There, the Nomicon reminds Randy of who he is and once Randy remembers and exits the book, he finds a distressed Howard running away from a stanked robot. Randy gets the mask from Howard near the Norrisville Dam after the robot threw them down. After fighting the regenerating robot for a bit, Randy realizes in order to de-stank it and shut it down for good he must destroy his learning and memory chip. Once Randy does that he successfully defeated the robot.

- The theme song was altered in this episode, Howard singing along and explaining how he has to replace Randy.
- This is the first time Howard has put on the Ninja Mask, and the second time he's dressed up as the Ninja, while the first time was in Monster Drill.
- The episode reveals that when a ninja has completed their training, they take the Ultimate Lesson to get their memory about being the Ninja erased and their experiences are published in the NinjaNomicon.
- The same conversation between Randy and Howard when Randy revealed he was the Ninja in "Last Stall on the Left" happens again in this episode, except Howard is the one telling Randy.
