In the recent past, Young Adam arrives in Korea in his search for a shard of the Zeo Crystal. He seeks out an ancient Wiseman named Kai-Ogi but instead keeps running into a persistently annoying, riddle-spouting old man! Back in the present, Billy seeks out a device he'll need to re-combine the Zeo Crystal, and ends up webbed-up by the Arachnofiend monster, sent by Zedd & Rita to hamper his efforts. Can the Aquitians pull themselves away from their newfound love of walking through car washes to save him? Meanwhile, Rito and Goldar finally see light at the end of the tunnels under the Command Center.
Tropes:
- Actually, I Am Him: The annoying old man IS Kai-Ogi.
- Amusing Alien: Cestro and Tideus go through the car wash and come out feeling refreshed.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: Arachnofiend
- Foreshadowing: The glow of Adam's Zeo Crystal is colored green and is shaped like a rectangle.
- Here We Go Again!: The episode ends with Goldar and Rito back outside the entrance, after spending the past few episodes trying to navigate through the tunnels.
- Where the Hell Is Springfield?: It's never spelled out, for obvious reasons, what Korea Adam traveled to. It can be inferred from the surroundings that it is North Korea long before the Down-With-Imperialism Union was founded.
