Plot[]
Everyone from the Academy is gathered today waiting for Master Eon's arrival that is happening before lunchtime. 'Dark Scratch' asks around and learns from Sprocket that the meeting is about the upcoming arrival of the inspector from Skylands council, who has the authority to shut down the Academy if they fail to pass. Afterwards, 'Dark Scratch' flies around and seeks Food Fight to shoot a large tomato for her sandwich, for better taste due to its blandness. Food Fight readies his aim, just as Master Eon is entering the scene, but Food Fight stumbles after bumping into Hex and fires his tomato that directly hits Master Eon on the head and knocks him out. Everyone rushes to aid him but Eon falls unconscious.
At Eon's room, although the headmaster will recover, Sprocket and Knuckles inform their friends that Master Eon won't regain consciousness in time for the inspection, and with Kaossandra on leave due to taking the Hydra to the vet to have a foreign exchange student; who got too close to it, removed from its stomach, while Sonic also went with her to the vet to have Cotton get her rabies and tetanus vaccinations as a favor that Spyro (Cotton's owner) asked him to do, the Academy has no other representative. Sprocket then recalls her Power Transporter, a machine that was used in Power Struggle. She stats that she can reconfigure it to allow two people to control Master Eon's bodily functions. She refuses to allow one person due to her machine leaving an unfortunate side effect on Pop Fizz, who pulls a hammer out of his ear with Knuckles' minor help. Jet-Vac volunteers to enter Eon's body and partners with 'Dark Scratch', though she initially refuses, but when she realizes that they will be able to control his magic as well, she quickly agrees.
Meanwhile, Kaos continues to travel the Skylands with his pirate crew. Unfortunately, the Doom Raiders are beginning to doubt Kaos's credibility as their leader for failing to live up to his promise of pillaging scores of wealth for weeks now. During this, Kaos shortly notices that their pirate ship just hit something but is ignored by his crew as they threaten Kaos of being overthrown if he disappoints on their upcoming raid. When they begin their attack on a nearby village, the villagers show no resistance and gladly surrender all of their precious valuables. The villagers are even kind enough to load their entire wealth on board Kaos's ship. As a result, the Doom Raiders being to highly respect their captain. When they disembark, the pirate ship suddenly loses power. Kaos orders his crew to investigate the issue.
While Sprocket begins setting up the machine, 'Dark Scratch' manages to sneak the Wumpan Puzzle Box inside Eon's clothing. She and Jet-Vac take their position in the machine, with Eon on the other side after getting on it with Midnight, Pop Fizz, Knuckles and Eruptor's help. Sprocket activates it, and the two are transported inside Eon's body, though a bit cramped.
Despite the success, however, 'Dark Scratch' and Jet-Vac find it difficult to control Eon's body properly but proceed anyway as the inspector arrives. Knuckles decides to accompany the feathercat and Sky Baron to ensure their safety. The inspection begins at one of the Academy's dormitories, Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz's residence. While the inspector tallies his final scores on the house, 'Dark Scratch' meanwhile, tries to use Eon's telekinetic powers in attempt to open the puzzle box, but instead causes a frying pan to fly out and cause damage. Luckily, the inspector fails to notice. Afterwards, they head for the Academy's garden where 'Dark Scratch' uses Eon's energy blasts but fails to aim it properly at the box while Knuckles describes the garden's status, including the tree house that belonged to a former teacher which was soon turned into a sick bay in honor of the teacher when she retired. Jet-Vac hurries her to control it but one blast splits the inspector's clipboard.
After a long inspection, Eon and Knuckles take the inspector to the Library as he begins to tally up the Academy's final score. The inspector informs them the Academy earned a score that narrowly passed their inspection, much to the inspector's disappointment and afterwards dismisses himself. Jet-Vac and Knuckles scold the feathercat for her reckless actions earlier, though she shows little remorse, making Jet-Vac wish for either Tails, Spyro or Stealth Elf to be his partner.
At the Dread Yacht, the elf, fox and purple dragon relieve their motion sickness, as Captain Flynn steers the ship in a storm. Stealth Elf, Tails and Spyro then voice their thoughts of how Scratch seems to only want them gone when she quickly recommended them to accompany Flynn. Flynn also shares his suspicions on the feathercat's behavior such as when he was obsessed of acquiring his log book. This resonates with Spyro's observations of how Scratch ceased all attempts of looking for her mother; Wynter, and the purple dragon's ancestors.
