Gem & Gemma lead Summer, Dillon, Flynn, Scott, and Ziggy over to a screen. Gem: Okay, we still haven't found Gemma: Venjix's hidden palace. Gem: But here are some other known targets Gemma: That could lead us to the bad guys' lair. Gem: We wanna make them all go Gemma: boom! Gem & Gemma: Bye-bye! Gem & Gemma tell the rest the place is a factory where humans are forced to make Grinders. Gem & Gemma know this, because they were held prisoners there themselves. Summer wants to rescue the humans. Scott agrees, but wants a plan first. Gem & Gemma decide while Scott comes up with a plan, they will make some of their goopy stuff to drop on the building.
Dillon is sitting by himself. He takes out his pocket watch, unlocks it and lets the music play. Summer comes up and asks him if he knows the tune. Dillon tells her very well. The alarm goes off. Dr. K hurries over to the screen, along with Dillon, Summer, Flynn, Scott, and Ziggy. An attack bot has made it into the city via a garbage chute. Dr. K is a little surprise that it is a ball of yarn. Flynn starts joking around that they need their cat zord and Ziggy adds how about their knitting needles zord. The two get into a small argument over the fact that the zord would have to be animal base. Scott gets them to stop and they all take off.
Five of the Rangers arrive at the site, where the ball of yarn was spotted. They find lots of garbage, but no yarn. After a few moments, they can hear whistling. It is Tenaya 7. Generals Crunch and Shifter are there as well. Tenaya 7 has a surprise for the Rangers. An attack bot design not to destroy the city, but the Rangers. The attack bot goes after Green Ranger first. Four of the Rangers battle the attack bot. Black Ranger battles Tenaya 7.
Dr. K monitors the battle and cautions the Rangers to conserve their energy. Dr. K continues to observe and advises Yellow Right that the attack bot has a weak defense section in the lower right area.
Yellow Ranger goes forth and attacks Saw Bot in the area Dr. K had informed her, but it doesn't work. Dr. K instructs Black Ranger to break off his battle with Tenaya 7 and help Yellow Ranger. Black Ranger does so. Dr. K soon realizes that Saw Bot is learning the Rangers' moves. The five Rangers are knock to the ground. Tenaya 7 with Generals Shifter and Crunch, announce that the Rangers are about to be destroyed. Instead Tenaya 7 and Generals Crunch and Shifter are knocked off their feet by Gold Ranger and Silver Ranger. Tenaya 7 is furious and decides to make a dramatic exit. The two Rangers run over to the rest of the Rangers, who are getting up on their feet. Red Ranger checks in with Dr. K, as Saw Bot is gone as well. Dr. K tells them Saw Bot has learned their moves and will definitely be back.
Gem & Gemma are working on their goop. Ziggy thinks they are making pancakes and takes a taste. Gem & Gemma tell him it's detonator putty. Ziggy quickly spits it out. Dillon makes a joke, which Gemma & Gem think is funny. Dillon is going up the stairs when he recognizes the tune Gem & Gemma are humming. Dillon comes back down the stairs and asks them where they had learned the tune. Gem & Gemma tell him when they were being held prisoners at the factory. Dillon takes out his pocket watch, which plays the same tune. Scott and Summer join in as Dillon asks Gem & Gemma more about their time at the factory. Gem & Gemma told him they had learned the tune from a girl in the next cell. They never saw what she looked like, but told him the prisoner was very nice. Dillon asks for a name, Gem & Gemma tell him that no one used their real names there. Dillon remembers the person he was suppose to protect was his sister and she was blind. Gem & Gemma confirm this. Dillon is ready to take off and Scott stops him. Dr. K walks in and reminds Dillon about his last set of memories - how they were fake. Dillon tells her his pocket watch is real, Gem & Gemma is real, his sister is real. Scott tells him they will go and find his sister, after they come up with a plan. Dillon storms away and Ziggy watches him, knowing what Dillon is up to. Scott has a good idea as well. Scott enlists Flynn's help to remove the spark plus from Dillon's car. Flynn doesn't really like the idea. Suddenly Dillon's car roars away. Scott is ready to go after Dillon, but Flynn has bad news for him - Dillon has taken the spark plugs for their cars out. Dillon races out into the waste land, and dumps the spark plugs on the way out. Ziggy is with Dillon as they make their way to the factory. Ziggy tries to bring up how far they have come since they first met, which Dillon disputes each point Ziggy makes. Dillon pulls over and stops the car. Ziggy pulls out the map that Gem & Gemma made. The map is very colorful, but hard to make out what is suppose to be what. Suddenly an explosion takes place by their car, and there are several Grinders coming towards them. Ziggy and Dillon jump out of their car and begin battling the Grinders. Several Grinders soon have Dillon in a hold. Ziggy is knocked off his feet by an explosion.
