After school, Billy and Zack are fighting Putties in the park when Tommy, Kimberly, Trini, and Jason arrive to help. Except Billy and Zack see them as more Putties. The "Putties" continue to fight the other Putties. Zack and Billy run in and fight the Putties. Zack tells the Putties, you blew it clay heads! Billy adds, the Rangers would never attack us. One by one, Zedd's Putties are being destroyed. Zack spots two "Putties" fighting each other. Zack calls out, leave my friend alone! The "Putty" waves at Zack. Zack spins his way towards a "Putty". The "Putty" tries to protect it's face and yells Zack, it's me, Trini! Zack stops just in time. Zack backs away and Billy joins him. Billy states, I believe Zedd somehow is making us see you as Putties. Zack adds, I can't take it. It's like I got Putty on the brain. Tommy states, bad news man. Kimberly is not happy. Oh please. You mean I look like a Putty. Zack apologizes. Jason suggests they go back to the Command Center. Zack and Billy teleport with the "Putties". When they arrive, Jason asks, do we still look like Putties to you guys? Billy replies affirmative. Zack agrees. Zordon tells them, apparently Lord Zedd's strategy is to try and upset the balance of your team. If he can keep you guessing about who's a friend and who's an enemy it will leave him free to release his latest monster on Angel Grove. The Saliguana. The teens look at the viewing globe where images of Saliguana are being displayed. Zack notes, man that is one hot headed lizard. Zordon informs them that Lord Zedd has combined an iguana with the mystical salamander. A creature capable of living in and breathing fire. Billy notes, well if we're going to defeat it we'll have to make a device that will cool it down. Zordon tells Zack and Billy, that will be your task. Alpha 5 adds, and while you're doing that, I will try and find a way to reverse Zedd's spell. Billy hopes Alpha can do it. At Billy's lab, Billy and Zack work on an ice device. After awhile, Saliguana is attacking Angel Grove. Jason contacts Billy and Zack and tells them they are under contact. It's time to go. Tommy tells Kimberly and Jason that his energy is low. Zordon will have to recharge me. Jason replies, we'll see you there. I hope. Kimberly and Jason morph and teleport out. After a lengthy battle, Saliguana is defeated by Thunder Megazord. The next day, Tommy, Kimberly, and Jason enter Miss Appleby's classroom and walk towards Zack, Billy, and Trini, who are sitting at their desks. Jason hands them their glasses. He whispers, Alpha discovered Zedd's spell embedded in the glasses. So he soaked them in a special energy beam. It should deactivate. Reluctantly Zack and Billy try on the glasses. Jason asks, did it work? Very happily Billy and Zack replied yeah! They give each other high fives. Bulk notes the commotion and asks Skull, what do you think they're so happy about? Skull shakes his head, he has no idea. Skull suddenly notices the iguana is climbing up his leg. He gets very excited and points at it as he yells, iguana! Bulk is also very excited to see the iguana and takes it from Skull's leg. Bulk gets an idea. This iguana was near the Power Rangers. If they're in the school, it will sniff them out. Skull agrees. Bulk sets the iguana on the floor of the classroom to sniff out the Power Rangers. Billy asks his friends, what are Bulk and Skull doing with Miss Appleby's iguana? Kimberly replies, I think...they're letting it go. The other students become terrified when they see the iguana on the loose. They jump out of their chairs and run from it. Bulk and Skull laugh. Miss Appleby is not amused. Bulk! Skull! Put the iguana away boys! Bulk picks up the iguana, places it on his shoulder, and walks towards the front of the classroom, followed by Skull. Skull comments, now we'll never know if the Power Rangers were in here or not. Tommy, Billy, Trini, Zack, Jason, and Kimberly laugh.

