Chip, Vida, and Xander are working at Rock Porium. Chip is holding the scroll of the secret of the Fire Heart, trying to figure it out. Vida: Hey Chip! Any luck with you know what? Chip: Nah. Vida: Ha! I've outsold you by $12.50. Xander tells Vida there is four more minutes. Leelee walks in and Xander goes to help you. Leelee laughs at the zit on Xander's nose. Xander quickly looks in the mirror and can't believe his perfect profile is ruined. Chip tells Xander and Vida that the scroll could be like two halves of one face. Vida tries to keep Chip quiet, but Leelee has already overheard them. Leelee walks away. Toby excitedly walks out of his office. Toby has a solve a difficult puzzle and feels he is now qualified to work for the FBI, or better yet, the Power Rangers.
The teens are at Rootcore. Xander is still examining his zit. Chip puts the scroll to a mirror and the other half is reflected. The teens recognized the mountain on the map. Clare had been working diligently on her perfection potion. Clare is thrilled when beautiful red roses appeared, where once was an ugly plant. Xander comes over and is intrigued by the perfection potion. The teens decide to search the mountain in teams. Before leaving, Xander secretly sprays himself with perfection potion. Meanwhile, in her chambers, Necrolai is trying to figure out the secret of the Fire Heart. Leelee walks in and comments on the dreariness of the place. Necrolai tells Leelee that she could live with her dad, and then reminds Leelee that she had turned her father into a worm. Leelee gets the point. Leelee asks her mom what she is doing. Necrolai tells her about the problem with the scroll. Leelee takes the scroll and tells her mom she can solve the problem. On one mountain side, Vida and Xander are on the same team. As they climb the mountain, Xander is thrilled that his zit is gone. Xander stops and points out his profile to Vida. Vida is a little exasperated with Xander's obsession with his own looks. Vida notices something glinting in the distance. Vida and Xander go closer and discover a little symbol of the Fire Heart. Xander and Vida enter a cave. Vida steps on a lever that dumps slime on her. There is a written puzzle between two doors. Vida tries the first door with success, there is a chest inside. Xander is curious about the second door and opens it to discover a monster. Xander quickly closes the door, but the monster knocks it down. Xander suggests they morph. Xander and Vida morph and the monster tosses them out. Green Ranger and Pink Ranger battle the monster until the monster is defeated. Vida and Xander demorph. Vida hurries inside to get the chest. Xander starts to follow, but stops because of a sharp pain in his arm. Xander checks and is horrified to see a small twig growing out of his arm.
Nick, Chip, and Madison joined Vida and Xander as they carry the chest. Nick explains that they heard an explosion. Madison finds a tiny scroll on the chest. It turns out the chest is another puzzle, but with a time limit. If the teens cannot figure out the puzzle before the time limit is up, the Fire Heart will be destroyed forever. Meanwhile, at the pit, Morticon is furious. The lead Styxoid tells a fellow Styxoid that he has failed. The failed Styxoid is toss down to Morticon where Morticon destroys him.

After numerous puns, Xander reminds them that they are wasting time and need to solve the puzzle. Chip comes up with an idea. Chip and Vida take the puzzle to Toby. Toby is excited and is convinced he can solve the puzzle in less than an hour. Xander walks in, disguise in a coat. Vida smiles as she walks over. Xander reveals that his problem has grown worse.
