Synopsis
On a very tall mountain, Kimiko and Jack are racing to the top to get the newest Shen-Gong-Wu: Monkey Staff. Jack is using the Jet Bootsu, a device that is able to defy gravity when worn, to help him get to the top first. Kimiko, on the other hand, is just climbing using herself, and tries to knock Jack down using the Fist of Tebigong. It doesn't work, and Jack reaches the Monkey Staff first, having him win the Xiaolin Showdown.

Later, Omi and the others are riding Dojo, who is in the form of a Viking-type boat this time. Kimiko is very angry that she didn't get the Monkey Staff, and the others say that it's because she's a girl. She keeps getting criticism from all sides, but is interrupted by Dojo who says that he has found a new Shen-Gong-Wu: the Tangled Web Comb. He reports that it's right in the water where they are, and Kimiko decides that she wants to get it. She dives in and successfully obtains it. Back at the Xiaolin Temple, she tries to use her newly found Shen-Gong-Wu, but immediately learns that she is unable to control it. Instead of having it wrap around her target, it wraps around her and she is furious by this. Master Fung tells her that she needs incredible focus to master the Tangle Web Comb. Kimiko is assisted by Master Fung in helping her focus and to drown out everything around her.

Meanwhile, Jack has in his possession the Monkey Staff, and he learns that the more time he holds onto it, the more he will have the qualities and abilities a monkey has. Then, enters a young woman who wants to join sides with Jack. Unlike Jack, Wuya is impressed with the girl's initiative. A little later, Wuya starts to sense the next Shen-Gong-Wu: the Golden Tiger Claws. She tells Jack that is very important that they get this Shen-Gong-Wu because it is able to transport the person who has it anywhere they please. She explains this will be an advantage for them in obtaining Shen-Gong-Wu in the future, too.

At the same time, Dojo takes Omi and the others to an embassy that he says contains the Golden Tiger Claws. Dojo says they can't get in unless they have connections with the embassy. Kimiko calls her father, and he tells her she needs to disguise herself and the others like they were members. After getting past the guard, Kimiko stumbles upon a trap door that leads down into a gigantic underground. In it, is the Golden Tiger Claws! Jack runs into them and sends the Jack-bots to stop them. Omi and his friends easily take all of them out using their elements. Jack gets to the Golden Tiger Claws, but at the same time Kimiko is holding onto it, also. Xiaolin Showdown!

Their showdown is to race across an unsteady bridge that is gradually falling apart to where the Golden Tiger Claws are located. Jack goes off to a running start, but Kimiko can barely run or walk because she's still in the costume that is both heavy and uncomfortable to her. She tries to use the Tangled Web Comb to trap Jack in, but it fails and traps herself again instead. Jack thinks he has this Shen-Gong-Wu in the bag, and takes his time to getting across. Kimiko thinks back to what Master Fung said to her, and she does her best to drown out everything around her, causing the web to unravel. She has control now of the Tangled Web Comb! The Golden Tiger Claws falls off the bridge, and Jack jumps in after it. Kimiko uses the Tangled Web Comb, and she ravels it onto a part of the bridge, making her swing down to grab the Golden Tiger Claws. Jack falls all the way down, as he screams in defeat. Kimiko claims both the Monkey Staff and the Golden Tiger Claws!

Later, back at Jack's evil underground lair... Wuya is very upset that they lost yet another Xiaolin Showdown. The same young woman appears, dressed in a black leather suit, meowing like a cat. After stopping all the Jack-bots, she reveals that her name is Katnappé. Wuya is, once again, very impressed by all of this, and she recruits Katnappe to help her and Jack reclaim all the Shen-Gong-Wu.

Shen Gong Wu
Jet Bootsu:The Jet Bootsu are boots that allow the wearer to defy gravity and lets them walk on walls and it also allows you hover for short heights.

Monkey Staff:The Monkey Staff is a staff that turns the user into a being with a similar appearance, agility and balance to a monkey. If it is used too long, then the user will believe that he is an actual monkey, and his human memories will be erased until the staff is taken away.It was found on top of a tall pillar.

Tangle Web Comb:The Tangle Web Comb is a comb that shoots out strings from the teeth and binds the target. It is a Shen Gong Wu that requires absolute focus, or else the strings will bind the holder.It was found in a bottom of a Loch in Scotland (Loch Lomond)

Golden Tiger Claws:The Golden Tiger Claws are a single golden claw that can teleport the user to anywhere they want to go in the world, with exact precision. The Golden Tiger Claws are my favourite Shen Gong Wu.It was found Under the Emperor's Palace
