REVIEW OF PREVIOUS EPISODE:

JOE

While in search of Jennifer, we were being chased by that overgrown pest, Sphinxmon. The whole group got separated during the chase! We were separated from our Digimon as well. Matt and I set out to look for the others, then decided to call it quits for the night. Everything was going to be just fine or at least, that's what I thought!
