Synopsis for "To Trap a Tahnok"
The Tahnok march across Mata Nui, destroying everything in their way. The Bohrok's radar krana alerts the swarm to the Toa ahead. Their telepathy krana passes the word on to the rest of the squad. The Fire Bohrok refuse to back down from a fight, and charge forward. They are not alone: deep in the shadows, a pair of voices discuss the progress of the Bohrok. While they have suffered losses, the two creatures are confident that there is nothing able to stand in their way. Elsewhere, Toa Gali and Pohatu go over their plan to trap the Tahnok. Onua dug a tunnel to the ocean, and Kopaka capped the tunnel with ice, keeping the water at bay. When the Bohrok arrive, Pohatu shatters the ice with a boulder and floods the chamber with water. Gali jumps into the flooded room to collect some krana, but the Tahnok have begun heating up the water, and Gali is uncertain she will be able to make it through.
In Ta-Koro, Tahu gives the Ta-Matoran an inspirational speech, encouraging them to stay strong and resist the Bohrok. Kopaka interrupts the Toa of Fire, announcing that he has made a shocking discovery: the krana are alive! What's more, the Toa of Ice has found an even bigger surprise... Back in Po-Wahi, Gali has retrieved several krana and is making her way back to the surface. The Tahnok are not about to let her escape, though, and use their Fire powers to melt through part of the stone wall, sending it plummeting towards the Toa of Water. Pohatu has waited long enough, and is about to leap in after Gali before she bursts out of the pit. The two make their escape before the Bohrok catch up to them. Outside, they pause to examine the krana. Gali is concerned about Lewa. The Toa of Air left for Le-Koro, but has not been heard from since. In the depths of the southern jungle, Gali's fears are justified, as Lewa has been controlled by a krana as well, joining the swarm!
