The Rangers received a transmission from Ryan warning them of Queen Bansheera's plans.  During the transmission Ryan is captured and taken to the Queen's cavern.  After much debate, Carter goes to the Queen's cavern in an attempt to save Ryan.  Meanwhile, Kelsey, Joel, Chad, and Dana have their hands full when their own megazord, operated by Jinxter, begins to destroyed the Aquabase.  Captain Mitchell goes into shock and Miss Fairweather takes charge.  Joel, Chad, Dana and Kelsey, along with Miss Fairweather, quickly get the crew to safety.  When the base is emptied they realize that Captain Mitchell did not leave.  They return for Captain Mitchell, and now all of them in danger.  Chad, Dana, Kelsey, Joel, Miss Fairweather, and Captain Mitchell are now trapped in the Aquabase.  The windows are cracking and water is slowly seeping in.
