The teens are at the beach. Dillon and Scott are racing against each other. Ziggy draws a finish line into the sand. Summer and Flynn are watching the race. Ziggy: Now, Summer, I know you probably won't understand the finer points of some of these male bonding rituals, but uh...Summer: Look, I told you the salt air will throw off Scott's nitro mixture by at least 7%. Flynn: Really? Care to double our bet then? Summer: You're on. Flynn and Summer start cheering for their driver. Flynn: Oh, he's got it! Come on man! Dillon and Scott stopped just before the finish line and got out of their cars. Ziggy, Flynn, and Summer are confused by their behavior. Dillon and Scott say nothing as they walk past them. Flynn, Summer, and Ziggy turn around and they see what Dillon and Scott had seen - Tenaya 7. Several Grinders walk out from behind the rocks. Summer, Flynn, Scott, and Ziggy battle the Grinders. Dillon and Tenaya 7 battle each other. During the battle, Scott's car gets a scratch. Scott gets very angry. Scott takes out a container and sprays it at a couple of Grinders. The Grinders are frozen and Ziggy comes up and smashes them. Eventually all the teens morph. The battle continues. Eventually the Grinders are destroyed. Tenaya 7 makes a getaway after knocking Black Ranger to the sand, hard enough to make him go offline. Dillon gets up and the teens head back to their cars. In the distance, Tenaya 7 is standing with the attack bot and watching them. Tenaya 7 reports in to Venjix and tells him the plan worked perfectly. On the back of Dillon's neck, underneath his hair, there is a device blinking red.
That night, Summer is up for a glass of milk. The screen is showing the profiles of Scott and Dillon. Summer drinks her milk and smiles at the images in front of her. Dr. K opens the refrigerator and Summer hears her. Dr. K tells Summer she understands her dilemma. Summer pretends that she has no idea what Dr. K is talking about, but Dr. K is not fooled. Dr. K points out that one is a 9 while the other is a 10. Summer asks Dr. K who she thinks is the 10. Dr. K doesn't answer her question, instead she asks who Summer thinks is a 10. The alarms go off. Summer and Dr. K hurry over to the screens. Ziggy, Flynn, and Scott come running down the stairs and join them. The screens shows the shields are coming down everywhere. Colonel Truman appears on the screen and tells them that the shields are being deactivated from inside the Ranger room. They run into the Ranger room and see Dillon pulling out all the wiring.
Dr. K, Scott, Summer, Ziggy, and Flynn stand for a moment stun as Dillon continues to wreck the wiring in the computers. The four teens rush towards Dillon and try to stop him. Dillon easily fights them off. Dr. K races forward and runs a scan. Dillon is under some kind of control, but Dr. K doesn't know where the signal is coming from. Dillon wrecks Dr. K's scanner. Dillon then knocks Dr. K to the floor. The four teens continue to try and subdue Dillon. Dillon knocks them off easily. At one point, Ziggy is knocked to the floor, next to Dr. K. They glance at each other nervously and then Ziggy races up. Ziggy grabs a hold of Dillon and Dillon doesn't fight back. Ziggy thinks this is because the bond between them is so strong. But the moment doesn't last long and soon Ziggy is knock aside once more. Scott grabs a hold of Dillon and that's when he notices the device on Dillon's neck. Scott is knocked aside. Summer rushes forward and kicks the device off of Dillon. Dillon falls to the floor, and Scott jumps on top of him. Dr. K races over to the computer and gets the shields back in place. Dillon comes to and asks Scott why he is hugging him. Scott quickly gets off. Dillon then asks Dr. K about her slippers.
Inside Venjix's headquarters, Generals Shifter, Crunch, and Tenaya 7 are gathered in Venjix's chambers. A screen has shown them that the shields are back in place. General Shifter tells them the teens had discovered the remote device on Dillon. Venjix demands an explanation from Tenaya 7. Tenaya 7 is not worried. Either Black Ranger joins them or he will be destroyed.
