"The Apprentice" is the thirty-fifth episode of Xiaolin Showdown. It was directed by Ray DeLaurentis and written by Stephen Sandoval. It originally aired in the United States on Kids WB on May 7, 2005.

Overview

Chase Young looks for an apprentice. Either Katnappé or Jack will be able to win it. Katnappé has reprogrammed the Warriors' U-bots to be evil. Master Fung informs the Warriors that their new threat is Chase Young, and he must teach the four monks to be deceptive to triumph. However, Omi is too trustworthy. After Chase chooses Katnappé to be his apprentice, Jack turns to the Warriors and asks to join the side of good. Omi trains Jack the best he can to release all the evil that is inside of him, but after Katnappé attacks the Temple, Jack takes off with the Warriors' Wu, which tests Omi's trust.

Synopsis

To defeat their newest and most powerful enemy, Chase Young, Master Fung teaches the Warriors the art of deception. He asks the Warriors to reach the top of the cliff, and he wants them to deceive each other in order to get to the top first as Clay says "I get it". Raimundo tells Omi to look to the right as the former jumps on the latter being distracted. Raimundo jumps on the cliff before Omi. Clay says "how about a hand, partner" when he walks up to Omi to take the latter. Clay swings Omi around and slams him to Raimundo's back. Then Omi and Raimundo fall off the cliff as Kimiko and Clay climb on. Omi rubs his head when he says "I see you offered me a hand, only to deceive" while Raimundo rubs his head. Omi says "I have learned my lesson" as he runs to the cliff again. Then it shows Kimiko, Clay, Omi and Raimundo climbing on the cliff. Omi says "I shall never be deceive again!" as Kimiko has an idea how to deceive the former. Kimiko pretends to be hurt when she says "ow, my leg!" which Omi sees as he climbs back down to help her. Kimiko gives Omi her hand then she tossed the latter towards Clay and Raimundo when they are climbing back up. In the end, Kimiko wins, and the others conclude that Omi needs to learn to be less trusting towards others, as he was tricked the most often during the drill. At Jack Spicer's lair, after having a big fight with his new Robo-Jack, Chase Young appears and offers a challenge: Jack and Katnappé will race to get the next Shen Gong Wu, and the winner will become his apprentice. The Shen Gong Wu happens to be the Woozy Shooter. When the Warriors try to get it, they encounter their U-bot counterparts, only to realize they have been re-programmed by Katnappé in order to stop the monks, and so Katnappé takes the Woozy Shooter.

While the Warriors are despairing over the U-Bots' betrayal, Jack comes to the Xiaolin Temple, saying what a failure he is. Omi suggests that he stay in the Xiaolin Temple and fight for the side of good---to which he readily agrees. The next morning, Omi and the other monks send Jack to do all their chores. While Jack is sleeping, Clay Bailey notices the U-Bots are stealing the Monsoon Sandals, the Lotus Twister, the Ring of the Nine Dragons and the Shroud of Shadows. Then Katnappé uses the Woozy Shooter, putting all the Warriors in a hallucinating state. Jack wakes up, and Katnappé attempts to use the Woozy Shooter on him, but he uses the Reversing Mirror to reflect it back onto her. While the Warriors snap out of their state, they attack their U-Bots. However, Jack notices all the Shen Gong Wu at his disposal and runs off with them, much to Omi's disappointment.

Jack presents the stolen Shen Gong Wu to Chase and Wuya, and Chase agrees to take him in as his apprentice. Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay but Omi regrettably care for Katnappé after last night. Katnappé called Omi cute and he agrees but Clay pulls him away from her. However, when Katnappé is alone, she attempts to sneak around to steal more Shen Gong Wu from the vault but Master Fung locked the doors. Katnappé is noticed by Omi when the latter tells the former to rest her injured paw. Katnappé tells Omi that she was just lonely. Omi tells Katnappé that he has the U-Bots to bring Katnappé bandages while they keep her company. The U-Bots carry Katnappé while the latter says "this is so thoughtful of you" to Omi. Katnappé asks "how can I ever repay you" when Omi is walking next to her. Omi tells Katnappé "perhaps you should turn to the side of good". Katnappé says "what if I found a way to return all the Shen Gong Wu that Jack stole" and "I know where he keeps them". Omi asks Katnappé "why would you help me?" Katnappé says "because you are so, so cute" while she pinches Omi's cheeks then she stops. Then Omi says "so I have been told". Katnappé says "but if I help you, you have to keep our plan a secret" and "the others would never trust me" as she glares evilly. Omi and Katnappé are on the brick wall and jump down to enter Jack Spicer's house. Omi kicks a door as he and Katnappe walk inside a room. Omi tells Jack "time for my revenge, Jack Spicer!" and he does a flying kick at him. Jack's head comes flying off while Omi says "huh?" while it rolls to him. Omi jumps onto Katnappé's arms while his eyes bulge when he says AAHHH!!! I DID NOT WANT THAT MUCH REVENGE!!"

