The Youth Center is hosting Parents Day. Numerous parents and students are enjoying themselves at the Youth Center. Mr. Cranston walks in and waves to Mr. Caplan as he makes his way over to a table. At the table, Mr. Scott and Mr. Kwan are arm wrestling. They are being watch by Mrs. Scott, Jason, Mrs. Kwan, and Trini. Mr. Cranston joins the table just as Mr. Kwan beats Mr. Scott in arm wrestling. Jason can't believe it and asks his dad if he is giving up? Trini tells them, her dad always tells her mental and physical strength should always go hand in hand. Mr. Kwan adds, it's always been a winning combination. Mr. Scott laughs and agrees. Jason asks Mr. Cranston, what's keeping Billy? Mr. Cranston replies, you know how my son is when he's occupied with a new invention. Skull wanders over to their table with a video camera and hears Mr. Cranston's comment. Skull replies, yeah, boring. Skull laughs and then wanders around filming. He runs into Zack and his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor enjoys being filmed, but both Zack and his dad do not. Mr. Taylor glares at the camera and Zack tells Skull, the show is over. Skull walks over to the food table and films the eats. Skull then films his parents talking to an annoyed Mr. Caplan. Mr. Caplan asks Skull to kindly put the camera down. Instead, Skull continues filming as Mr. Caplan comments that he assumed Bulk and his parents would be joining us. He did tell them about Parents Day, didn't he? Skull is amused and replies, yeah, sure Mr. Caplan. They are just having some trouble with their car. They should be cruising in just about now. Suddenly the back wall is hit hard and shakes the building. Ernie is holding a tray of food and is grateful that he landed on the table safely without spilling anything. The table cracks and Ernie goes down as the cake on the other end flies through the air. Bulk enters the Youth Center with his parents and the cake hits all three of them. Mrs. Bulkmeier is very upset as she complains, this is my good dress. Mr. Bulkmeier is more amused. He dips his finger onto the icing and takes a bite. Mr. Bulkmeier tells his wife, she has never been sweeter. Disgruntled, Mrs. Bulkmeier hits Mr. Bulkmeier and walks away. Mrs. Hart walks in, scanning the room for Kimberly. Trini walks up and says hello. Mrs. Hart asks Trini if Kimberly is here? Trini replies, no, I thought she was coming with you. Mrs. Hart notes that Kimberly's dad has arrived, but with no Kimberly. Mrs. Hart wonders where Kimberly is. A teenage girl walks up and tells them if they are looking for Kimberly, I just saw her outside. Trini thanks her and tells Mrs. Hart that she will go and get her.
Rita is aware of Parents Day. She is flanked by Baboo and Squatt as she enters the monster making room. Finster, Goldar, and Scorpina are all there. Baboo tells Rita that humans feel their parents are very important people. Squatt adds, they're always going on and on. Rita wants a monster who will kidnap the parents of the Rangers. Scorpina notes then they will be under our control. Rita likes the idea. Finster suggests they use the Dramole monster. It comes with a perfectly delightful gas that can hypnotize anyone who breaths it. Dramole travels beneath the ground, completely undetected.
