Miss Appleby is passing back tests to her students. Bulk tosses his test away. Skull takes his and crumbles it up and tosses it on the floor. Miss Appleby apologies to Billy as she gives him back his test. Billy doesn't believe it, he got a B. The bell rings and students gather their stuff and head out. Miss Appleby reminds them, only those with top grades will be invited to join the Young Scientists of America club. Tomorrow is the final test. So study! Jason is almost out the door when Zack stops him. Zack points out Billy and they both wait at the door as Billy slowly walks up to them. Trini and Kimberly join Zack and Jason before Billy reaches them. It's obvious that Billy is very upset. He tells them, he is most perplex. I've never receive a B before. Zack tells Billy not to sweat it. A B is not so bad. Kimberly adds, yeah, if they were, I'll be in big trouble. I get them all the time. Billy responds, perhaps Kimberly, but I never do and I've been working so hard at this. Trini tells him, you did your best. That's all any of us can do. Skull and Bulk walk up and stand on either side of Billy. Bulk tells him, too bad about the B geek. B stands for Bad. Didn't you know that? Skull adds, it's also stands for Bulk. Jason tells Bulk to back off. Bulk and Skull head towards the door. Kimberly tells them to leave Billy alone. Bulk glances back at Billy with a gleam in his eyes. See ya! Wouldn't want to B ya! Skull and Bulk laugh and head out of the classroom. Kimberly glares while Trini looks concern. Billy is very stressed over the taunts and test result.
Rita has been watching Angel Grove High School and is delighted with Billy's dismay. Poor Billy got a B! That gives me an idea! Finster, make me a monster! A horrible stinging bee! Finster is ready to creature another monster for Rita. I'm sure with my super putty I can create just the monster you're looking for. A powerful Grumble Bee monster with a nasty venom and sharp stinger. Rita has entered the monster making room and plays with the clay monsters. Finster is confident that this monster will be the end of the Power Rangers. Rita laughs.
Still feeling down, Billy removes his books from his locker. When he turns around, his friends are standing there. They can all see that Billy is still upset. Zack tells Billy not to take it so hard. Kimberly reminds Billy that you tried hard and did your best. Jason suggests they go to the park and shoot a few baskets to clear his mind. Billy declines. I appreciate your efforts, but acceptance into the Young Scientists club is very important to me. I better study. Trini volunteers to stay behind and help quiz Billy. Billy appreciates the offer. Zack, Kimberly, and Jason head off to the park as Billy and Trini leave for the Youth Center.
Sitting at a table, with a book propped up, Trini quizzes Billy.
