[edit] Plot synopsis

Omi is trying out all the recreational activities that Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay are doing. The problem is, he is doing them all at the same time. He is playing soccer with Raimundo, playing a video game with Kimiko, and learning to do the lasso trick with Clay. He ends up using the lasso to tie his feet together, causing the ball to go into his goal and causing him to lose the video game simultaneously. After that, Omi says it would be easier if there were duplicates of himself.

Coincidentally, the next Shen Gong Wu they have to find is the Ring of the Nine Dragons. This Shen Gong Wu has the power to make multiple copies of the person who wears the ring, at the cost of dividing all of their abilities and potential between each of the duplicates. Dojo takes the Xiaolin Warriors to where it is hidden: deep in the pyramids. Once they get there, they follow Dashi's instructions that he left behind for Dojo to find the Ring. Jack and Wuya travel to the pyramids also, but are too late for their adversaries have already beaten them to it. The Xiaolin Warriors return to the temple. Master Fung takes the Ring away from Omi before he could use it because he says its power will overwhelm a dragon-in-training. Nevertheless, that does not stop a curious Omi from just trying it out real fast. He sneaks into the temple late at night, and uses the ring, multiplying himself to create two other Omi's. They are both useless, however, as one is just really dumb, and the other decides to spend all his time eating cookie dough in the temple kitchen.

Later, a new Shen Gong Wu reveals itself: the Falcon's Eye. Its power is that it can see through any solid object. Dojo takes the Xiaolin Warriors to the mountains where it always snows. Jack along with hundreds of his flying Jack-bots appear and try to stop Omi from getting to the newest Shen Gong Wu. He succeeds and Jack pursues it. Since the Xiaolin Warriors are so few, and the mountain land is so large, Omi decides to use the ring again to make more duplicates in order to spread out, and find the Falcon's Eye before Jack does. Once again, all of the Omi's cannot be relied on as all of them have hardly any brains, and they just create more trouble for Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay. One of the Omis accidentally finds the Falcon's Eye, but so does Jack. Jack challenges the easygoing Omi to a Xiaolin Showdown! The Showdown is to reach the far side of the mountain using snowboards. After a long race, and some mishaps, all of the Omis come back together to return to their one original form. Although, it is too late. Jack grabs the Falcon's Eye just as Omi swoops in to get it. They have lost, once again.

Everybody returns to the Xiaolin Temple, where Master Fung is angrily waiting. Because Omi was so disobedient, his punishment is to do many chores. Meanwhile, Jack also misuses the Ring of the Nine Dragons. He duplicated himself all nine times to create chaos all around his lab, leaving poor Wuya to deal with nine Jacks.
