(In a flashback, Wu knocks on the hidden Workshop's door.)

Past Julien: Can I help you?

Past Wu: I'm looking for a boy named Zane.

Past Julien: Hm. He's out back chopping wood. I'll take you to him. It's curious, you're our second guest in a long while. An old man visited us last night. He had taken ill, and he needed shelter. It was as if winter had followed him here.

Past Wu: The Master of Ice. (He mutters to himself)

Past Julien: Well, of course, we gave him shelter, food. He was very thankful, and very intrigued by my son. It's peculiar. Ever since he left, Zane's been acting stranger than usual.

Past Wu: Very peculiar indeed.

Past Julien: Here he is. (Zane is shown chopping wood)

Past Wu: Hello, Zane.

Past Zane: Hello. Have we met?

Past Wu: No. But some would say I have a knack at finding young talent.

Past Zane: Do you need me to chop wood?

Past Wu: Hehe. Maybe one day, but not today.

Past Zane: Then why are you here? Are you lost?

Past Wu: Lost? Hm. An interesting word. Sometimes one has to be lost in order to be found.

Past Zane: That does not make any sense.

Past Wu: Maybe one day, but not today. Goodbye, Zane.

Past Zane: Uh, will I see you again?

Past Wu: I'm sure of it. And when we do, you'll be asked to do far more than chop wood. (He walks away)

(Back in the present Zane is disguised as Snake Jaguar and Styx is still invisible on Zane's shoulder, riding on a train with the other Sons of Garmadon.)

Ultra Violet: It's time you meet the Big Man.

Zane: The Big Man?

(Lloyd and Crystal ride atop a tram.)

Crystal: Me and Lloyd are in Ninjago City.

Lloyd: Where was Zane last seen?

Jay: Central Station. But once they went underground, Pixal lost Zane's signal. We haven't been able to pick up Cole's intercom either. Styx is most likely with Zane or Cole.

Lloyd: If they're taking Zane to their hideout, then Cole could be held captive there with Styx. We can't lose Zane. We're over Central now. (He and Crystal jump off and runs behind a building after a Man see's them.)

Man: Oh, look, son! It's the Green and Light Ninja!

Boy: Is it? Where? 

Man: There! Look! (He points but Lloyd and Crystal are gone.)

Boy: Yeah right, Dad, very funny.

Lloyd: No sign of Zane, Styx, or Cole. 

Crystal: They could be anywhere by now. (Nya builds something under the Bounty.)

Kai: Ugh, do you mind, sis? We're trying to save Cole, Styx, and Zane.

Nya: What do you think I'm doing? Zane won't last long undercover in a biker gang without a bike.
