S02:E11 - Back to School

As the Knights battle Jestro – in a somewhat haphazard and lazy way – they discuss the fact that Jestro never wins and that they’re always getting over on him. Despite defeating the jerky Jester and his evil Book, Merlok 2.0 discovers that something about the attack on the village is tied to the Knights’ Academy. It looks like that’s where they’ll strike next. It wouldn’t hurt for the Knights to go “back to school” to watch for Jestro and for some refresher training. Merlok is sure Jestro wants something at the Academy, but he doesn’t know what it is. The Knights are very much “fish out of water” at the academy, even with the “cool kids” – Robin and Ava – showing them around. The next generation of Knights is being taught to integrate the NEXO-Magic of Merlok into their fighting techniques and these kids are good (so good, they initially kick the lazy, know-it-all Knight’s butts!) Their old principal, the ever-ornery Headmaster Brickland, sets them straight: they’re all still slackers, and they better get their acts together (especially Lance!) The Knights take shifts as “library helpers” much to the delight of the old squirebot librarian, MARGE. They’re convinced Jestro is after a book…isn’t he always after a book? When Jestro attacks, the Knights help organize the students and there’s a big fight in the Academy Library versus Jestro and his Monsters. They drive Jestro off without letting him steal any books! Victory! But as Jestro leaves, we see him holding what the Book of Monsters really wanted: a snow globe with a castle in it that was sitting on the librarian’s desk. In the Lava Lands, Jestro throws the snow globe into a volcano and it frees the massive Castle of Monstrux from its snowy magic prison.
