Summary
The North Point Academy Safety Squad sense something is afoot when Naniko seems to be everywhere on campus, and it turns out that there are indeed multiple copies of Naniko, each with a different part of Naniko's personality. When the group find the real Naniko to explain what's going on, Naniko recalls a memory which included a chess board. And sure enough, there is a rook piece in Naniko's bedroom which explodes, sending the Safety Squad into another world where they are cloned, and must combat a large rook tower. Combat ends when Lenny forces water into the ground, making the tower lean over and explode. When this happens, the group are once again in Naniko's bedroom. The episode caps off with Ben and Piotr agreeing to an Alice in Wonderland-themed prom.
