Dog Day Afternoon is the fifteenth episode of Season 4 and the eightieth episode of Code Lyoko.

Plot[]

In the boys' locker room before gym class, Odd discovers he forgot to bring socks with him from his dorm. However, Kiwi soon arrives with a pair of socks in his mouth, much to Odd's delight. Meanwhile, at the track, tenth graders are running laps. While Yumi wins her race, the William Clone does not comprehend the idea of a race and does not run on Jim's mark, arousing Sissi's suspicions. Even after Yumi tries to distract her with a lie about dating William, Sissi remains skeptical.

At lunch, the Lyoko Warriors discuss the close call at the track, and Jeremie reminds them that the clone's stupidity is out of his control and to fix and upgrade the quality of it he had to reprogram everything. The others also encourage Yumi to keep up the façade of dating the William clone in order to prevent other people from getting close to it. Jeremie then announces he has updated the security for the tower controlling the clone, and asks one of the others to accompany Aelita to Lyoko while she installs the new programs in the tower. Odd volunteers, and also asks Jeremie if he can bring Kiwi to Lyoko, suggesting his superior sense of smell may be of use to them. Jeremie, however, categorically refuses Odd's offer as bringing Kiwi to Lyoko would be nothing more than a nuisance for all of them.

After classes let out, Jeremie, Aelita, and Odd go to the Factory, and it is revealed Odd has secretly brought Kiwi with him in his backpack. The trio also finds evidence of a motorcycle gang having been on the Factory's main floor. Meanwhile, in the dorms, Sissi confronts the clone about its suspicious behavior, but Yumi arrives shortly afterward and takes the clone out for a walk to get away from Sissi.

In the scanner room, unbeknownst to Jeremie and Aelita, Odd takes Kiwi into the scanner with him when he is virtualized onto the Desert Sector. However, once he and Aelita arrive on Lyoko, Kiwi does not appear. As Aelita enters the tower to install the new security features, Odd worries about Kiwi and begins to act strangely dog-like such as hearing monsters on the other side of the sector or being unable to keep balance on his Overboard. On Earth, Sissi trails Yumi and the William clone into town.

When Aelita finishes her work in the tower, Jeremie manually devirtualizes her and Odd, and they return to Earth. However, to Odd's horror, Kiwi does not return in the scanner with him, and he continues to become more canine. Yumi then calls Jeremie and asks him to take over watching the Clone so that she may go home for the day. When Jeremie, Odd, and Aelita arrive back on campus, Odd's condition worsens as he is able to find a watch Jim had lost using only his sense of smell.

Aelita, Jeremie, and Odd meet up with Ulrich in his and Odd's dorm room, and Odd takes Kiwi's pet bowl and then finds out that he's growing a tail and finally admits to his friends that he took Kiwi into the scanner with him. Jeremie theorizes that Odd absorbed Kiwi during the virtualization process and that the two of them are now fighting for control of the same body. He also believes he can separate them using the scanners. Aelita calls Yumi, explains the situation, and asks her to stay with the clone a while longer so that the others may return to the Factory to fix Odd.

Ulrich, Jeremie, Odd, and Aelita then head back to the Factory, where they discover the biker gang has returned. The gang refuses to let the group into the building until Odd's canine behavior causes him to attack one of the bikers. Odd's condition frightens the gang, allowing the group to flee into the Factory and use the elevator. Jeremie then sends Odd to the Mountain Sector and begins unscrambling his and Kiwi's DNA.

However, the Superscan soon detects an activated tower in the Ice Sector, and Aelita and Ulrich are sent to Lyoko to deactivate it. When they arrive at the tower, they are immediately confronted by William and three Tarantulas, and a fight begins. Meanwhile, in the Mountain Sector, Odd is confronted by three Bloks and is forced to flee so that he won't get devirtualized because if Odd is devirtualized before Jeremie separates him and Kiwi, the fusion will likely become permanent.

Jeremie calls Yumi and asks her to come to the Factory. She's angry at him but he tells her to get to the factory as soon as possible. To keep Sissi away from the William clone, Jeremie uses the Supercomputer to call her cell phone and then uses his voice synthesizer program to impersonate her father and demand she return to campus to finish her homework. The ploy is successful, and Yumi heads over to the Factory, leaving the clone alone on a sidewalk bench.

In the Mountain Sector, the Bloks close in on Odd, and he is forced to fight back despite the danger. Yumi then arrives at the Factory, where she notices that the elevator is not working. She calls Jeremie to know what's going on and he replies that he had turned it off so the biker gang wouldn't go after them. He asks her if she had seen anything suspicious in the town and she denies. Jeremie tells her that he will turn the elevator on and hangs up. Yumi then hears a noise of running engines and notices that all the members of the biker gang have been possessed by X.A.N.A.. Meanwhile, in the Ice Sector, William corners Aelita on the edge of a platform, planning to knock her into the Digital Sea. Ulrich intervenes after defeating the Tarantulas, but is quickly devirtualized by William, leaving Aelita alone.

After learning Aelita is in danger, Odd uses a way tower to travel to the Ice Sector to help her, despite the DNA separation still being incomplete. Meanwhile, in the Factory, Yumi is chased around the building's various rooms by the gang. While attempting to escape the assembly room, one of the bikers fires a bolt of electricity at Yumi's, injuring her. No longer able to run and being greatly exhausted, Yumi resorts to hiding, and barricades herself in an office room. In the Ice Sector, Odd leaves the way tower and uses his hearing to locate Aelita. He hears her generating an Energy Field and rushes in that direction. Aelita duels with William before making a break for the activated tower. However, William beats her there using his Super Smoke ability, leaving Aelita cornered.

Odd then arrives at the tower as well and intercepts William, allowing Aelita to enter the tower. As Odd battles William, the bikers manage to break into the room Yumi is hiding in and attack her again. Just as Jeremie finishes unscrambling Odd and Kiwi's DNA, Odd is devirtualized by William, and he and Kiwi return to Earth in separate scanners. Aelita deactivates the tower, and the bikers all fall unconscious as their possession is lifted, saving Yumi. The Lyoko Warriors work together move the bikers, still unconscious, to the bridge and coat Kiwi's mouth with toothpaste. When the bikers wake up, they assume Kiwi is rabid and flee the Factory.

The next day, the group meets in the courtyard, where Yumi tells Sissi she has broken up with William, and explains away the clone's stupidity as William's way of sulking. Odd then wonders if he still has Kiwi's superior olfactory sense, as he can smell beef stew and Brussels sprouts in the cafeteria from all the way across the courtyard.

Trivia[]

  • The original French name for this episode is Kiwodd, a portmanteau of Kiwi and Odd's names.
  • This was originally episode 78 chronologically during the scripting phase.[1]
  • This episode marks the first and only time an animal is ever brought to Lyoko.
  • Odd and Kiwi come out of two different scanners even though they entered the same one. This confirms that a person may not necessarily exit from the same one used for their virtualization.
  • When Sissi enters William's dorm, one of the posters on his wall appears to be the original movie poster for the 1971 Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange.

Errors[]

  • When Odd walks over to Kiwi to get his socks, he's already wearing them.
  • The students sitting behind Yumi, Jeremie and Odd at the cafeteria change between shots.
  • When Yumi is sitting on a bench with the William Clone, she has her bracelet on the wrong arm, then it disappears. It is also missing when Ulrich picks her up near the end of the episode.
  • Sissi's bracelet appears and disappears throughout the episode.
  • When Odd is talking to two Bloks, the Way Tower on the plateau behind him disappears.
