## Plotline

The episode starts at the wall ball court, where Luxo Jr. and his friends are happily playing together with Luxo Jr's bouncy ball. Luxo Jr. has been sweeping the competition and has remained one of the only lamps not eliminated. After winning over Paxel, Jaxon takes up the challenger role. The game goes well at first, but Luxo Jr. gets a little too excited, and strikes his ball as hard as he can against the wall. In a split-second the ball comes rushing back towards Luxo Jr, much to his sudden horror. ***POW!*** The ball strikes him at full force knocking the poor little lamp out ***cold***!

A long time later, Luxo Jr. is still out, after the unconscious lamp has been brought back to his home outlet. Everybody is worried and sad over Luxo Jr, scared about how hurt he is and if he's in a coma. Jaxon sobs to himself for a brief second and Luxo Sr. sadly kneels down to his son, concerned.

Just then, Luxo Jr. wakes up. Everybody's relieved at first, asking him if he's alright. However, Luxo Jr stares around in confusion, not recognizing his friends. He doesn’t even remember his own father. Luxo Sr. and everyone else is shocked and fearful, realizing Luxo Jr. now has amnesia. Luxo Jr. begins to hop off, but a desperate Luxo Sr. stops him, and tries to find things that can help Jr. regain his memory of his life. First he asks if the bouncy ball is what hit him, but Jr. doesn't remember it. With another ball, Paxel tries to demonstrate the lampshade balancing trick that Luxo Jr. came up with. Luxo Jr. doesn't remember the trick at all. Paxel drops his head in dismay.

Luxo Sr. then grabs a nearby chalkboard and draws up another memory to help Luxo Jr. remember. He shows Luxo Jr. the dream that he told Sr. about where he encountered and was scared by two evil clones of himself. Luxo Jr once again says he doesn't remember the dream, much to Luxo Sr's sadness. Just then, JL Senior arrives and explains to the group that he has two big memories that could help Luxo Jr. get his memory back.

He takes Luxo Jr. to the time machine that they went on an adventure together in. When he asks Luxo Jr if this rings any bells, Luxo Jr. again says no. Disappointed, JL Senior takes him to the Bowling Center, where he, his father, and all his friends played together. Once again Luxo Jr has no recollection of the game. JL Senior shakes his head in frustration.

A little while later, Luxo Jr's friends are still worried sick about him. Luna Jr. and Spaxer comfort each other. Luxo Sr. is feeling the worst of all. Being Luxo Jr's father, he's heartbroken by the fact that his own son doesn't remember him and their life together at all anymore. He notices Luxo Jr's beach ball, but then remembers he has something underneath it. He pushes the beach ball aside to reveal Luxo Jr's original ball. Luxo Sr. remembers one of the biggest moments of his life. Luxo Jr. was only a toddler when he accidentally deflated his original bouncy ball. When he found that beach ball, it instantly cheered him up. Luxo Sr. hopes that this first memory will help Luxo Jr remember his life.

JL Senior comes back with Luxo Jr, and tells everybody that his attempts were unsuccessful, much to everyone's misery. Just then, Luxo Sr. places down the deflated ball next to Luxo Jr. Even though still amnesiac, Luxo Jr. still maintains his curious personality that he always has. Excited, he begins to play around with the deflated ball, but in the process accidentally gets it stuck on his lightbulb. Unable to see, poor Luxo Jr. panics and swings recklessly around trying to get the ball off his light bulb. He becomes so scared that he passes out, just like Luxo Sr. did when he lost Paxel Jr. SLAM! The once again unconscious Luxo Jr. hits his head for the second time as he falls, scaring Luxo Sr. and everyone else. Everybody once again checks on the out lamp, but Luxo Jr. reawakens really quickly this time.

Luxo Jr. looks around in confusion, but then sees his deflated ball. He looks over and sees his other ball. He finally remembers them! Then he looks over at his father, and then his friends. He remembers them all! Everybody celebrates (including Paxel Jr. moving happily, and Spaxer and Paxel hug each other, Spaxer sobbing in relief). Luxo Sr. beams at his son, happy to have him back.

A little while later, Luxo Sr. is resting when Luxo Jr's ball rolls up to him and bounces off him (a direct reference to the original short). Luxo Jr. hops up to Luxo Sr. and recalls the times that they would always play together by simply passing the ball back and forth. Overjoyed to once again remember the lamp he loves most, a gleeful Luxo Jr. dashes over to Luxo Sr. and gives him a huge hug. Luxo Sr. and Jr. lovingly embrace tightly as the episode ends
