Plot[]
Nya wakes up in chains, and finds out that Maya is chained with her. They find themselves in the Temple of Wojira, to which Maya claims Wojira isn't real. Nya then tells her about the Storm Amulet they found on the Keepers' island, only to discover Kalmaar had been listening in on them the whole time. Kalmaar introduces himself, and asks for further information on the Storm Amulet. When Nya refuses, Kalmaar attempts to attack her but misses after Gripe startles him. Kalmaar is forced to leave to confront his father.
Back on the Hydro Bounty, the ninja attempt reaching out to Nya with no success. Jay wants to use his element to recharge the battery, but Zane tells him not to. P.I.X.A.L. suggests they reroute the remaining power to start the battery instead.
In the palace, Benthomaar greets his adoptive brother, much to Kalmaar's annoyance. When Trimaar asks if Kalmaar sunk another ship, Kalmaar denies this. Benthomaar assures his father that it wasn’t Kalmaar. The two brothers explain that the ships sink sometimes, much to Benthomaar's sadness. Kalmaar states that the ships are poorly built, and Trimaar lets him go. Kalmaar leaves in anger.
Nya and Maya escape the pole by climbing over it, and are attacked by multiple Merlopians. The two discard their chains and escape into their mechs.
Back on the Hydro Bounty, all power is lost, and the ship is taking on water. Jay goes down to recharge the battery, and prevents the rest of the team from stopping him. Jay's eyes glow white and the battery is recharged. They get back up to the controls of the ship, and allow Jay to be the captain from now on. Jay quietly tells Nya that they’re coming, and the Hydro Bounty sails off into the Endless Sea.
The soundtrack that plays when Nya and Maya are escaping the temple is the same as when Kai and Nya are fighting against Acronix and Krux in "A Time of Traitors," a faster-paced version of the Kai and Nya family theme.
The soundtrack that plays when Jay goes to recharge the battery is the beginning of Built to Protect.
When Lloyd tries to stop Jay from powering the battery, no bubbles come out of his scuba mask, though that is meant to show him breathing.
When Lloyd just tried to stop Jay, Jay was already down in the flooding subs, Jay is with a mask already, being that fast, as it won't happen in real life. However, this might mean that Jay is acting quickly before Lloyd arrives at the subs, it might be just a time-lapse for wearing the scuba mask.
When Zane tells Jay to say something after powering up the battery, taking a closer look shows his mouth doesn't move.
