==Plot==
After Mammatus told the ninja that they will be their prisoners, he ordered the Keepers to take the ninja away while take Jay elsewhere. Once the ninja were thrown into a cell, they meet up with Misako's expedition group and assumed that Clutch Powers attempted to steal the Storm Amulet from the Keepers, who claimed otherwise.
Meanwhile, Lloyd told Twitchy Tim that he's going to go to the Keepers' Village to rescue his friends. Although, Twitchy warned Lloyd not to go out due to it being dangerous, but Lloyd inspired him that he can be brave despite being scared. At the Keepers' Village, PoulErik met with Jay at one of the huts, offering him food while calling the Gift of Jay. Jay began to believe that the Keepers wanted him to be their king because of his lightning powers.
Once Lloyd traveled to the Keepers' Village, he realized that Zippy was following him. While trying to get rid of Zippy by playing fetch with him, he soon found out that he could use Zippy's love for fetch as a way to get pass the Keepers. Once he threw Zippy's coconut at the Keepers, Zippy distracted the Keepers long enough for Lloyd to free the others. However, once Lloyd realized that Jay was taken somewhere else, he and the others looked for Jay while Clutch and Dwayne attempted to steal the Storm Amulet.
After they found out Jay was gone, they learned that Clutch Powers was attempting to steal the Storm Amulet. When the ninja tried to convince him to return it, they were discovered and electrocuted by the Keepers and were recaptured. After they were tied to some poles on the shore near a pier, they witnessed Jay being placed on a raft and realized that the Keepers were only treating him nicely because they were to give him to someone as a gift. Once Jay was placed on the raft, Mammatus made a speech about Wojira. During the speech, the ninja eventually learn that the First Spinjitzu Master was the one who tasked the Keepers to protect the Storm Amulet, and that the Keepers intended to sacrifice Jay to Wojira so she could return to her deep sleep.

==Trivia==
*Narrator: Mammatus
*As part of the 44-minute special version of The Island, instead of the episode ending with Kai saying "I guess someone did want Jay," it ends with Jay saying "There's something big out here!"
*The English version of this episode (along with the next) actually premiered in Taiwan two days before the Canadian premiere. This is because Taiwan aired all four episodes at once, while Canada split the episodes into two parts.
*According to the Character Encyclopedia New Edition, Lloyd's camouflage is made of mud and plants.
===Continuity===
*This is the ninth episode where the title refers to a ninja. The first eight being "Tick Tock," "The Green Ninja," "The Titanium Ninja," "Snake Jaguar," "Fire Maker," "My Enemy, My Friend," "Superstar Rockin' Jay," and "The Son of Lilly."
**This is also the eleventh episode to have a character's name mentioned in the title. The other ten are "Return of the Overlord," "Codename: Arcturus," "My Dinner With Nadakhan," "Saving Faith," "Krag's Lament," "Superstar Rockin' Jay, "I am Okino," "Racer Seven," "The Skull Sorcerer," and "The Son of Lilly."
**This is also the second episode to have Jay's name in the title.
*Jay asks PoulErik which of his heads he should look at when talking to him. This is similar to when Kai said that he didn't know whether to look at the Skull Sorcerer or Hazza D'ur in "The Upply Strike Back!"
*Jay mentions that when he was young, his mother Edna would call him her "precious little gift".
===Errors===
*In the previous episode, two ponytailed Keepers were standing next to Mammatus. However, in this episode, the two ponytailed Keepers were replaced by the ones that have blue markings.
*When Lloyd puts paint on his face, there is no paint on his hands.
*When Lloyd was with Twitchy Tim, he indirectly mentions the Keepers and that he has to rescue the other ninja from them. However, Lloyd didn't know about the Keepers and what happened to the ninja until later on in this episode, as he was separated from them in "The Keepers of the Amulet."
*While Jay was being sacrificed to Wojira, there were a few frames where the ropes that tied the ninja to the poles were missing.
*While Clutch Powers was tied upside down on a pole, his eye patch is seen covering his right eye instead of his left.
*In the extended's synopsis, Misako's named is spelled out as "Miskao" instead.
