Synopsis
The Digidestined go in search of a Digi-Egg when they stop at a diner where they go to eat. But Digitammamon, the owner, gets all riled up at them, since they don’t have any digidollars. But then Mimi and another digidestined from America, Michael come in and pay for them - nice guys. Then Gorillamon attack them! Betamon, Michael’s Digimon digivolves to Seadramon and defeats Gorillamon. But Digitammamon returns - and now he’s meaner than before! He pushes Mimi and Yolei gets mad. That's what triggers the Digi-Egg of Sincerity and Yolei uses it to armor digivolve Hawkmon into Shurimon, who destroys the dark ring deep inside of Digitammamon.

Animation errors

 * In the English dub, when Digitamamon, under the control of the dark spiral, tells the kids that they still owe him 87 Digi-dollars, Mimi is shown moving her mouth as if to talk, at the moment Digitamamon says "87 Digi-dollars".

Dubbing changes

 * In the Brazilian dub of this episode, T.K. accidentally says that Tai, not Matt, worked with Joe for Digitamamon, and Michael is repeatedly called "Willis". This was patched in Michael's second appearance by claiming that "Willis" was his surname.

Digimon references

 * Davis, Yolei and Cody refer to previous events when they witenessed their first Digimon, making them DigiDestined:-
 * Davis was at the convention center when Myotismon held the people of Odaiba, Tokyo, captive in Digimon Adventure, for a number of episodes.
 * Yolei witnessed the battle with Diaboromon over the Internet, in the movie Our War Game!.
 * Cody was on the airplane that Garudamon rescued in the Digimon Adventure episode, The Battle for Earth.
 * Michael talks about fighting Gorillamon in New York. The kids in the previous series presumeably see the same Gorillamon on TV news, amongst other Digimon, during the episode, The Battle for Earth.
 * T.K. remembers visiting the restaurant during an episode of the previous series, when Matt and Joe were forced to work there.
 * In this episode, Digitamamon only accepts Digi-dollars, though he used to refuse them, as can be seen when Joe tries to pay a meal in Digi-dollars in the Digimon Adventure episode, WereGarurumon's Diner.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * The lake appears to be much smaller than it was when the old DigiDestined were there. This could be a continuity error, though it's more likely due to the events of Digimon Adventure that caused the digital world to be reformed.
 * Shurimon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
