Spellbound Spellbound is the 40th episode of " Lego " . Plot . In a blimp above Chen ' s Island , each of the contestants are acting hostile towards each other in some way : Griffin Turner announces to Jay that he ' ll be eliminated next due to his broken leg , Kai is still convinced that Shadow is the spy , and Skylor is annoyed with Invizable flirting with her . Lloyd is nervous about the height they ' re at , as is Neuro who enters the cockpit only to find no one driving the blimp . On a screen , Chen announces the competitors won ' t be hunting for jadeblades : they ' ll be hunting Nya , < nowiki > < / nowiki > with the promise of moving the one who captures her to the final round . < nowiki > < / nowiki > The Ninja realize she has the spell and that they ' ll need to find her before the others do . Chen then tells everyone that he ' ll open the bottom to start the challenge and releases parachutes for everyone except Garmadon , < nowiki > < / nowiki > claiming he didn ' t know he was there . The bottom opens and everyone scrambles to grab a parachute while free - falling . Everyone except Lloyd and Garmadon get a parachute , so Lloyd lets his father take the last parachute and tries to summon his dragon . Just before he hits the trees , < nowiki > < / nowiki > he overcomes his fear of falling and creates the Green Dragon < nowiki > < / nowiki > to safely land himself . After the elemental masters land , Chen says that there are " special gifts " hidden around the island to aid the elemental masters in their search for Nya . Shade takes a bow and arrows while Jay reluctantly decides to take a mech so he doesn ' t have to walk . < nowiki > < / nowiki > The elemental masters set off following footprints , while Lloyd and Garmadon spot the Samurai X symbol and follow that . Misako is trying to make contact with Nya and Dareth , but to no avail . Sensei Wu comes and offers tea , surprising Misako that he ' s so calm . He then tells her that he has faith in Garmadon and he ' ll be able to aid the ninja . Meanwhile , in the Noodle Factory , Karlof is listening in on a conversation between some of the Anacondrai Cultists , who are discussing how Cole and Zane < nowiki > < / nowiki > escaped . After they leave , Karlof calls the " all clear . " Zane and a flour - covered Cole emerge from behind two barrels and begin to work on an escape plan . Zane says that he analyzed the sewer systems and that the elemental masters will be able to escape because the sewers will be able to hold their weight by a slim margin . At that moment , two Anacondrai Cultists shove a captured Dareth < nowiki > < / nowiki > into the factory . Dareth walks over to the Ninja , greeting Cole and commenting that Zane " looks different . " Noticing Dareth ' s bulging stomach , Karlof asks Cole by how slim of a margin the sewers will hold their weight if his weight was added . With a sigh , Cole says that the plan won ' t work and goes back to brainstorming ideas . Dareth , in the meantime , is only worried about making his favorite food again . In the jungle , Lloyd questions his father about how he even came to be one of Chen ' s students in the first place . Garmadon decides to tell him the whole story : due to the Great Devourer ' s bite taking years to consume him , he began training under Chen with Clouse . During one of their training matches , Chen tells the two that they ' re holding back and < nowiki > < / nowiki > promises the winner will become his righthand and be granted lordship . At that , Clouse uses his magic to bring the training dummies to life , only for Garmadon to use his Spinjitzu < nowiki > < / nowiki > to destroy them and knock Clouse down to win . Clouse complains , but Chen stated Garmadon did what he needed to do , calling him Lord Garmadon . During this point , the Serpentine Wars were underway and both sides wanted a truce . Chen , on the other hand , is against it and tells the Lord to never trust a snake . He then gives his second - in - command a letter from Wu written for Misako , saying it could sway how she felt about one of the brothers and all he had to do was sign . Garmadon does , though is seen by Clouse doing so . Lloyd is surprised to hear about the letter , though Garmadon says to his son that he has no regrets as Lloyd wouldn ' t exist if he didn ' t . Chen , meanwhile , in the captured DB Express , is testing all the different buttons on the control console and complaining about its lack of trapdoors when Clouse < nowiki > < / nowiki > walks in . Chen tells Clouse that his " special gifts " are implanted with < nowiki > < / nowiki > tracking devices , saying , " Before this day is over , Clouse , there will be no more fighters and no more Tournament ! " < nowiki > < / nowiki > Clouse then leaves to capture the elemental masters on the island . Nya is seen running and narrowly avoids being spotted by Shadow , who stops upon hearing the loudspeaker go off . He is soon surrounded by Clouse and < nowiki > < / nowiki > 6 Anacondrai Grunts , realizing the ninja were telling the truth before being captured , much to Nya ' s shock . In another part of the jungle , Kai calls out to his sister and realizes he ' s being followed . Before he can launch an attack , it ' s revealed to be Skylor with both noticing the other doesn ' t have one of Chen ' s treats . Still working for her father , she easily convinces Kai to < nowiki > < / nowiki > work with her