Synopsis
After more walking through the desert, the group run into a Kuwagamon, which gets a hold of Tai. All seems lost when Agumon hesitates to digivolve (after the SkullGreymon incident), until Piximon rescues them. Piximon is known for his tough training of other Digimon, and leads the group to his hidden home where their training begins. While everyone else mops floors, Tai and Agumon are sent into a bizarre world where they must learn to face their fears. When everybody is sleeping, Matt and Izzy's tags begin to glow. They are lead to a well where the Crest of Friendship and Crest of Knowledge are found. However, being outside Piximon's home, Etemon detects the two and sends Tyrannomon after them. They escape into Piximon's home, but Tyrannomon breaks open the invisible shield hiding it. With the other Digimon still tired from yesterday's training, their hope rests on Tai and Agumon. Luckily, Tai and Agumon overcome their fears and escape their prison, and Agumon digivolves to destroy Tyrannamon and the Dark Network surrounding him.

Digivolutions
(Number indicates order of occurrence.)

Continuity errors

 * When Tentomon asks where Izzy's gone, he calls Piximon "Pikamon".

Animation errors

 * When Matt and Izzy enter the well, a view from above shows Izzy above Matt on the rope, though when they receive their crests, they appear to have swapped positions. Finally, when they exit the well, Izzy comes out first, once again above Matt.

Dubbing changes

 * There's a moment during the group's brief meditation, when Piximon's pointed stick is seen flying through the air, and then Gabumon jumps as if out of shock. Originally, this was accompanied by the sharp sound of the stick making contact with something, most likely Gabumon. In the English dub, this sound is omitted.

Digimon references

 * Kuwagamon appeared in the first episode of the series (though it was probably a different one).

Real-world references

 * The title for this episode comes from The Iceman Cometh, a play written by Eugene O'Neill.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * Piximon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
