Synopsis
Gatomon is still struggling to approach Kari, and wonders why this could be. She thinks about the past, remembering how badly Myotismon first treated her. At that moment, Wizardmon, a good servant and friend to Gatomon, appears, to remind her of a time when she helped him in the desert, a memory she seems to have forgotten. He then suggests that the reason she struggles to attack Kari is because she is her Digimon, making her the eighth chosen Digimon. At that moment, Kari appears on the nearby balcony, and Wizardmon takes this chance to bring the two together. He then gives Kari her digivice, confirming her status as the eighth child. When Tai sees them all outside, his first reaction is to attack, but he realises his mistake when Gatomon saves Kari from Agumon's Pepper Breath (not meant for Kari of course). Later, Wizardmon and Gatomon set off to pick up Kari's crest in Myotismon's hideout, and soon run into him. Myotismon realises the situation, and throws Wizardmon in the nearby river, taking Gatomon as bait to draw out the eighth child.

Digimon Analyser
No Digimon were analysed in this episode.

Continuity errors

 * The English dub makes the mistake of calling the crest in Myotismon's coffin a fake, when it is actually the real one. This would explain how Wizardmon ends up with the real crest later on. Signs of this error include Wizardmon pocketing the so-called "fake" crest, and Myotismon destroying the assumedly real crest.

Dubbing changes

 * The English dub removes a part of Gatomon's flashback which shows her being struck by Myotismon's Crimson Lighting.
 * The English dub doesn't show Gatomon being slammed against a wall after being hit by Agumon's Pepper Breath attack.
 * Another moment is cut out in which Myotismon strikes Gatomon in the present.
 * Yet another moment cut out, showing Wizardmon struggling to stay above water after being thrown in by Myotismon's bats.

Digimon references

 * In the Japanese episode, after battling Myotismon, when Patamon appears to be unconscious, he says to T.K., "I'm okay this time", referring to the last time he became Angemon, when he sacrificed his life to defeat Devimon (Ep. 13 The Legend of the DigiDestined).

Miscellaneous trivia

 * Gatomon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * Kari's identity as the eighth DigiDestined is fully confirmed in this episode, though some obvious hints were given in previous episodes.
 * Gatomon refers to the Kamiyas' cat, Miko, as female, despite being male with a boy's name.
 * Gatomon uses a telescope which looks very similar to Tai's telescope.