to find Nya . Accepting the proposal , Kai also adds how he < nowiki > < / nowiki > can still trust her , which she agrees with . In the DB Express , Clouse and Eyezor return , having captured Paleman while he was invisible . The Master of Light tells Chen he won ' t succeed , though Chen calls him boring and orders Eyezor to lock him up . As Chen countinues to complain about no trapdoor features , Clouse informs him of his daughter being with Kai while Lloyd and Garmadon are nowhere to be found . Chen then orders his subordinate to find the latter two as well as capture the remaining masters . Still following the symbols , Lloyd is confused that his father trained with Chen , yet fought alongside Wu in the wars and questions the < nowiki > < / nowiki > reason the truce was abandoned . Garmadon continues on : the serpentine attacked first , and although the Elemental Masters fought back easily , they had never encountered anything like the Anacondrai , who were stronger , smarter and natural leaders in battle . After the Elemental Alliance was subdued , Jamanakai Village was captured in the name of General Arcturus , the leader of the Anacondrai and the Serpentine . Chen had thought he could get momentum by siding with the Serpentine and wanted Garmadon by his side . However , the Lord only wanted to fight for Misako and decided to leave Chen to battle by Wu ' s side . As the sons of the First Spinjitzu Master , < nowiki > < / nowiki > they led the alliance into battle and began to win : however , Chen managed to unravel that , as he convinced the Elemental Master of Earth to fight for the snakes , resulting in the alliance being weakened . With inspiration from a snake charmer , Garmadon had the masters use sacred flutes < nowiki > < / nowiki > to hypnotize each Serpentine tribe , divide them and have them locked away in seperate tombs . Chen and Clouse were exiled for their treason , and Arcturus and the 6 remaining generals , under Mystake ' s suggestion , were banished to the Cursed Realm < nowiki > < / nowiki > so they couldn ' t set foot in Ninjago again . Lloyd is amazed Wu and Misako are still in the dark about Garmadon ' s past with Chen , where he states that telling them would have caused him to lose them both . Using the advice he had been given earlier , Lloyd convinces his father to come < nowiki > < / nowiki > clean : in response , Garmadon agrees to do so after they defeat Chen ends and they go back to finding Nya . In the factory , Cole crosses off on the captives ' plan to encase themselves in industrial size egg rolls and asks for another suggestion . < nowiki > < / nowiki > Karlof states that since he was a aeronautic engineer in in his home Metalonia , they could build a roto jet to blow their way out : Cole , however , points out they don ' t have a roto jet and that it would be useless since they ' re underground . Dareth is still determined to make puffy potstickers and decides to make a machine capable of doing so . Zane then realizes that Dareth is right : the captives could use machine parts to build the jet . He and Karlof go to create blueprints for the schematic while the others find parts , leaving Cole to complain that they ' re still underground . Back in the jungle , Jay continues to look for Nya and finds her symbol only to encounter Clouse , who states his search for his girlfriend and his time in the Tournament is over before launching an assault . Jay mocks his magic , angering him to create a mech out of rocks < nowiki > < / nowiki > to even the odds . Not far from them , Nya is carving her symbol and rushes to the ensuing battle . She begins to explain the spell to Jay , though Clouse prevents her from doing so . She escapes , while Clouse accidentally activates the self - destruct feature in Jay ' s mech . As it explodes , Kai and Skylor notice the blast and begin crossing a marsh , thinking Nya was involved . Skylor decides to freeze the water so they can cross , though Kai is confused that she has powers of Ice until he realizes Skylor has been the spy and had absorbed Zane ' s powers . While trying to explain , she ultimately reveals she is Chen ' s daughter , while Chen himself appears and orders her to battle Kai . While fighting , Kai pieces everything together and out of rage , he uses his spinjitzu to melt the ice , causing Chen to drown and forcing Skylor to help him while < nowiki > < / nowiki > the Master of Fire escapes . Chen has had enough and ensnares Kai in a multitude of vines . By now , Nya has caught up to Lloyd and Garmadon and tells them of < nowiki > < / nowiki > what happened before giving them the spell . Upon seeing it ' s a transformation spell , Garmadon realizes Chen plans to turn his followers < nowiki > < / nowiki > into an army of Anacondrai and states that though the the Tournament is < nowiki > < / nowiki > over , the next Serpentine War is on the verge of beginning . Back at the < nowiki > < / nowiki > DB Express , Kai is thrown into its cell with the others , while Jay states Lloyd can still save them . Chen declares he ' s planning on it and while he laughs in triumph , Skylor looks at Kai knowing she had not only < nowiki > < / nowiki > betrayed his trust : she had broken his heart . the fact that each Serpentine tribe normally has only one general . < nowiki > < / nowiki > general , which is justified with the Anacondrai ' s superiority over the Trivia . other snake tribes .
