Code Lyoko S4 E27

## Plot

Tamiya and Milly got ahold of an embarrassing picture of Yumi, and put it in the paper. They tell her that one of her friends gave it to them, and that "he's" in the rec room. The source is Odd. Milly calls him and warns him. He asks Ulrich to bail him out and say it was him. He knows he's gonna regret this, especially since he doesn't know what Odd did, but he agrees. It's a picture of a young Yumi, presumably on Halloween or something, dressed up in a pink princess outfit, glasses, and a blond wig. Sissi makes fun of her. Yumi is more pissed off than we've ever seen her before, and that's saying something. She threatens to give Sissi a black eye, and tell Delmas all the pranks Odd's ever pulled in the past two years. Ulrich takes the fall for him. She asks him why he did it, and he says he doesn't know. She's literally burning red with anger and embarrassment, and tells him to never talk to her again. This is a really bad time for the group to be falling apart, because Jeremie and Aelita discovered another Replika. Flash forward to the entire team in the Skid, at an Ice Replika. Yumi refuses to be teleported with Ulrich. He tells Odd that he changed his mind, but Jeremie teleports Odd and Yumi to a scientific research outpost in Siberia. Ulrich thinks the only way to get back on Yumi's good side is to tell her the truth. Of course, then she'll be pissed at Odd. She tells him that the prank was mean and nasty, and doesn't think she can call Ulrich a friend anymore. XANA activates a tower… and William is teleported to the base. He looks as cool in 2D as he does is 3D. Aelita and Ulrich have to deactivate the tower. In true anticlimactic fashion, Yumi and Odd easily defeat William, and lock him in a room. Aelita and Ulrich are attacked by a Megatank. It destroys Ulrich's Overbike, and he hitches a ride with Aelita on the Overwing. She easily destroys the monster. Come to think of it, why isn't Aelita using her wings, like in the last episode? Two Tarantulas at the tower devirtualize the Overwing. William breaks out of the room, and goes after Yumi and Odd. They enter a room to hide in, and find brains in tubes. Ew! Ulrich and Aelita easily destroy the two Tarantulas, and Aelita enters the tower. I think all this goes to show just how far the kids have come in their teamwork, coordination, and fighting prowess. I'm not saying that fighting XANA is suddenly easy, but it's slowly getting easier, and he knows it. He needs to throw something new at them. William finds Yumi and Odd. Before Aelita deactivates the tower, she realizes something. If this tower commands William's teleportation, then the interface must contain the protocols and programs that XANA uses to control him. Which means that if they can hack into the data, they could find a way to finally free William. This means that Yumi and Odd will have to fight him a little while longer though, and Odd is out of ammo. Luckily, Aelita enters the code before either one of them are struck down. However, this means he's teleported back to the Replika, and he makes a beeline for the Skid. He can't enter Code: XANA into the tower, or the mission will be ruined. Jeremie gives Ulrich and Aelita the Overboard. Ulrich says he'll take care of it, because now he knows how to use it. No, you don't! Just let Aelita drive! Or let her use her wings. Yumi asks Odd why Ulrich did it. He suggests that maybe he wanted her to notice him. Is that really how boys act with girls they like? That's what my mom always told me, and regardless of whether or not it was true, it's really, really, stupid. Boys, have some empathy! Nobody *likes* being embarrassed! And why would they? If anything, the girl will notice you, but she'll hate you, especially if she can and will hold a grudge. I speak from personal experience. Anyways, Yumi points out that that's a weird way to do it. Aelita and Ulrich easily cause William to disappear. However, XANA is consolidating the power from all the Replikas. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking, and we meet our newest monster, the Kolossus. It's ginormous, and they don't know how to get rid of it. Their weapons and powers are useless against it. They try running, but it brutally devirtualizes them with its giant sword hand. It could destroy the Skid in one hit. They have no choice but to abort the mission. Jeremie brings Odd and Yumi back to the Skid, and they see the new monster. Oh, so *now* they're conscious when they're teleported back? Jeremie remotely pilots the Skid out of there. When the monster touched and bent the tower, it turned red, and then back to white when it let go. Back at the factory, Odd decides to call it the Kolossus. They have to change their strategy. XANA has infected hundreds of supercomputers all over the world, and they'll never be able to destroy them all one at a time, even without the giant new monster. They decide to call it a night. Ulrich wants Odd to tell Yumi the truth about the photo, but he refuses. He's about to tell Yumi anyways, but then she tells him that he doesn't have to do something dumb to get her attention, and kisses him on the forehead. When she gets to her house though, she gets a call from Odd, who tells her the truth. Now she's mad at both of them, and gets her revenge by putting an embarrassing photo of them in the paper.
