IMDb
Once a ninja, always a ninja. Talking Hank gives Talking Ginger a lesson in the mysterious ways of a warrior. But the young grasshopper doesn't always have the patience for learning mad ninja skills. When a jetpack gets involved, it becomes an uphill battle to fight for good, not evil.

Plot
Tom and Ben were working on a jetpack, but Ginger gets impatient and keeps bothering them. At one point, Ginger gets his hands on the jet pack and rides it, but crashes into the wall, damaging the jet pack. So, Tom tapes Ginger to the wall.

Once Ginger got himself free, he goes to Hank, who watches a show called Kid Ninja. Ginger is inspired and wants to be a ninja, and Hank was a ninja, so he agrees to train him, as long as Ginger only uses his powers for good. So, Hank teaches Ginger to clear his mind.

Meanwhile, Tom was helping Angela film a music video about jet packs. Tom gives Angela the jet pack, but while filming, the jet pack activates and sends her flying onto a ceiling beam, where she was stuck. So, Ginger climbs a rope and gets her and the jet pack down. Tom was surprised that Ginger wasn't trying to ride it.

Then, Tom shoots a promotional video for the jet pack. Ginger is tempted to ride the jet pack, but Hank tells him not to, since being a ninja was about more than getting what he wanted. Tom then invites a worthy someone to ride the jet pack. Ginger thought Tom was referring to him, but Tom then invited Angela to ride the jet pack.

Ginger gets livid and threatens to take the jet pack, but Hank desperately tries to talk him out of it. They start fighting. In the end, Ginger beats Hank with a leg swipe, stole the jet pack, and gets away. However, midair, the jet pack runs out of fuel and Ginger falls back to earth.

Trivia

 * This episode is very similar in concept to "Jet Pack Cat", an episode of the earlier Talking Friends miniseries. Both involve Ginger wanting to fly Tom and Ben’s new jetpack, but is rejected because he is too young. In the end, Ginger tries it out and breaks the jetpack.
 * However, in Jet Pack Cat, Ginger uses Gina to try it out, so he has to hold onto the straps, whereas in this episode, Hank teaches him to be a ninja, but his longing for a jetpack takes over and gets him his prize.
 * Also, Tom is officially the first to test the jetpack in Jet Pack Cat, whereas in this episode, it’s Angela (who in the former only makes a cameo due to her lesser prominence)
