After a trip to Carthage, Jeremy gets the data he thinks will help find the anti-virus. That days P.E. class is a rock climbing wall challenge. When Ulrich is up against William, he freezes part way up from a bad case of vertigo. XANA attacks by unleashing a pack of wolves to attack the gang. Jeremy gives Aelita the anti-virus, which causes her to turn invisible. Aelita must go to Lyoko alone, while Ulrich tries to overcome his fear. Aelita avoids the Scipizoa and is able to deactivate the tower, before the wolves tare the gang apart. After a RTTP, Ulrich admits his vertigo to William, and says it's better then his fear of spiders. Odd is interested in what it's like to be invisible, which he has always wanted, apparently. This episode had its moments and was pretty good for developing characters.moreless

An anti-virus for Aelita goes horribly wrong and makes it so she's invisible and can't deactivate a tower.

It was cool how Odd turned the count down off. The creepers kept shooting at him so he was down several life points. When he jumped the reach the key, he was shot by a creeper and was being devirtualized right as he pushed the switch. It appears the flying mantas have a new power: hatching flying mines that explode when they are close to their victim. I'm surprised one of them didn't hit Ulrich and Aelita. I can't stand William! He challenged Ulrich to climb the wall and race him - in front of Yumi. It was a shame Ulrich is afraid of heights. He could have beaten William if he wasn't afraid. This is the second time William has caused Ulrich to embarrass himself in front of Yumi. It was exciting to learn that Jeremy and Aelita found an anti-virus. It's just too bad that it didn't really help at all. It made Aelita invisible and so she was unable to deactivate a tower. That's scary how XANA possessed wolves started attacking. I don't like wolves. It's funny how they were only images and not real wolves. Only two of them were real. Good thing too because Ulrich would have been eaten. I was so scared for Ulrich. It was stressful knowing that he might not be able to climb that huge mound of rock because of his vertigo. Thank goodness Yumi and Odd were there to pull him to the top after he slipped. I liked the part where Ulrich said he would stay behind and take care of the wolves. He told Yumi and Odd to leave on the count of 3, but Odd didn't mean if he meant 1, 2, then go, or 1, 2, 3, go. Ulrich gave him a look of annoyance and told him to just go now. That was cool how Odd used his overboard to destroy the megatank. I didn't know you could swim in the tundra water. It had to be freezing! It's a good thing Jeremy launched a return to the past. That way, Ulrich didn't have to accept William's challenge. It's funny how William is afraid of spiders. I'm afraid of them too, but I thought a big tough guy like William wouldn't be afraid of anything. It's funny how Sissie told him about that fear.moreless

During gym class, the gang has to climb to the top of a wall that is fairly high. Odd clears the wall easily however, Ulrich seems to have trouble about halfway up. William then taunts him as he climbs higher than him. Ulrich then falls and the gang then realizes that he has vertigo. Ulruch leaves gym and goes off and sulks. Jeremie then soon realizes that a tower has been activated, and worse, Jeremie's anti-virus has made Aelita unable to be seen and she can't enter towers! Meanwhile, a pack of wolves attack the other three. Ulrich is chased while the other two get to lyoko to save Aelita while Jeremie fixes Aelita.moreless

It's Code Lyoko, so I still give it a good rating.
We find out Ulrich is afraid of height, and William is afraid of spiders. Also, Ulrich falls of a cliff. It's fine...I guess. Ulrich almost gets eaten by wolves, and Yumi yelled at Jeremie. The end? I like it.
