Synopsis
The DigiDestined stumble upon a battle between two Monochromon and try not to to get in the way. So they run as far away as they can until they're too tired. The DigiDestened look for a place to sleep and they find a trolley car. They stay in the trolly and eat fish from the nearby lake. Tai starts to notice that Matt sees T.K. more as a bother then a brother. Before going to bed the group decides to have people stand guard. Matt and Tai get into a fight about jokes and the group decides it will go Tai, Matt, Izzy, and Joe to be look outs. During the night Tai notices Matt still awake. Matt apologizes and confesses that being in the world and watching T.K. is stressful. A confused Tai asks if the two brothers live in the same house. Matt says that his parents are divorced and T.K. lives with their mom and he stays with his dad. Matt goes off the island for a bit and starts to play his harmonica. Tai accidentally makes a Seadramon angry when a fire spark flies and lands on the creatures tail. The island begins to get tugged away. Matt and Gabumon swim to the creature and try to distract it from the others. But Seadramon flings Gabumon back to the island. The Seadramon grabs Matt and begins to stangle him. Matts digivice starts glowing and Gabumon digivolves to Garurumon and defeats Seadramon. In the end the group get back to the mainland safely. The group also realize that their digimon will most likely digivolve to help their partners. In the end Tai sees Matt playing his harmonica to his sleeping brother and Gabumon.

Continuity errors

 * In the English dub, a flashback of Agumon in the previous episode shows him saying "Greymon" just before digivolving, though in the actual episode, at that point, he says "digivolve".

Dubbing changes

 * Garurumon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * The music Matt plays with the harmonica is different.
 * Matt tells Tai that he and T.K. are half brothers in the English dub, when in actual fact, their parents are simply divorced. Though, the English dub later changes to this idea.
 * The question that Tai originally asks Matt, regarding his relationship with and T.K., is why their surnames are different. The English dub simply has him asking why Matt treats him more like a bother than a brother.
 * In the Japanese episodes, more respect is shown to the kids in higher grades such as Joe, from kids in lower grades such as Sora, as is the norm in Japanese culture. Honorific senpai is the term used by Sora as a sign of respect whenever she mentions Joe's name.

Real-world references

 * Monochromon resembles a one-horned dinosaur called Monoclonius, part of the Ceratopsian family.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * The events of this episode, and the past two episodes, take place on the same day, so this is the first night spent in the digital world by the kids.
 * This episode shows Tai and Matt get into a fight - the first sign of a rivalry between the two, which would continue throughout most of the series
