Back at the Temple Kimiko’s attempts to use the Comb end up in disaster due to her lack of focus. Master Fung has her attempt to train her focus by pouring tea from a humongous tea pot into tiny cups, but fails due to her fellow monks teasing her with her previous failure or through continued sexist remarks.
Meanwhile in the lair of Jack Spicer the teenage genius is ecstatic about the abilities given to him by the Monkey Staff (the agility, balance, and strength of a monkey as well as a tail), much to Wuya’s exasperation. She warns him the longer he holds onto the staff the more monkey-like he will become. They are interrupted by a young women entering the lair who expresses her interest in the idea of world domination. Jack screeches at her as he grows even more monkey-like as Wuya predicted and she leaves. Wuya then senses the awakening of a new Shen-Gong-Wu; the Golden Tiger Claws which allow the user to travel to anywhere they desire.
