Plot[]

Bulk and Skull are at the Juice Bar about to play pinball using the Wishing Coin they obtained in the last episode but after putting the coin in the machine doesn't work and the two hit it a little to make it work but the machine begins to go haywire as smoke starts to fume out of it and the coin slot panel opens up and wiring inside it starts to fall out, Jerome is on the phone talking to someone and notices what's happening and goes over and unplugs the machine to stop it, he then takes the wish coin out and hands it back to Bulk and Skull asking what the put in the pinball machine, before Bulk could answer Jerome hands them a piece of paper with an address telling them that a woman named Martha wants to hire them to work at her Nursery Skull asks if it's a baby nursery but Jerome tells them that it's a plant nursery.

On Divatox's Space Base, Porto introduces the monster that will help find the Wish Coin claiming that it is his most evil monster of all with Divatox jumping in excitement, the Monster then shows himself as Wild Weeder with Divatox's excitement changed to disappointment and scoffs at the idea of Wild Weeder being able to find the Coin, Porto then tells her that Wild Weeder is perfect for the job with his Seed's powers of persuasion Divatox then tells Wild Weeder that he will find the coin or else with Wild Weeder teleporting out with Blue Senturion assisting him.

On earth the Blue Senturion sees people that are perfect for the plan and stops them and Wild Weeder comes in and throws his seeds at the people which turns them into Diva-Drones that begin to search for the coin with Wild Weeder and the Blue Senturion continuing on to find more people to make into Diva-Drones to find the coin.

Elsewhere T.J. and Cassie are in the city searching for the coin, T.J. calls the others at the Command Center saying they searched and haven't found anything yet, Carlos responds saying they haven't found anything either Alpha then says that they need to keep looking as the only way to turn the Blue Senturion back to normal was to find the wishing coin and use it to wish him back to normal, T.J. and Cassie continue their search but then notice the Blue Senturion and Wild Weeder attacking some people and turning them into more Diva-Drones, T.J. and Cassie Morph. All five Rangers then proceed to stop the two, Blue Senturion then summon a school of Piranhatrons and a battle breaks out with the Blue Senturion charging and striking at the Rangers one at a time, during the fight T.J. takes on some Piranhatrons and goes after Wild Weeder and tries to take his seeds, meanwhile Justin and Cassie are holding down Blue Senturion trying to snap him out of it but with no luck and are both knocked away, Blue Senturion then goes after T.J. and pulls him off Wild Weeder then both proceed to attack him at the same time, Blue Senturion then fires numerous times at the Rangers then Blue Senturion Wild Weeder and the Piranhatrons escape while the Rangers were down. As the Rangers got up and notice they got away, they go to the people turned into Diva-Drones and try to wake them up but with no luck with Cassie saying their completely hypnotized, the Rangers know they will need the Blue Senturion's help to stop Wild Weeder but they will need to find the coin first with wish the Blue Senturion back.

At the Plant Nursery, Martha greets Bulk and Skull and tells them how to do the job, saying they will shovel cow manure and plant the seeds which grosses out the two, Martha then hands Bulk the shovel telling them to start working as she leaves Bulk screaming indisgust from the manure. As Martha walks past some bushes she sees Wild Weeder who proceeds to turn her into another Diva-Drone and orders to search for the coin.

At a set up campsite, Blue Senturion and Elgar are looking through all the coins that the Diva-Drones found with none of them being it.

Justin and Carlos are at the Youth Center telling Alpha they searched that far with Alpha saying to keep looking, they then notice the Pinball Machine that Bulk and Skull wrecked with the wishing coin and ask Jerome what happened, when Jerome told them that Bulk and Skull put the coin in it Justin asked what kind of coin it was with Jerome describing it as the wishing coin they were looking for, Carlos then asks if he knew where they were with Jerome saying yes if they haven't been fired yet.

Back at the Plant Nursery, Bulk and Skull are leaning on a drink machine exhausted from the work and decide to try using the coin on the drink machine, before Bulk could put the coin in the machine a Diva-Drone grabs him by the wrist and tries to grab it but Bulk pulled away and the duo backed away in fear of the surrounding Diva-Drones.

On the Space Base, Divatox sees from her periscope that Bulk and Skull has the coin and calls on Elgar (Who scares her on accident) to tell the Wild Weeder.

