In the Grip of Evil - Recap

The episode starts with Chiro wandering through a cave. He stumbles upon five statues standing in front of a door, and realizes they are stone versions of the monkies. Suddenly, tentacle like things burst out and grab him. They squeeze him tighter and tighter and...
He wakes up. It was alll a draem. A nightmare. He goes to Antauri for help. Antauri says dreams are a reflection of our hopes and dreams, but before he can go any further, the alarm goes off. The Hyper Force meet in the main control room, and are attacked by some strange, ghostlike things. Some things in teh room are destroyed, but remake themselves. Chiro figures out that it is just a dream, then Skeleton King appears. The monkies are sucked into some weird world, where they are seperated. Chiro, Nova, and Antauri on one side of this strnage new world, Gibson, Otto, and Sprx on the other.
Chiro and friends meet up with a strange man called the Alchemist, who tells them of a door that will lead them home. Nova ask if the door is close. The Alchemist says, "As close as today, and yet as far as tommorow". Antauri translates this into normal Enlgish, saying that the door is just another figment of their imaginations.
Meanwhile, Gibson, Otto, and Sprx have met many enemies from their past, and one who just wants them for a snack. A talking cheetah in a robe. They decide to split, and try and find their friends along the way.
The Alchemist is leading the others to tht door that would lead them home, when they run into a not so friendly face. Skeleton King. Nova and Antauri are hurt, and Chiro is left to fight Skeleton King alone. Luckily, Gibson, Otto, and Sprx trip over them just as Chiro temporarily defeats Skeleton King, and help to fix Nova and Antauri. Skeleton King comes back again, but this time the Alchemist comes to there aid, and leads them to the door that will bring them home. There's just one problem. Chiro can't open the door. The monkies have to. And they don't want to.
Finally, they do, though, and stumble into a new place. The place where tehy were created. They watch their creator, The Alchemist, wipe the memories of his newly created monkies clean, and when he is questioned by the current Hyper Force, he explains he created them to fight against a greater evil. Himself. Somehow, he was overcome by evil. He was Skeleton King. A fight goes down, but Chiro figures out that now that they have opened the door, they can wake up. The monkies manage to escape, but Chiro caan't wake up. Right as Skeleton King is about to destroy him, Antauri wakes him up. The nightmare is over.
On top of the Robot, the Hyper Force goes over what they saw in their dreams, and are all left with the same question: how did such a good man become overcome by darkness?
As Antauri said, life has many questions, and some questions have no answers.
