Mantor has captured Fran and she screams with terror. Casey is still struggling against the Rinshi, which still have a hold on him. Seeing Fran's terror and helplessness makes Casey angry. Casey is then able to morph. Casey: Jungle Beast! Spirit Unleash! With the strength of the tiger, Jungle Fury Red Ranger. Mantor tosses Fran through the air. Red Ranger leaps up, Red Ranger: Gotcha you. Red Ranger catches her before she falls to the ground. Red Ranger sets Fran down. Red Ranger: Look, get out of the way. Fran nods her head and then takes off. Red Ranger then battles Mantor and the Rinshi. Yellow Ranger and Blue Ranger watch in amazement and are impressed with Red Ranger. Red Ranger defeats Mantor. Camille, lurking in the background, is not happy. Yellow Ranger and Blue Ranger raced up to Red Ranger and they are all pleased. But it's not over. Mantor grows to giant size, using the people's fear. The three Rangers have no idea what to do. A spirit in the sky knocks Mantor over. It is Master Mao. Master Mao teleports the three Rangers out of the area. Camille is upset. Master Mao teleports the three Rangers to another part of the city. The three Rangers demorph. The teens are surprised to see Master Mao. Master Mao tells the spirit of the Pai Zhug can never be destroy, and he would be watching over them. Casey wants to know how Mantor grew to giant size. Master Mao tells them it's an advance level battle technique. Master Mao tells them they must battle at that level. Lily tells Master Mao they would love to, but he has never taught them that technique. Master Mao reminds them they have a new master, he must teach them the technique. Master Mao then vanishes in a stream of light.
Inside Dai Shi's lair, Dai Shi watched as the Rinshi went through their paces. Camille entered the room and knelt before Dai Shi. Camille told Dai Shi she had bad news, Mantor had been defeated. Dai Shi roared his disapproval. Camille was not surprise, she knew he would not be happy about it.
RJ is meditating when Lily, Casey, and Theo raced inside and started talking all at once to RJ. RJ tells them to take a cleansing breath and to start again. The three teens start talking at once once more. RJ then points to one of them at a time. Casey tells him Master Mao came back. Lily tells him that Master Mao saved them from the massive mantis. Theo adds that now Master Mao wants you to teach us how to fight these giant monsters. In the woods Camille has tracked down Mantor and threatens him. Mantor quickly tells Camille that he has a new plan. Mantor plans to bust the dam and flood Ocean Bluff. Camille likes the idea. Back at RJ's Casey, Theo, and Lily tells RJ they cannot defeat the monster without learning the growing technique. RJ tells them they cannot learn the growing technique until they learn their weapons. RJ gives Theo the tonfa. Theo is thrilled as he learned how to master the tonfa in his second year. Theo demonstrates and he is quite good at it. RJ gives Lily the bo. Lily is a pro at the bo and gives an excellent demonstration. RJ gives Casey the nunchuku. Casey tries to show he knows how to use it, but ends up hitting himself instead. Casey admits he has never used them before. Lily tells him you have to be an expert in kung fu in order to use the nunchuku. RJ then tells them until they are up to speed, they can't master the next level. Theo is upset and blames Casey. RJ tells Theo a team is a lot like a stool, you three are the legs, all equal. What happens if the legs are not equal. RJ gives a spinning kick to the stool to that Theo is sitting on. Theo falls to the ground. RJ then tells them, the team falls on it's butt. If the team is not ready, then they are all not ready. Casey is amused until he sees the look on Theo's face. Back in the woods, Camille, in chameleon form, infuses Mantor with more power. Mantor feels amazing and goes to his monster form. Camille tells Mantor let's go, when they are through Ocean Bluff will be back in the ocean.
Inside Jungle Karma Pizza Parlor, RJ is talking to Fran. RJ asks Fran if she has a posse. Fran replies that her books are her posses, she doesn't have any sisters or brothers, and her parents are very busy. Casey, Theo, and Lily are working. Theo and Lily watch as Casey makes pizza with ease. Theo can't understand it. Lily reminds Theo that he wasn't always great at tonfa, and that he once was a cub as well. Theo remembers how hard it had been for him at first and tells Lily that he practice hard and got good at it. Lily tells Theo that you can't practice until you get a great teacher. Theo remembers how he improved, thanks to Master Mao's teaching. RJ tells his crew they have to prepare for the 12:32 lunch crowd. Theo tells RJ he is sorry, but he has to leave with Casey for some training. RJ doesn't know what to do and Fran volunteers to help out. RJ hires Fran. Casey and Theo leave. In the woods, Theo trains Casey on how to use the nunchuku. It's tough for Casey at first, but he gradually gets it. Theo then shows Casey how to use his tiger spirit to add more force to his weapon. Casey becomes much better at nunchuku and the guys understand each other a little better. Elsewhere, Camille and Mantor head over to the dam. Mantor shoots a few blades out, enough to break the dam, and water begins pouring out. Back at the woods, RJ contacts Theo and Casey to let them know about the flooding in Ocean Bluff. Inside his apartment, RJ watches the news report and knows the Rinshi are behind it. In the city, Theo and Casey meet up with Lily. The three jump to the top of the building to get out of the way of the flooding streets. To make matters worse, giant Mantor is roaming the streets. The three teens race along and run into Camille and the Rinshi. Camille introduces herself and tells them she is here to make sure they don't get in the way. Special orders from Dai Shi.
Casey, Theo, and Lily morph. Camille comments on the pretty colors and then sends in the Rinshi. The Power Rangers battled the Rinshi. The Rangers used their new weapons. Blue Ranger uses his Jungle Tonfa. Yellow Ranger her Jungle Bo and Red Ranger his Jungle chucks. The three Rangers successfully defeat the Rinshi, but giant Mantor proves more difficult. The Rangers simply cannot defeat him by being on the ground. RJ contacts the Rangers and tells them they have the ability to use the growing technique and they can combine their animal spirits. the Rangers are thrilled. The animal spirits are summon and the Jungle Pride Megazord is formed. RJ is surprise and happy that the Rangers were able to use the growing technique. The Rangers, in their Megazord, battle Mantor. Camille is watching when she gets a strange feeling in her throat. Camille has no choice but to open her mouth and Flit flies out. Camille is not too happy to see Flit. Flit watches the battle and narrates it. The Rangers destroy Mantor. Camille, annoyed, swallows Flit once more. Camille is not looking forward to telling Dai Shi about the loss.
Inside Jungle Karma Pizza Parlor, Casey, Fran, Theo, Lily, and RJ are working. Fran is busy mopping the floor, getting ready for the next rush. Casey is trying to teach Theo how to flip pizza dough. Lily tells RJ that she is glad that the two of them are getting along. Lily adds that Camille and her army will not give up. RJ is not worried about Camille, it's Dai Shi he's worried about. Meanwhile, Camille kneels before the back of Dai Shi and gives him the bad news. Camille adds the three teens are more powerful than they thought. Dai Shi tells Camille they don't know the meaning of power, but they soon will when he unleashes his fury. Dai Shi turns around and faces Camille, revealing that he has taken possession of Jarrod. Dai Shi roars.
