Code Lyoko S4 E24

Oh my gosh you guys! The 1,000th page on this wiki! Quadruple digits! I'm so proud of myself! I never thought I'd make it this far, but my love inspires me to pick myself back up and keep at it, whether it's easy or hard; whether it's Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney; whether it's Code Lyoko, Winx Club, or Elena of Avalor. I'll be sad when I'm finally done writing for this show, but I think I'll also be relieved that I can move on to something else, like Beyblade, Snow White with the Red Hair, or The iDOLM@STER. Yes, I know those all happen to be anime, but don't expect much else after that.

## Plot

Tonight is Aelita's big concert with the Subdigitals. She's giving all of her friends a ticket, but Odd needs two for a girl. I love the music that plays during this episode. They use part of two songs from the *Code Lyoko Featuring Subdigitals CD*. Yes, that's really a thing, like this is an idol show from Japan or something. I guess the team does use Nokia phones, which were more advanced than American ones at the time. The songs are *Planet Net* and *Break Away*, which plays during the climax of the episode. I like them both, even if mid 2000s music isn't really my thing, and it's sometimes hard to hear the lyrics over the voice acting and sound effects. *Angel of Mine* is probably my favorite one, since it's obviously about Jeremie's feelings towards Aelita. Speaking of which, Jeremie heads to his room to work on a new program to locate Replikas. Aelita is nervous about tonight. Milly and Tamiya have been hassling her to agree to an exclusive interview. She goes to Jeremie's room for his support, but he reveals that he has to finish his program first, so he might be late. She's hurt by what he says, and leaves, telling him that he can always give his ticket to someone else if he can't find the time to come. It took me so many re-watches to notice this, but after she leaves, there are tears in her eyes. Aw! My poor girl has stage fright and relationship problems! Sissi agrees to give Odd an extra ticket, but only if he can convince Ulrich to go with her and not Yumi. That night, everyone surprises Aelita in her dressing room and wishes her luck… except Jeremie, who isn't there yet, but the others claim that they lost him in the crowd. They meet Odd's date, Kelly. Sissi takes the extra ticket back though, and everyone finds out about the deal he made. Milly and Tamiya come into Aelita's dressing room to interview her. Sophie, the manager for the Subdigitals, tells Aelita that she's on in just two minutes, and that Milly and Tamiya have to leave. XANA activates a tower in the Mountain Sector. Yumi calls Jeremie, who realizes that he's super late for the concert. He still wants to run another calculation though. Before he can, he gets the alert for the tower. Sophie is possessed and knocks Aelita out. She tells Chris that Aelita doesn't feel well and can't do the concert, so they'll have to go on without her. *We're a new generation Surfin' on the web all night and day Always a celebration Cause when I'm online, it's time to play We can travel around the world Share other family's daily life For this world is no longer round In every corner I find friends of mine Such good friends, till the end We're goin' live, we're surfin' to these vibes One brave new world To be uncoiled Are you there? I've got a message to send Are you there? I wanna find a brand new friend* Jeremie tells the others about the activated tower, and tells them to investigate. They try to go after Sophie, but it turns out that Milly and Tamiya are also possessed. Ulrich distracts them while Yumi and Odd head after Sophie. At the factory, Jeremie attempts to jump on her, but he's as useless in a fight as he always is. I would've gone down to the lab and locked the elevator into place, even if there are other ways to get there. Sophie virtualizes an unconscious Aelita onto the Mountain Sector. Once she's there, she wakes up and sees the activated tower. She's also surrounded by a Kankrelat and a Blok. Seriously though, why would XANA virtualize her right next to the activated tower that's letting him possess three people right now? That's so stupid! Virtualize her to an entirely different sector, or at least as far away from the tower as possible! Yumi and Odd arrive at the factory, and fail to see an unconscious Jeremie, who starts waking up. Aelita tries to fly away, but she's shot by either the Blok, or a Manta that shows up. Odd and Yumi attack Sophie, and Jeremie enters the lab. I love the running gag in this episode of Yumi and Odd calling out their random combo attacks. Aelita is holding up as best she can, and Jeremie apologizes for not showing up at the concert. And then William shows up on another Manta. Sophie has been tied up with rope, and she's unconscious for now. I don't care if this is below an abandoned factory, it's still abandoned. Where did Jeremie get the rope? Yes, I know it was on the ground next to him, and he also had it when he came down in the elevator, but still, aside from the ropes that they use to swing down to the floor, what other ropes could possibly be in a place that's been abandoned for at least a decade, if not more? And while they did have to deal with that motorcycle gang at one point, the only person who has ever squatted here is Jim, and that was erased by an RTTP. Anyway, Jeremie virtualizes Yumi and Odd, and brings up their vehicles to help them reach Aelita. Sophie wakes up, gets out of the rope, and knocks him out offscreen. She gets rid of the vehicles. Ulrich deflects Tamiya's lightning with a mirror. William and Yumi devirtualize each other. *They told me that I was no good at all such a waster And, suddenly I was out of the cool Stuck with the fools Not much that I can do I'm out of the crew Here the lights go out What should I do? Stuck to this chair and yet I know Gotta break away Here and now today Here I am, as I stand I can feel you think Such a waster It's okay, I don't care Didn't wanna stay Stuck with the fools Skating down Park Avenue I realize my time is now and here Ready to go Being sensible is just not sensible* *Gotta break away It's not my style and I gotta get away We're in it all the way* Aelita and Odd head to the tower. Jeremie wakes up again, and Sophie gets ready to kill him. Aelita deactivates the tower, saving him and Ulrich. He launches an RTTP, even though it's not technically necessary, probably to make it up to Aelita and make sure she gets to do the concert this time. This time, he shows up at the concert and talks to Aelita in her dressing room. She's gotten over her stage fright, since she's already been here before. Not to mention that stage fright is nothing compared to XANA, and if they can beat him, then they can do anything. Those are my words, not hers, but I guarantee she would say them. She apologizes for blowing up at Jeremie, even if I find her reaction to be totally understandable. At least Jeremie also apologizes for missing the concert the first time. Aelita performs, and everyone loves her, even Sissi, who was mean to her earlier in the episode.
