Jason tells him his biggest fault is that he is forgetful. Jason leaves. After practice, Tommy joins Trini and Kimberly. Tommy can't get over the fact that he is forgetful. Trini and Kimberly tell him that they will help him with the problem. Bulk & Skull stop by Kimberly and Trini's table to give Tommy a hard time and then leave. Later, Kimberly and Tommy are walking in the park when they are attacked by the Green and Pink Mutant Rangers. Tommy and Kimberly have a difficult time and the Green and Pink Mutant Rangers leave in triumph. Kimberly tells Tommy that Rita has come up with her own version of Rangers again. They leave for the Command Center. Jason, Zack, Trini, and Billy are there as well. Zordon tells them that Goldar has distributed the Badges of Darkness to four putties to become the Mutant Rangers. There is no evil Red Ranger at this time. Unable to do anything at this time, the Rangers return to their lives. To keep himself occupied, Billy had made a device that alerts Tommy to the next thing he has to do. Tommy likes the device and thanks Billy. The following day Kimberly tries to help Tommy to remember by tying strings around his wrist - a trick from her grandmother. The device Billy made malfunctions and then Tommy remembers that he left home the notebook that Trini had organized for him. Tommy leaves. After awhile, Tommy races back to his school and his locker. Tommy finds his communicator going off inside the locker and contacts Zordon. Zordon tells Tommy he must hurry to the Angel Grove shoreline. The other Rangers need your help. Tommy morphs and teleports out to help the Rangers. The Rangers have a difficult time against the Mutant Rangers and Commander Crayfish. They retreat back to Command Center. Zordon gives them weapons that looks like their old ones, but more powerful. The Rangers return to the battle and their new powerful weapons help. The battle escalates to Zords, and the Rangers soon defeat Commander Crayfish and the Mutant Rangers with the Ultrazord. The following day, at school, Kimberly and Trini tell Tommy that it's okay to have faults. Jason, Zack, and Billy joined them telling Tommy that your true friends will accept you as you are. They all watch Bulk and Skull stroll down the hall dressed in tuxes. Bulk and Skull present Miss Appleby with a gift. Miss Appleby insists that Bulk and Skull open the gift as she just had her nails done. Bulk and Skull have no choice but to open the gift and have silly string spray all over them.

At the Youth Center, Zack is helping Tommy with his work-out. Tommy doesn't realize that Zack is distracted by the sight of Angela. Also at the Youth Center are Bulk & Skull who are working on a song. Kimberly walks by and then pauses to listen to their lyrics. Kimberly laughs and tells them, you guys got to be kidding me. Bulk tells her they have a very important audition today that is going to make both of them very big stars. Kimberly joins Tommy and Zack. Zack knows that Angela's birthday is coming up and he wants to impress her. Tommy suggests sending some flowers, but Zack thinks flowers are tired. Zack is thinking of something real special like a pair of pearl earrings. Tommy feels that's a little out of Zack's budget. Kimberly suggests a singing telegram. Zack considers it and glances over at Angela. Zack decides a singing telegram at the restaurant right before he presents her with the pearl earrings. Kimberly tells him maybe he shouldn't try to impress her so much. But Zack is confident it will out work out and tells them to trust him. He also asks them if they would be willing to make it a double date if Angela agrees. Tommy and Kimberly agree to go on the double date. The following day Zack and Angela go on their double date with Tommy and Kimberly. They arrive at the French restaurant. Zack lets Angela and Kimberly walk ahead of them as they make their way to the table. The teens pick up their menus and note that it is all in French. Zack reassures them. Don't worry. I got it covered. Zack calls for their waiter. Garcon! The waiter walks over. Oui, Monsieur. We are ready to order? Zack replies oui. He suggests to his friends that he take the liberty of ordering for all of them. Zack tries