Ninjago S9 E6

## Plot

The Iron Baron and the rest of the Dragon Hunters find the two that Faith and the guys tied up at the end of the previous episode. They find out what direction they went in and how far they are ahead of them. Iron Baron orders everyone to hunt them down. One female named Jet Jack seems especially eager to take down Heavy Metal. Back in Ninjago, Mistaké freaks the others out again when she changes her face into Master Wu's. She's an Oni. She crossed over into Ninjago in pursuit of the First Spinjitzu Master. Her mission was to either turn him to their side, or destroy him. He wouldn't turn, and she fell in love with this world he created. Her fellow Oni wanted to complete their mission, but she turned on them, and has helped the First Spinjitzu Master ever since. Master Wu and Garmadon have lived so long because of their Oni blood. Lloyd asks why he can't transform if he's part Oni. Mistaké says he's been doing it all his life. From a bratty child, to the destined Green Ninja, and now the leader of the resistance. To endure his father though, he has to transform again. She tells him to have faith, and he'll figure it out. The other elemental masters and members of the resistance are in prison. It's a very short scene. Misako tells Ronin that her son will figure this out. This is the last time we see them until the season finale. Garmadon never returned after Lloyd got away. Harumi tells Killow and Ultra Violet to find the Green Ninja, and she'll find Garmadon. Cole tells Wu that he'll eventually have to tell Faith that he doesn't know where the Dragon Armor is. It's hard to admit when you're wrong, but it's harder to do what's right, and Wu never taught them to take the easier path. He may have faith, but he also has a responsibility to tell her the truth. Their conversation is interrupted by the Hunters catching up to them. Their admittedly cool chase scene ends up disturbing an ice dragon, which leads to an incredibly detailed canyon, and Faith is able to wrap it in chains. Wu and Cole get rid of Jet Jack, but don't notice a tracking device on their vehicle. They come across dragon skulls on pikes. This is Oni land, but Wu says that the Dragon Armor is that way. When Iron Baron and a team of his crossed the line to get the Dragon Blade that Faith has, he was the only one to come back. Harumi finds Garmadon at the destroyed palace, where he was resurrected. He's upset that he hesitated when he had the chance to kill Lloyd. He saw things in the Departed Realm that frightened him. If Ninjago is to survive, he has to be stronger. She tells him that to be truly free of who he was, he has to let go of his feelings. She admits that she feels like a daughter to him, and he adopts her. Aw! How is this so sweet and sad and nightmare fueled all at the same time? When did this show start igniting feelings like this in me? Also, oh my god, the music, the score. The composers deserve *all* the awards. Garmadon tells Harumi to find Lloyd so *they* can kill him. Faith and the guys find a gate to an Oni stronghold, but it's open. No one has lived there in centuries. Faith realizes that the Iron Baron lied to everyone about the Oni. No one has ever seen one because they're not here anymore. He used fear to control the hunters. She asks Wu if there really is any Dragon Armor, and he finally admits that he doesn't know. He still believes that they'll find it though. Cole tells him that he knows that must've been hard, but it's better to tell the truth than to carry on a lie. Jay says that even if they never get home, the least they can do is raise him to be the kind of person he raised them to be. They see that the inside of the gate is a map to the Dragon Armor. It's in the nest of the Firstbourne. Harumi and the SoG show up to search for Lloyd, who decides to stop running and change things up. They see him in his ninja outfit and follow him. Nya subtly uses her powers to separate Killow from the others. "Lloyd" was actually Mistaké using her shapeshifting powers, and Skylor beats up two henchmen. Harumi is separated from all her followers and is surrounded by Lloyd, Nya, Mistaké, Skylor, and Dareth. Lloyd tells her that those who cannot change themselves cannot change anything. She took his friends, so he took hers.