Jet-Vac and 'Dark Scratch' prepare to take Master Eon's body back to the transporter, where Jet-Vac accuses her of sabotage and potential ulterior motives of Eon's powers, even threatening to report her actions once Master Eon wakes up. However, a golden sheep suddenly crashes and severely damages the machine. Eruptor informs them that Golden Queen has returned and is indiscriminately turning anyone she sees into gold statues in nearby villages. Jet-Vac and 'Dark Scratch' have no choice but to assist the team by using Eon's body as Sprocket begins repairing the machine.
The Skylanders confront Golden Queen and question her demands, but she only seeks to unleash chaos after finally being freed from Kaos's prison orb thanks to a pirate ship hitting her earlier. The Skylanders' powers prove no match against Golden Queen's formidable shield. Jet-Vac proposes that they use Eon's dissolvolution spell, which Eon rarely uses since it is capable of destroying any substance, which 'Dark Scratch' realizes is the key spell to break the Wumpan Puzzle box. Jet-Vac prepares to recite the incantation while 'Dark Scratch' must take control of the aiming, which she intends for the puzzle box. However, Jet-Vac reminds her that the spell can only be done in one attempt as it requires huge amounts of magic. 'Dark Scratch' now has to make a decision quickly of whether she must use it to save her friends or finish Strykore's mission. 'Dark Scratch' chooses to aim the spell against Golden Queen, where her powers prove unmatched against Eon's, and the force incapacitates her. The Skylanders prepare to take her to Cloudcracker Prison.
Kaos and the Doom Raiders find no cause for the ship's engine to fail until they get attacked by dozens of ravenous purple Chompies that were hiding within the village treasure they took earlier, realizing of why the villagers were so eager to get rid of it. Neither Kaos can find any solution against the Chompies nor even Chompy Mage is able to control them. The Doom Raiders then begin to lose respect of Kaos's leadership. Kaos begins to accept their views and throws a book in sadness, where it hits a lever that releases all of the ship's sails. This causes the pirate ship to accelerate upwards that causes all the Chompies to get thrown out. Kaos eventually manages to get the ship's speed in normal conditions, re-earning the confidence of the Doom Raiders, ready to serve him once again. With threats of a mutiny resolved, Kaos then prepares to continue their travels in finding the Lost Island of Arkus.
As Sprocket nears completion of the machine's repairs, 'Dark Scratch' apologizes to Jet-Vac for her behavior. Jet-Vac returns the gesture as well, reminiscing just how good to have 'Dark Scratch' as company now that he has returned. She warms up to him, despite her evil nature. The Power Transporter activates and separates the pair out of Eon's body, who has now awoken. Unfortunately, the machine has also tampered Jet-Vac and "Dark Scratch's" sizes by making them tiny in the process.

Weekend at Eon's/Transcript
Continuity[]
- Stealth Elf, Spyro and Tails are still with Flynn on their trip to Dragon's Peak.
- Kaos begins to have trouble being a pirate captain.
- Golden Queen escapes her imprisonment from Touch of Evil and is sent to Cloudcracker Prison after a battle against the Skylanders.

Trivia[]
- This is the second episode in the series to have a character controlling inside a body of another character (the first being Space Invaders.)
- This is one of the only two episodes where Sonic does not appear in Season 3.
- This is due to Spyro's absence as the dragon has asked Sonic to take his place of taking Cotton to the vet for her rabies and tetanus vaccinations.
- Knuckles also stayed by 'Dark Scratch' and Jet-Vac's side during the inspection while Eruptor assumed the temporary role being the Crystalwing Clan's leader by Spyro due to the Clan's leadership being split between three members (Sonic, Spyro and Scratch).
- This episode is similar to the Spongebob Squarepants episode, Snooze You Lose. Both episodes involve two characters taking over a knocked out person's body in order to meet an important person.
- Knuckles mentions Persephone the fairy from the main Skylanders series during the inspection at the Academy's gardens; namely around the large tree.
- It is also revealed that the tree at the school was Persephone's home while she was a teacher at the Academy before she retired. Soon, the tree was made into a sick bay in honor of her.
- This means that, unlike in canon, the tree is memtioned.
- Pop Fizz's unstable nature is revealed to be an unfortunate side effect of Sprocket's power transporter.
