Extended: The ninja set about trying to find a quest to get back in shape. Unfortunately, they discover this is easier said than done. All their foes have already been vanquished and the ninja discover that NINJAGO is enjoying a rare period of tranquility. Out of sheer boredom and desperation, they turn to the Commissioner of NINJAGO City, hoping that they might be able to assist him in the apprehension of some criminal. But at every turn the ninja find themselves thwarted. After several comedic and abortive efforts to prevent crimes, the ninja give up and return dejectedly back to the monastery. On TV, they overhear a Gayle Gossip newscast in which she is interviewing famed archaeologist Clutch Powers, who has just uncovered a booby-trapped pyramid deep in the Desert of Doom. The ninja seize on this as their quest!https://web.archive.org/web/20210308200858/https://www.foxtel.com.au/tv-guide/Ninjago/120287458
==Plot==
While Master Wu is meditating, Lloyd comes in and asks for advice on getting back into shape. This angers Wu and he tells Lloyd to find the solution himself.
Back at the courtyard, the ninja are training until Lloyd comes back and to no success is not able to get any advice from Wu, so Jay decides the ninja need to brainstorm in a calm environment which is the hot tub.
In the hot tub, Kai suggests they need a villain to get into form, but the ninja realizes they have defeated most of the villains such as former Sons of Garmadon members and Chen, and while Lord Garmadon is still active, they decide he is no longer a threat. Also, they are too lazy to search for Pythor as his whereabouts are unknown. Zane then proposes that they ask the Police Commissioner to see if there are any criminals to catch.
In Ninjago City, the ninja rush to the Police Commissioner's office to see if there's any work to be done; however, Ninjago City is unusually peaceful due to being no villains. Suddenly, Jimmy comes in and tells the Police Commissioner about an illegal shipment which is when the ninja dash out to deal with the situation. Nevertheless, when they break-in, there is only a guy selling juice. 
When the ninja came back to the Commissioner's office, Jimmy comes in to report on a riot in Kryptarium Prison, but it turns out it's only a video recording. While they are there, they visit Killow, but they are bored with his painting (a dog holding a dynamite stick) and leave. 
Throughout the day, the ninja perform tasks that do not require fighting such as saving a cat, cleaning the police station, and sorting documents. Even when the ninja tried to save people such as the bank robbery, they realize it was all part of a movie. 
By the time the ninja returned to the Monastery of Spinjitzu, they got tired and papercuts from the day's work and agree to tell nobody about what they did. However, unbeknownst to the ninja, Wu had heard of what happened, due to them talking out loud, and he silently expressed disappointment over their inability to find their own quest. When Kai turns on the news, Gayle Gossip is reporting on an pyramid in the Desert of Doom. When she interviews Clutch Powers, an archeologist who found the pyramid, he talks about not wanting to go inside the pyramid because of booby traps and tells Gossip that only a ninja can venture inside. This gives Lloyd the idea that the ninja should venture inside the pyramid to get into shape.
After Gayle is complete with her report, the camera zooms onto an ancient tablet depicting a Serpentine similar to the one from Zane's vision.

==Trivia==
*Narrator: Lloyd
**It is the first time Lloyd says the title card since "True Potential."
*Whereas "Endings" was the 100th episode produced counting the unnumbered pilots, this is the numerical 100th episode.
*The movie director in this episode looks very similar to Steven Spielberg.
===Continuity===
*The actors of the bank robbers look almost exactly like the henchmen, even using the same bats as weapons.
*Kai asks the Police Commissioner, "And how is it that you're always working on that model ship, and never make any progress?" This may be a reference to the "floating timeline" nature of the show and many other animated series.
*Killow makes his first appearance since "The Weekend Drill."
**This episode also reveals that he is good at painting, and has seemed to become slightly less evil, having talked to the ninja in a more friendly tone.
*This is Clutch Powers first appearance in the series. He was previously mentioned in "The Royal Blacksmiths," over seven years earlier.
*The Police Commissioner asking about "lava zombies" may have been foreshadowing the Pyro Vipers, as they too are mummified that are connected to the element of Fire.
===Errors===
*There are some scenes throughout where the tassel on Lloyd's sword is stiff.
*It is unknown why Nya would suggest Master Chen as a villain the ninja could face when she knows he is in the Departed Realm. However, it is possible that she could have forgot.
*When the prisoner says "Shhh" his mouth does not move.
*Zane's eyes aren't glowing when the ninja rescue the cat on the tree.
*Zane (a Nindroid made of titanium alloy) is shown to have paper cuts. This is a bit of a bad example since later in "The Explorers Club," Cecil's blowdart deflected off his face without making a scratch.
*When all the ninja say "Ninjago" towards the end of the episode, Zane's mouth does not move.
*When the TV first turns on, Nya, Cole, and Jay are without their injuries. 
**Also, after Clutch Powers refused to enter the pyramid, Kai can be seen without his bandage. However, it appears in the next scene.
*In the credits, Garry Chalk is misspelled "Gary Chalk," and the prune juice salesman is not credited.
