Artist Anonymous is the fourth episode of the second season of Power Rangers Beast Morphers and the twenty-sixth episode overall. It featured Ravi revealing to Commander Shaw about his painting secret.
Synopsis[]
Ravi secretly repaints a local art mural, but a strange artist arrives and claims the work as his own.
Plot[]
In the city, Ravi is pushing a cart and stops by a wall with some graffiti on it, where he paints over the graffiti himself before adding his own mural onto it from a drawing he made. While he is cleaning up, Commander Shaw comes jogging by, unaware that her son made the painting. Ravi lies that he was cleaning up after an unknown artist made the mural and ran off, and Commander Shaw voices her disdain for art again before continuing her jog.
At Grid Battleforce, Ravi is washing the paint off his hands when Nate and Steel come in and see the paint on his hands, where he lies to them and says he was touching up a freshly painted wall at his house. Suddenly, Devon and Zoey call him and tell him to turn to Channel 10. It's Zoey's mom and she is at the scene of his mural as the wall was part of a building scheduled for demolition, and nobody, aside from Devon and Zoey, are aware that Ravi painted it. Ben and Betty try to get a photograph of the mural for their father, with Betty climbing onto Ben's shoulders, but are unsuccessful when Ben steps on a skateboard and crashes into a hot dog wagon, and Betty ends up stuck on a light pole.
Devon and Zoey tell Ravi that they know he was the one who painted this and urge him to get down here to see all the people admiring his art. Nate and Steel are disappointed that Ravi lied to them about painting the mural when they already know he likes to paint. Ravi feels remorseful and admits that lying about his art is becoming a reflex since he's been keeping it a secret for so long. Nate warns Ravi that a lie, no matter the size, isn’t cool, and the latter promises them to never lie to them again. Nate thanks him and tells him to get to his mural.
Outside the building, Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy are sneaking around and find the parking lot entrance, where they find a padlock and infect it the Evox Virus, creating the Robotron, Keytron. Although annoyed by Keytron’s lock-based puns, they tell the new Robotron to get into Grid Battleforce and destroy it from the inside. Using his unlocking powers, Keytron opens the door for the underground parking garage as the Robo-Generals take their leave. Ravi is going to his car when he catches Keytron and calls the Rangers about the security breach in the parking garage before facing the Robotron by himself. He manages to morph into the Blue Ranger and pulls out his Beast-X Blaster, only for Keytron to disable it with his Key Blade and gets knocked down. Fortunately, Nate and Steel arrive to help Ravi and blast him, before they chase him out of the parking lot. The trio fight Keytron with their Beast-X Saber and Striker Sabers and when Devon and Zoey ride on Cruise to join the others, Keytron decides to take his leave and teleports away.
In the Crystal Dimension, Keytron tries to deflect the blame onto Ravi for his failure to break into Grid Battleforce, where Evox scolds him and the Robo-Generals for thinking that breaking into the building would be that simple. Scrozzle says he has a better plan than what the Robo-Generals had in mind. With Ravi’s art secret given to him by Robo-Roxy as she knows his mom doesn't approve from her human memories, Scrozzle decides to introduce Coral Harbor to the mystery artist, revealing that he made explosive paint that he detonates with a remote control. This impresses Evox, as they just need a mystery painter, so Scrozzle decides to use Keytron, and even though it uses up a lot of their Morph-X supply to do so, the Robotron is turned into a human French artist, and Evox sends him to use the explosive paint on the walls of Grid Battleforce so they can storm the place with an army of Tronics, and plans on using his Mayor Daniels disguise to clear the way.
