Mister Pück is the fifth episode of Season 2 and the thirty-first episode of Code Lyoko.
Plot[]
Aelita is having nightmares of a small elf being chased by wolves. The wolves catch up to him as Aelita wakes up. Jeremie suggests that they go back to the Hermitage. When they get there, Aelita has another vision. Once again, the nightmare of the wolves returns. The vision guides Aelita to look behind a poster of a tree and there, she finds a small doll that looks like the elf. Even though she has seemingly never seen it before, she knows its name: Mister Pück.
While examining Mister Pück at school, Sissi comes by and teases Aelita by taking the doll and throwing it around between her, Nicholas and Herb, causing a small key to fall out. As Sissi is about to grab it Ulrich steps on it prohibiting her from taking the key. He then picks it up and gives it to Jeremie, who, during math class with Mrs. Meyer, starts investigating it and finds out that it is the key to a railway locker. When they go to the local train station and look inside the locker number 167, they find Franz Hopper's diary on a set of CDs. Unfortunately, it is heavily encrypted and Jeremie points out that it will take a very long time to decode.
Back at school the next morning, X.A.N.A. tries to possess Odd and Ulrich, but fails on both attempts. They tell Jeremie about it, and he assumes that the attack has failed since no activated tower is detected. However, after Odd and Ulrich leave his room, the ghost successfully takes control of Jeremie, who destroys the discs containing the diary. Later in gym class, the possessed Jeremie fake-twists his ankle and asks Jim if Aelita can take him to the infirmary. When they are out of sight, he knocks Aelita out with an electric shock and kidnaps her, but Yumi witnesses this from a girls washroom window in the science building and informs Odd and Ulrich immediately. Before she goes to the factory, Yumi quickly goes to Jeremie's room to write down the coordinates of the tower and notices the destroyed CDs in the suitcase.
As Jeremie takes Aelita to the Factory, the others pursue them. Once they catch up, Jeremie easily overpowers Odd and Ulrich, but Yumi manages to ambush and stun him with a wrench and get Aelita away from him. Everyone then goes down to the lab, except for Odd, who stays behind to fend Jeremie off and give the others time to deactivate the tower. Unfortunately for Odd, Jeremie has X.A.N.A.'s powers, including the ability to punch steel, the power to electrocute and even levitation. Odd puts up a good fight, but it's a losing game for him.
On Lyoko, Yumi and Ulrich fight off four Bloks in the Ice Sector. Jeremie defeats Odd and heads down to the lab, where he manually devirtualizes Yumi. A Blok freezes Aelita's leg so she can't get to the tower. Ulrich is left trying to destroy the Bloks, then the Scyphozoa comes and grabs Aelita. Odd comes down to the lab to continue the fight and tries to poke Jeremie's eyes with his fingers, but he remembers that Jeremie wears glasses. Yumi, devirtualized by Jeremie, comes up to the lab and fights him until Jeremie takes her out. Ulrich cuts the Scyphozoa's tentacles and Aelita runs to the tower. Odd then gets up and Jeremie grabs Odd by the wrist, shocking him until Aelita deactivates the tower.
Jeremie, freed of X.A.N.A.'s influence, is notified by the others that X.A.N.A. has possessed him and made him destroy all of Franz Hopper's CDs as if he was afraid of something. But Jeremie announces that he made copies of the diary after they returned back from the train station and put them in the restricted part of the supercomputer, where the files are safe as he's the only one who can access them. Ulrich still wonders why X.A.N.A.'s ghosts were unable to control him or Odd and have no trouble possessing Jeremie. Yumi theorizes that it must be because their experience of fighting X.A.N.A.'s monsters on Lyoko made them more resistant.
At the group's suggestion, Jeremie goes to Lyoko, but after fighting a bunch of Megatanks (off-screen), he swears off going to Lyoko, preferring the lab. Everyone gets a good laugh out of Jeremie's "ridiculous" (off-screen) appearance on Lyoko. That night, Aelita is all tucked in bed and is fast asleep, holding her childhood doll. We hear a little girl's voice and fade to black.
