Synopsis
Gatomon is still struggling to approach Kari, and wonders why this could be. She thinks about the past, remembering how badly Myotismon first treated her. At that moment, Wizardmon, a good servant and friend to Gatomon, appears, to remind her of a time when she helped him in the desert, a memory she seems to have forgotten. He then suggests that the reason she struggles to attack Kari is because she is her Digimon, making her the eighth chosen Digimon. At that moment, Kari appears on the nearby balcony, and Wizardmon takes this chance to bring the two together. He then gives Kari her digivice, confirming her status as the eighth child. When Tai sees them all outside, his first reaction is to attack, but he realises his mistake when Gatomon saves Kari from Agumon's Pepper Breath (not meant for Kari of course). Later, Wizardmon and Gatomon set off to pick up Kari's crest in Myotismon's hideout, and soon run into him. Myotismon realises the situation, and throws Wizardmon in the nearby river, taking Gatomon as bait to draw out the eighth child.

Digimon Analyser
No Digimon were analysed in this episode.

Continuity errors

 * The English dub makes the mistake of calling the crest in Myotismon's coffin a fake, when it is actually the real one. This would explain how Wizardmon ends up with the real crest later on. Signs of this error include Wizardmon pocketing the so-called "fake" crest, and Myotismon destroying the assumedly real crest.

Dubbing changes

 * The English dub removes a part of Gatomon's flashback which shows her being struck by Myotismon's Crimson Lighting.
 * The English dub doesn't show Gatomon hitting the side of the balcony after getting hit by Agumon's Pepper Breath while trying to protect Kari. This shot was replaced by Tai saying, "Kari, are you OK?"
 * Another moment is cut out in which Myotismon strikes Gatomon in the present.
 * After getting thrown in the water, Wizardmon is seen struggling to keep his head ashore, holding up Kari's crest and shouting Gatomon's name.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * Gatomon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * Kari is revealed to be the 8th Digi-Destined child. Although, some viewers knew this already since a hint was given in "Home Away from Home" that Kari would soon find her own way to Digiworld.
 * Gatomon refers to Miko, Tai and Kari's cat, as female, but according to them, Meeko is male.
 * When Kari finds out that Gatomon is her Digimon, she says that they don't allow animals in her building but she has a pet cat.
