Code Lyoko S4 E7

## Plot

Aelita, Yumi, and Ulrich are waiting for Odd when they see him talking to redheaded girl. They eventually meet up with him in the new rec room. He broke up with a girl he was dating, Melanie, which was the code name for the Skid before they had decided on a name. The redhead's name is Camille, and Odd says that she's different than all the other girls he's dated. They're going to see a romance film later that day. In Jeremie's room, he says that the last few offscreen XANA attacks have focused mostly on himself and Aelita, because they're the only ones who know how to run the supercomputer. Sure, the others have done it before, but mostly only while following their instructions on the phone. But if they were unable to get into contact with the others for any reason, XANA would win easily. This is why Jeremie has decided to give them the titular crash course on how to run the supercomputer that afternoon. None of them want to, since Odd has his date, Yumi has a test to study for, and Ulrich has Pencak Silat practice. Jeremie can't force them to come, but says that they shouldn't expect to gain ground on XANA if they don't. They reluctantly agree, saying that it isn't easy being heroes sometimes. Jeremie says that they'll meet at the computer lab after lunch, and if they pick it up quickly, they should still have time to do their other stuff. Or they could just abuse the Return to the Past feature to do it all, but they also know that it increases XANA's power every time they do it, at least when he was in the supercomputer. After the others leave, Aelita tells Jeremie that even she can't make it. She has an audition with the Subdigitals. It's the final round of tryouts today, and the winner will be the opening act of their next concert. Oh my gosh, a continuing subplot from a previous episode. Yay! Jeremie asks her what she'll do if something happens to him while she's gone. She says that she'll keep her phone on. Jeremie agrees that she can skip it, and that maybe she's right; he worries too much. She thanks him, and kisses him on the cheek before she leaves. Aw! At the factory, Jeremie gives the others sheets of papers with lists of different functions on them. He wants them to understand the theoretical side of it before he hands over the controls to them. Just have them play IFSCL. Aelita meets Chris again, who introduces her to his team, and the other two contestants. The others want Jeremie to teach them something practical, and in layman's terms, like how to re-materialize someone or program the vehicles. Ulrich is able to successfully virtualize Odd into the Ice Sector. Jeremie criticizes his performance though. Yes, he got Odd to Lyoko, but he hesitated and almost hit the wrong button. Jeremie was also here with them this time, and they're not even under the stress of a XANA attack. Why do fictional characters always tempt fate? XANA activates a tower and launches an attack. The tower is in the Mountain Sector. Before anyone can do anything, a polymorphic specter of a man in black appears in the room. Ulrich tries to kick him, but he's tossed aside. The specter tears a cable in two, and electrocutes Jeremie with it. Yumi enters a fighting stance, but the specter disappears. It's Aelita's turn at the turntables, and she impresses everyone. Ulrich and Yumi check on Jeremie. He's still breathing, but he took a lot of volts. He'll be out of commission for the rest of the episode. Meanwhile, Odd is still on Lyoko. Ulrich tells him what happened. Yumi tries to call Aelita, but she doesn't answer. After all, she has headphones on, and her phone is in her bag. Yumi sends her a text. She tells Odd to try and get to the Mountain Sector. Ulrich thinks that they should bring Odd back in while they try to contact Aelita, but neither one of them knows how to re-materialize him. Odd says that he'd rather stay on Lyoko and fight. He asks them where he can find a way tower so he can change sectors. They don't know how to bring up a radar window though, or how to program his Overboard. Yumi realizes that the specter went after Aelita, and leaves to warn her. Odd is attacked by Bloks and runs away from them. Aelita finishes her performance. Chris says that they'll all come to a decision after they talk it over. However, Aelita runs off when she sees the text on her phone. It's too bad, since she was going to win. Odd destroys a Blok, and Ulrich materializes a vehicle. Except it's the Overbike, and he can't send Odd anything