Marcus' Inner Strength!

'''Agumon and Marcus are caputured but escape. A digimon appears and the newly joined DATS members Agumon and Marcus have to capture it.'''

Official Summary
Agumon is brought back to DATS handcuffed, about to be sent him back to the Digital World. The captain explains that all Digimon loose in the human world must be reverted to a Digiegg and forcefully sent back to the Digital World. Marcus Damon kicks a pot of hot water allowing them to escape.

They return to Marcus's home where we are introduced to his mother and sister, Kristy. Yoshino, under the captain's orders, comes to the house and stays there to keep an eye on Agumon. As Marcus goes off to school. Yoshino comes along in her car, and tells Marcus that if he joins DATS, they won't have to return Agumon to the Digital World.

They come across Kristy's school where the cage, that housed the school animals, was heavily damaged. The Digivice shows that it was a Digimon behind the incident. They used Agumon as prey to lure the culprit. Kunemon appears and Lalamon fights against it. Both evolve to Flymon and Sunflowmon respectively but Flymon paralyses them. Agumon evolves and defeats Flymon, reverting it to a Digiegg. Marcus and Agumon decide to join DATS to have more fights like this.

Community Errors

 * Yoshi runs off after Marcus and then Commander Sampson finds the Digivice. But later on, Yoshi gives it to Marcus. Unless she went back to DATS, she wouldn't have gotten it.

Digimon References
The way Marcus sneaks Agumon around is very similar to how Takato would sneak Guilmon around in Digimon Tamers.

Real-World references

 * Pokemon: This episode is similar to the aforementioned in 3 ways:

--Marcus and Agumon's love-hate relationship from the previous ep is almost similar to Satoshi and Pikachu's as seen in "Pokemon, I Choose You".

--How Digimon are stored if when you need to go out in public.

--Agumon doesn't like to be stored, and can leave the Digivice by free will, like in "Snow Way Out".

Miscellaneous Trivia

 * Thomas H. Norstein and his Digimon Gaomon make their first brief appearance in this episode.
 * In order for Marcus to obtain a DigiSoul, used to Digivolve Agumon, he must first successfully punch the enemy Digimon. The rest of his teammates only have to call it out from their hands.
