The gang manages to convince Jeremy to let them test out the Skid. During this test, the navigation system bugs up, leaving the gang stranded in the digital sea. Jeremy runs to his room to fetch the backup programs, but forgets that it's Fire Safety Day and runs into several teachers, eventually having to scale the roof to get to his room.

Meanwhile, the Skid stumbles upon another Lyoko and is attacked by two eel-like monsters. Jeremy is able to repair the navigation system and bring his friends home, after which he surmises that the replica of Lyoko is created from the portion of the Keys to Lyoko that X.A.N.A. has stolen from Aelita's subconscious in the second season finale, The Key. Jeremy wonders how he plans to use it.
