Recap
Template:Spoiler It all starts out with Jeremie working on Aelita's materialization program. He gives the program seven trial runs to be absolutely sure it works. The program is effective in all seven simulations. In an excited tone of voice, he calls Yumi and she starts making the preparations.
In the kitchen of the Ishiyama's suburban home Mr. Ishiyama is shoveling soba noodles into his mouth with chopsticks. Yumi enters the room and asks her parents if her "pen-pal" can stay at the house. Her father puts down the noodle bowl and says that Yumi has left him and her mother in the dark on this pen pal. They want to know about her before allowing her into their home. Mr. Ishiyama asks what the pen-pal's name is. Yumi immediately says, "Aelita...um..." she hesitates and then grabs a name out of the air, "Lyoko. Aelita Lyoko." Hearing this name, Mr. Ishiyama asks Yumi if Aelita is Japanese. Yumi responds in the affirmative. The next question is if Aelita's parents are employed or not. Yumi says, "Yes. They work in...um...computers." This information, coupled with Aelita's supposed heritage, pleases the Ishiyamas. They consent to Aelita staying. Yumi thanks her parents profusely and hugs her father, kissing him. She runs out the door and her parents smile.
At Kadic Junior High School, events are unfolding in the Headmaster's office. Odd and Ulrich are with the Headmaster. Odd gives a forged note from his parents recommending Aelita to Kadic. Headmaster Delmas reviews that note and comments that Aelita certainly has excellent qualifications, but he admits that she is an enigma to him. Headmaster Delmas asks Odd where Aelita is from. Odd scratches his back nervously and spits out the first country that comes to mind. "She's from...uh...Holland." Headmaster Delmas nods his head and agrees to enroll Aelita in the school.
When they come exit the Administrative Wing, Jim is there and asks Odd and Ulrich what they are doing in the building. Ulrich simply tells him that he and Odd had an appointment with the Headmaster.
Outside the two boys tell Yumi that events have been set in motion that will allow Aelita to live the life of a normal schoolchild. Suddenly, Jeremie calls them and tells them to accompany him to his dormitory. Sissi and her gang sees them leave. Jim then comes up to Sissi and her accomplices and asks if they know the whereabouts of Jeremie, Ulrich, Odd and Yumi. Clearly he is still suspicious of the activities of Team Lyoko. Sissi tells Jim that she saw the four friends headed for Jeremie's room.
In Jeremie's room the gang huddles around Jeremie's desktop computer. Aelita pops up onscreen via a window and greets everyone and asks them what the occassion is. Jeremie, with visile elation, tells Aelita, "We are waiting for you here!" Aelita's face lightens up and she says in a breathless voice tinged with euphoria, "Really?!?" Yumi tells Aelita that the group has made preparations so that the digital AI can finally come to Earth. Aelita goes offscreen overjoyed. The gang about-faces and readies to go into the hallway. However, they run into Jim who is blocking the doorframe. The campus supervisor tells the group members that they aren't leaving this spot until they tell him what they are up to. Serendipity is on the group's side, however, as Headmaster Delmas is walking down the hallway at that moment. He sees Jim interrogating the students and tells his employee to stand down and tells Jim to drop his conspiracy theories about secret passageways. Jim folds to the pressure and the kids go free.
In the Factory, Ulrich, Yumi and Odd get transfered, scanned and virtualized into Lyoko. They appear in the Forest Sector where they meet Aelita. Their mission: to take Aelita to the Tower where she can be materialized. When they are virtualized, Jeremie puts in the disk but it is actually the Break, Break, Break Dance CD that Odd made. Jeremie has to go back to Kadic, he tells them to wait in the tower.
As Jeremie goes inside the room to get the CD, when he comes back he crashes into Jim, Jim doesn't let him pass, Jeremie goes right and left and runs away, but while Jeremie is running down the stairs, he falls down and sprain his ankle. Everyone that witnessed it says that it is Jim's fault. In Lyoko, the gang is wondering what is taking Jeremie so long, but a Megatank comes and starts attacking the tower. Ulrich, Yumi and Odd attack the Megatank.
At Kadic, Jeremie is in the infirmary, and Yolanda doesn't let him leave, he agrees to tell Jim everything about them if he helps him. Jim takes Jeremie through the passage way and he keeps saying "I knew it! I knew it!" When they are in the factory, Jeremie and Jim go down the elevator and go to the supercomputer. Odd is devirtualized and so is Yumi. When they go up to the supercomputer, Yumi says "Jeremie, Ulrich and Aelita are...." and Yumi and Odd see Jim standing there, Jeremie tells them that Jim is part of the gang now.
In Lyoko, Ulrich destroys one of the Megatanks with his Triplicate; Jeremie inserts the disk and gets ready for the materialization progress. Jim yells out "Go Ulrich! Show this Xana thing who’s the boss!" The Megatank gets ready to attack and shoots; Ulrich stops it with the sword. Meanwhile Jeremie is materializing Aelita, Ulrich says he can't hold on anymore, and get devirtualized. In the tower everything is shaking and Jeremie says Code: Earth and Aelita is materialized.
In the scanners, Yumi is holding Ulrich, Odd and Jeremie and Jim are waiting for Aelita. Jeremie says "She's here at last" and the scanners open and Aelita is in there everyone says "Welcome to Earth!" Aelita opens her eyes Template:Endspoiler
