Dalon Wong later turns the Enforcers into his new Dark Chi Warriors. The first power that Jackie and team track is the power of Imortality, which leads them to a local dog show.

Meanwhile, Jade gets into the nasty habit of burping. Jackie and Captain Black hunt Drago down to a Chinese-themed car wash, where the fan is located. Unbeknownst to everyone, Jade absorbs the demon chi. At school, her burps create powerful wind storms, and she begins to transform into a frog.