Katnappé tells Omi "eh, that's just one of his stupid robots" while she pushes Omi off her and says "now for the Wu". Then Katnappé walks to the picture of the safe and removes it from the wall and tossed it to the ground as Omi walks to her. Omi says "looks like a most difficult safe to spin". Katnappé corrects him as she says "to crack" and says "but it is Jack's safe" then she says the combination to open it to reveal a sack of the stolen Shen Gong Wu inside. Jack appears behind Omi and Katnappé. Then Jack says "well, look who's here?", "leader of the kung fools and his pet" as Omi and Katnappé turn around. Jack reveals more of his robot clones as Katnappé screeches then Jack tells his robot clones to attack. Omi and Katnappé dodge the Robo-Jacks. Omi leaps onto a Robo-Jack arm and destroys one of the Robo-Jacks. Omi dodges the laser that Robo-Jack aims at the former. Katnappé kicks two Robo-Jacks away from her. While trying to reclaim the Shen Gong Wu Omi and Jack get into a Xiaolin Showdown—a game of "Truth or Lie." Jack's house releases a massive cloud of balloons big enough to stand on. One player asks the other a yes or no question, and if he answers truthfully, nothing happens, but if he has the courage to provide a false response, the balloon he's standing on will pop. The players may pop balloons on their own and jump onto new balloons, but whoever hits the ground first loses the Xiaolin Showdown.

Sneaky as ever, Jack starts by popping Omi's balloon, and Omi bounces back up of another and returns the favor. Omi asks Jack if he only does evil because he feels small and worthless. Jack says no, but this turns out to be a lie, so his balloon pops and Jack falls to a lower one. Jack asks Omi if he only became a Xiaolin Warrior because he feels like a geek with a big head. Omi says no, and this turns out to be a truth, so Omi's balloon doesn't pop. However, Jack points out that Omi's got a big ego, which Omi denies, but this turns out to be a lie, so Omi's balloon pops and he has to use the Silk Spitter to make it onto another one. Then Omi asks if Jack stole the Shen Gong Wu only because he thought he wouldn't be good enough to be a Xiaolin Monk. Jack says no, but this is another lie and using the Lotus Twister, he grabs onto another balloon. Jack then asks, "Did you really believe me when I agreed to turn good or did you just take me in because you wanted to prove your friends wrong?"

Omi says that he really did believe in Jack and that he was genuinely saddened and disappointed when Jack betrayed him---and this turns out to be a truth. Jack's surprised but then says he was planning on double-crossing him and the other monks all along, but this turns out to be a lie, and as a result, Jack's balloon pops and he falls to the ground, losing the showdown.

However, Katnappé's nowhere to be seen, having snuck out of Jack's yard with the Shen Gong Wu, joined by the U-Bots. However, the U-Bots have been reprogrammed again, this time by Kimiko, and they disarm and bind Katnappé. Omi and the others step out from behind some trees and explains that he had a feeling that she was going to eventually double-cross him and his friends, so he decided to double-cross her before she had a chance to do so.

Then back at the Xiaolin Temple, Omi shows his new sneaky tricks by playing poker, combining bluffs with sincerity, and secretly sticking aces up his sleeves after Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay toss their cards at him as the latter three leave the table.

Truth or Lies

Omi and Jack both touch the Monsoon Sandals at the same time, starting a Xiaolin Showdown. Jack wagers his Lotus Twister against Omi's Silk Spitter, and the game is decided upon Truth or Lies.

When the showdown begins, Jack's house disappears, and many balloons with different symbols rise out of the ground. Omi and Jack each get on a balloon, and the showdown starts. Jack pops Omi's balloon, and Omi pops Jack's balloon. Omi asks Jack if he seeks world domination because he feels small and worthless, which Jack denies. The balloon confirms this was a lie and pops, sending Jack falling. Jack asks Omi if he works so hard because he has a big head, which Omi denies, telling the truth. Omi lies about his ego, however, and his balloon pops. Omi asks Jack if he took the Wu because he was afraid of failing at good, which turns out to be a truth, although Jack says it was a lie. Jack asks Omi if he believed him when he joined the temple, and Omi says he did, which is a truth. Jack Spicer claims he was going to fool them all along, which was a lie, causing him to fall all the way to the bottom, and winning the showdown for Omi.
