Ninjago S14 E10

## Plot

Glutinous arrives in the throne room and tells Kalmaar that based on the sub's last known course and what Nya said, the island of the Keepers is in the Storm Belt. Maya and Nya tell the others what they saw in the temple. The amulets fit into Wojira's head. The Merlopians were zapping the serpent with electricity, which caused Nya's powers to go haywire. Now that they're no longer doing that though, she has control again. They reach the island of the Keepers. Zippy makes a brief, silent cameo. They tell Mammatus that they can't defend the amulet against Kalmaar and his army. The best way to protect it is to hand it over to them, and they'll get it as far away as possible. Mammatus agrees and asks Nya to swear to defend the Storm Amulet, and she does. However, Zane scans it and compares it to the previous scan he has of the amulet. It's a fake. Clutch Powers stole the real one, so it must be at the Explorers' Club. They get back to the sub, contact Cole, and tell him to go to Ninjago City with the others and secure the real amulet. And then Kalmaar and Gripe appear right behind them. They try to trick them by giving them the fake amulet, but Kalmaar heard their transmission. He takes the fake anyways, blasts the controls to strand them there, and leaves for Ninjago City. He tells them that as much as he'd enjoy blasting them, he's leaving them alive to live with their failure, so they can know that everything that follows is their fault. He'd never know the location of the real Storm Amulet if it wasn't for them. Nya tries to go after him, but she can't breathe underwater, and he gets away. But she has a rebreather. Then again, she could've left it on the sub, or simply forgotten about it, and she probably wouldn't have been able to catch up anyways, even with her powers. Zane puts out the fire with his powers, but he and Pixal can't fix the controls. Nya thinks that Kalmaar was right. She messed everything up. Without her, none of this would've happened. Maya tells her that when she first came here, she thought it was to help her. But the more she watched her, the more time she spent with her, the more she realized that her daughter doesn't need her help. She's the better elemental master. Maya knows that she'll find a way to get them out of here. We finally see what the land group is up to. Wu is watching Kai and Ray spar, but he's more interested in how Ray would react to Kai throwing a fireball at him. Cole finds them and repeats what the others told him about the real Storm Amulet. In contrast to what literally just happened in the previous episode, Nya keeps blaming herself in episode 10, as if her mother's pep talk never happened. Zane confirms yet again that the controls are beyond repair. Bentho asks Nya why she can't just use her elemental powers to summon whales and have them pull the sub. It's revealed that the first elemental master of water was named Nyad, and Maya and Ray named Nya after her. Nya tries it, and is able to summon little fish. Meanwhile, the others go to the Explorers' Club with Misako to get the amulet, but Cecil is his usual overly bureaucratic self and won't let them in. Misako points out that non-members can be let in if they pass a trial by sphinx. There's a sphinx statue in the floor, and if they answer the riddle correctly, they can be let in. Ex-members aren't allowed to participate, so they have three guesses, one for each person, even though Ray is also there and should have a chance as well. "Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die. Who am I?" Cole guesses cake and Wu guesses discipline, but they're both wrong. Kai says it's fire, and he's obviously right. They get in and ask Clutch for the amulet… and then the wall behind him explodes, thanks to Kalmaar and his soldiers. Clutch runs away while the others fight the Merlopians. Even the other members of the club briefly get in on the action. Ray and Misako help as well, and Wu has an extended one on one fight with Kalmaar. I think this is the first time we've seen him in an extended fight since… oh jeez. In season 7 against Acronix? Or in season 11 against Aspheera and her army, or the ninja? Either way, it's been awhile since we've seen him fight by himself, and not on a dragon. Meanwhile, Nya still hasn't summoned whales. She gets frustrated, blames herself again, and yells into the water. The others point out that because of that, she was able to summon whales after all.