Dillon is strapped down to a table by Dr. K's orders. Dillon asks her if it is for his own protection and Dr. K tells him no, it's for their own protection. Ziggy doesn't understand, the remote device is no longer on Dillon, which had been controlling him. Dr. K pulls up some information and explains to the group that the attack bot had accelerate the upgrade 50 times faster. Black Ranger will become a machine much quicker. Ziggy, Flynn, Summer, and Scott all get frustrated at Dr. K for calling Dillon Black Ranger. Ziggy asks her if there is a reason why she never calls them by their names, Dr. K tells them there is a reason for everything. The four teens begin to think of a way to stop, or at least slow down, the virus. If they could get to the attack bot, they would be able to access the base circuit board. Ziggy comes up with a plan. They could lure the attack bot in by lowering the city's shields. Venjix would think his plan worked and the attack bot would come in. Dr. K is not happy about putting the city at risk for Black Ranger. Summer becomes angry and tells her his name is Dillon and begins loosening the straps. Dr. K tells Summer that now she knows who Summer would refer to as a 10, concerning their earlier conversation. Summer has no reply and Dillon is released. But Dillon agrees with Dr. K. Dillon prepares to leave and is getting into his car. Scott is in his car, parked next to Dillon's. Scott knew that Dillon would try to leave. Dillon doesn't want to put the whole city at risk for him. Scott points out that this is not his decision, he is the team leader. Scott tells Dillon that he is the most stubborn person he knows, next to him. Scott tries to start his car, but there is no gas. Dillon had known that Scott would try to stop him and had emptied his tank earlier. Dillon is feeling smug about outsmarting Scott, but Scott had another plan as well. Scott gets out of his car and tells Dillon that he knew Dillon would try and stop him. Before he knows what has happened, Dillon is handcuffed to Scott. Dillon becomes very angry. Scott has the key and he tosses it away. Summer, Flynn and Ziggy come running into the garage as Dillon threatens to take off with Scott still attached. Scott challenges Dillon to do so. Dillon revs up his car and then moves forward.
Dillon stops his car before yanking Scott off his feet. Dillon turns off his car and gets out of it, slamming the door behind him. Dillon tells Scott that he really hates him. Scott knows this isn't true. Scott turns to Ziggy for the spare key. Ziggy tells them that was the spare key, he had lost the original one in a magic show. Scott is amused, but not Dillon. Apprehensively, Dr. K begins lowering the shields. The Generals report this and believe the plan has worked. Tenaya 7 is feeling very triumph. Venjix instructs her to send in Lighting Bot. Back at the garage, Summer is working as Flynn and Ziggy pass by. Summer asks how the happy couple is and they all laugh. Scott is enjoying himself at Dillon's expense. Scott yanks the chain when Dillon tries to take a bite of his sandwich, causing him to miss. When they play pool, once more, Scott yanks the chain, causing Dillon to miss the shot. Dillon has to stand in the bathroom as Scott takes a shower. That evening they are sitting in their respective cars. Dillon asks Scott why he did it and Scott tells him he doesn't know. Maybe he is a saint. Dillon remarks no one is a saint. Scott also tells Dillon you're welcome. The following morning the alarms go off. Dillon and Scott get out of their cars and the chain causes them to fall onto the floor. Summer, Flynn, and Ziggy race pass them. Ziggy returns and vows to Dillon that no matter what he is returning with the circuit board. Within a few seconds, Ziggy is back and tells Dillon that was a bit dramatic. Ziggy will try very hard to get the circuit board, but if he doesn't egg on his face. Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Green Ranger arrive in the city and face off Lighting Bot and several Grinders. The three Rangers battle the Grinders. Back at the garage, Dillon and Scott pace as Dr. K monitors the situation. The three Rangers have a difficult time battling against the Grinders and Lighting Bot. At one point, Green Ranger has knocked Lighting Bot to the ground, but hesitates hitting him because he does not want to damage the circuit board. This gives Lighting Bot the opportunity to knock Green Ranger through the air. Inside the garage, Dr. K tells Dillon and Scott she knows they are too heroic to stay behind and watch and tells them to go. Dr. K adds that they need to decide which car they are going in. The guys immediately begin yanking the chain, trying to get the other into their car. Dillon and Scott arrive on Ziggy's scooter. They leap into battle and battle the Grinders, using their chain. Dillon and Scott morph, which causes the chain to break. Black Ranger and Red Ranger battle and destroy the Grinders. They go after Lighting Bot and defeat him. Venjix prepares the download. Lighting Bot is now giant size. The zords are downloaded and the Zenith Megazord is formed. The Rangers battle and destroy Lighting Bot. Yellow Ranger finds Lighting Bot on the ground and removes the circuit board.
The teens return to the Ranger room. Summer, Flynn, and Dr. K are working frantically on the circuit board. Suddenly the virus completely takes Dillon over and he begins to fight his friends. At Venjix's base, Tenaya 7 is feeling triumphant. Venjix is pleased and the Generals are thrilled. Summer, Scott, and Ziggy try to hold Dillon back as Flynn continues to work on the circuit board, but it's not working. Flynn needs the base code. Ziggy, Scott, and Summer get tossed around by Dillon. Dr. K knows she has no choice. Dr. K types in the base code, and soon Dillon falls to the floor. When Dillon comes to, he is back to normal. Summer races over and tells them that some how the base code had been typed in. Dr. K tells them she had put in the base code. Dr. K adds that she knows the base code, because she is the one who wrote it. Everything they had gone through is because of her.
