XCVI
The Scotsman, now an old man in a wheelchair, is accompanied by his daughters and other armies. Together they attack the stronghold of Aku. The villain is bored but he annihilates the other armies and then turns on the Scotsman. The Scotsman is killed but his ghost lives on. His daughters and his ghost go looking for Jack.
Jack and Ashi leave the island on the back of a giant sea serpent. The night before, while Jack slept, she saw visions of her teacher telling her to kill Jack while he slept, but she refused. Ashi now wants proof of all that Jack has told her. He refuses at first but he eventually relents.
They travel on and find a decimated village. A survivor tells him that someone evil took their children. Jack and Ashi go after the children. The evil robot-like creature has hypnotized the children. They attack Jack on command. Ashi goes after the device that is controlling the children.
She eventually finds it and defeats the villain. Jack thinks the children are dead. He sees the ghost warrior. It tells him that it is time. Jack leaves with the ghost warrior, before Ashi finds him.
I have problems with this episode. There are things about it that I like but I think that there's more that I do not like. The scene with the Scotsman at the beginning was good although all it did was reintroduce him. He and his daughters will probably return before the season is over.
Ashi has gone from being convinced that Jack is evil to accepting his word. It seems a little too fast of a change for me.
Part of the problem with comparing this season to the previous ones is that it is a completely different beast in many ways. This season is one story. They never did that in the first four seasons.
Not awful but I'm not crazy about this episode.
