*Violet and P.I.X.A.L. come clean with the secret they hid a year ago and Violet reveals to everyone that Lloyd is the key to the last Oni Mask due to being Garmadon's most precious thing*

(After their bikes fell off the cliff, Zane tries to get Mr. E to talk.)

Zane: Are you the Quiet One? Are you the Quiet One? (They attack each other.) Who are you? Who...is...in...charge!? Who? You don't have to do this. (Mr. E kicks him off the cliff.) Who... (He shuts down.)

Mr. E: (He puts something in Zane's chest.) Tes neeb sah part eht.

(The ninja find Zane.)

Lloyd: Zane! Zane, can you hear me?

Nya: What did they do to him?

Jay: Say something, Zane. Can you hear us? Zane?

Lloyd: P.I.X.A.L., lower the gurney. Zane's in bad shape. Hang on, buddy. Hang on. (They put Zane on the gurney and hook him to the Bounty.)

Nya: Okay. Winch him up, Pix.

Lloyd: How bad is it?

P.I.X.A.L. He has extensive damage to all systems. His neural net and cognitive cores suffered severe failures.

Nya: Can you save him?

P.I.X.A.L. I've diverted power to critical life functions, but Zane will have to do most of the work. He must reconfigure his system and reboot himself.

Harumi: Isn't there anything we can do?

Lloyd: We have to keep moving or the Sons of Garmadon will find us. They'll do anything to get their hands on the child.

Kai: I just don't get how a baby can be a key.

Cole: I don't either, but that's what they said. They called him the key to the third mask.

Lloyd: If Cole's right, we need to disappear. Get as far away from Ninjago City as we can.

Violet: Let me see. (She scans the baby for the coordinates and the scanner beeps red) This baby is not the key.

Jay: Hmm. Doesn't seem right. Abandoning Ninjago City.

Lloyd: We're not abandoning. There are others who will protect her.

Kai: Like who?

Nya: There's always Samurai X. Whoever that is.

Lloyd: Whoever it is, they're going to have to cover for us until we get a handle on things. P.I.X.A.L., set a new course. Anywhere but here.

(The baby cries.)

Lloyd: Maybe he's thirsty. Give him some milk.

Cole: I tried. He doesn't like milk.

Jay: What else do babies drink?

Kai: Don't ask me. Ask him.

Cole: He's a baby! He hasn't learned how to talk yet.

Jay: Oh! Maybe he needs a diaper change.

Cole: Oh my gosh. Do we even have diapers?

Lloyd: Why would we have diapers? We're ninja!

Jay: Ooh! Maybe we can use one of our hoods instead.

Kai: Not my hood.

Lloyd: We'll draw straws. Loser gives up their hood.

Harumi: (The baby stops crying.) The spider's in the house. Sleep sleep. The spider bit the mouse. Sleep deep. Don't wake up or else you'll find a spider in your mouth.
