At the palace, Chen announces the competitors for the next match.

Master Chen: Skylor, Master of Amber, versus Jacob, Master of Sound. Fight! Fight!

Skylor: Eenie, meenie, minie, moe. Catch a Jadeblade by its toe!

The two start fighting.

Garmadon: Master of Sound's gotten stronger since the last time I saw him.

Kai finds his way to the arena.

Kai: Excuse me. Excuse me. Uh, don't mean to block your view. Just passing through. Sorry, all of these temples look the same. Did I miss anything?

Jay: Ugh. But the looks of it, you didn't miss much.

He points to everyone he upset.

Jay: Maybe we shouldn't be sitting together. I mean, the more they think we're a team, the bigger targets we put on ourselves.

Lloyd: Don't say that, we are a team. Sure we just lost Cole and still can't find Zane, but we're a team. Just smaller. All the more reason to stick together.

Kai: Skylor's fighting?

Garmadon: What has him so excited?

Toge: He had a crush on her until he found out they might be related.

Garmadon: Her element isn't Fire. She's the Master of Amber, power of absorption. She can emulate the power of anyone she's touched.

Kai perks up.

Kai: You're telling me we're not related?!

Jay: Oh, boy. Here we go again.

Skylor was able to confuse Jacob and grab the Jadeblade. Everyone cheers for her.

Kai: Yes! Go Skylor!

Chen: Winner! And loser.

He opens a trapdoor for Jacob.

Chen: I hope the Tournament of Elements has entertained you as much as it has me. To thank you, I wanted to give everyone fancy jewels and untold shiny things.

He pulls out a box of jewels.

Chen: But then in yesterday's battle, Master Jay and Cole tried to undermine me by teaming up and refusing to fight each other. And that made me very upset. For their insubordination, all of your fancy quarters will be taken away, and tonight everyone must sleep together in the chow house! That is all. Thank you, you can go.

Kai: Nice one, Jay!

Toge: Whoa, easy, Romeo.

Lloyd: Don't worry about them. We aren't here to make friends, just to save ours.

Garmadon: Yes, but your exclusion of others has only made enemies. Beware how you treat those around you, for they will treat you the same.

Cole is locked up in a dungeon.

Cole: You can take my clothes and my power, but you'll never take my super strength.

He tries to break the bars, but it didn't budge.

Cole: All right, so you got that too.

Clouse opens the door.

Cole: You're letting me go?
