Ninjago S4 E4

## Plot

We finally learn that Skylor is the elemental master of amber. She's fighting Jacob, the master of sound. Jay wonders if they should be sitting with the other elemental masters. The more they think they're a team, the bigger target they put on themselves. Lloyd says that they are a team. They're just smaller since they lost Cole and still can't find Zane. Garmadon tells them that Skylor is the master of amber, the element of absorption. She can emulate the power of anyone she's touched. Okay, but does that go for anyone, or just other elemental powers? Skylor wins, and Jacob is eliminated. According to the bracket, Jay has to fight her next. Chen punishes everyone because Jay and Cole didn't fight, which makes everyone else mad at the ninja. Their rooms are taken away, and everyone has to sleep together that night in the chow house. They're not here to make new friends, just to save their own. But their exclusion of others has only made enemies. Garmadon gives them the golden rule that most people seem to forget once they reach adulthood: Treat others the way you want to be treated, because they'll treat you the same. Cole's powers and cool gi have sadly been taken away, including his super strength. They take him to the noodle factory. The one rule is no eating the merchandise. Cole loves to eat though. He meets Karlof. He tells him not to make trouble. Jacob doesn't like following the rules. He's blind, which makes him being the master of sound ridiculously appropriate. He plans on breaking out as soon as possible. Karlof tells him that even if he makes it past the guards, there's still the labyrinth with the giant snake. Nya is following the noodle trucks to see where they go, and is informing Wu of her progress. Her car can transform into other cars. Cool. Lloyd, Jay, and Kai are about to search for Cole and Zane, but everyone is woken up by Clouse. They're forced to wear roller skates. Jay is good at it. Kai is not. Only two of them will be fighting, but the rest of them can help whoever they want. Lloyd will fight the master of form. She can look like anyone else, and trick them into revealing all of their secrets. Lloyd accidentally reveals to her that the bed gave him a sore back when he thought he was talking to Kai. Her name is Camille. Jacob attempts to escape, and Cole and Karlof watch him. He's caught by Clouse though. Cole tried to warn him, but Karlof stopped him. Clouse decides to make an example of him and orders him to be fed to his pet serpent. Lloyd is called the master of power. He and Camille will compete in a game called Thunderblade. They're both given Jade Blades. Every time they complete a lap with their blade, they get a point. They have fourteen minutes to earn more points than their opponent. The others can help, or hurt, whoever they want. Naturally, everyone but the ninja pick Camille over Lloyd. He's the most powerful after all. Skylor tries to convince Kai to turn against him. He refuses, saying he'd never think of it. Lloyd can't use his power on roller skates, because he'd never stay on the track. Kai can't help because he can't skate. Dareth runs into Nya and decides to come along. Nya's reaction is the same as mine. However, she doesn't have much of a choice if she wants to get on the boat. Clouse says that there was once a time when Garmadon was comfortable with lying, and that it worked on Misako. Oh, snap! Lloyd loses his blade, and the master of shadow takes it. Jay gets it back to him. The master of poison, Tox, launches a poison cloud at them. They avoid it, but Kai isn't so lucky. Chen releases a buggy. Everyone wants Lloyd out, including him. There are four minutes left on the clock. Camille is leading, eight to five. Turner made Jay fall into Lloyd, but it fixed his back. Skylor thinks that Kai decided to turn on Lloyd, and says that he'll never suspect it. Kai uses his powers to speed himself up. He can't skate, but that doesn't mean he can't help. He gets Camille to let go of the buggy, and she loses her blade. Jay takes it. They realize that Garmadon is right. The more they exclude everyone, the more they're ganged up on. They need to make friends. They consider telling them about Chen's plan. Then the others might help them. Jay and Kai tell the others what they've found out so far. Lloyd says that it's never too late to do the right thing. Neuro confirms that they're telling the truth. They ask him why he's deciding to only help them now. He prefers to be on the winning team. Kai and Skylor take the buggy and give it to Lloyd. Nothing Chen does can stop him. However, when he tries to get Camille to help them all win, she pulls him out of the buggy. Clouse tries to use his magic, but Garmadon stops him. Skylor uses gravity powers to stop the henchmen from changing Lloyd's score. It's twelve to twelve. Camille crosses the line first, but she didn't have her blade. Lloyd wins. Chen loses it and throws a tantrum, saying that Lloyd cheated, so he loses. Turner says that Lloyd won fairly, and he was the one who cheated. It's Chen's tournament, so it's his rules. Mr. Pale asks what those rules are. If Lloyd's out, then he is too. So is everyone else. If he kicks them all out, then it's not much of a tournament. Pragmatically speaking, that would be the best thing to do to move forward with his plan as quickly as possible. But as I've said before, Chen is a psychotic, lying, annoying, irritating man child. Why do people work for him willingly again? Anyways, he wants all of their powers, but he wants to have fun while doing so, hence the tournament. When he says that only one can remain, he means himself. Skylor tells Kai that if what he said is true, then he's playing a dangerous game. Chen will find other ways to kick them out of the tournament. Which is why they'll need all the friends they can get. There's always hope. While walking along and chained to each other, Cole passes by Zane's cell and hears his voice. The new chains are unbreakable. Despite Karlof telling him not to make trouble, he covers for Cole. He's overjoyed to see Zane alive, even if it is in a new titanium body. He promises to get them both out of here. Meanwhile, Nya and Dareth reach Chen's Island. The team was separated, but they're coming back together.