Outside Grid Battleforce, Evox-Mayor Daniels has the paint delivered to Grid Battleforce, and greets the Rangers, where his claim for this project is to make a mural to promote the Global wide Morph-X Tower Network. He then introduces Commander Shaw and the Rangers to Pierre (really Keytron in disguise), claiming that he made the downtown mural earlier, but Shaw gets suspicious when her son’s lie begins to unravel when he hesistates to confirm that he's the artist he chased away. Regardless, Shaw leads Pierre to the wall he’s painting, while Ravi expresses annoyance and distrust that the latter is taking the credit for his mural. However, Ravi is reluctant to tell his mother the truth as she expects him to follow in the Grid Battleforce way, but Nate reminds him that he’s letting her down by lying. The Rangers push Ravi to tell his mom the truth, as he can’t keep lying about his art, and he decides to finally do it. They head down to Pierre’s location, and stop him before he puts the explosive paint on the wall, and Ravi tells the truth to his mother, even showing her the mural drawing. Shaw is understandably displeased that her son lied to her, but as she berates Ravi, Evox-Daniels signals Pierre and his helpers to grab the explosive paint and toss it at the Rangers, only for Devon to notice them and everybody jump out of the way at the last second before Pierre detonates the explosive paint.
Pierre turns back into Keytron while the helpers reveal themselves to be Tronics, and while Commander Shaw leads Evox-Daniels away, the Rangers morph. However, Keytron locks the Rangers' Transporters to prevent them from teleporting any of their weapons in, but Devon remarks that they can still fight without them. As they fight, the Rangers use some trash to help them defend themselves against the Tronics. Back in the Crystal Dimension, a furious Evox turns back into his original form due to being low on Morph-X as he injects more into himself. Scrozzle offers to send in a Alpha Model Gigadrone to destroy the Rangers, even revealing that he can add Gamerdrone's dome projection technology to drain any Morph-X around the area, and Evox allows it. Back at the fight, the Rangers are using their Beast Powers to defeat the Tronics and Nate and Steel are using the explosive paint to their advantage, while Devon is battling Keytron. Keytron is about to charge at him when Commander Shaw blasts at the Robotron with a Beast-X Blaster, before tossing the Beast-X Ultra Blaster to Devon and uses it to destroy Keytron.
With Keytron destroyed, Commander Shaw tells the Rangers that a Gigadrone is about to land in Sector Charlie 3-7, so they run back inside to deploy the Beast-X Ultrazord. Just then, Keydrone lands and projects a dome around the area. As the Rangers enter the dome, the Rangers try to finish the fight in a quick way to preserve their Morph-X levels, only for Keydrone to lock the controls and prevent the entire Ultrazord from moving, before striking it at they continue to lose Morph-X. Fortunately, Cruise discovers that their jet boots are still online, and they use them to lift the Ultrazord into the air and cut power to them to land directly on top of the Gigadrone. That move breaks Keydrone's Key Blade, freeing the Ultrazord’s controls as Devon summons the Cheetah Beast Blaster to finish it off with the Beast-X Ultra Strike.
At Grid Battleforce, Ravi meets with Commander Shaw in the lab and they finally talk, mother to son. Shaw feels disappointed with the fact that Ravi lied to her about his art for so long, where he apologizes for deceiving her and explains that he didn't know what she would say since she was always against art. He was also afraid that she would not accept that he wanted to draw or paint, so he lied to her. Shaw tells Ravi that he was wrong for lying to her, but she admits that she was worse and regrets that her stupid behavior prevented her son from being honest with her. Shaw tells Ravi that she loves him and promises to listen to anything he tells her. Ravi admits to her that art makes him happy, and Shaw promises to support whatever makes him happy, fixing their mother-son relationship once and for all. Then Shaw takes him to the mural so that he can write his name on the mural so the citizens of Coral Harbor will know who painted it, where the crowd applauds him for his work.
Meanwhile, firefighters are trying to rescue Betty who's still stuck on the pole. After being ordered to jump, she does, only to bounce back up onto the pole like a trampoline. The firefighters are shocked to see that she enjoys bouncing up and down repeatedly, and Ben asks to have a turn.

Errors[]
- During the first fight at the parking lot, the shift between American and Sentai footage is noticeably different.
It's very visible that when Ravi is about to morph on his own, his Morpher is not on his wrist.
Notes[]
- This is the first episode in which Commander Shaw is shown out of uniform.
- Scrozzle's concept of explosive paint is similar to the explosive gel tool used by Batman in the Arkham video game series.
- The human Blaze and Roxy do not appear in this episode.
- The surfer that Ravi paints on his mural resembles the Blue Wind Ranger, Tori Hanson from Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
- At the end of this episode, Commander Shaw approves of Ravi's passion, which Smash foreshadowed at the end of "Gorilla Art".
