* XanatosGambit: This episode reveals that most of XANA's attacks have been this. If the Lyoko Warriors don't reverse time, then they have to live with the consequences of his attacks. But if they do reverse time, they give him more power. From this point onward, they start using the Return to the Past more sparingly so they can fight XANA without giving him more power.

This time, XANA possesses Sissi and makes her confront Jeremie. On Lyoko, Aelita has been hiding from the Hornets the whole time, but the others can't help her until Jeremie virtualizes them. Sissi takes Jeremie to the Boiler Room, where she is confronted by Odd and Ulrich. Sissi pulls out a metal pipe and attacks Ulrich. As Odd takes Jeremie back to the Lab, Ulrich and Sissi fight with metal pipes. On Lyoko, Aelita is captured by the Scyphozoa, which begins to drain her memory. Yumi and Ulrich enter Lyoko, cutting off the Scyphozoa's tentacles and freeing Aelita. Now, the only thing between Aelita and the activated tower was a Tarantula. After a few minutes of fighting, it's destroyed. Aelita deactivates the tower, just moments before Sissi was going to kill Ulrich with her metal pipe. The next day, Jeremie theorizes that jumping back in time increases XANA's power. From now on, they would have to limit time reversions, but unfortunately, it will be difficult.

* CaughtOnTape: Instead of ''going inside Aelita's room to talk in privacy'', Aelita and Jeremie load an entire confession of Aelita's true origins while Sissi is spying on them, and records them with her walkman. She uses this in an attempt to get into the gang, and in the second time loop, succeeds in telling her father, who then calls Odds parents....and then everything resets. When the final time rewind occurs, Ulrich steps on the walkman to erase the tape.
* DejaVu: The gang notice this, and because of their collective RippleEffectProofMemory, they all band together to see what's going on.

The next morning, on Tuesday, everyone is getting ready for school. Yumi is confronted by her father on why she's out so late. At school, Jeremie tries to cheer up Yumi, telling her it's going to be "a great day".Later in the day, Jeremie is confronted by Sissi, who shows him the taped conversation. She threatens to show her father, the principal, the tape if he didn't tell her what was really going on. In Mrs. Hertz's class, Jeremie tells Odd and Ulrich about Sissi's threat. They are interrupted by Mrs. Hertz, who then drills Odd with questions on photosynthesis.

* DejaVu: The gang notice this, and because of their collective RippleEffectProofMemory, they all band together to see what's going on.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Odd getting smarter by learning about photosynthesis (and he oddly found it enjoyable knowing the right answers for once), which directly parallels XANA getting smarter by resetting the time loop.
* FlawExploitation: XANA gets smart enough to take control of '''Sissi''' in the third loop, the first time he's controlled a Human in the real world, just to stop Jeremie from being this trope to him, as XANA realises that even if he resets time, the gang will try and reset everything back to normal just as quickly, and he can't keep resetting time too quickly, or his plan becomes pointless to act out.
* GroundhogDayLoop: The premise of the episode is that XANA keeps resetting time to make the super computer more powerful, as the more it resets, the more time and more calculations it can do to become smarter. This also has the side effect of Odd being uncharacteristically smart about photosynthesis, in the third loop taking over for the teacher and goes into what appears to be great detail about the process.
* LoopholeAbuse: Odd uses this to get good at science, while the rest of the gang use it by way of their RippleEffectProofMemory to stop XANA.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Odd uses the time loop to great effect, and for MundaneUtility purposes; to explore science, more specifically Photosynthesis, with the implication that by the third loop, he's giving Mrs. Hertz a run for her money. He surprisingly enjoys the subject, and starts reading up on it in the lab.
* OhCrap: The gangs' general reaction to XANA controlling a human; Sissi in this case, something not exhibited in the show before now as something he cannot do directly.

* ShoutOut: To ''Film/GroundhogDay'' of course, but the opening scene of each time loop is a more modern interpretation of the opening loop from the film. Phil Connor wakes up to a clock radio talking about the cold weather, while Jeremie wakes up to a digital alarm clock radio that also talks about the sunny weather.