else. Also, instead of it appearing in front of Odd, it appeared in between the remaining two Bloks. Odd destroys one of them, and rides off on the bike like a cowboy. Aelita runs into the polymorphic specter and runs away. Makes sense, she's never had good experiences with the men in black. He's tackled by Yumi, and flies into the street, where a car goes through him, due to his ability to phase through things. Yumi and Aelita run to the factory. The specter throws the driver of the car when he checks on him, and steals his car to chase after the girls. Odd still can't find the way tower. Ulrich pushes some random buttons, which causes a countdown window to appear. He gets a call from Yumi, who puts Aelita on. The words Big Fat Cheese Head are written above the window. Aelita tells Ulrich that it's a code, and he's started a delayed virtualization directly into the Mountain Sector. Yumi asks if Odd has found the way tower yet. Ulrich says that he hasn't, and leaves so he can be virtualized onto Lyoko. Yumi hangs up and asks Aelita about the peculiar code. She blushes, and says that it's a private joke between her and Jeremie. Aw! They see the specter in the car, and run down a narrow path that he can't follow in a car. He catches up to them at the factory. Aelita gets to the computer and tells Odd where the way tower is. She heads to the scanner room, and tells Yumi to virtualize her. Um, wouldn't it be better for her to stay here, since she actually knows how to work the supercomputer? Sure, she's the only one who can deactivate the tower, but she could at least program the other vehicles, virtualize Yumi, and then start another delayed virtualization for herself. Of course, then no one would be around to stop the polymorphic specter from killing Jeremie, or wrecking the computer or the scanners, or forcibly re-materializing everyone. We also don't know if two delayed virtualizations are even possible. Plus, Aelita doesn't know how to fight in the real world. Then again, XANA has always needed her alive for one reason or another. Okay, I retract what I said. Come to think of it, why wouldn't Yumi and Ulrich teach Odd, Aelita, and Jeremie how to defend themselves in the real world, especially since the plot of this episode involves the non-computer savvy kids becoming better at computers in case a situation just like this happens? Sure, Odd can at least fight well enough in a pinch, but it wouldn't hurt for the others to learn some actual fighting techniques, especially since Aelita keeps getting kidnapped. Ulrich sees the activated tower. It's being guarded by William and three Krabs. Yumi succeeds in virtualizing Aelita, who shows up right behind Ulrich. She scares him, and he almost attacks her. Speaking of attacks, Yumi is confronted by the specter. Aelita asks Yumi to program the other vehicles, but she's busy getting beaten up by the specter. There are actual bruises on her face. Aelita says that the specter must be in the computer lab. Ulrich offers to be devirtualized, even though he just got there. It's probably because of his crush. Odd does it instead, since he already lost some life points. The specter disappears when Odd electrocutes it. Poetic justice baby! Odd takes over the supercomputer, and is able to virtualize Yumi. Before Aelita can enter the tower, she's confronted by William. He just blocks her energy fields with his giant sword. Yumi saves her, because Aelita forgot about her wings again. Which is so weird, since she used them to get to the tower in the first place. Seriously, she activated them right after she did a back flip off of the Overbike! It was so cool! The specter approaches Odd. Ulrich defeats the last Krab. Yumi is devirtualized by William. Aelita remembers her wings, and William throws his sword at her. It's deflected by Ulrich, who throws his twin sabers at William. They hit him, and he dissipates into smoke. Cool. Aelita deactivates the tower right before Odd is electrocuted. Later on, Jeremie finally wakes up, and asks what happened. Aelita claims that she didn't do anything. Back at Kadic, Jeremie admits that he trusts the others to take over for him, just a little bit. Aelita tells them that she was picked by the Subdigitals to be their opening act, even after she walked out on them, so she'll be gone all day the day after tomorrow for her dress rehearsal. It's too bad we never got to see it in an episode. Odd comes back from his date, tells them that the movie was lame, and he broke up with Camille.
