After returning to the Duel Academy, Jaden and his friends are met by a new girl, Alice, living in the Slifer Dorm. She cooks and cleans for the boys and Hassleberry starts to fall in love with her. That night, Hassleberry went missing and Jaden found him near the river with Alice standing by him. Alice was really the spirit of a doll who watched duelists mistreat their cards and show no respect for duel spirits. Jaden dueled against Alice and her deck full of doll monsters. Although Alice had the advantage, Jaden won using Level 10 Winged Kuriboh. Afterwards, Alice's soul returned to its original doll form and was returned to its holding case.
