The 30th Zeo Serial short aired before a later airing of the episode.

Synopsis[]

Young Adam travels to Korea and meets a wise sage that may lead him to the Zeo Sub-Crystal he seeks. As Billy makes preparations for restoring his friends, the Alien Rangers must deal with Arachnofiend.

Plot[]

Billy, Cestro, and Tideus are busy with their Zeo Crystal Transformer that will restore the Earth to its proper place in time once the Zeo Crystal is reassembled, but Billy lacks a phase modulator and needs to go to Angel Grove University in order to get one, so the two Alien Rangers are left to guard his lab.

Somewhere in the past, Adam has just arrived in Korea, which he recognizes as the place where his grandmother was born. His Zeo Quest requires him to find a wise man, and a local villager tells him of a legendary figure named Kai Ogi who lives in a waterfall.

Cestro and Tideus start feeling dehydrated while waiting for Billy and leave his lab to go search for water. Seeing the opportunity to crush them, Lord Zedd creates Arachnofiend from a spider in Billy's lab while Tenga Warriors chase the Alien Rangers to a local car wash. While the Alien Rangers hydrate, the Tengas get soaped, waxed, and soaked.

Beneath the Command Center, Goldar and Rito Revolto are still lost in the tunnels and are trying to get their bearings, but their attempts to draw a map turns into an impromptu game of Tic-Tac-Toe and nothing gets done.

As he continues his search in Korea, Adam sees an old man following him. Adam tries to tell him that he is on a quest and does not have time for distractions, but the man feels "the spirit of the frog" in the young child and insists that he follow. The child Ranger attempts to ask other villagers about Kai Ogi, but no one can provide an answer. The old man jokes that Adam has a frog in his throat.

At the university, Billy meets with a team of researchers as they prepare to fire a model rocket. The head researcher Dr. Kender is impressed with Billy's interest in science and agrees to give him the phase modulator. He then returns to his lab only to find no Alien Rangers and a hungry Arachnofiend, who webs him up and takes him away.

When Cestro and Tideus return to find webs everywhere, Zordon summons them to the Command Center with the rest of the Alien Rangers and informs them of Billy's situation. Deep underground, the Alien Rangers cautiously traverse the web-covered caverns, unaware that they are being stalked by Arachnofiend. When the monster attacks, the Alien Rangers fight back until Rita and Zedd make it grow. The Battle Borgs prove ineffective, but the Shogun Megazord defeats Archnofiend.

In Korea, a defeated Adam pauses to rest near a waterfall when the old man cryptically tells him that in his haste, he has overlooked his true goal. Adam realizes that the old man is Kai Ogi, and he is rewarded with the Zeo Sub-Crystal as it sits behind the waterfall.

With two Sub-Crystals recovered and Billy's Transformer finished, things begin to look up for the Rangers. Goldar and Rito wandering back to the tunnel entrance, making Goldar lose his temper again.
