The remaining ninja enter Cliff Gordon's estate.
Jay: Ahem. Welcome to my humble abode.
Cole: Whoa.
Lloyd: (Simultaneously) Awesome.
Nya: (Simultaneously) Wow.
Fritz Donnegan animatronic: Fear isn't a word where I come from.
Lloyd: So how did you come across this place again?
Jay: I saved up. Yeah, that's it. Uh, I saved up every little bit and now ta-da, here's my secret hideout. Haha. Of course it can be our secret hideout.
Fritz Donnegan animatronic: Fear isn't a word where I
Jay shakes it, disrupting the audio
Fritz Donnegan animatronic: come from.
Toge: First we lost Wu, then Misako. Now Kai. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to see a pattern.
Zane: Whenever one of us finds ourselves alone, we disappear.
Nya: Then we stick together from here on out. We need to take a look at that lantern. Jay, hit the lights.
Jay: Lights. Lights. Where would they be? Ah, found them! Ha-ah. Sorry, big house.
He presses the wrong buttons.
Jay: Oh, no.
He closes the windows.
Jay: Haha.
Nya: Wow. So this is supposed to point the way to the only thing that can stop Khalla?
Lloyd: Not stop, slow. Remember, a drop of venom from a Tiger Widow can kill a normal person, but slow a Djinn down before she can disappear on us. If we need to trap her, we'll need this venom so let's figure out a plan.
Cole: (Whispering) You saved up for this place? Baloney. Whenever money comes your way, you waste it on junk food and video games. What's really up? And don't think you can lie to me. I know you too well.
Jay: (Whispering) Fine. I made a wish with Khalla.
Cole: (Whispering) You've seen Khalla and haven't told us?!
Jay: (Whispering) Shh. She came when I was alone. I wished to be rich so I can help Toge impress Nya, and instead I got a letter telling me I've inherited my dad's estate, only it turns out I'm adopted and my birth dad is Cliff Gordon.
Cole: (Whispering) Who?
Jay: (Whispering) The guy who played Fritz Donnegan.
Nya: So the Tiger Widow is on that island?
Zane: An island that doesn't exist according to my database.
Cole: (Whispering) How could you be so stupid to make a wish? You know everyone else who has faced her is now gone.
Jay: (Whispering) It's because back in the Spinjitzu Master's tomb, when everyone saw their future, and I told everyone I had an eye patch...
Cole: (Whispering) I remember.
Jay: (Whispering) Well, I saw Toge's. I saw the reflection of him and Nya together.
Cole: (Whispering) What?
Jay: (Whispering) I don't know how, but in the future, they end up with each other. Although they both made it painfully clear neither of them never stand a chance. So when Khalla found me, I couldn't resist. But who am I kidding? Nothing I tell Toge to do would impress her. After two wasted wishes, I was barely able to escape without making my third.
