Tommy mutters, oh man, I'm history. Tommy discreetly walks over to the lockers as the announcer states, apparently Tommy is a no show. Tommy looks around and then contacts Zordon. Zordon informs Tommy, Rita's Pumpkin Rapper monster is overwhelming the Power Rangers. You must get to the park immediately. Tommy morphs and teleports out of the Youth Center. Green Ranger leaps in with his Dragon Dagger and slices the vines which has encased the rest of the Rangers. The force knocks Pumpkin Rapper off his feet. Green Ranger joins the rest of the Rangers as Pumpkin Rapper gets back up on his feet. Green Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers to get their weapons ready. Green Ranger charges towards Pumpkin Rapper with his Dragon Dagger drawn. Pumpkin Rapper fires at Green Ranger several times, but misses. Green Ranger leaps into the air once more and strikes Pumpkin Rapper with his Dragon Dagger. Green Ranger grabs a hold of Pumpkin Rapper as the rest of the Rangers put together the Power Blaster. Green Ranger kicks Pumpkin Rapper away. Pumpkin Rapper falls to the ground, but gets back up on his feet. The rest of the Rangers fire the Power Blaster, hitting and destroying Pumpkin Rapper. After the battle, Tommy and Kimberly are walking out of the Youth Center, talking about their battle with Pumpkin Rapper. Kimberly tells Tommy she is sorry that it cost him his karate match. Tommy is not too concern, there will be other trophies. Tommy tells Kimberly she would have looked great in that car. Kimberly confesses that she really really really wanted the car. Tommy tells her you don't have to win a prize from a stupid game show to know you are a winner. Kimberly adds, that we're both winners. Bulk and Skull drive up to them in the car. Skull asks Kimberly if she wants to take a ride in his brand new car. Bulk reminds him it's our brand new car. Kimberly replies, dream on Skull. A woman approaches the car and tells them to get out. Bulk asks her, what do you mean? The woman introduces herself as representative of network's standards and practices. We reviewed your episode of Trick or Treat and discovered you and Bulk were cheating. The car goes back to the network. Skull comments, we've been busted Bulkie Boy as they get out of the car. The woman gets into the car as Bulk stands against the car, unaware that part of his costume is stuck inside the car door. Tommy and Kimberly watch the whole thing with amusement. Skull feels a little sad as he watches the woman drive the car away. Suddenly Bulk is spinning in circles as his costume unravels. Bulk spins out of control and knocks Skull to the pavement as he falls down. Tommy and Kimberly laugh. Tommy comments, well I guess you win some, you lose some. Kimberly adds, trick or treat guys!

Tommy is at his locker at Angel Grove High School when laughing, Bulk and Skull walking down the hall towards their lockers. Tommy's locker is close by them and he glances over at them before walking over to his friends. Tommy greets Jason. I heard you and Zack got Ernie to give Roger another tryout on the junior soccer team. Jason replies, Ernie is great. He is giving all the runner ups a second chance. Trini is excited. Wow! Do you think Roger will make it this time? Zack answers, training with the Jaseman and me. He'll ace it. Zack has a soccer ball and he walks a little a ways from his friends as he bounces the ball on his knees. He has no idea Bulk and Skull are behind him until Bulk grabs the ball. Bulk asks Zack, don't you think someone who knows soccer aught to train the kid? Billy asks, and that would be? Bulk replies, obviously you have never seen me on the practice field. Laughing, Kimberly responds, I don't think anyone has. Bulk gets offended at the remark and states, that's because I don't need practice. Zack tries to take the ball, but Bulk refuses to let go. Bulk gets ready to give a demonstration of his skills. Jason warns his friends to be careful. Trini warns Bulk, that you shouldn't be doing this in the hallway. Miss Appleby walks around the corner just as Bulk kicks the soccer ball. Tommy, Jason, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, and Zack all duck out of the way. The ball flies past Miss Appleby, startling her, and causing her to drop her papers. The ball hits a wall, knocks down an award and then heads straight down the hall again. Tommy leaps out of the way, slamming his hand and communicator against the wall. Jason, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, and Zack back up against the lockers. The ball hits Bulk in the chest and then bounces into Zack's hands. Bulk slides to the floor as Zack tells him, someone could have gotten hurt. Kimberly, Zack, Jason, Trini, and Billy walk over to help Miss Appleby. Tommy checks his communicator. Bulk yanks Skull out of the locker and yells at him, you were suppose to catch it. Miss Appleby tells them they both have detention after school. Kimberly notices Tommy's look of concern and asks if he is alright? Tommy replies, I'm fine. Bulk struggles to get up and then yanks Skull to his feet. They both stumble towards Miss Appleby's classroom. Tommy waits for them to pass by and is about to enter the classroom when his communicator goes off. Tommy finds a quiet place in the hall and contacts Zordon and asks you call? Zordon replies, no Tommy, you contacted me. Tommy is surprised. Really? There must be a problem with my communicator. I'll take it to Billy as soon as I can. Zordon replies, acknowledge. Zordon out. Tommy gives a small nod and then heads to class. Tommy is sitting in Miss Appleby's classroom. Bulk and Skull are sitting behind him. Miss Appleby is standing in front of the chalkboard as she talks to the class. Today we're going to talk about the theory of the survival of the fittest. Tommy's communicator goes off. Tommy quickly covers it up with his hand. Miss Appleby asks Tommy to please turn off his pager. It takes Tommy a moment to realize Miss Appleby is actually referring to his communicator as a pager and makes a show of turning it off. Miss Appleby goes back to the chalkboard, but before she can start writing, the communicator goes off again. Bulk and Skull make a show of being bothered by the "pager" as Miss Appleby warns Tommy that she is not going to tell him again. Tommy, once more, acts like he is turning off his "pager". Within seconds the communicator goes off again. Miss Appleby asks Tommy to give her the pager. Bulk and Skull are amused as Tommy is stunned - what? Miss Appleby tells him, we can't have your friends beeping you in class. Tommy protests as Bulk and Skull make mocking faces behind him. Miss Appleby tells him, hand it over now. Tommy reluctantly gets up, and Bulk puts his shoe on Tommy's desk, and walks over to Miss Appleby. Tommy gives Miss Appleby his communicator. Miss Appleby places in a drawer filled with various items in her desk. Miss Appleby asks the class, now where were we as Tommy stands awkwardly in front of the class. After school, Tommy walks into Miss Appleby's classroom where Bulk and Skull are serving detention by thumb wrestling. Tommy asks them what they are doing? Bulk replies, sumo thumb wrestling. Tommy asks if they have seen Miss Appleby? Bulk knows what Tommy is after. Bulk asks him, do you think Miss Appleby is going to give back your pager? Miss Appleby gives nothing back. Ever! A few moments later, Tommy stands behind Miss Appleby's desk debating whether he should just go ahead and take his communicator back. He makes several moves towards the drawer, but can't quite bring himself to open it. Miss Appleby walks in and is shocked when she sees Tommy reaching for the desk drawer. With big grins and nudging, Bulk and Skull enjoy the confrontation between Miss Appleby and Tommy. Tommy asks Miss Appleby if she would consider returning his "pager". Please. Miss Appleby gives the "pager" back to Tommy. Tommy is walking down the halls of Angel Grove High School, when his communicator goes off. After a quick look around, Tommy walks over to a corner. Tommy speaks into the communicator, Zordon come in.
