S02:E16 - Knight Out

Clay needs a vacation. Or, actually, the knights need a vacation from Clay! Clay is so super-focused that sometimes they just can’t take it: training, training, maintenance, the Knights’ Code tests then…more training. Even Merlok 2.0 is exhausted and he has no physical form! So, the Knights send Clay off on a holiday against his will (arranged by Lance because if there’s one thing he can do it’s plan a vacation.) But unbeknownst to the other Knights, Jestro and the Book of Monsters are tracking an evil book. A book that they suspect is located near the resort “Exalted Towers” renowned for its exquisite service, where Clay is staying. It’s the BOOK OF CRUELTY and Clay notices that it’s affecting the “high class” resort where Lance has booked him: the service is terrible, the staff is nasty, and everyone seems to take joy in being cruel to him (and to each other.) Meanwhile, the other Knights are having a terrible time because they realize that Clay takes charge of the basic maintenance of almost everything in the Fortrex. Stuff starts breaking down, chores are not getting done and everyone is getting on each other’s nerves. Clay senses things are “off” at the resort, and discovers the book they’ve been using as the guest register is really the Book of Cruelty. As Clay scoops it up, he looks outside to see…Jestro and his monsters arrive on the Evilmobile. Clay battles as best he can on his own by setting traps and being cunning but he’s finally caught. Just when it looks like this will be the cruelest vacation ever; the other Knights arrive on their vehicles! They spring into action, free Clay, and battle and defeat Jestro and the monsters – though Jestro escapes. The Knights make Clay promise to never go on vacation again.
