Ninjago S2 E8

## Plot

Skales is made leader of the Serpentine. He decides to burrow under the city to bury the humans like they once buried them. Lloyd is getting even better, now able to fight all four ninja with his eyes literally closed. It's revealed that Wu has an old photo of himself, Misako, and Garmadon under his hat. Aw! Misako catches him. The photo was from before Garmadon was fully evil. He had red eyes and pale skin though. She brought her research of the prophecy over. She was in a love triangle between Wu and Garmadon, and says that she should've chosen Wu. Whoa! I'm glad Lloyd's not around to hear that! So, indirectly, she wishes that Lloyd, at least the way he is now, had never existed? You are a terrible mother! Not Raven terrible, but you're toeing the line, and it worries me! Anyways, the two could always have the future together. Please spare me the thought of a brother and sister in law doing anything romantic with each other. An earthquake rocks Ninjago City. It's an unnatural cause though, because the aftershocks are getting stronger. They suspect it's Garmadon, but Misako and Wu point out that he would never do something to put his son in harm's way. Zane sends the falcon out to scout for signs of danger. Meanwhile, the Serpentine are going through with their plan. They hit something they can't dig through. The Overlord is instructing Garmadon to get to the top of a cliff. The ninja are rescuing people during the earthquakes. Misako's scrolls said that the earthquakes would be a warning for something far worse to come. It's revealed that the previous episode took place yesterday. Misako found that Stone Warrior buried under the city. Skales presses a button that opens the tomb up. There's at least hundreds of stone warriors inside, though they're all a lot smaller than the first one. The Great Devourer venom brings them to life, and they seal the Serpentine inside the tomb, trapping them underground once more. They get above ground and start causing mayhem. The falcon sees them. The mayor has called for a massive evacuation of the city. They're evacuating people in the Bounty, but Nya can't find a safe place to land. She lands on a TV office building's helipad. Higher ground advantage and all that. Things just keep looking more desperate and bleak for our heroes as the episode goes on. Garmadon reaches the top of the cliff. There, he finds the Celestial Clock, created to count down to the final battle. Right now, the hands are frozen. It will start when Garmadon takes the Helmet of Shadows, which will also controls the Stone Army. He takes the helmet, and the clock starts. Misako is shoved and loses her research, but she doesn't notice. The ninja try to buy as much time as they can for the evacuation. Misako realizes that she lost her research and goes back for it, against the advice of Lloyd. She sees it stuck to a light fixture. They have to leave ASAP, because they lost one of their boosters. Lloyd insists that they have to wait for his mom. Wu goes back to get her, and the Bounty takes off. She gets her research and is saved by Wu. She knows Spinjitzu too, and they kick Stone Warrior butt together. They jump out the window. Luckily, the Bounty catches them, which they weren't expecting. Wu loses the picture. Misako caught his hat though. They exchange each other's quotes from the beginning of the episode. The past is the past, but there's always the future. However, given that the stone warriors are still destroying the city and Garmadon says that he's back, that doesn't seem likely.
