Angel Grove High School is having student elections.  Signs and banners are posted everywhere.  Aisha, Kimberly, Tommy, and Billy are walking together through the halls.  Aisha spots one of the signs and points it out to her friends.  Billy asks Tommy if he ever thought about being school president.  Tommy is unsure - it's kind of a big responsibility.  Billy agrees that it is.  Billy wants Tommy to think of the thrill of the political process.  A real chance to make a difference.  Billy adds that if Tommy runs, he will be his campaign manager.  Tommy is still unsure and asks Kimberly what she thinks?  Kimberly replies I think you would make a great president.  With Kimberly's support, Tommy decides to go for school president.  Billy and Tommy walk off as Kimberly and Aisha head over to their lockers.  Billy has already come up with a campaign slogan - Tommy Oliver - Best Man For The Job.  Tommy likes it.  At the top of the stairs is Bulk and Skull.  Bulk is busy noticing the pretty girls, but Skull has noticed the school elections sign.  Skull thinks he would make a great school president.  Bulk laughs.  Bulk and Skull walk down the stairs.  Skull lists what he would do as school president, no more homework, detention, or school!  Bulk pauses as he gets an idea.  Bulk decides if he was school president, he would have access to the student files.  With those, we can find out who the Power Rangers are!  Bulk and Skull walk off.  At the lockers, Aisha tells Kimberly that sometimes the best man for the job is a woman.  Aisha thinks Kimberly should run for president.  Kimberly is unsure about running against Tommy.  Aisha doesn't see any problems.  Aisha points out that they are good friends, that would make it a good clean race.  Besides, we need more women involved in school academics.  Kimberly gets excited about the idea.  Kimberly and Aisha walk over to Tommy and Billy.  Kimberly asks Tommy how he would feel if she decided to run for student president.  Tommy thinks it's a great idea.  At least one of them will win.  Tommy shakes Kimberly's hand and wishes her good luck.

Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa have been watching the school.  Lord Zedd is pleased.  Nothing can spoil a relationship or friendship faster than politics.  I can turn those power puffs against each other and crush them.  Rita likes Lord Zedd's idea, but she has just as many diabolical plots as he does.  Lord Zedd tells Rita, she's just a girl.  You can't be a bad guy, you're not even a guy!  Rita becomes angry.  I'll show you what a woman can do.  Lord Zedd tells her to be quiet while he comes up with a plan to get rid of those teenage do-gooders.  Lord Zedd walks away as Rita yells at him that he is too late.  I already have a plan!  Rita screams for Squatt, Baboo, and Goldar.  The three hurry in.  Rita tells them she has something for them.  A magic rope appears in her hand.  Rita tosses the magic rope towards Baboo.  She instructs them to use the magic rope to put a spell on Tommy and Kimberly that will make them super competitive.  Goldar wonders if Lord Zedd knows about this?  Rita replies no, but he will when I destroy those puny power punks.  Then he will be force to admit I'm the baddest bad girl of them all!  Rita laughs.

Kimberly and Tommy are walking in the park.  Tommy compliments Kimberly on her campaign slogans and Kimberly returns the compliment.  Kimberly is very happy that they can run against each other and get along so well.  Baboo and Squatt are hiding behind some bushes.  They spot Kimberly and Tommy and quickly spread out the magic rope across the sidewalk.  Baboo plans to pull it when they go by.  Kimberly and Tommy are laughing and talking and do not see the magic rope.  They trip over it and fall onto the sidewalk.  They are instantly put under the spell.
