Synopsis[]
In a strange twist of fate, the ninjas successfully break Aspheera out of prison. But to save Nya, they'll also need to steal back Aspheera's staff.[1]
Extended: As Mayor Trustable orders the arrest of the black-clad ninjas, Aspheera arrives in the Ninja Cave, but she needs her staff to save Nya. Now in new stealth vehicles, the Ninjas intercept a police convoy transporting Aspheera's staff - they find the staff, but the New Ninjas are waiting for them. Their altercation exposes the Ninjas' identities, and the Mayor declares them public enemies one through five.[2]
LEGO's YouTube channel: Zane and the others make it back just in time to stabilize Nya. But even though they have freed Aspheera, her magic staff is still gone. After Pixal asks Cyrus Borg as to the whereabouts of the staff, the Ninja set out to retrieve it!
Can the Ninja obtain the magical staff of Aspheera in time? Will they save Nya, even though Mayor Trustable has declared the Ninja as enemies of NINJAGO City?[3]
Plot[]
Mayor Trustable was having Dwayne fix up his portrait on a wall when Noble calls to tell him that another group of New Ninja broke into Kryptarium Prison and freed Aspheera. Ulysses then tells him to have them found and arrested.
Back at the hangar bay, Skylor senses Zane's powers wearing off but a few moments later he arrives to freeze Nya. Meanwhile, Kai and Lloyd are showing Aspheera around the Monastery and bump into Wu. Wu confronts her to tell them he had nothing to do with the ninja's doings and would never have brought her here, but would not stand in the way of her freedom if she helped Nya. They bring her down to the Ninja Cave, where Aspheera takes a look at Nya herself. They discuss about removing her powers to which Aspheera mentions she cannot help without her staff but Zane assures her it would arrive soon. Unfortunately, Cole and Jay arrive from Borg Tower with the news that everything has disappeared. P.I.X.A.L. then calls up Cyrus Borg to ask him where he moved his staff so they could steal it and save Nya's life, much to Kai's surprise when he sarcastically suggested it. They later discuss the convoy's schedule and when to ambush them before P.I.X.A.L. goes down to work on some upgrades for their vehicles.
Soon, the ninja are on their way for the staff while also admiring their vehicles P.I.X.A.L. remodeled and going over the plan. They arrive at the convoy's route and Zane detects Aspheera's staff in one of the trucks. The ninja sans Zane set their vehicles to auto before jumping on while Zane however lifts the truck into the air. The ninja then break in, only to find the New Ninja lying in wait for them and a fight breaks out, which creates an imbalance and Zane struggles to control the truck from swinging wildly all over the streets of Ninjago. In addition, the Teal Ninja throws an explosive shuriken into one of the jet's engines, causing everyone to lose altitude.
Meanwhile, Dwayne rushes in to tell Mayor Trustable one of the trucks has gained the ability to fly, which the latter denies is not possible. But Zane crashes into the Mayor's Office from behind and into another building as he tries to gain back the altitude they lost. Annoyed, Kai complains to Zane to not crash into every building and ends up saying his name. At that, the fight stops and the Teal Ninja quickly takes Lloyd hostage while Kai tries to lie about the name but the Teal Ninja unmasks one of the black-clad ninja and discovers that Lloyd is under there. In all the confusion, the ninja manage to escape with the staff on Zane's jet after he drops off the truck on a roof.
Afterwards, the Teal Ninja calls Ulysses to tell them about the old ninja pretending to be the black-clad ninja. Enraged with their recklessness, Mayor Trustable declares the ninja to be public enemies number one through five.

Trivia[]
- Narrator: Ulysses Trustable
- The episode's title is a reference to "Public Enemy Number One" from Season 6: Skybound.
- A civilian can be briefly heard listening to "The Weekend Whip" during the heist sequence.
- The billboard of Dareth which the truck crashes into is the same image used for the "Two Truths, One Lie" for Crystalized.[4]
- Dareth can be seen in a tourist bus during the heist sequence, sitting calmly while the other passengers are screaming in horror.
- In the Taiwanese translation, the number of hours P.I.X.A.L. said was required to complete the new vehicles was changed to 635.
Continuity[]
- Vinny Folson and Christofern can be seen in the the former's apartment. Vinny is visibly tired, showing that his noisy roommate mentioned in the first episode is still present.
- Clutch Powers can be seen running across the street with the Teapot of Tyrahn.
- P.I.X.A.L.'s line "A nindroid needs her secrets" is similar to a line she spoke while disguised as Skylor in "Secrets Discovered" ("A girl's gotta have her secrets, right?") and Nya's line ("A girl's gotta have her secrets") in "The Art of the Silent Fist."
Errors[]
- This episode's title card and ending writes the name as "Public Enemy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5" instead of "Public Enemies 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5".
- This is the same case on Netflix.
