Plot

The plot focuses on a lesson on perspective given by Master Wu to the ninja. After showing off their individual elemental powers to the audience in the dojo, the ninja are scolded by Master Wu, who warns them about being proud. Master Wu then proceeds to teach the ninja a lesson about how time is experienced differently based on perception. He presents the "Scroll of the Fourth Dimension", which holds great power, and then offers a demonstration. Master Wu explains that with the knowledge of the scroll, a spinjitzu master can manipulate time and space. When Master Wu asks the ninja to once again demonstrate their elemental powers, he uses the scroll to freeze them in time and afterwards explains that only the most disciplined ninja can use the scroll. When Master Wu leaves the ninja to their training, he forgets to take the scroll with him. The ninja race to retrieve it and Lloyd reaches it first. When he attempts the second lesson on the scroll, it affects gravity and he loses his grip on the scroll. After their efforts to move around the dojo to reach the scroll fail, the ninja decide to combine their elemental powers and Jay finally reaches it. When he uses the scroll, it affects organised matter, and the ninja discover that they can no longer use their elemental powers. Nya picks up the scroll, realises that they must change their perspective, and turns the scroll upside down. After she uses the scroll, the dojo is returned to its original state. Master Wu then returns for the scroll and the ninja show off their airjitzu abilities to the audience.
