Almost Home Free

The kids continue their long journey home on the subway, and after completely missing their stop, must think of another way of getting back.

Synopsis
The episode starts by DemiDevimon explaining to Myotismon that they have not yet found the eighth DigiDestined yet, but they are still looking and harder than ever all around the city, and that she/he is probably going to be found soon.

The group decide to travel home on the subway. After a bit of confusion Izzy finds the quickest route so they buy their tickets and once again tell their Digimon to just pretend to be stuffed animals. On the subway, a baby begins pulling on Yokomon, and continues long enough that she yells at him. Most of the people are quite shocked, but Sora pretends that she was just using ventriloquism to make the 'doll' talk. Most of the subway riders leave to go buy their own 'Yokomon doll' where Sora says where she bought it and the group falls asleep, not having slept properly in a while. When they awaken, they find out that they missed the stop they were going to transfer at, and decide to have a bite to eat before moving on, because they are all very hungry and their Digimon might need to digivolve.

While looking for a place to eat in the crowded subway stations, Izzy and Joe get separated from the rest of the group. They then discover that their Digivices aren't working properly, and their friends are eating without them. They meet up with the rest of the group and decide that they should attempt hitch-hiking home, and surprisingly have a lot of fun trying. The coincidentally end up stopping Sora's "black sheep" cousin, Duane who gives them a ride. A news report comes on the radio about the Highton View Terrace incident from earlier and Koromon makes a mess in the car as it goes over a bridge. Everyone piles out of the car, and Sora's cousin loses his temper, getting mad at Sora for taking the blame and starts to blame Joe, despite having nothing to do with it. Duane then accidentally knocks Izzy over the bridge. Motimon digivolves in time to save him from falling into the water.

Unaware to them, one of Myotismon's sea henchmen, Gesomon, is in the water below. Duane freaks out and leaves while Gomamon digivolves into Ikkakumon to take on the evil Digimon. The fight between the two attracts a lot of attention from bystanders and Gesomon is easily defeated as people watch in bemusement. The kids manage to escape from the crowds of people and Ikkakumon takes the kids home along the river. Unfortunately, little did they know, DemiDevimon saw them, and is now aware of their location.
