Official Description
As the mural at the Monastery of Spinjitzu progresses, Jay relives good old memories of fighting off the ninja’s old enemy, Pythor P. Chumsworth and his Venomari henchmen. Ah, that was one epic truck/Storm Fighter jet chase that was sure to go down in NINJAGO® history! Jay also discovers a new skill he should probably work on…
Plot
Jay stares at the new mural on the wall of the Monastery of Spinjitzu and remembers using his jet. He recalls preventing Pythor from stealing some of the noodle trucks, and by the time he awakens from his daydream, it's nighttime.

Location featured
Continuity
- This is the first appearance of Jay’s Storm Fighter and Pythor in his original purple form since "Day of the Great Devourer".
- This is also the first time Pythor appears in TV media since "Day of the Departed" and overall since Pythor's Revenge.
- Pythor's appearance in this episode is different from his original appearance. In addition to his Legacy look, he no longer has scales and has smaller red eyes instead of larger pink ones.
- Pythor’s voice also sounds a little different.
Trivia
- The Legacy set that appears in this episode is 70668 Jay's Storm Fighter.
- While Nya appears in the set, she is absent in this episode.
- One of the comics sold at Ninjago Doomsday Comix is called "Blue Lightning," though this is likely a coincidence.
Errors
- When Jay calls Wu via a computer, the gate of the monastery is visible behind Wu, although by the time Pythor was released from the tomb, the monastery was already burned down.
- It's possible that only Jay remembered it that way, since the flashback is just his memory.
