Trash Day

'''The group have little time to search for Matt, as they come under attack by some Garbagemon. Meanwhile, Matt tries to figure out just where he fits in.'''

Synopsis
Matt, who's been having trouble interacting with others in the group, leaves them quietly while they're busy praising T.K. for outsmarting Puppetmon. He settles down by a lake, where he tries to figure out what his problem is. Cherrymon, a wise Digimon working under Puppetmon, approaches Matt, and attempts to turn him against the rest of the group, much to Gabumon's objection, apparently revealing Tai to be the one preventing Matt from reaching his full potential. Meanwhile, the rest of the group have noticed Matt's disappearance, and come under attack by a group of Garbagemon led by Puppetmon. After a bit of a struggle, the Garbagemon appear to be beaten, and Puppetmon runs off in annoyance. Back at the lake, Matt is still struggling to make a decision, and so Gabumon tells him that he will go along with him no matter what. Cherrymon reports back to Puppetmon, and warns him that they have something he doesn't. This causes Puppetmon to lash out in anger, destroying Cherrymon. Back in the forest, the last of the Garbagemon is attempting to suck the group into his garbage can, until MetalGarurumon appears to destroy him. Just when everybody tries to greet Matt, he challenges Tai and Agumon.
