Plot
Jake gets overbooked with school, jump rope practice, chores and dragon training therfore harldy getting any sleep so Lao Shi gives him a PMA: Personal Magical Assistant. Later that night Jakes PMA wakes him up for emergency dragon training in Central Park, there Lao Shi teaches Jake to release his inner chi energy to create Dopplegangers to help in battle and throw off the enemy. The next day Jake is late for school again, sleep jumps during double dutch and is too tired to watch Haley only for things get worse when his fater signs him up for CugerScout training. Meanwhile in the shop, as he couldn't take it more, Jake convinces Fu Dog for a 'magical shortcut' and he gives Jake a purple coloured bottle; it's a positive chi ampliphire which makes dopplegangers that are good, obiedient and a little lighter than the original. Jake has 4 things to do at once and the 1st doppleganger (Cooger-Scout Jake) isn't enough so Jake makes 3 more being Study-Boy Jake, Double-Dutch Jake and Chore-Hound Jake. Later that afternoon Jake checks up on his dopplegangers and sees everything is going according to plan until he and Double-Dutch Jake gets Brad Morton triped with the rope and he falls face first into his lunch. Brad then challenges Jake to see if he could beat the 'Bradster'. Sun Park passes by, and Brad notices so he postpones his challenge to meet at the skatepark.

Back at home, Jake and his doppleganers are deciding who's going to face Brad untill Study-Boy Jake suggests to make another doppleganer. Just as Jake was about to make the next doppleganger Spud and Trixe show up only to find out they been jumping rope with Double-Dutch Jake. Trixe warns Jake that this could be a bad idea but Jake insists that everything is under control only he mistakenly grabs a green coloured bottle and the makes the next doppleganger but this one looks a little darker than him. Jake explians the situation to his new doppleganger and gives him the order to protect his face from Brad, only he blocks Brads fist, scweezes it and lets go only for him to fall off the ramp. Jake told the new doppleganger he was supposed to take his orders like the rest of the 'Doop Gang' but the new doppleganger decives Jake saying he's not like the others. He then assumes dragon form and Jake retaliates only to feel weaker than before and loses the battle. Back at the shop Jake and Fu Dog decuss why this doopleganger was bad. Jake shows Fu the green coloured bottle and he says that this one is a negative chi ampliphire which make dooplegangers that are evil, disobiedient and a little darker than the original, hence 'Evil Jake' and every doppleganer made sucks away chi energy from the original rendering him weaker. In order for Jake to defeat his evil doppleganger he must reabsorb the other dopplegangers and take back the chi strength they're sucking from him. Just as Jake is about to absorb Cooger-Scout Jake, Evil Jake pops out and absorbs him. Seeing as he has the same idea, Jake races to Chore-Hound Jake but Evil Jake beats him there and Jake slips and slides head first into a bucket. He then heads for school only to find Evil Jake has already gotten to Study-Boy Jake so he heads for the back courts where Trixe is putting up an arguement about giving up Jump-Rope Jake. Evil Jake sees this and manages to absorb him. Back at the shop, Jake explians Evil Jake absorbed all his dopplegangers before he could, Evil Jake pops in at the shop stating that that there's still 1 Jake left to absorb... the Original!

Fu Dog and Jake give Evil Jake the slip and hide in the streets but Jake decides to try again and defeat Evil Jake the 'hard way.' Jake spots him in the forest and the 2 fight until Jake gets knocked out and lands in a merry-go round. Evil Jake then manages to pin down Jake and starts absorbing him (because the real Jake is being absorbed it takes longer to do so); fortunetly Jake manages to make another dopplegaanger (Extra Jake) successfuly without a chi ampliphire which detracts Evil Jake allowing the Real Jake to strike him 3 times thus releasing his dopplegangers. Evil Jake tries to fly away but Jake zooms at him successfully reabsorbing him. The 'Dopp Gang' congratulate Jake on his victory he thanks his dopplegangers for their help and decides to conquer time managent on his own without the shortcuts and lies. Having learnt his lesson, Jake reabsorbs the dopplegangers reverting back to the one and only American Dragon Jake Long. In the end Jake achieves time management perfection and does the double dutch tournment with Trixie and Spud while Fu Dog babysits Haley.