The episode begins in Carthage, where Aelita is accessing XANA's data. With the Mantas about to hatch, Jeremie asks Aelita to stop so he can take over. The Mantas then emerge, forcing her to stop. Jeremie brings up the vehicles and everyone hops aboard. While waiting for Jeremie to open up the data stream, Ulrich jumps onto a pursuing Manta and destroys it, but he falls. Odd breaks his fall with his Overboard and everyone escapes the sector. With the data collected, Jeremie thinks he can develop an antivirus for Aelita.

When they get back to Kadic Junior High School, it's late at night. As Jeremie and Aelita talk in a dormitory hallway about Aelita's alias, they are being spied on by Sissi, who records the conversation on her walkman. Meanwhile, in the lab, the computer screen turns on for no reason.

The next morning, on Tuesday, everyone is getting ready for school. Yumi is confronted by her father on why she's out so late. At school, Jeremie tries to cheer up Yumi, telling her it's going to be "a great day".Later in the day, Jeremie is confronted by Sissi, who shows him the taped conversation. She threatens to show her father, the principal, the tape if he didn't tell her what was really going on. In Mrs. Hertz's class, Jeremie tells Odd and Ulrich about Sissi's threat. They are interrupted by Mrs. Hertz, who then drills Odd with questions on photosynthesis.

After class, Ulrich practices Pencak Silat in the gym, hoping to distract Sissi. As Sissi tries to keep up with Ulrich, Odd and Jeremie finger through Sissi's belongings to find the tape. Unfortunately, they are caught red-handed by Herb and Nicholas, who parade them to Sissi. As Sissi walks off, an unexpected time reversion sweeps by, bringing everyone back to Tuesday morning. With a second chance to get at Sissi, Ulrich asks her to join her in practicing Pencak Silat. In class, Odd correctly answers Mrs. Hertz's questions, already knowing the answers from before the time reversion. In the gym, Ulrich tells Sissi that Jeremie and Aelita are crazy, saying," for some strange reason, they think they're virtual people."

At the factory, Jeremie discovers that the data they recovered from Sector 5 allowed XANA to take control of the supercomputer's time reversion feature. Immediately after Jeremie locates the activated tower, another time reversion starts, bringing them back to Tuesday morning again. This time, the gang goes over to the factory immediately after class. Aelita, Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd enter Lyoko's Mountain sector, where they are confronted by a squadron of Hornets. Aelita and Odd jump off the path, landing on another path below while Yumi and Ulrich continue to fight the Hornets.At school, Sissi shows her father, the principal, the tape. The principal then calls Odd's parents to find out if Aelita is really Odd's cousin. On Lyoko, Yumi is devirtualized by the Hornets. Ulrich jumps off the edge to meet up with Aelita and Odd as the Hornets pursue. At school, Principal Delmas finds out Aelita isn't Odd's cousin, but another XANA-controlled time reversion brings everyone back to the start of the day.

This time, XANA possesses Sissi and makes her confront Jeremie. On Lyoko, Aelita has been hiding from the Hornets the whole time, but the others can't help her until Jeremie virtualizes them. Sissi takes Jeremie to the Boiler Room, where she is confronted by Odd and Ulrich. Sissi pulls out a metal pipe and attacks Ulrich. As Odd takes Jeremie back to the Lab, Ulrich and Sissi fight with metal pipes. On Lyoko, Aelita is captured by the Scyphozoa, which begins to drain her memory. Yumi and Ulrich enter Lyoko, cutting off the Scyphozoa's tentacles and freeing Aelita. Now, the only thing between Aelita and the activated tower was a Tarantula. After a few minutes of fighting, it's destroyed. Aelita deactivates the tower, just moments before Sissi was going to kill Ulrich with her metal pipe. The next day, Jeremie theorizes that jumping back in time increases XANA's power. From now on, they would have to limit time reversions, but unfortunately, it will be difficult.
