Ninjago S9 E7

## Plot

Nya suggests trying to trade Harumi for their friends in prison. Yes please, I want them back ASAP because everyone except Skylor was wasted during this season. Harumi tells Lloyd that his father cares more for her than him. He just says that his father only cares about power. He decides to hold onto her until she's valuable to them. They're keeping her in the freezer from the first episode. Skylor and Mistaké found the Mask of Hatred in her things. If Lloyd's elemental power doesn't return, the mask could help. Mistaké warns him that Oni power is dark magic. He shows the mask to Harumi, and knows it's a trap. He tells the others that the only reason someone as smart as her was captured is because she wanted to be. She tells him that he can never change. He doesn't have it in him to hurt his father. Oh trust me, he does, it's just the emotional kind, not the physical kind. She says they can't see how this ends because there is no happy ending. In the realm of oni and dragons, the hunters reach Oni land. They tell the Iron Baron that they're loyal to him, and they'll fight every last Oni if he orders them to. He tells them to cross the line. Faith teaches the guys how to chain things. Zane, being a nindroid, gets the hang of it quickly, but Wu is terrible at it. Faith says they're not stopping until everyone can do it. They're only as strong as their weakest link. Kai tells Wu that he needs confidence. There was a time when he didn't think he could be a ninja, but Wu pushed him to be better. Now he's pushing him. He knows Wu can do it, but what he thinks doesn't matter as much as whether or not Wu himself thinks that he can do it. He succeeds in chaining a rock, and they go after a dragon to see if he can ride it. He does, but the dragon breaks free of its chains and tosses him off. Faith catches him. Back in Ninjago, everyone is wearing their normal clothes again. So I guess that plot point about getting rid of anything that could identify them has also been discarded immediately because it ultimately meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. Yay… I swear, this season could've benefited from at least five more episodes. Lloyd is back in green, and tells the others that he's accepted that he may never get his powers back. He comes up with a plan to take control of the Colossus. Skylor will pretend to be a prisoner to get close enough to absorb Garmadon's power, and Mistaké will pretend to be Harumi. The hunters catch up to Faith and the guys. Jet Jack sees that "Heavy Metal" is a woman like her. The Iron Baron tells everyone that the first person to capture Faith will become his new second in command. He takes the Dragon Blade, and learns that Wu is the son of the first spinjitzu master. Faith and the guys commandeer the Dieselnaut and bring down Iron Baron's helicopter, but Faith is captured by Jet Jack while getting rid of the chains from the other vehicles chasing them. She sacrifices herself so the others can get away and get to the Dragon Armor, despite Wu saying that he needs her. Okay, so all throughout this journey of theirs, I've been getting this feeling that teenage Wu has a crush on Faith, which is weird, because of his relationship with Misako and the fact that he's going to age faster than normal until he's his original old age again. Don't worry, later on he treats Faith like a good friend, but nothing more. Back in Ninjago, Harumi escapes because Dareth was the one watching her. Why? I get watching her in shifts, but given her talent for manipulation, no one should be left alone with her. Mistaké and Skylor get to Garmadon, but Ultra Violet says that she has the power to absorb, and then the real Harumi shows up with Killow.
