Plot[]
Dragon Core Chaos
Dorama and his stagehands stand in front of Kai and Wyldfyre, having relieved them of the Purple Dragon Core and Dorama begins to monologue about his victory, only for Kai to retort that it's boring before he and Wyldfyre try to shoot at him with their powers, but he easily absorbs them with his staff and prepares to make his getaway when the Lava-Tides immediately seize it and make their own getaway. Both groups immediately pursue them before Kai managed to corner the leader, who swiftly warns Kai they will shoot flaming boulders if the latter says 'What', which he does in confusion before the leader orders a Lava-Tide by the gong to signal the go ahead to fire boulders, causing everyone, except Wyldfyre, to try and take cover.
At Arrakore's cave, Nya, Sora, and Riyu prepare for their departure before Nya wishes for directions to the Yellow Dragon Core, which Arrakore conjures an arrowhead to guide them, the wish also making the Djinjago stone grow bigger before they depart on Zanth and Jiro to follow the arrowhead's direction.
The Mucoids appear
Aboard the Destiny's Bounty, after Arin recites a list of pie crusts to Lloyd, he discovers they're now at the Mother Garden, where they stop and start to explore it in order to find the Pink Dragon Core, and discover trees with flowers that chime like bells and bushes with flowers that blow bubbles. Coming across the Core with shells surrounding the alter, Arin intends to take it, but Lloyd stops him, wondering if it's to be taken upon asking someone before the shells rise up, revealing Mucoids, with the leader, Zant-Tanz, congratulating the two ninja on passing their test of greed. He then mentions the last person who took the test had failed and is currently in custody, to which they're guided to, and discover it was Rapton, who demands for his release.
The Giant Lava-Tide
Back in the Lava-Tide village, everyone continues to dodge the boulders before Kai tries to appease to the leader about needing to save the Merged Realms, but she refuses to believe him before Wyldfyre, using the argument as a diversion, takes the core from her and refuses to hand it to Kai, only for Dorama to take it from her before the Lava-Tides grab it again and pass it to the leader, who soon eats Wyldfyre's fireballs and grows large, to the former's surprise before intending to make crushing Wyldfyre her greatest practical joke.
Land of Lost Things
Nya, Sora, and Riyu eventually end up in a junkyard, where the arrowhead goes haywire and unable to determine the next direction before they spot two kids, who take off, and they start to chase them for directions.
Back in the Mother Garden, Lloyd and Arin are told that Rapton is to be executed for failing the test before Lloyd, after some reluctance, asks for any way to release the former before learning from Zant-Tanz of another test which is to cross the Impossible Path, which he accepts.
Back at the Lava-Tide village, Kai reprimands Wyldfyre for not thinking before acting when she enlarged the leader, until they come across a dead end, which Wyldfyre blames Kai for, despite being in front before the leader prepares to attack them, only for Heatwave to arrive, and force her back for Kai and Wyldfyre to retrieve the core and escape on him, with Dorama not worried. Kai and Wyldfyre manage to get to safety, only for Heatwave to collapse and discover the leader managed to graze him during their fight.
The Administration Agents take the core
Coming across the Impossible Path, Arin and Zant-Tanz watch Lloyd enter it, and meet up with him at the end, completely unharmed, surprising Zant-Tanz, who tells him the path is laced with salt, which is deadly to Mucoids. Upon learning from Arin that salt is used for cooking, Zant-Tanz faints before waking up a few minutes later to release Rapton, who double crosses Lloyd and Arin, and takes the core, only to end up incapacitated by two agents, who take the core and enter a portal they had arrived in before Lloyd and Arin head into it to chase them down.
Nya and Sora are attacked by a rock golem
Still chasing the kids, Nya, Sora, and Riyu end up stopped by a golem, who thinks they're gonna harm the children and fights them, until he sees Nya use Spinjitzu and stands down before Nya discovers the golem is Cole.

Trivia[]
- This episode, along with "The Temple of the Dragon Cores," Gangs of the Sea," "Wyldly Inappropriate," and "The Last Djinn" were all released on Disney+ Hotstar, but were later removed.
- Unlike the first four episodes, this one is the only one to be released before its scheduled release date, as the others had already been released in Korea.
Cultural references[]
- Dorama's line, "So you see, ninja, there is nothing you can acquire that I cannot confiscate" is likely a reference to Belloq's line in Raiders of the Lost Ark, "Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away"
- While listing the many flavors of pie crust, Arin mentions "butterflake."
- His voice actor, Deven Mack, uses butterflake for his pies.[3]
Errors[]
- The episode's synopsis mention that Nya and Sora were in search of the purple Dragon Core, despite the fact that they were searching for the yellow one.
- When Nya and Sora arrive in the Land of Lost Things, Sora's mouth becomes visible through her mask for one scene.
- When Arrakore grants Nya the arrowhead pointing toward the yellow Dragon Core, Nya's spear disappears in some shots. It is also unknown how Nya retrieved the spear since it was not present in the prior episode The Last Djinn.
