Ziggy had been instructed to come to the Ranger room. When he enters, he sees no one else is around. Ziggy begins playing with one of the weapons, pretending to fire it. Dr. K Please don't touch that. Dr. K appears above the computer monitors. Dr. K: It's a sonar sound wave blasting cannon, and it's untested. Ziggy gently places the cannon back. Dr. K: It is critical that I use this training time to access your ability and evaluate what, if any, use you can be to Project Ranger as Ranger Operator Series Green. Dr. K had sat back down and Ziggy slowly made his way to her table as she talked. Dr. K: Why are you staring at me? Ziggy: I thought you'd be a dude. Dr. K: Excuse me? Ziggy: You know, with the whole K screen and the electronic voice I was...I would have laid odds you were a dude. Dr. K dismiss what he says and is ready for the training. Ziggy dons his suit and the first part of the training is learning teleportation. Ziggy dons his helmet and is ready. Green Ranger begins and feels different. He is exuberant and asks Dr. K if she has seen. Dr. K has seen more than enough. Ziggy had only teleported his suit, he is standing with only his helmet and underwear on. Dr. K is confident this is not the first time Ziggy has failed a test and Ziggy is embarrassed.
It also brings back a painful memories for Ziggy. The mention of a failing a test, makes Ziggy remember the fifth time he took his driving test. He had crashed into another car. Ziggy was confident that he has passed the written portion of the test, but it was not enough.
After failing, he had returned to Fresno Bob, wanting to work with Scorpion cartel. Fresno Bob was not so sure, since Ziggy couldn't even passed a driving test. The building began to shake. The TV screen showed numerous Grinders and the announcer inform the audience that the Venjix virus was taking over and to head for Corinth city.
Ziggy returns to the present and tries to state his case to Dr. K, telling her he knows he was not her first choice. Dr. K points out that he wasn't chosen at all. Ziggy lists areas of improvement, and Dr. K adds some, to which Ziggy adds that he has a big heart. Ziggy wants Dr. K to give him a chance and asks why they can't be friends. Dr. K tells him it's because she doesn't like him. The alarm goes off. Flynn walks over to the screen, expecting to see the K emblem. Ziggy nudges Flynn and Flynn realizes Dr. K is standing with them and tells her he is just use to seeing her on screen. Dr. K steps forward and Ziggy asks who thought Dr. K was a dude, Flynn almost raises his hand. The rest of the teens join them at the screen. There is trouble in the city. A robot is downloading the computer banks. The teens take off.
The Rangers arrive in the city and faced the latest robot, Magnetron. Meanwhile, Dr. K contacts the Rangers. Dr. K informs them that she blocking the transmission Magnetron is sending. Magnetron is attempting to send the shield codes to Venjix. Green Ranger must teleport behind Magnetron and knock him out. Green Ranger is confident he can do it. The rest of the Rangers move towards Magnetron, with their weapons drawn. Magnetron tries to pull them in and the Rangers fight against it. Green Ranger is having trouble teleporting and suddenly he is gone.
Red Ranger pulls out his Street Saber. The four Rangers suddenly go flying towards Magnetron and knocked him down. Magnetron takes off. The four Rangers let Dr. K know that Magnetron has taken off. They also are missing Ranger Green. Ziggy, unsuited, finds himself in a dark room. Ziggy has no idea where he is and starts calling out and searching for a way out. The security guards open the vault door and Ziggy is standing with a sack of money. The security guards apprehend Ziggy, even though Ziggy is protesting that it's not what it looks like. Ziggy is taken back to jail and is in the interrogation cell with Colonel Truman, Dillon, and Summer. Dr. K is on the laptop. Ziggy explains that it had been an accident - he couldn't get back in the vault if he tried. Ziggy tells them he is simply incompetent, not a thief. Colonel Truman asks Dr. K if she can vouch for him and Dr. K vouches for the incompetent part. Colonel Truman then tells Ziggy that they know he had come in with Fresno Bob and his cartel. This brings more memories back to Ziggy. His time with the Scorpion cartel. How he had trained with Benny. The time they had gone to Jungle Karma Pizza and got the money they were owe. Then Ziggy, with Benny waiting outside, was sent to the orphanage to collect their money. Ziggy pounded on the door and tried to act tough, but the nurse smiled when she saw him and let him in. Ziggy asked where the kids where. The nurse informed Ziggy that they were all sick with the gamma illness. Ziggy took a look and all the kids were sick. The nurse didn't know what they were going to do, as they had already gone into debt buying medicine off the black market. Ziggy is brought back to the present by Colonel Truman. Colonel Truman wants to know what Ziggy had done to get all the cartels upset with him. Ziggy tells them nothing. Dillon and Summer go see Fresno, wanting to know what had happened. Fresno Bob tells them there was a major deal going down. It was so big, all the cartels were involved. All Ziggy had to do was drive the truck. Fresno Bob tells them Ziggy had gotten greedy and taken off with the truck. This information is brought back to the interrogation cell and that is enough for Dr. K. Dr. K wants Ziggy's morpher and removal from the team. Dillon protests, but there is no choice, as Ziggy doesn't tell them anything. Ziggy reluctantly removes his morpher. Red Ranger and Blue Ranger then contact them. They have found Magnetron.
