CODE LYOKO: RETURN TO THE PAST NOW!: EPISODES 42-43: A TROPE TO HANG YOURSELF WITH!

EPISODE 42 is a sci-fi trope as old as time, well as old as the 60's, so close enough: The Freaky Friday Flip. It starts with some foreshadowing with Ulrich is waiting for the others to Realize after a mission. He flips a coin to determine Odd gets realized first, only to see Yumi...Then Odd's Voice comes out of her mouth!

Odd and Yumi have switched bodies and it makes for a Bizarre Day, as Aelita and Jeremie pull an all nighter to fix the problem. Odd can't use Chopsticks and embarrasses himself by using a fork in front of Yumi's parents in her body, Yumi, being in Odd's body Gets the brunt off being slapped by 2 girls Odd is Two-Timing. Speaking of Love Life, Odd gets the "Good Idea" That since he is in Yumi's Body, that he should "Practice" asking her out, (In the original Script, Odd would use Yumi's body to Kiss Ulrich, causing Ulrich to Push "her"off but it was left out!) Leading to Odd being ...playfully forward in front of Sissi and getting photographed by the Junior Reporters, who claim it's a big scoop!

Must be a slow news day. huh?

Yumi, Being in her Boyfriend's Roommate's Body is such a missed Opportunity for them to have a heart-to-heart or an awkward Moment, Instead all they do is have Kiwi growl at Yumi and Being Offended by Odd's Foot Odour!

The Next Morning Odd and Yumi Find that their Bodies keep Disappearing at a longer rate at a time! Jeremie and Aelita have Being Decoding all night at at First it seems all it needs is a little reboot. So The others wait for Odd to appear and when he does....

Are we going to to Ignore that Odd Probably went Further With Yumi's Body Than Ulrich and William Ever Did? 
It's off to the Ice Zone we go, But the Problem is more than a little reboot, They must go to Sector 5 to get the Source code! After a Sleath attack by a Megatank of all things. Ulrich is destroyed. The stakes cannot be higher, Aelita, who is not programmed to fight, and 2 bodyguards with bodies and powers they can't control have to Survive in a Ever-changing mostly uncharted new Sector! Being Trapped in Zero Gravity, Aelita's Memories are stolen again by the Psycozoa, Until the other's make the save, Aelita Reboots the Program just as The Avatars are destroyed, Yumi in her own body sees the school's newspaper and the photos of Odd in her body being touchy-feely with Ulrich!

Number 43 is Xana's Kiss, a drable that sees a Evil Villain using a shapeshifter for the most evil purpose of all....KISSING SIDE CHARACTERS IN FRONT OF THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS! Truly the most evil thing you can do with Shapeshifters! Not Replace the Government with Copies, not evil enough, we need to make the Pink-Haired Waifu Cry!

 Yeah this Episode is not good, and with the Budget being so low at times for this show, they had to reuse the scenes from the Clone Yumi episode. It's a good idea though! and I like that When Xana Takes on Jeremie's Form and kisses Aelita after an Argument Xana Caused, Aelita realizes that the Jeremie who kissed her is the fake, as Jeremie is not as Public as with his feelings towards Aelita Something Aelita jokes with the others, when she Kisses Jeremie after playfully thinking he is a clone, Jeremie's Reaction to the Kiss is Priceless!

Odd: "Is he okay?"
Ulrich: "Nah, Give he a few minutes, he's too shocked to Move!"
and they say he is still standing there to this very day...

Or until the next Episode of the Retrospective! Next time we have Vertigo and Cold War to get through!

As we will all RETURN TO THE PAST!

NOW!
