History Recap / CodeLyokoS4E17

* AmazinglyEmbarassingParents: Jeremie is very embarrassed by his father bringing up his obvious feelings for Aelita.

!! This episode contains examples of:

* ImposterForgotOneDetail: XANA!Franz did not code in Aelita's Mother, nor does he remember the viking shop name the skid is named after; both of which clues in Aelita that Franz is still very much out there, and XANA tricked her.
* LoveMakesYouStupid: A non-romantic variant. Aelita wants to visit her father so much, that all logic flies off the window, and she doesn't even ''consider'' that it's a XANA trap. Aelita wises up later on when XANA doesn't recognise the name of the viking ship the Skid is named after.

* OpenMindedParent: Jérémie's father is very receptive to the idea of his 14-year-old son having a girlfriend, even saying how the boy's romance reminds him of his own relationship with Jeremie's mother. Jérémie even reveals that his parents have no issue with Aelita staying over at his house, simply being eager to meet her.
* ShoutOut: To the StarWars saga, when Odd tells Ulrich "May the force be with you!" when he's about to spend the holidays with his dysfunctional family.

* VacationEpisode: Similar to [[Recap/CodeLyokoS1E3 Holiday in the Fog]], both episodes feature all the Lyoko Warriors except one going home for vacation, with all of them eventually returning to fight XANA. Both episodes also feature scenes of Odd at the airport about to go through security before turning back to return to Kadic. XANA trapping one of the heroes in a simulation bubble also occurred in [[Recap/CodeLyokoS1E24 Ghost Channel]], and in both cases Aelita destroys the bubble, though events play out very differently in this episode.
* WhamEpisode: XANA's strategy for this season is finally made clear: He is using Aelita to get to Franz Hopper, his true target, and is trying to throw her into the Digital Sea to force him out of hiding in order to save her. Therefore, giving him the opportunity to try to kill Franz once and for all.

* WhamEpisode: XANA's strategy for this season is finally made totally clear: He's trying to kill Franz Hopper once and for all, and is throwing Aelita into the Digital Sea primarily to accomplish that. Also as such, Franz Hopper makes his real, present-day debut.

** At the end of the episode, Odd gives presents to the rest of the group, and asks Ulrich and Yumi if they're not going to open theirs. Ulrich answers that, in Japan, one shouldn't open a present in front of the person that gave it to them, as Yumi taught him in [[Recap/CodeLyokoS4E13 Lab Rat]].
** Ulrich remembers Yumi's present-giving traditions that comes with Japanese culture.

* OpenMindedParent: Jérémie's father is very receptive to the idea of his 14 years old son having a girlfriend, even saying how Jeremie's romance with Aelita reminds him of his own relationship with Jeremie's mother.

* UncertainDoom: Aelita's dream reveals that her mother was kidnapped by the TheMenInBlack. We don't get to know what happened to her afterwards.

* OpenMindedParent: Jérémie's father is very receptive to the idea of his 14 years old son having a girlfriend. Jérémie indicates that they would have no issue with Aelita staying over at his house.

* AbusiveParents: Ulrich is forced once again to put up with his father's constant berating of him, not seeming to care about the reason why Ulrich's grades are so low, and continues have a very low opinion of his friends despite not knowing them; his mother's actions aren't much better, being an enabler that just sits by and watches her husband berate Ulrich. In this episode, Mr. Stern's treatment of Ulrich greatly contrasts with [[GoodParents how Mr. Belpois treats his own son, Jérémie]].
* ArtShift: Aelita's dream sequence.

* BatmanGambit: In this episode, the Lyoko Warriors figure out why XANA wants so much to throw Aelita into the digital sea: to draw Franz Hopper out of hiding, because, being the PapaWolf he is, XANA knows he'll come out from the digital sea to save his daughter.