Back at the Plant Nursery, Bulk and Skull look and see they are completely surrounded, Wild Weeder and the Blue Senturion teleport in telling the two to hand the coin over, the duo then proceed to try and defend themselves with Wild Weeder mocking them and the Rangers come in hiding behind a shrub seeing that Bulk and Skull do have the coin and decide to Morph. The Rangers then jump in to stop Wild Weeder and the Blue Senturion while Bulk and Skull run, Blue Senturion then summons a school of Piranhatrons and a fight breaks out with the Rangers knocking down the Piranhatrons one-by-one, Wild Weeder then tells the Blue Senturion to keep the Rangers busy while he works on a plan he has and then runs off, Blue Senturion then attacks the Rangers and after knocking down the Cassie Teleports out, the Rangers then decide to go find Bulk and Skull to get the wishing coin to turn Blue Senturion back.

The Rangers are driving in the city on Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster looking for either Bulk and Skull or Wild Weeder, they found Wild Weeder watering some flowers, the Rangers get ready for a fight but Wild Weeder throws some seeds at them but the seeds missed them but they notice the seeds have coveres Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster and vines and flowers begin to cover the cars and Mutant Bees begin to swarm the cars, the Rangers try to get the flowers off the cars to keep the Mutant Bees away but the Mutant Bee's fire at the Rangers, the Rangers then hide on a train track and as the Mutant Bees prepare for another attack Cassie and Ashley take out their Turbo Navigator's in Defender Mode and fired at all but one of the Mutant Bees destroying them, seeing this Wild Weeder became enraged and blasted the Rangers knocking them down, the Blue Senturion then came in ready to fight the Rangers with Wild Weeder taking a seat to let the Blue Senturion fight, the Blue Senturion then summons the Robo Racer which has also turned evil and attacks the Rangers by trying to stomp on them.

Meanwhile in the city, Bulk and Skull are being chased by the Diva-Drones and hide behind some potted plants losing the Diva-Drones, after the coast was clear Bulk and Skull realize that their coin was a wishing coin and decide to try and make a wish, while trying to make a wish the two notice more Diva-Drones that have spotted them and begin to run again.

The Blue Senturion and his Robo Racer attack the Rangers again using the Synergizer Blaster, the Rangers then summon the Rescuezords and use them in High Stance mode. A battle begins between the Rescuezords and the Robo Racer, at first the Robo Racer batted the Rescuezords away easily but then the Rescuezords decide to gang up on the Robo Racer and first surround the Robo racer and hit it one at a time which begins to weaken the Robo Racer and exhaust the Blue Senturion, being exhausted from the battle the Blue Senturion has the Robo Racer rest on a nearby building to try and recuperate. As Bulk and Skull are running they stop in a construction area and see the Robo Racer and the Rescuezords and decide to use some flags to signal the Rangers, Justin sees the two and goes down to try and get the coin back, Bulk willingly gives Justin the coin and asks if it was a real wishing coin with Justin saying that it was, disgruntled about this fact the two decide to go before they decide to change their minds with Justin thanking the two. Justin wishes the Blue Senturion back to normal (despite him wanting to wish for his dad to be back) and the Blue Senturion and the Robo Racer are both turned back to good and the Rangers welcome him back.

Seeing this Divatox decides to fire Torpedoes at both Wild Weeder and his surviving Mutant Bee making them grow, a battle then breaks out between the two sides with Robo Racer fighting Wild Weeder and the Rescuezords fighting the Mutant Bee. At first the Robo Racer blocked some blows from Wild Weeder but was struck by a headbutt from him then Wild Weeder tied Robo racer up with vines shocked the Robo Racer with electricity through the vines. The Rescuezords tried to fight but the Mutant Bee was too fast and struck the Rescuezords all at once, the Rangers then proceeded to form the Rescue Megazord, Wild Weeder and his Mutant Bee gang up on the Robo Racer but the Rescue Megazord saves Robo Racer by blasting Wild Weeder with it's laser pistols and ripping the vines off the Robo Racer, Wild Weeder then commands his Mutant Bee to attack both Zords but the Robo Racer uses it's arm blades to strike at the Mutant Bee destroying it in the process. The Rangers then summon the Artillery Power for the Rescue Megazord and fire at Wild Weeder destroying him in the process, with Wild Weeders destruction everyone turned into a Diva-Drone turned back to normal.

At the wishing well from the last episode, Carlos finds Justin there and asks if he's gonna make another wish with Justin saying in an upset voice that they never come true while throwing the coin, Carlos goes and picks up the coin and tells Justin never to throw away your wishes and to never give up on them, just then Carlos notices something and tells Justin to look behind him and sees his Dad, Justin runs to his dad in excitement and hugs him his dad tells him he got a new job this time in Angel Grove and is here to stay, Justin then says that his wish finally came true with his dad saying the same thing.
