## Synopsis

Short Description
Jolted from mystic-meditation, Monkey King is convinced he's his younger self! When Tang is kidnapped, it's Young Monkey King and Pigsy to the rescue!

Extended
When a demon attacks, Tang and Pigsy know their only choice is to wake Monkey King from his mystic meditation. Monkey King scares off the demon, but now thinks he's his younger self! When the demon kidnaps Tang, it's up to Pigsy and Young Monkey King to rescue their friend. Meanwhile, Tang wakes up in the castle of a beautiful Queen who 'rescued him from the demon'. Tang isn't buying it...

## Plot

As the demon continued to attack the T.E.A., Tang begins to panic as Monkey King continues his meditation. Pigsy, however, gives Monkey King the Chaos Ultra Ghost Pepper of Doom to wake him up from his meditation, despite knowing that he wasn't supposed to. Once the pepper was given to him, Monkey King wakes up and goes out to face the demon, only to find out that it already left. Shorty after, Monkey King began to call Tang and Pigsy Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie respectively. Tang realized that because Pigsy interrupted Monkey King from his meditation, he thinks that he's his younger self, and thinks that the others are the pilgrims from the journey to the West. Pigsy considered hitting Monkey King on the head to bring his memories back, but ended up getting into an argument with Monkey King after being called a piglet. During the argument, Tang gets kidnapped by the demon from earlier, and Monkey King and Pigsy go out to save him.

Tang wakes up inside a castle with a woman, who claims herself to be a beautiful queen that rescued him from the demon. Tang doesn't buy it and prepares to leave, but the woman prevents him by offering food. Meanwhile, Pigsy, Monkey King, and Mo continue to look for Tang. During the search, Monkey King claims that they need to talk to Tudi, saying that they need to talk to him to find out what type of demon they're dealing with. After calling Tudi, Monkey King spent the rest of the night talking to him, and later told Pigsy that the demon that kidnapped Tang is in her castle, which was right next to them the whole time.

## Trivia

* This is the first episode in which MK does not appear.
* The scene where Monkey King bursts through the wall of the Scorpion Queen's castle may be a reference to Overly Sarcastic Productions Journey To The West summary series, which has a running gag where Monkey King smashes through the walls of the various demons he fights.
	+ Apparently, some of the Monkie Kid crew members watched this series to prep.
* Monkey King saying that Pigsy will become a “steamed ham” if Tang gives him the word could possibly be a reference to Season 7, Episode 21 of *The Simpsons* where Principal Skinner claims he calls hamburgers steamed hams.

## Errors

* The original English audio track was left in on the left audio channel by accident when the Korean dub of the episode was first uploaded to LEGO's YouTube channel on April 24, 2022. This was fixed the next day.
