to destroy Tyron's supercomputer, preventing any further communication with Anthea Hopper. |||||

| Aelita insists they destroy the Cortex right away and they set out on what should be their final mission. But due to interference from XANA, they don't even make it inside the Dome; the mission is a failure and they're forced to wait twelve hours before they can try again. As she's on her way back to the lab for their second attempt of finally exterminating their longtime virtual enemy once and for all, Aelita is called to the principal's office where she finds Tyron waiting for her. He reveals that he's been married to Anthea for four years now, making him her stepfather. He gives her Anthea's locket and shows her a digital message a happy Anthea left for her, telling Aelita she can completely trust Tyron to reunite them. He then tells Aelita to call off the mission to destroy his Supercomputer or else she'll never see her mother again, but Aelita refuses and escapes. After finding out the locket contains a tracking device, Yumi takes it and stays at the school while Aelita goes to join Odd, William and Ulrich on the Cortex. Tyron apprehends Yumi and then orders for his Supercomputer to be shut down. The virus is successfully transferred to his Supercomputer but it doesn't have time to take effect before the machine is shut down. Aelita and the others barely manage to escape in time and make it back to Earth. Tyron suddenly has a dilemma on his hands: if he turns his Supercomputer on and recreates the Cortex, the virus will activate and destroy his system in full. Despite this, the Lyoko Warriors have only won part of the battle. XANA and Tyron have both been neutralized but not destroyed, and Tyron has all the time he needs to find a way to counteract the virus. The Lyoko Warriors shut down their own Supercomputer so that XANA can't take refuge in it. With questions about Aelita's mother, Tyron's guardianship and XANA's return still hanging over them, they're determined to stick together and remain on their guard. |||||