Angel Grove High School is hosting the club sign-up at the Youth Center and the auditorium. Trini's volleyball club as become the runaway hit while no one shows any interest in Kimberly's plant club. Kimberly sits at the counter and Ernie listens sympathetically to Kimberly's problems. While Kimberly is away, a Putty disguised as a human, switches cactuses. The Putty replaces Kimberly's cactus with one that has been given a jealously potion. Kimberly walks back to her booth and pricks her finger on the cactus. As Lord Zedd had planned, Kimberly's feelings of jealousy have intensified. Kimberly walks over to Trini's booth and chews her out for hogging all the students. Trini tells Kimberly that is not her fault, and Zack and Billy, who have walked over, are puzzled over Kimberly's behavior. Not satisfied with telling off Trini, Kimberly then gives Bulk and Skull a hard time - not believing people would actually sign up for their club. Skull reveals that they had to offer free lunch as well as trying to find the identities of the Power Rangers. Tommy and Jason, sitting close by, are puzzled by Kimberly's behavior as well. Kimberly walks away and Ernie tells Tommy that maybe he should give her a flower to make her feel better. Tommy and Jason walk over to Kimberly and Tommy tries to give Kimberly the flower, telling her it's rough when you fight with your best friend. Kimberly doesn't accept the flower and gets mad at Tommy as well. She tells Tommy she hates flowers and Trini is not her friend! Kimberly storms out. Later, Trini is just ending her volleyball club when Tommy and Jason walk over. Tommy and Jason ask Trini what happened between her and Kimberly? Trini tells them that Kimberly got upset with her over the clubs. Bulk and Skull and their club walk by and tried to record their voices, although they are convinced that they couldn't possibly be the Power Rangers. Afterwards, Tommy, Jason, and Trini are walking together when Trini admits she's a little worried. Jason's communicator goes off. Jason responds, come in Zordon, we read you. Zordon tells them, Zedd has sent his Bloom of Doom to destroy the planet. You must morph to the city side of Angel Grove park immediately. Tommy states, I'm ready, let's go. Trini protests. Shouldn't you be conserving your powers? Zordon responds, Trini, Tommy understands the danger. The decision to join you must be his. Tommy agrees and states, and I say I'm going with you. Tommy, Jason, and Trini morph. The Rangers arrive at the park at the same time. Bloom of Doom is surprised to see them all together. Green Ranger remarks, yeah, well we're a team. And together, we're going to destroy you. Bloom of Doom replies, we'll see about that. Several of Zedd's Putties appear by Bloom of Doom's side. Bloom of Doom adds, I have some friends too, you know. The Putties charge towards the Rangers. Bloom of Doom laughs. Pink Ranger fights a group of Putties. Black Ranger fights another batch of Putties and quickly destroys two of them. Blue Ranger fights another set of Putties. Blue Ranger kicks several of them. Red Ranger fights a Putty and destroys it. Black Ranger tosses a Putty into a tree. Green Ranger fights a batch of Putties. He kicks several at a time and trips over another one. Pink Ranger lands several powerful kicks on a Putty and it quickly is destroyed. Green Ranger tosses a Putty through the air. Red Ranger fights another Putty. Eventually the Putties are destroyed and the Rangers face down Bloom of Doom. Bloom of Doom releases it's pollen. Black Ranger, Blue Ranger, Red Ranger, and Green Ranger leap out of it's way but it's not enough to escape the pollen. Yellow Ranger asks, what's happening? Red Ranger screams, what is it? It burns! Blue Ranger feels like he's going to bust. Black Ranger shouts, it feels like fire! We've got to stop it somehow! Green Ranger tries to shake off the pollen but he can't, instead it's making him weaker. Yellow Ranger shouts at Bloom of Doom to leave her friends alone! Pink Ranger comments, forget it Trini. I have just the thing to put the wraps on this weed. Pink Ranger pulls out the weapon Alpha had sent her. Pink Ranger gets the weapon to wrap around Bloom of Doom. Bloom of Doom struggles to break free. Yellow Ranger shouts, way to go Kim! Yellow Ranger leaps into the air with her Blade Blaster and strikes Bloom of Doom. Instead of helping, it frees Bloom of Doom. Yellow Ranger tries to strike Bloom of Doom again with her Blade Blaster, but it vanishes. Yellow Ranger is puzzled. What happened? Where did she go? Pink Ranger shouts, Trini, I almost had him! You spoil everything. Pink Ranger leaps through the air with the weapon when Bloom of Doom reappears. Once more she gets the weapon to wrap around Bloom of Doom. Bloom of Doom yanks on the ribbon, pulling Pink Ranger towards her. Pink Ranger lands hard on the walkway. Bloom of Doom asks, how does it feel to be consume with jealousy? Look at me! Gaze deep