Blue Ranger and Red Ranger battle Magnetron and several of the Grinders. They are soon contacting them again, as they really need help. Summer and Dillon get ready to leave. Dillon stops and asks about Ziggy. Colonel Truman tells him they will keep an eye on Ziggy until they get to the bottom of what is going on. Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger join in the battle against Magnetron and the Grinders. Magnetron knocks the four Rangers so hard they hit the ground and demorph. Magnetron and the Grinders leave. Meanwhile, Ziggy is staring out of cell, when behind him the door opens. Ziggy hears a tray set down and asks what is for dinner. The two men tell Ziggy he is, they are from the Scorpion cartel. Back in the city, Summer, Flynn, Dillon, and Scott chase after Magnetron and the Grinders. The four teens battle the Grinders. In the midst of this, Scott spots Magnetron trying to open the city's gates. The four teens morph. Back at the Ranger room, Dr. K is hard at work, trying to help the Rangers in their battle. Dr. K hears a knock and checks the screen. It is not anyone she knows. The guy tells her he is Benny, used to work with Ziggy, and really needs to talk to her. At first, Dr. K doesn't want to hear it, she is busy trying to save mankind, but Benny is insistent. Since Dr. K never goes outside, she lets Benny in. Outside, the four Rangers continue their battle against Magnetron and the Grinders. Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, and Blue Ranger use the Road Blaster on Magnetron and defeat him. Venjix begins the download and Magnetron is back and giant size. Black Ranger continues to battle the Grinders as Blue Ranger, Red Ranger, and Yellow Ranger form the High Octane Megazord. The Rangers battle Magnetron. During the battle, Magnetron grabs the Megazord's weapon, and soon the Rangers are in trouble. Back at headquarters, Benny is playing with sonic cannon when Dr. K asks him to put it down. Benny gives Dr. K the missing pieces of what had happened when Ziggy took the truck. The truck had been filled with medical supplies and Ziggy took it straight to the orphanage. Not wanting the cartels to go after the orphanage or the kids, Ziggy never told them what he had done. Benny had helped Ziggy escape the city, he doesn't know why Ziggy came back. Benny warns Dr. K that Ziggy is in big trouble. The cartel has him, and Fresno Bob plans on making an example of Ziggy.
Ziggy is surrounded by all five of the cartels inside the building of the race track. Fresno Bob asks Ziggy why he did it. Ziggy will never tell him, but states he will do it again. Fresno Bob threatens Ziggy that he will never do anything again. Suddenly there is a cloak figure in the room. The figure reveals itself to be Dr. K. Dr. K has the sonar sound wave blasting cannon. Ziggy jumps out of the way as Dr. K uses it. Several of the men are now only dressed in their underpants. When Dr. K threatens the rest, they all take off, except for Fresno Bob. Fresno Bob wants to know what it is that she wants. Dr. K states she wants him (Ziggy). Ziggy happily joins Dr. K and they leave the building. Once outside Dr. K gives Ziggy his morpher and he is reinstated. Elsewhere, Black Ranger continues to battle the Grinders. Black Ranger is surprise to hear Green Ranger over the morpher and that he is on the way. The rest of the Rangers are still struggling in their battle against Magnetron. Soon Black Ranger and Green Ranger zords are in battle, helping the Megazord. Then the green series attack zord attaches to the Megazord. With the additional zord, the Rangers destroy Magnetron. After the battle, Ziggy is back in the Ranger room. Ziggy wants Dr. K to admit that they are friends, which Dr. K refuses. All Ziggy is to her is equipment. Ziggy activates his helmet and then points out that Dr. K had gone outside to help him, which meant they are friends. Green Ranger tries to activate his teleportation and Dr. K sends him to the ceiling of the Ranger room, where he is stuck. Dr. K adds that since it is a doom city, it doesn't count.
