Zack is at the Youth Center, practicing his dance moves for an upcoming dance contest. Trini, Jason and Kimberly are watching Zack practice. Kimberly shouts out great moves Zack! Jason tells Kimberly and Trini he's going to blow them away at the dance contest this week. Bulk and Skull walk up and stand behind Jason, Kimberly, and Trini. Bulk tells them he thinks Zack is going to blow it at the dance contest. Skull laughs. Zack has overheard their words and is trying not to let it upset him. Zack does a dance move and gets very close to his friends. Kimberly panics and jumps out of the way. Her drink spills all over Bulk. Zack tells Bulk he is sorry. Zack is upset with himself - he doesn't feel he has what it takes to win. Bulk is very angry. Bulk follows Zack out onto the floor. Bulk tells Zack he's got what it takes to make him lose.
Rita declares she is sick of those pinheads! It's time for the heavy artillery! Baboo and Squatt are with Rita. They cower in a corner. Baboo realizes Rita is serious this time. Goldar tells Rita she is brilliant. Send Mutitis down to destroy the city while Lokar sends the Rangers to your dreaded Island of Illusion. Goldar laughs.
Tommy is giving a karate lesson to two young boys. Tommy reminds the boys that a true martial arts master will use his skills for self defense only. Tommy then has one of the boys come at him and uses a blocking move. Then Tommy has the two boys practice the blocking move. Tommy is very happy at how well they learned the blocking move. Tommy tells them it puts you in charge of the situation, so no one gets hurt. The boys give Tommy high fives and he goes to join his friends. Zack and Bulk are having a dance off. Trini, Jason, and Kimberly watch them. Zack does really well with his dance moves. Bulk tries, but can't match Zack's ability. The crowds are impressed with Zack's dance moves and amused by Bulk's. Bulk ends up crashing into several columns that are on the floor. Both Bulk & Skull end up on the floor. Everyone laughs. Billy joins Jason, Kimberly, and Trini. Zack walks over to them. Kimberly tells Zack guess you taught them a new dance. Tommy walks over and agrees - crash and burn. Everyone laughs, except for Zack. Zack tells them he just tripped himself up. Just like I'm going to do at the dance contest. Zack walks away. Billy and Trini think Zack doesn't have enough confidence in himself. Jason tells them Zack's cool. He'll get over it.
Rita has been watching the Youth Center. Rita notes Zack's been feeling a little down.