to impress Angela by ordering in French. After their food arrives, Zack notices Angela is not really eating anything, just pushing the food around her plate. Angela, don't you like it? Angela responds, about as much as you like your frog legs. Zack has a quick explanation. I'm just waiting for it to cool a little. After a while, the waiter approaches their table. Escusez Moi. There is a Mademoiselle Angela at the table? Surprised Angela replies, that's me. The waiter responds, tres bien. With a distasteful look on his face, he snaps his fingers. Bulk and Skull approached their table singing off key. When Skull sees who's table it is he stops. No way! But Bulk wants to prove his talent. Now wait, Skull. Let's show them what real music is all about. Zack can't believe how badly his date is going. Oh, no. Tommy teases Bulk and Skull. Well, I guess the audition paid off, huh, guys? Bulk and Skull don't respond, instead they sing. My baby's as fine as a porcupine. And her eyes are brown like mud. But she's the queen of mean. So why does she treat me like a French bean? Angela is not impressed. Some surprise Zack. In a last ditch effort, Zack gives his gift to Angela. Angela takes the gift but is reluctant to open it. I suppose this explodes or a can of worms jump out at me. Zack pleads with her to just open it. Angela is very surprised to see a lovely pair of pearl earrings. She tells Zack they're beautiful. Zack is very excited to see one thing go right. You like them? Angela responds, I love them. Zack and Angela lean in for a kiss as the waiter approaches their table with a large cake. Bulk and Skull are still enthusiastically playing and Skull accidentally hits the waiter with his guitar. The waiter loses his balance and falls onto their table, slamming the cake onto it. Skull then accidentally hits Bulk and both of them go flying and crash into another table. The waiter is furious. Look what you've done! Bulk has a mouthful of frog legs. Skull gets every excited and pops one of the frog legs out and starts eating it. Bulk spits out the remaining frog legs which Skull quickly gathers up. Tommy and Zack have both been splattered by the cake. They get up and try to wipe themselves off. Tommy tells the girls, I think we better go clean up. Zack agrees. Absolutely. Uh, we'll be right back, ladies. Don't go away. Angela softly replies, I wouldn't dream of it. Tommy and Zack leave. When Tommy and Zack return to the restaurant, they are puzzled by what they see. Everyone is as still as statues. Zack runs over to his friends (Trini, Billy, and Jason had just entered the restaurant) to check on them and can't believe what he is seeing. Oh, man. Tommy checks on a few customers. This is weird. Tommy and Zack hurry over to their table and Zack is upset. Oh, no, Angela! Tommy stops and checks Bulk's pulse. They still have their vital signs. Zack suggests they teleport to the Command Center and Tommy agrees. Tommy and Zack teleport out. Zordon informs them that Rita intends to destroy the sea which in turn will destroy the planet. The Oysterizer and the Ecocide Pearl must be stopped. Tommy asks about the others. How do we break the stillness spell? Zordon replies, it won't be easy. Observe the viewing globe. The guys turn around and face the viewing globe which is showing images of Oysterizer and his pearl. Zordon continues, to break the spell, lure the Oysterizer out of the sea and destroy his pearl. Caution. He may try to return to the sea and lure you into an underwater battle. Alpha 5 adds, that could be dangerous. Your zords may have to function in deep water. Zack comments, man, that would be a first. Zordon reminds Tommy that his powers are still temporary. Are you certain you want to take this risk? Tommy replies, I have to. Zack adds, I say we make oyster soup out of this guy. Tommy and Zack morph and teleport out. Green Ranger and Black Ranger arrive at the beach. Black Ranger searches one area of the beach as Green Ranger heads south. Oysterizer confronts Black Ranger and soon Black Ranger is covered in acid gel. Suddenly Green Ranger leaps in and strikes Oysterizer with his Dragon Dagger. Oysterizer is knocked off his feet. Green Ranger hurries over to Black