Ninjago S6 E1

## Plot

We open with the guys fighting skeletons. Samukai shows up, but he's defeated by an energy blast from Lloyd. I love their new outfits! It turns out that they're shooting a commercial about reading. Dareth is their agent/manager. After season 5, the ninja have gained newfound fame. Like, a lot of fame. Nya is surprised that filming has already wrapped, saying that she just arrived. Dareth wants her to shoot a different segment about teaching girls how to apply makeup. He acts surprisingly sexist towards her for no reason at all other than to be a douchebag. Despite knowing that she's now a ninja with magical powers, therefore she can kick his ass even harder than she could have before as Samurai X, and that she doesn't like makeup? Jay says that there's no reason for her to be treated any differently than the rest of them. Dareth says that the boys are the "face of the franchise" though, and adding a girl hurts their image. Asshole. Cole notes that the stuff in a magazine about them is false, saying that the stuff between him and Jay fighting over Nya has been over for awhile now. Lloyd isn't a master yet, but a master in training. They constantly have to avoid fangirls and the media. There's quite a few drawbacks to being famous. Back on the Bounty, Wu is teaching Cole about his new ghost abilities. He discovers that he can turn invisible, which is the real reason why he didn't have a reflection in the maze. Nya is letting her anger out on the sparring bots. Jay still hasn't told Cole about seeing himself ending up with Nya in the maze, but he has told Zane. He thinks that it'll ruin their friendship. Plus, Nya said so herself that she won't end up with Jay or Cole. Misako talks to Nya. Yes, she's a girl, but she's also a lot of other things. But why does it matter when people only see her as one thing, the girl ninja. Misako tells her that the harder it is, the more she'll excel. You'll never be happy if you let the world define you. You've got to define yourself. They're informed by Wu that there's trouble. When the Cursed Realm was destroyed, one ghost escaped: Clouse. He bought a train ticket to Stiix, and will arrive in just a few hours. They wonder why he's heading there, since the place is just a salvage yard now. They head there, even though they were supposed to visit a kid in the hospital for the Grant A Wish Foundation. His wish was to meet the ninja and be an honorary one for a day. Lloyd says that that day can be tomorrow. Nya now has her own elemental dragon. Since they've got time, they decide to visit the kid, Nelson, in the hospital anyways and sign his cast. The fangirls and media found them though, so now they might not get to Stiix in time. They can't fly away on their dragons because of the news helicopters. Nelson takes them to the stairs that lead to the roof, and blocks the door from the fangirls. He's the honorary purple ninja. At this rate, they're going to run out of colors. The nearest rooftop is too far to jump. They could try airjitzu, but Nya hasn't learned it yet. The guys use it to take cover behind a billboard from the media. Jay offers his hand to Nya, but she refuses, saying that she can take care of herself, wants to know what he meant by "we," and says that she's nobody's girl. This leads to them being spotted. This means that they can't stop Clouse. The guys jump in a helicopter with Dareth to get to Stiix. Clouse finds what he's looking for: The Teapot of Tyrahn. He frees a being trapped inside: Nadakhan, a djinn, a.k.a. a genie. Clouse has three wishes. He wishes for his book of spells, but it catches on fire and turns to ash, since that was what last happened to it. He wishes to become mortal again, but the process is painful. Nadakhan tricks him into wishing to make the pain go away, with the wording allowing him to trap Clouse in the teapot. The ninja have finally arrived in Stiix, but can't find Clouse. In the city, Nadakhan learns that his ship, Misfortune's Keep, was destroyed by Captain Soto and the crew of the Destiny's Bounty. The other members of his crew were trapped in separate realms. He learns about the Realm Crystal, and asks which realm Dilara is in. They were in love, and he learns that she died shortly after he was imprisoned. He learns that Wu and the ninja protect the Realm Crystal, and asks how to find them. In Stiix, the ninja learn that they're being framed for crimes they didn't commit. They're chased by citizens and local law enforcement. Misako tries to pick them up in the Bounty, but it's taken down. They have to split up to escape. Jay points out that bad things happen when they split up, like Chen's island, Yang's temple, and Morro's possession. They have no choice though. At the Domu library, Wu has been searching for what Clouse could be looking for. He finds a book about the teapot that says be careful what you wish for. He's confronted by Nadakhan.
