Synopsis
After T.K. finds the Crest of Hope, Sora is the only one without her crest. But soon after, Izzy receives a message on his laptop from an imprisoned Digimon who claims to know where Sora's crest is. So, the group set off for the pyramid where the Digimon is kept. Along the way, Izzy reveals that the world they are in is in fact made up of digital substance (?) from the real world. Eventually, the group are inside the pyramid, and after finding their way through various barriers and firewalls (which Tai confidently passes through, as he believes he cannot be harmed in this digital world), they find the captured Digimon, Datamon. He is released, but not before Etemon appears. During a battle with Etemon, Datamon escapes, taking Sora and Biyomon with him. He escapes through another firewall, and Tai follows, though when he realizes that his life in this world is in as much danger as in the real world, he panics and freezes in front of the firewall, letting Datamon get away. The group manage to escape Etemon, where they try to think where they went wrong.

Continuity errors

 * Before the group infiltrate Etemon's base, Tai says to Joe "You wimper more than my puppy". It is later revealed that Tai doesn't own a puppy, though he does have a cat.

Dubbing changes

 * There's a small error in the English dubbing for this episode - soon after entering the pyramid base, Tai's voice changes, though only for a few seconds.

Real-world references

 * Soon after T.K. gets his crest, Tai says "Ta dadada ta daaa!", a well-known catchphrase of the cartoon character Scrappy-Doo, imitating a bugle call meaning "Charge!".
 * Izzy claims to have logged onto the Chinese web-domain www.a8#4dfja9z$.com "a thousand times", even using it to send an e-mail to the group.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * Datamon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * Tai's attitude in this episode, that everything is data so it doesn't matter what he does, is similar to that of Ken Ichijouji as the Digimon Emperor in Digimon Adventure 02, though Ken was influenced by a dark spore.
