Dillon and Ziggy are sitting in the car and Ziggy is still amazed by what Dillon had asked. Ziggy: What do you mean "What's a Power Ranger"? There! Red Ranger was getting ready to strike. Ziggy: That! Blue Ranger was running towards the robot as well. Ziggy: Those! Yellow Ranger was getting her weapon ready. Ziggy and Dillon continue to watch the battle play out before them. Red Ranger: Street Saber Strike! Blue Ranger: Turbo Cannon! Fire! With their weapons, the Rangers had managed to knock Generation 5 Attack Bot onto the ground. Dillon and Ziggy got out of the car and continue to watch as the Rangers defeated the robot.
Inside Venjix's base, Generals Swifter and Crunch were reporting that Generation 5 Attack Bot had gone offline. Venjix was not happy. The Generals quickly pointed out that Corinth was still vulnerable, as the shields were still not at full capacity. Venjix told the Generals to send in the drones. The drones were small flying machines, operated by Grinders. The Drones headed straight for Corinth.
Inside Corinth, Colonel Truman is urging his team to seal the city quickly. Too much time has past for his liking. Vasquez then reports there is an invasion of drones heading their way.
Ziggy notices the drones and points them out to Dillon. Dr. K has contacted the Rangers to warn them of the incoming drones, which the Rangers already see. The drones start their attack. Some of the explosions hit close to Ziggy and Dillon. Ziggy jumps into the car, head first, but Dillon stays put.
Dr. K downloads the zords to the Rangers to help them battle the numerous drones. The Rangers activate the zords and battle the drones. The battle is very intense, and Colonel Truman and Vasquez are concern. Ziggy watches the battle from the window of the car. Ziggy spots the ambush the Grinders are planning for Yellow Ranger and points this out to Dillon. Dillon gets back in the car, struggles to get the car started, and then runs right into the Grinders. Ziggy wanting out the whole time. The car knocks the weapon away from Yellow Ranger and into the sky, where it destroy lots of drones. Red Ranger reports that the Grinders are neutralized in the delta area. The drones soon retreat. Inside Venjix's lair, General Crunch gets excited when they hear the enemies are retreating, until he realizes it is them. Venjix downloads a program that makes Generation 5 Attack Bot giant size. The Rangers form their High Octane Megazord. The Rangers battle Generation 5 and destroy him. After the battle, Yellow Ranger demorphs and thanks Dillon and Ziggy for their help. Several security arrive and grab a hold of Dillon. Ziggy tells them Dillon, the hero of the day, is with him. One guys runs a scan on Dillon and discovers Venjix's circuitry inside Dillon. Ziggy then claims he doesn't know who Dillon is, but they are both taken away.
Dr. K shows Scott, Summer, and Flynn how Venjix's robots are becoming more powerful. They need to become more powerful as well. They need a fourth member, but Scott doesn't there is anyone. Flynn and Scott leave. Summer has an idea. Dillon and Ziggy are taken to separate cells. Dillon is questioned about his level seven circuitry by General Truman. Dillon doesn't remember anything other than he needs gas. When a cup gets knock over during the interview process, General Truman is impress with how fast Dillon catches the cup. Meanwhile in the other cell, Ziggy talks to the guards about his preschool years and his rash. More and more guards gathered in the cell to hear Ziggy talk. But after awhile, they all leave. Ziggy is unaware of this. He is laying on a table, and talks about last seeing his girl on a ship. Summer walks quietly up to Dillon's cell. She stays in the background as General Truman continues to interrogate Dillon. After awhile, Summer walks to the cell and asks General Truman if she can meet with Dillon. General Truman steps out and Summer sits down. Dillon gives her a hard time and Summer gives it right back to him. Dillon then tells her he is telling the truth, he knows nothing about his past. But Summer isn't concern with his past. She wants to know what he wants to do with his future and sets the pocket watch down on the table and leaves. Inside Venjix's lair, Venjix is very angry, but he still has a few tricks up his sleeves. Venjix reveals Tenaha 7 to his generals.
Inside their prison cells, Ziggy finds out that Dillon is planning on escaping. Ziggy wants in, but Dillon doesn't want to bring Ziggy along. Ziggy shows Dillon how he can be useful and then demonstrates his amazing shadow puppets. Ziggy also tells Dillon he knows lots of people that can help them. Just then three prisoners walk towards their cell. The leader of the three, Hector, tells Ziggy he hopes he has his will ready. After threatening Ziggy, the three prisoners continue on their way. Elsewhere, Dr. K is showing Flynn, Summer, and Scott x-rays of Dillon. The x-rays show the circuitry that has been added to Dillon. Flynn isn't impressed, to him that makes Dillon a robot. Dr. K corrects him by telling him he is a human with robot circuitry. Summer believes Dillon would be a great addition to the team. Dr. K tells Scott it is up to him, as he is the team leader. Scott does not see anything impressive about Dillon and walks away. Back at the prison, Ziggy and Dillon are headed to the cafeteria. Ziggy is still trying to convince Dillon to take him along. They enter the cafeteria where several prisoners are. All of them recognize Ziggy. Their leader, Ronin, is surprise Ziggy would return to the city, after what he had pulled. Ronin asks Dillon if he is with him and Dillon replies no. Ziggy is then grabbed and slammed onto the table, where Ronin plans to teach Ziggy respect. Dillon has sat down to eat, but he can hear everything Ronin is telling Ziggy. Ronin gives the example of the Jell-O. There are two kinds, red and green. Ronin wants the red, so no one will touch the red, out of respect for him. Ronin also tells Ziggy he is an outsider who will never fit in. Dillon gets up and deliberately takes some red Jell-O, making enough noise that Ronin is aware of what he is doing. Ronin tells him the green is just fine, and Dillon remarks then he won't mind eating it. Soon a fight breaks out. Dillon battles all the prisoners. At first, Ziggy is nervous and ready to defend himself, but soon realizes, he doesn't have to. Ziggy pulls out a chair and watches Dillon battle and defeat the prisoners. Dillon sits back down and eats. Ziggy can't help gloating as he walks past the prisoners, asking them how do they like him now. Ziggy sits down and wants to thank Dillon, but Dillon doesn't want Ziggy's thanks. Hector and his friends then enter and tell Dillon that he is sitting in his chair. Ziggy tries to warn Hector, but Hector ignores him. Dillon easily defeats the three prisoners and they all go tumbling down the stairs. Scott, Summer, and Flynn had been watching this on the screen. Flynn and Scott have had a change of heart and decide they do need Dillon on their team.
With a heavy chain wrapped around him, Dillon sits in the interrogation cell of the prison. Soon Summer, Flynn, and Scott enter. They want Dillon to become part of their team. Dillon is not so sure. Scott points out it is the only way he is getting out of here. Dillon notes several security guns with their weapons pointed at him. Dillon only has one question - can he pick his color?
