CODE LYOKO: RETURN TO THE PAST NOW! EPISODES 76-77: WHATTA PROOF!

 As above's terrible Attempt at a pun tells you, Both episodes have an Aquatic Theme, Lost At Sea comes later, but first, Let's Dive into "The Lake".

Today the entire 8th Grade class at Kadic (That's our Heroes and Sissi, Herve and Nicolas bar Yumi and Fake William) have a camping trip on a small island on a lake. Odd has sneaked Kiwi in his bag and Sissi is lording it up as the Principal's Daughter to bring her mountain Bike. When Kiwi reveals himself, Jim's long feud with proving Kiwi's Existence comes to a close. Jeremie can't get an internet Connection, But can still use their phones to contact Yumi to tell her to keep a watch on XANA. This will be hard as Yumi has Finals and is not a boarder at the Academy.

XANA's Attack is two fold. In reality A Spectre is going all slasher movie and picking off the Class one by one, (Only shocking them to Coma's because Kid's Show!) while on Lyoko The scyozoa returns to Delete the Skid's data! The Spectre spreads itself in the lake water, becoming a film that emits an electrical current. Odd and Ulrich try to sneak off using a rubber dingy. While Aelita and Jeremy, Jerry-rig an Antenna out of their tent. Odd Keeps Jim Distracted as Ulrich float back to Burgundy as Jeremy Dictates a program to Yumi while William and some Krabbes provide a welcome party.

Ulrich's attempt to escape gets thwarted by Jim both are shocked...Aelita attempt reveals herself in Ulrich's Dingy covered in a rubber Blanket as the boat floated back to the school bus. Aelita spots Sissi's Mountain bike and formulates a plan! Yumi accidentally gets blasted into the tower and she thinks she's safe....But.....William can now enter Towers as easily as the Aelita or the others when she's with them!

Yumi is about to be Killed, But Yumi could Reach William Temporarily, But's Not Enough. Aelita arrives and activates Green Towers On Every Zone to reboot the Skid's Systems. Aelita blasts William who blasted Yumi to earth to activate the return to the past, to stop everyone on the island from being electrocuted, Being sent Back a Day Aelita used it to reinforce the skid's shields and so it ends with Kiwi now stuck with Yumi, who because of time travel has to take the exams again!

Next, Lost at Sea, the 77th Episode, Sees Yumi's brother Hiroki steal her diary in an attempt to impress Milly, Who is looking for a scoop for the school paper! Jeremy has programmed a Tracer onto the Skid in the name of the mission to find William. When Yumi, gives chase, Hiroki bumps into Odd and Ulrich, picking up her Diary Hiroki was using to impress Milly, A Photo of Ulrich Falls out, with Odd telling Ulrich this is his one and only chance to find out if Yumi still likes Him!

Ulrich's Attempt to return the diary is quashed by Jeremy's arrival. Tumi, Still angry, takes it out on XANA'S monsters on the mission, but not before a convaluted"Parent Trap" style scheme to make Hiroki out to be the hero, only for the pages to be removed by a third party. Her Navi Skid is damaged and divirtulized with her inside it. She is now trapped in the Red Zone, in the Digital sea.

In the real World the Diary pages are found and Odd concludes Kiwi Dug them out with his paws like a game. In the Read Zone Yumi feels sad about never seeing her family again as she battles a Kongre with only one Torpedo left. The blast is enough of a heat signature to track her. The others find her and rescue her from an ambush!

And So the Episode Ends with Ulrich Returning Yumi's Diary Pages in Secret and her thinking Hiroki did it, As Ulrich walks off Happy!

"Lost At Sea! finally gives Yumi and Ulrich their Endgame Arc for the Final Season. A catalyst for them to be together once more without the Guilt of a Secret keeping them Together. It also show that 15 plus years ago, French Cartoon Writers could write Believable Romantic plots for  Children's shows and not make the Heroes look like assholes! 

I'm Looking at you Thomas Astruc!

And I Know I will never have the chance again bring it up, But the Opening of Ladybug season 4 is Just Awful. True, anyone with a Braincell knew the MarinettexLuca and AdrianxKagami Ships wouldn't last, But Couldn't they have done more? Couldn't they have built this over a few episodes and then make Truth and Lies a Mid-season ending? BUT NO! STATUS QUO IS GOD! AND WE HAVE TO DRAG OUT THE REVEAL! And don't get me started on lack of redemption for Chloe, we just replaced her with a blander character!

Return to the Past will be back every Monday in July. And next week, Reality Blurs as the hunt for Xana escalates. A revelation next episode proves to be the programs undoing In Lab-Rat and Bragging Rights! In our Next double Bill Nicknamed for the spoiler "Amazon Delivered AssKicking!"

When we Return to the Past,

NOW!
