At the Monastery of Spinjitzu Wu is meditating. He is interrupted by hearing the ninja arguing. Wu goes to the video game room only to find that none of the Ninja are there. Wu goes to the training compound and is shocked to see that the Ninja are actually training. Jay is deflecting arrows with his weapon, Cole is practicing on the dummies. Kai is practicing his Spinjitzu, and Zane and Aria are meditating.

Zane suddenly gets up from his meditation process and disturbs the other Ninja. He starts by jumping in front of Jay. He steals Cole's weapon for the dummy test and his spinjitzu freezes the whole compound, causing Kai to slip.

Aria opened her eyes and looked around "Kai why are you on the floor"

"oh you know" Kai looks annoyed "just watching the clouds"

Aria walks over to talk to Zane while Kai, Jay and Cole regroup. Wu approaches the three disturbed Ninja.

"Sensei, Zane's... weird" Kai says

"What is weird? Someone who is different or someone who is different than you?" Wu questions

"No, Sensei. He's "weird" weird" Cole clarifies

"We like the guy. He's really smart. He's just..." Kai sighs "a little off sometimes"

"Zane is a brother and brothers are often different. I should know" Wu says

The Postman arrives the Monastery with the Ninja's mail.

"Mail!" Kai, Jay, and Cole all run excitedly to the door.

Postman took out their mail "Let's see. A letter from Jay's parents" Jay grabs it "Kai has a fan letter" Kai grabs it "Oh, something from Cole's father" Cole grabs it.

"What? No package? I'm expecting something from Creatures, Beasts, and Beyond" Cole says

"No. Nothing from...uh-uh. Here it is!" He hands a box to Cole and leaves.

"Hey, Zane, Aria. How come you never hear anything from your parents?" Jay asks

"I don't remember my parents. I've been an orphan all my life" Zane replies

"My mom died when I was 5 and I'd prefer not to hear from my father" Aria answers

"That's really sad guys" Kai says

Wu placed a hand on their shoulders "The Monastery is your home now, you two have a family"

Zane sadly walks away

"I'm going to sleep" Aria said sadly before walking away

"Sensei we didn't mean to bring up a sensitive topic for them" Kai said

"It is alright" Wu said "I'm sure they don't blame you"

"Hey Cole who is Aria's father?" Jay asks

"the last time I met my uncle I was kinda young" Cole shrugs "I don't remember him, but I do know that he isn't a good guy"

"No he is not" Wu agrees

"It doesn't seem like Aria even likes her dad" Kai says

Wu sighs "you're right, she doesn't"

Later the Ninja are at the dinner table waiting for dinner.

"Oh, I love it when it's Zane's night to cook" Jay says rubbing his stomach

"Hey. I didn't hear any complains about my duck chowder last night" Cole comments

"That's because it glued our mouths shut. You really thought Jay was speechless all throughout dinner?" Kai questions
