Synopsis[]
Theo's multitasking ends up making more of a mess of things because he doesn't fully concentrate on what he does. His new way of life becomes dangerous on the battlefield against Bai Lai and Carden. Master Swoop teaches Theo the techniques of the Bat in order to help him fully focus his energy. With a Zen balanced mind, Theo finds he is more effective in the things he does.
Plot[]
Theo is sitting in a booth at Jungle Karma Pizza, filling the cheese shakers, stamping napkins, and reading a book, all in the same go. Lily walks up to Theo. Lily takes one of the cheese shakers and tells Theo they are filled with salt. Just then, several customers take a bite of their pizzas and they are not happy, as Theo didn't realize that he filled all of the cheese shakers with salt. Fran races to the tables to see why no one likes their food. Theo decides this is a good time for him to go upstairs.
Inside Dai Shi's lair, Carnisoar is training Dai Shi, who is in his Lion armor. Carnisoar and Dai Shi battle. Camille is hidden and watching the battle. Carnisoar defeats Dai Shi, who falls to the floor and loses his armor. Carnisoar is about to punish Dai Shi when Camille races forward to protect him. Dai Shi is distracted by Camille. Carnisoar is furious at Camille's interference, and tells Dai Shi that he needs to fill with hate in order to defeat him and Dai Shi is not ready yet. Dai Shi gets up and joins Camille as Carnisoar summons Bai Lai and Carden, his bodyguards. Carnisoar wants Bai Lai and Carden to scare the citizens in order to create a vortex that will suck the city up.
Theo enters the apartment and is amused by Casey and RJ. Casey tells Theo they are meditating, as it helps them focus. Theo says that he doesn't need mediation, claiming he can do three things at once, and all before the lunch rush. RJ tells Theo he forgot to shut the refrigerator when he was closing last night and all the perishables perished. RJ knows the guys have a lot to contend with, he just wants them to focus on one thing at a time. The alarm goes off, so Casey and Theo leave, grabbing Lily on the way.
Carden and Bai Lai are attacking the city. The fears of the citizens starts the beginning of the vortex. The Rangers arrive and battle Carden and Bai Lai. The battle is watched by a mysterious man in a long black coat. Casey and Lily battle Bai Lai as Theo battles Carden. During the battle, despite their protests, Theo leaves Carden to help battle Bai Lai. This results in the Rangers being knocked to the ground.
Carden and Bai Lai grow to giant size; in retaliation, the Rangers quickly form their Jungle Pride Megazord. Camille and Flit come to watch. Flit is silent for once, and Camille hopes that the Rangers win, for once. But even with the Jungle Mace, the Rangers are defeated. Carden and Bai Lai fly away in victory. The mysterious man also flies away.
Lily, Casey, and Theo hurry into the apartment. They ask RJ what the flying creatures were. RJ tells them they are Bai Lai and Carden. The teens want to know how to fight them. Theo is about to leave, saying he needs to work on the sauce, but Lily reminds Theo they need him here. There is a sudden movement in the apartment. The mysterious man from earlier is hanging upside down in their apartment. He then flies into a straight position, then floats down to the ground, landing on his feet. Casey, Theo, and Lily are ready to tackle him, but RJ stops them, telling the teens this is one of his former and favorite Masters, Master Swoop (who is blind, which is why he always wears black sunglasses, even indoors). Despite being blind, Master Swoop seems to have some sort of ESP powers and doesn't appreciate Theo waving his hand in front of his face. RJ and Master Swoop have the teens leave. After they are gone, Master Swoop confirms with RJ that they need to do something with Theo, as he is not focused.
Master Swoop takes Theo to the woods for some training. Master Swoop wants Theo to concentrate on one thing at a time. Theo is proud of being able to accomplish many tasks at the same time and is not concerned with this task.
Meanwhile, Bai Lai and Carden are back in Ocean Bluff. They attack the city. RJ, Casey and Lily see the destruction on one of RJ's many TVs. RJ tells them they need to battle without Theo. Theo is still training with Master Swoop. Lily hopes Theo's training goes fast, as she and Casey take off.
They battle Bai Lai and Carden, but it is a difficult battle for the Rangers and the vortex continues to grow. Back in the woods, Theo is worried about his friends in battle. Theo wants Master Swoop to get on with the training, so he can help his friends. Master Swoop shows Theo what he wants him to accomplish. Master Swoop uses his fan and then floats above the lake, leaving Theo in disbelief.
Casey and Lily continue their battle with Bai Lai and Carden, who still have the upper hand. Elsewhere, Theo has decided to go ahead and try to accomplish what Master Swoop wants him to do. But despite everything he does, Theo cannot fly into the air like Master Swoop, after multiple attempts. Master Swoop tells Theo to clear his mind. Theo concentrates and he is soon flying over the lake. Theo is thrilled with his victory and can't wait to help his friends. As soon as he mentions helping his friends, Theo's concentration is broken and he falls into the water.
In the city, Casey and Lily continue to battle Bai Lai and Carden, and hope that Theo will arrive soon. Back at the lake, Theo tells Master Swoop as long as he can remember he has always done three things at once. It was what his parents, teachers, and basically everyone in his life expected from him. Theo doesn't think he can change who he is and doesn't think the superhero life is for him. Master Swoop tells Theo he doesn't have to change who he is, and he is definitely a superhero. Master Swoop just wants Theo to be present and focus in the moment, saying that "Life is a series of obstacles. It's not a question of can we overcome them, but how". Theo tries once more. Theo and Master Swoop train, and soon, Theo's mind is clear and focused. Master Swoop and Theo float effortlessly over the lake.
In the city, Casey and Lily are knocked to the ground. Bai Lai and Carden are about to strike, when Theo arrives and stops them. Blue Ranger has the Jungle Fans and uses it against Bai Lai and Carden with great success. Bai Lai and Carden are pleased that the vortex is ready and Carnisoar will rule. Theo flies up into the sky to stop them and battles them once more. Casey and Lily watch and are impressed with their friend.
Bai Lai and Carden grow to giant size. The Rangers form their Megazord. Master Swoop is in the city and he watches. As the Rangers battle, Master Swoop contacts Theo and tells him to use the Bat Spirit. Blue Ranger tells the rest of the Rangers and soon the Bat Spirit destroys the vortex with a laser missile attack and combines with the Megazord to form the Jungle Pride Megazord with Bat Power, attaching to its back and giving it a new helmet and a pair of wings. The Megazord can fly now and pursues Bai Lai and Carden in its battle, destroying Bai Lai and badly wounding Carden. Carden digs himself out of the rubble, vowing revenge on those who had destroyed Bai Lai.
Meanwhile, Lily, Casey, and Master Swoop enter the apartment. They see RJ and ask him where Theo is. Master Swoop wants to say goodbye. Theo then floats down from the ceiling; he had been meditating and tells them it clears the mind and helps one to stay focused. Master Swoop tells Theo how proud he is of him. Theo is pleased. Master Swoop tells Theo not to forget to make the sauce, roll the dough, and save the world. Theo is a little dazed by all the demands and starts to walk away, until he realizes what Master Swoop is doing. Master Swoop grins and tells him "got you". Theo laughs.
