Zack and Tommy are sparring at the Youth Center. Eventually Tommy uses his leg to side sweep Zack and Zack is knocked down on the mat. Tommy asks Zack if he is okay? Zack replies yeah. Tommy helps Zack back up on his feet. Zack compliments Tommy on the karate move. Tommy returns the compliment by telling Zack, he wasn't so bad himself. Tommy and Zack walk along. Zack asks Tommy about the dance. Tommy replies that he hasn't asked her. Zack can't believe it. Tommy explains that he is nervous. Zack tells Tommy, that Kimberly is going to say yes, but you have to ask her first. Tommy thinks about what Zack said, as Zack reaches for a board. Tommy asks Zack, so you think I should ask her today? Zack replies, don't put it off, man. It's time to make your move. Tommy makes a flying kick and breaks the board in half.
Rita walks into a room where Baboo, Squatt, and Goldar are waiting. She is laughing. Rita declares the time has finally come! She has Squatt, Baboo, and Goldar gather round as she sits in a chair. Rita has a map and she lays it on the table in front of her. Rita has come up with the perfect plan to conquer that little, pathetic planet called Earth. Baboo and Squatt look over Rita's shoulders as she looks at her map. Squatt asks what's the plan, your evilness? Goldar replies, with the green candle, formed from magic wax, when it burns down it will steal the Green Ranger's powers. Goldar laughs. Rita holds a miniature wand in her hand as she looks over the map. Rita commands the wand to find Green Ranger, point him out! The wand travels over the map. Baboo and Squatt are impressed that it works. The wand stops and Rita smiles, what a great day!
Tommy and Zack have gone back to sparring. After awhile, Zack flips Tommy onto the mat. Zack tells Tommy, he has lost his focus. Tommy blames Zack - you got me thinking about Kim. Zack helps Tommy back up on his feet. Zack tells Tommy, the sooner you ask Kim to the dance, the sooner your mind will be at ease. Trust me. Tommy doesn't quite buy it. Tommy replies, if you're such a pro, let's see you in action. Zack is more than happy to demonstrate his moves on Angela. Zack gives a play by play. First you have to catch her eye with your walk. Angela gives Zack a look and continues her way to the counter. Tommy grins as he watches. Zack continues. Then you have to impress her with some smooth spins, which he then demonstrates. Angela continues walking. Zack concludes - finally you just have to bust some moves. Zack does some great dance steps, but none of them impress Angela. Zack slides over to where Angela is standing at the counter. Angela tells Zack to get a life, before walking away. Zack is heartbroken. Tommy walks up to him, laughing. Tommy jokes, real impressive buddy. Bulk and Skull walk in. Bulk remarks, real impressive, if you're trying to get a date with a carnival geek. Skull laughs. Bulk asks them, what's the matter? You guys can't get a date? Zack replies, if you guys are such experts, why don't you teach us? Bulk pulls up his jacket over his head and zips it so only his face is sticking out. Bulk recites a poem to them. Roses are red. Violets are blue. No girl in the world is going to go out with you! Skull laughs once more, but not for long. Bulk is stuck and can't remove his jacket from his head. Skull tries to help him out of the jacket and they both end up falling onto the floor. Tommy and Zack laugh. Zack calls over a few of the girls at the Youth Center as he and Tommy walk over to where Bulk and Skull are laying on the floor. They decide to recite a poem as well. Roses are red. Violets are blue. We sure can learn something from you.....not! Everyone laughs.
Rita starts the incantation of her spell to take Green Ranger's power. Goldar is with her and he is holding the green candle. Goldar states it will be done. The Putties will find Green Ranger and take his coin. Goldar laughs. Goldar continues by stating, and then we will have him!
