Ninjago S4 E5

## Plot

Karlof notes how happy Cole is. He informs him that he found Zane and plans to bust him out. Karlof tells him that Chen has made it nearly impossible to escape though. Cole tells Karlof that Zane is basically a walking computer, and he wishes he had a friend like that. Cole puts a message in a fortune cookie to let the others know. Karlof wants in on the escape attempt if Cole succeeds. They hope that the message ends up in the right hands. Cole has to figure out how to get out of there. Dareth disguises Nya as a kabuki. She lampshades that he shouldn't have been able to change her clothes with a makeup kit. Eight of the sixteen contestants have been eliminated. They're having a feast full of bizarre food to celebrate making it to the second round. The master of shadow defeated the master of poison. Almost everyone is in a secret alliance against Chen. They need everyone on board though, because each fighter that loses gives Chen strength. Soon, he'll be too powerful for them all to defeat. Chen wants to read the fortunes in the fortune cookies, and grabs the one with Cole's message. Clouse takes it, and tells him that he's heard that the fighters have allied against him. The ninja told them about the ceremony. They think that they don't know about the spell yet, and they have to find a way to get ahead of this. The fortune cookie is sent back. Chen admits that he's stealing everyone's power for his staff. He claims that the last person standing in the tournament will win the staff and be the greatest fighter ever. Lloyd says that he's lying, and tips them off that they know about the spell. And that Neuro read Clouse's mind. Dang it Lloyd! Stop! You would be terrible at *Big Brother* and all those other stupid reality alliance manipulation backstabbing shows. Like *Amazing Race*, *Survivor*, *The Bachelor*, *The Bachelorette*, etc. Neuro claims to not remember what he saw. The others wonder if Lloyd is lying to get the staff for himself. Skylor gets Cole's message. Nya reveals herself to the others. She heard about what happened to Cole, and says it was big of both him and Jay. She tells them that Dareth is also on the island. They're in contact with Wu thanks to the mobile base. They tell her to look on page 149 of Clouse's spell book. It might be in his quarters. She informs them that they have a mole in their alliance, which is how Chen and Clouse found out about it. Skylor gives Cole's message to Kai. Lloyd thinks that the master of shadow is the spy. Cole intentionally breaks the no eating rule to get thrown back in his cell. It was all so he could take the keys from the guard. Zane has another dream about the dragon. It's sleeping this time. He gets out of his chains and sneaks past it. However, it wakes up and Zane falls. Cole wakes him up. They escape right away. The guard notices that his keys are missing and sounds the alarm. Nya finds the spell and takes the page. Clouse almost enters, but he's informed of the breach at the factory. He tells the guard to release his pet serpent. He notices the makeup left behind by Nya's kabuki disguise, but doesn't seem to suspect anything. Zane and Cole run into the serpent. They run into a dead end, but it's not a wall. It's part of the serpent's body. They keep running into more dead ends. The serpent's strategy is to surround them and coil inwards. Cole learns that Pixal is in Zane's head as she calculates escape scenarios. They learn more about what his new body can do, like activate explosive shurikens. YES! In Kai's room, everyone talks about the alliance and who the spy could be. No one leaves until they find out who it is. Neuro reads shadow's mind. He says that someone here isn't who they say they are. Skylor asks how they can trust him, and suggests using his power to see inside his head. The two almost get into a fight, which is what Chen wants. Everyone who's ever worked for Chen, like Garmadon, has the Anacondrai tattoo on their back. The spy would have the tattoo. Clouse tells Chen that someone has stolen the spell. He doesn't need the page to do it. If the ninja get it though, the fighters will know that they lied. Nya overhears them. Clouse realizes that they also have a spy in their midst, as a kabuki servant. The spy still has the page on her. Clouse asks the guards to search all the kabuki servants. However, they hear Dareth singing and playing music, because he accidentally activated the speakers on the mobile base. They think it's the spy. However, Clouse tells Nya to stay put. Before Skylor can show everyone her back, shadow disappears. He says that he's not their friend or the spy, and that the staff will be his. Lloyd tries to use his powers against him, but he disappears again. He escapes, and everyone thinks that shadow is the spy. Kai tries to apologize for asking Skylor to show them her back, since she showed them the fortune cookie. She shows him her back, which is as bare as the others. Their alliance is ruined. Clouse tells Chen that Jay is hurt. Nya hears this and is worried. He hurt his leg while trying to catch shadow. The ninja are weakening. Nothing has been found on the island… yet. They find Dareth, who drives away. However, he flips the car and almost falls off a cliff. He loudly contacts Nya, and everyone finds out that she's the spy, and she has the spell. She runs away. Zane and Cole have almost escaped, but Cole refuses to. He wants to go back for Karlof and the others. A ninja doesn't just save himself. He protects those who can't protect themselves. Aw! That's the whole reason why Zane was built in the first place! A ninja also never leaves another ninja's side. Zane goes back with him. Nya puts up an impressive fight without her Samurai X gear. It's a pity she didn't bring it in the mobile base. She has a lengthy and seriously amazing fight with Clouse, and barely escapes. He orders the guards to find her and the spell. The spy is revealed: Skylor, who used Camille's form powers. And the biggest surprise of all? Master Chen is her father. She tells him that Cole has the metal man, i.e. Zane. The ninja's time on the island is done. Tomorrow, they end the charade and break up them up forever.
