* RaceAgainstTheClock: Getting badgered for the constant failures, Valmont says they could still eventually retrieve the other 10 talismans somehow from Section 13. Shendu says he needs all of the talismans before the Chinese New Year, saying that is crucial to his plan.

** Upon learning the Tiger Talisman is about balance, Jade scoffs at this and dismisses it as not a real power. It turns out to be the RequiredSecondaryPowers for using all the talismans at once. Also, Valmont manages to trick Jackie's Yang half into retrieving the other talismans, which he does in practically no time.

* ToBeContinued: Shendu regaining his true form.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: When the Tiger Talisman splits in two, it separates the holder's good (Yin) and bad (Yang) qualities into two separate bodies. Yin Jackie is overly sensitive and adverse to fighting (but can do so if he has to), while Yang Jackie is obnoxious, eager to fight, and willing to take a bribe from Valmont (though as Uncle explains, he's not necessarily evil, just all of Jackie's bad personality traits in one body, without any of his good traits to balance it). Reuniting the two halves of the talisman will fuse the two Jackie's back together.
