Before the review begins, I must give a SPOILER ALERT for Ninjago if you have not seen it.
The episode starts on a frosty river, where the Ninja are going to retrieve the Shurikens of Ice. While sailing there, Sensei Wu tells the four Ninja about the Tornado of Creation, the most powerful Spinjitzu move, which can lead to disastrous consequences.
The Ninja successfully retrieve the Shurikens of Ice and move on to the third weapon, the Nunchucks of Lightning, which they also successfully obtain. Later that night, Kai sees Nya running towards the Temple of Fire, where the Sword of Fire is, but soon finds out it is a trick: it is Lord Garmadon’s shadow, who has also trapped Nya in chains. Kai takes the sword to free his sister.
Then Garmadon’s shadow starts attacking them. Luckily, Sensei stops him but ends up going to the Underworld to stop Garmadon. Meanwhile, the other three have had their Golden Weapons stolen by Samukai, which leads to a vehicle chase, the outcome being that Jay loses his voice and the skeletons get away.
NOTE: THIS IS WHERE THE FOURTH EPISODE BEGINS IN THE US
Having lost the vehicle chase, Jay, Cole and Zane head back to the Fire Temple, where they see Kai and Nya on the Fire Dragon’s back and learn that they can use the other dragon guardians to cross over to the Underworld.
Once the Ninja have crossed over, they have another battle with the Skeleton army. This time, though, they use the Tornado of Creation to create a Ferris wheel with cages on it to keep the skeletons locked up. They then head into the fortress to see Wu and Samukai fighting; in the end, Wu loses.
Samukai then picks up the Sword of Fire, meaning he has all four Golden Weapons, but no one can hold all four at once, so Samukai dies and creates a vortex allowing Garmadon to escape the Underworld. The Ninja and Wu return to the village, where the villagers are celebrating their return.