into my eye! Bloom of Doom laughs as Pink Ranger panics. Wait! What's happening?! I can't think straight. Pink Ranger is teleported to another dimension. Green Ranger screams Kimberly! Green Ranger can't believe they all disappeared. Yellow Ranger states, we got to smash that Bloom of Doom. Black Ranger asks, how can we fight something we can't find? Red Ranger doesn't know and suggests they get back to the Command Center. Tommy, Trini, Zack, Jason, and Billy arrive in the Command Center. Jason asks, what has Zedd done with Kimberly? Zordon replies, Zedd has cast an evil spell and poisoned her with jealousy. He is trying to pit you against each other Rangers. Trini responds, so that's it! Zordon we can't let him do that. We got to help her. Zack asks, where's she now? Zordon replies, in an inter dimensional warp. It will be nearly impossible to penetrate and free her. Tommy responds, we just can't leave her there. Zordon informs them, Alpha is working on a solution. After awhile, Billy walks towards Alpha and asks to look at the calculations. He has an idea. After taking a look, Billy comments, just as I thought. Billy presses a few buttons on the console. Billy tells the others, even though Kimberly is in another dimension, she's still reachable. Trini asks, can you locate her? Billy replies yeah. If you throw your daggers at a 90 degree trajectory course, you'll be able to penetrate the dimension and also break the spell of jealousy. Zordon confirms this information. It is possible. But you must hurry Trini, if she stays in the dimensional warp too long, Kimberly will be lost forever. Tommy wishes Trini good luck. Trini tells the guys, I'm morphin back into action. Trini teleports out of the Command Center. The plan works and Yellow Ranger is able to knock Pink Ranger and Bloom of Doom out of the dimension. Green Ranger, Blue Ranger, Red Ranger, and Black Ranger arrive. Bloom of Doom gets back up and states, maybe you power punks need more pollen? Pink Ranger tells the team, let's not give her the chance. The Rangers assemble the Power Blaster and fire it at Bloom of Doom. Bloom of Doom is hit hard and destroyed. Afterwards, they all return to the Youth Center, where the club sign up is still going on. A group of teen girls surround Kimberly's table at the Youth Center. Kimberly tells them, I'm really sorry about the confusion. Next time I'll call you all personally and let you know where the meetings going to be. The group of teens head off just as Mr. Caplan walks up. Mr. Caplan tells Kimberly, well thank goodness, everyone figured out where to go. Mr. Caplan gives an embarrassed laugh and then admits he accidentally put the wrong location in the school paper. Kimberly tells him, it's okay. My friends didn't give up until they found me. Mr. Caplan gives a big sneeze and walks away. Tommy, Trini, Billy, Zack, and Jason walk over to Kimberly's table. Kimberly asks Trini, will you ever forgive me for being such a brat? Trini replies, of course I will. Our friendship is solid as a rock. Trini and Kimberly hug as Tommy adds, it will take a lot more than Zedd to break up this group. Bulk and Skull enter and Bulk shouts, listen up! We will now expose the Power Rangers' true identities! A crowd gathers. Bulk tells Skull to turn on the tape player. Zack gets nervous. You think you found out who they are? Bulk replies, we'll just play this tape and see if we recognize the voices. Skull tries to play the tape but only strange sounds come out. Skull pulls out the mess inside the recorder and declares, faulty tape. Bulk asks Skull, can't you do anything right? The crowd walks away. Bulk tells the teens, okay it was a dead end this time, but let me tell you, next time we will catch them in action. Indiana Bulk and Army Scout Skull will never give up till they find the truth. Bulk and Skull dramatically walk away. The teens chuckle and Trini states, good luck Bulk. Jason adds, looks like they are going to need all the help they can get.

Miss Appleby gives the class an assignment on writing a 500 word essay on something they are interested in by Friday. A few moments later, Tommy is so deep in thought he doesn't hear Kimberly at first. When Kimberly finally gets his attention, Tommy tells her about the dream he keeps having about losing his powers. Tommy feels like the dreams are trying to tell him that he is going to lose his powers for good. Kimberly doesn't know what to say to make Tommy feel better. After school, at the Juice Bar, Tommy, Kimberly, Jason, and Zack join Billy and Trini at their table. Bulk and Skull walk in with their latest invention - a way to detect who is a Power Ranger. Bulk and Skull get a strong reading and Billy uses his invention to divert the reading on Bulk and Skull's invention. Bulk and Skull's invention takes them to Ernie who does a karate stance before laughing, along with everyone else. Tommy realizes that he has to get started on his homework and leaves.
