Synopsis[]

Billy builds a device that will help the Alien Rangers survive on Earth, but Lord Zedd does not intend to let them linger on so easily.

Plot[]

Billy is building a Molecular Hydro-Atmospheric Generator that will purify the lake to Aquitar standards and give the Aquitar Rangers a reliable source of hydration for what may be an extended mission on Earth. As the young Tommy and Kat sit in the park guarding the prototype, an old lady spots them and asks where their parents are. She nearly wrecks the prototype, but Billy arrives and claims that they are his younger siblings. With her out of the way, Billy has the two Ranger kids sort through his suitcase for parts to build the final version, unaware that Lord Zedd has his eye on the device.

Later, Cestro is working on the device with Billy in the Command Center while the other Ranger kids are at the lake where the other Alien Rangers have just bought out and eaten an entire truck's worth of ice cream out of sheer delight for the taste. When they see Little Bulk and Little Skull fishing and are told that they plan to eat the fish they catch, the Alien Rangers are shocked and disgusted. Using their powers, they give the fishing lines a good yank and send the bullies into the lake. However, this dries them out quick, and so the Ranger kids must escort them to the north side of the lake for some solitude as Billy prepares the device and puts it in the water.

Rito Revolto and Goldar show up to harass them, but the Alien Rangers summon enough strength to defeat them. Zedd and Rita then decide to sabotage Billy's plan by sending the Barbaric Brothers, Erik and Merrick, to pollute the lake while the Alien Rangers are rehydrating. Rito shows up again and uses a force-field to keep them in place as the toxic water courses through their bodies. With the Alien Rangers trapped and dying, the Ranger kids and Billy are forced to act fast and trick the force-field remote out of Rito's hands with a game of tag.

The Alien Rangers escape, but are still weak from the dehydration and poisoning. Nonetheless, they morph and fight on when Zedd makes the Barbaric Brothers grow. Their Battle Borgs are nearly destroyed, but the Aquitar Rangers manage to summon the Shogun Megazord and beat the brothers in one blow.

Billy's device is ruined beyond repair and the Alien Rangers have no choice but to return to Aquitar and rehydrate there. Delphine promises that they will return when Zedd and Rita launch their next attack, but the future still remains uncertain.
