When Kira gets accepted for an internship on The Funky Fisherman's Cartoon Cavalcade, Elsa gets an idea to kidnap Marty the Mackerel for her evil scheme. Meanwhile, Trent and Zeltrax battle for second in command.

Plot[]

Kira has just been accepted for an internship on The Funky Fisherman's Cartoon Cavalcade. Cassidy is upset that she didn't get the internship. Kira discovers Devin got the other internship, but they are not too happy with their jobs. The Funky Fisherman appears to be friendly on his show, but in person, he's a real jerk.

Elsa, Zeltrax, and Trent are watching the show on the screen. Elsa plans to capture Marty the Mackerel and make a monster. Trent scoffs at the idea, saying it's the 'dumbest idea she had yet'. Zeltrax defends her and tells Trent to watch his tongue as Trent, who is itching to fight, tells Zeltrax to make him. Elsa warns both of them to get along, as Mesogog isn't pleased, threatening to put them all in the punishment chamber. While Elsa leaves to capture Marty the Mackerel for the Geno Randomizer, Zeltrax reminds Trent that while he may be Anton Mercer's son, he's still new to Mesogog's team and should know his place. But Trent doesn't like his place; he wants to be second-in-command, which is Zeltrax's place, and challenges him for it.

Elsa and the Tyrannodrones raid the Funky Fisherman set. Kira is ready to morph but first she must get Devin to leave. When Devin leaves, Kira morphs but she does not realize this is all being taped. Elsa mistakenly zaps the Funky Fisherman into a TV set and kidnaps Marty the Mackerel. Meanwhile, Trent and Zeltrax meet on the beach to their duel and the winner gets the title of second-in-command. Trent morphs in order to take on Zeltrax. Into the Geno Randomizer, Marty is transformed into the Mad Mackerel.

The Rangers take the TV with the Funky Fisherman to Hayley at the Dino Lab, in hopes that she can help. Mad Mackerel uses his lures to kidnap people in the city--including Cassidy and Devin, just when the former realized the Yellow Ranger's fight was recorded in the TV studio. Mad Mackerel proves to be quite a challenge for the Power Rangers with his fishing rod and projectiles.

Meanwhile, Trent's Drago Morpher overloads. Trent is forced to demorph and fend off Zeltrax's attacks.

Back at the Lab, the Rangers reprimand the Funky Fisherman for his constant assaults on Marty and Kira asks if he even remembers what friendship means anymore. Hayley gives Tommy a device to free the Funky Fisherman from the TV set.

The Rangers battle Mad Mackerel, and Tommy uses the device to deflect Mad Mackerel's beam at the TV set. The Funky Fisherman is set free from the TV set. The Rangers are also able to free Mad Mackerel's captives. The Power Rangers blast Mad Mackerel with the Z-Rex Blaster.

The Thundersaurus Megazord battles Mad Mackerel and destroys the Geno Randomizer's configuration. Marty the Mackerel is returned to normal and reunited with the Funky Fisherman, who now thinks more nicely of him.

Trent finally defeats Zeltrax and claims his place as second-in-command, leaving Zeltrax to be referred as 'number three.' 

The Funky Fisherman makes good on his promise to be nicer and not only compliments Kira , but he also gives Marty a group of grouper balloon animals and they Happy Fish Dance away from the studio as the Rangers watch and laugh.

Devin gets the tape of the Yellow Ranger but before he has a chance to view it, the tape gets wrecked and so Kira's identity is safe...

Notes[]

  • From this episode onwards, Trent's voice when morphed as the White Dino Ranger is no longer deepened. This foreshadows his redemption in the following episode.
  • This is the last episode that Elsa has her original look.
  • When the Rangers take Funky Fisherman inside their base, Kira says that people act so different in real life than on TV. The first time she seen that was with Nikki Valentina from the episode "Ocean Alert".
  • When Mad Mackerel becomes large, he quotes the famous fish line from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace: "There's always a bigger fish."
  • Marty the Mackerel breaks the fourth wall in this episode. He takes notice to the setup in Mesagog's lab, and ask the T-Drones who designed their suits.
