Legends of Chima S1 E14

## Plot

I decided to skip to the more important episodes that impact the main plot more. Okay, so in episode 4, Laval and Eris met the beaver tribe and stopped another one of Cragger and Crooler's plots to steal all the chi. There was a long tracking "camera" shot of Laval and Cragger fighting as they ran up a dam. It was amazing. Episode 5 was filler, but it ended with Crooler and Cragger looking over plans to attack the eagles, which happened in episode 6. Episode 8 introduced a talented Speedor racer/masked vigilante called ShadoWind, who keeps winning golden chi. No one knows who they really are. Crooler lost faith in Cragger in episode 10 and made a deal with the wolves instead to raid the lion temple. The wolves escaped, and Crooler actually showed genuine remorse for betraying her brother, who temporarily teamed up with Laval, Eris, and Rhogon to stop the wolves, who became the primary antagonists for a few episodes as they tried to be the ones to take over Chima and take all the chi for themselves, which threw Chima out of balance. Laval saved the crocodiles from the wolves when they were captured, including Cragger. Before that though, Crooler tried to convince him to forgive her by using the Persuader Plant, but it didn't work, since it wilted. This episode starts with the wolves continuing to try and steal chi from other tribes, but the lions showed up and stopped them. For the past few episodes, they tried using the eagles' jets to deliver the chi, but storms have forced them down. Now that Cragger is no longer under his sister's influence, he feels happy, and decides to give a gift to all the tribes in Chima. Crooler tries to get more Persuader plants, but they don't grow in the swamps anymore, because the ravens picked them clean years ago. Razar the raven says she can visit an alchemist, but his work is unpredictable. His name is Reagull. He's half raven, half eagle. Most tribes have one core stereotypical trait representing them. Beavers work, bears sleep, rhinos fight when they're happy, wolves are aggressive, ravens are greedy, eagles like books, lions like rules, etc. Anyways, Reagull calls the Persuader plant overgrown fungus. He can give Crooler something much more interesting, and shows her a green orb of chi. The lions are harvesting more orbs, but they don't have nearly enough to make up for all the chi stolen by the wolves. At this rate, Chima will be thrown out of balance, and everyone will suffer. Crooler shows Cragger that Reagull can make chi. Cragger isn't sure if it's as safe and powerful as the orbs at the lion temple, but before he can try it, Crooler has an underling use it instead. It makes him super strong. Crooler wants to use it to rule Chima, but Cragger wants to give it out to all the other tribes to make up for all the awful things he's done. He tells Razar that he got the chi from Reagull. Razar thought that Crooler was just going to him for a mind control plant. He didn't think he'd dump this on her. The ravens call it Reagull's Cheagle. It's fake chi. It works like normal for a short time, but the side effects eventually make whoever plugs it in act like a chicken. While trying to deliver chi, the lions are attacked by the wolves, but they're saved by the timely arrival of the eagles. Unfortunately, the wolves still managed to get away with half of their chi. Speaking of which, while celebrating, they learn that Cragger has more chi. Gorzan tells Laval and Eris that his tribe doesn't need more chi, and tells them that Cragger gave them some. Meanwhile, Cragger is yelling at Reagull for what he did. He knew what would happen. He says that nature is powerful, especially when it takes the form of a bird. He's been dreaming of this since the day he was born. His father was an eagle and his mother was a raven, but neither tribe ever wanted him. He tried changing his body to become more like them… by replacing some of his natural organic body parts with prosthetics. Holy shit. That's actually really dark, even if it's never outright said, because kid's show. He still can't even fly though, which doesn't make any sense to me, since ravens and eagles can both fly. His wings *are* different sizes. He created the fake chi to make everyone in Chima like him. They're supposed to obey his every command, but the affected crocodile continues to just act like a chicken. Crooler admits to her brother that she knew there might be some side effects, but they only last a day. They can still use the orbs to take over Chima. Cragger once again tells his sister that he just wants to make everyone happy, and decides to warn them before it's too late. Laval tells Gorzan that unless the orbs came from the sacred pool in the lion temple, they're not chi. One of the affected gorillas jumps from a tree to fly. Eris catches him, but he's too heavy, so Gorzan plugs in a real chi orb to save them. Meanwhile, all of the other tribes that received the fake chi are acting like chickens. Cragger takes back all of the fake chi. It's revealed that Rhogon is actually trying to fly because he's in love with Eris the eagle, and the next episode reveals that she secretly likes him too. Cragger runs into Laval, who worries that this is another crazy scheme of his to take over Chima. This isn't why he helped him escape from the wolves. Cragger tells him that he just wanted to do something good for a change. The orbs are a mistake. The side effects wear off in about a day, and he already collected all the unused orbs that he gave out. And then the wolves surround them and take the fake chi. They plan to attack the lion temple and take over all of Chima. Laval and Cragger trick them into plugging in the fake chi. Worriz saves his orb for when they take over the lion temple, but the others plug in their orbs right away, tie up Laval and Cragger, and head to the lion temple to attack. And then they all start acting like chickens. Eris, Laval, and Cragger get them back home. To make sure something like this never happens again, they banish Reagull into the Outlands. Now I'm *definitely* getting Lion King and Lion Guard vibes. The wolves finally stop stealing chi, and Laval and Cragger finally repair their friendship.
