Synopsis

Jake is stressed at seeing how his duties as the American Dragon have kept him from having a normal school life. He decides to intentionally get suspended from his duties for a week to get the most out of his middle school graduation, and let Haley become the American Dragon. But can she handle this great new responsibility, which includes dealing with a vengeful Chang? Chang captures Jake to resurrect the Dark Dragon and a battle ensues. Lao Shi, after learning what Jake did, restores his powers and Chang is defeated, but the Dark Dragon is still resurrected. Having learned how overstressed Jake is from his duties (which Haley gained a new appreciation for during her time as the American Dragon), Lao Shi promises to be less hard on Jake. Jake ends up graduating and even seems to have made his peace with Rotwood as the two shake hands at the graduation.
