[edit] Plot synopsis
The episode starts with the Xiaolin Warriors playing a super-sized game of Chess. Master Fung tells the warriors that he had a mission for them to complete and takes them to a secret vault. He then shows them the Mystic Heylin Seed and they talk about it and how it can destroy the world. It is now the team’s job to guard the seed.
After Jack makes his new Detector-bot, a humanoid version of the ghost Wuya (since she has join Chase Young's side), Vlad, an old acquaintance, sneak into his lab and tells Jack about how he is now a worldwide joke after Wuya left him. He then tells Jack about the Heylin Seed that will allow them to rule the world (and even make their own reality TV show) and decide to steal it.
Meanwhile, the monks are at the beach as Raimundo wanted some down time. Omi is worried about their new mission, but the others tell him to relax. Clay puts some hot dogs on the box the seed is in and turns around to call Omi and Raimundo to get their food. As soon as he turns around the box and sausages are pulled underground. The monks then see Jack's tunnel and Clay jumps down and chases him under ground, but is unable to catch up.
Back at Jack’s house, Jack and Vlad look at the seed and think it’s useless so they toss it away. The seed lands near a fountain and some water soon splashes on it, releasing the Heylin Plant. It talks to jack and Vlad and tells them that it will do as they ask. The plant has a French accent, which causes Jack to name it Gigi.
Meanwhile Raimundo tells Master Fung what happened and Master Fung tells them they must prepare. Gigi attacks the temple in order to steal the Shen Gong Wu. During the fight Kimiko, Clay, Dojo and Master Fung are sprayed with pollen, which turns them into plants. Gigi takes a number of Shen Gong Wu back to Jack’s where he announces that he is now in charge and turns Jack and Vlad into plants as well.
The Moonstone Locust, a Shen Gong Wu that can defeat the Heylin Plant, soon reveals itself. Omi and Raimundo bring the transformed monks with them on the Crouching Cougar to a swamp to search for the Locust. The find Gigi looking for the Locust as well and during the ensuing fight Omi is turned into a tree. Raimundo challenges Gigi to a Xiaolin Showdown, and Gigi calls a Shen Yi Bu Dare, increasing the wager. The Showdown begins when they were each jumping through the trees. Raimundo then used the Falcon's Eye to search for the Moonstone Locust, but Gigi uses the Thorn of Thunderbolt, forcing Raimundo to jump off the branch and land in a pond. Raimundo activates the Gills of Hamachi and swims for the Shen Gong Wu, so Gigi tries to stop Raimundo. Raimundo kicks the vines and continues but Gigi uses the Reversing Mirror which causes the Gills of Hamachi to not work, nearly suffocating Raimundo. The Moonstone Locust is jostled and ends up flying in the air, off the Reversing Mirror, and onto a tree branch. Raimundo jumps onto the branch below the one with the Moonstone Locust on it. Gigi uses the Thorn of Thunderbolt to try to blast Raimundo, but he had grabbed the Reversing Mirror, and he uses it to deflect the blast back to Gigi. Raimundo grabs the Moonstone Locust and wins the Showdown. After everyone was turned back to normal and the Heylin Plant back into a seed, the monks were proud of Raimundo for learning self focus and for concentrating on what was more important. The episode ends with Raimundo telling Master Fung that he will be more careful.