Ranger. Black Ranger warns him not to touch him. Oysterizer sprayed me with some kind of acid gel. It would get you too. Green Ranger tells him to take his shield. The powers in it will heal you and give you energy. The shield transfers over to Black Ranger. Black Ranger thanks Green Ranger and asks him, what about you? Green Ranger replies, I'll be okay. Green Ranger shouts out a warning as Oysterizer stands up again. Oysterizer threatens Green Ranger, you're going to pay for that! Oysterizer shoots out his acid gel towards Green Ranger. Green Ranger shields Black Ranger. Green Ranger is now struck with the acid gel and falls to the grounds. Black Ranger hurries over to Green Ranger and tells him to sit tight. I'll take care of this guy. Black Ranger leaps over to Oysterizer and punches him hard. Oysterizer goes flying and lands back into the ocean. Black Ranger is confident that should break the spell. Black Ranger is right and the people in the restaurant return to normal. Zack returns to the restaurant to get his friends and inform them on what has happened. They all hurry out of the restaurant, morph, form the Megazord. The Megazord quickly destroys the Ecocide Pearl. Oysterizer is furious and battles Megazord, which has a difficult time. Green Ranger is standing on the beach when he hears Blue Ranger's voice over his communicator. Tommy, do you read us? We need help. Green Ranger quickly summons Dragonzord with his Dragon Dagger. Dragonzord arrives and strikes Oysterizer with it's tail. Oysterizer is sent spinning through the water and lands back on the surface. Dragonzord emerges from the ocean. Oysterizer is not impressed. Well, what do we have here? Another zord for me to destroy. Oysterizer laughs. Dragonzord swings it's tail once more but misses Oysterizer. Oysterizer strikes Dragonzord. Oysterizer gloats. So, you think you're through, huh? Well, try this on for size. A ball and chain appear in Oysterizer hands. Oysterizer strikes Dragonzord with it's ball. Dragonzord is hit hard. Oysterizer strikes Dragonzord with it's ball again and it wraps around Dragonzord. Oysterizer tries to pull Dragonzord towards him, but it resists. Oysterizer gloats, feeling a bit tied up? Well, let me help you unwind a little. Oysterizer laughs. Oysterizer sprays it's toxic goo onto Dragonzord. Want a little more? How about this? Oysterizer shoots flames at Dragonzord. Dragonzord falls to the ground. Oysterizer continues to yank on the chain, trying to drag Dragonzord. Now, you're through! Finished dust! A rumor! Yesterday's news! Suddenly the chain is broken. Oysterizer falls to the ground, but quickly gets back up. Megazord has arrived and stands protectively in front of Dragonzord. Pink Ranger points out that Dragonzord is covered in acid gel. Megazord uses it's laser to clear the acid gel off of Dragonzord. Dragonzord gets up and stands next to Megazord. Oysterizer is not happy. You two are becoming a real pain in the shell. Oysterizer charges towards them holding a spike in it's hands. Green Ranger shouts, let's do it buddy and begins playing his Dragon Dagger. Dragonzord fires it's missiles at Oysterizer. Oysterizer is hit several times and knocked to the ground. Oysterizer gets back up. Red Ranger shouts, all right, Rangers, let's finish this! Megazord destroys Oysterizer with it's power sword. The following day, Angela is working out at the Youth Center. Tommy, Jason, Billy, and Kimberly are sitting at a table. With careful glances around, Jason tells his friends that he's glad the Oysterizer didn't have much time to do some real damage. Billy agrees and admits he's relieved. Kimberly leads a toast to teamwork. Everyone watches as Zack, trailed by Bulk and Skull playing their instruments, walks up to Angela singing. Zack kneels down and continues to sing his song to Angela, who is moved by the lyrics. After a few moments, Skull breaks into song. Everyone winces or covers their ears. Angela laughs. Zack apologizes. Angela apologizes as well. I guess I shouldn't be so materialistic about things. Zack tells her happy birthday, as he gives her the flowers. Angela and Zack kiss. This time Bulk breaks into song with Skull quickly joins in. Tommy and his friends laugh.