A Grinder on a motorcycle heads towards the fallen Ziggy. Suddenly a figure appears, also heading towards Ziggy. The figures leaps knocks down the Grinder off the bike. Dillon recognizes Summer as she gets back on the bike and destroys several Grinders. Ziggy and Dillon run over to Summer as she gets off thebike. Summer has figured out how to read Gem's & Gemma's map and points them in the right direction. Summer also claims the front seat. Meanwhile, back at the garage, Dr. K has a butterfly shape note from Gem & Gemma, that she reads to Scott. The note states that Gem & Gemma have taken off as well. Scott can't believe more people from his team has gone AWOL. Scott asks Flynn, who is making a smoothie, if he plans on taking off and Flynn tells him no, he is good. The alarms go off. Dr. K, Scott, and Flynn hurry over to the screen. Saw Bot is back and inside the city's perimeters. Scott and Flynn race out. Back in the waste land, Summer, Dillon, and Ziggy have located the factory. They spy on the factory from their hiding place and everything Gem & Gemma have told them is confirmed. Summer quickly puts together a plan on how to get inside, disguise themselves as the prisoners. Dillon, Ziggy, and Summer managed to get to outside of the factory and find discarded uniforms. They quickly put them on and then managed to blend in with the rest of the prisoners. Once inside, they notice several Grinders guarding a door. They assume it is an important room. Ziggy suggests they create a distraction, and soon realizes he is to be the distraction. Summer and Dillon caution Ziggy to be subtle. Summer and Dillon make their way to the door, as Ziggy has distracted the Grinders by tossing a part and creating a bit of noise. Dillon and Summer enter the room and find a console. It has information on all the prisoners. The type is very fast and Summer can't read it, but Dillon can. Dillon scans through it quickly. Unfortunately, Ziggy ends up creating more noise than he intended and the intruder alarms go off, just as Dillon spots information about a blind prisoner. Summer tells a reluctant Dillon they have to leave.
Several Grinders enter the room. Dillon and Summer battle and destroy the Grinders. They leave the room, and find yet more Grinders. Dillon and Summer battle them, but soon find themselves surrounded by them. Summer plans to take out as many Grinders as she can. Dillon likes her style. Suddenly a voice calls out the intruders are leaving and there are shadows on the walls. The Grinders take off. Summer and Dillon are stunned. Ziggy walks up and tells them shadow puppets get them every time. Summer, Dillon, and Ziggy leave the factory and race across the waste land. Ziggy has trouble getting his uniform off, falls to the ground, and calls out to his friends. Dillon and Summer race over and help Ziggy up. When they reach the car, Summer calls the front seat once more. In the car, Summer starts trying to get the radio to work. They soon hear Dr. K giving advice to Blue Ranger and Red Ranger, who are in battle. They race to get back to Corinth. In the city, Red Ranger and Blue Ranger are having a difficult time against Saw Bot. Gold Ranger and Silver Ranger arrive and battle Saw Bot as well. Silver Ranger and Gold Ranger defeat Saw Bot and he goes flying through the air. Ziggy, Summer, and Dillon arrive in Corinth. They immediately morph. Venjix prepares the download and Saw Bot is giant size. Green Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger join the rest of the Rangers. The Zenith Megazord is formed. The five Rangers battle Saw Bot. Gold Ranger and Silver Ranger leap into their zords. Black Ranger instructs them to distract Saw Bot, which they do. The Rangers then destroy Saw Bot. The group returns to the garage in high spirits. Scott tells Dillon that he can't leave whenever he wants - there are rules for a reason. Dillon is still blown away by the fact that he has a sister, and Scott softens his attitude, as he understands. Summer draws everyone's attention to the screen. The factory is not only building Grinders. Dr. K informs them that Venjix is building a doomsday machine.
