In human form, Jetson, calling himself "Jethro", helps cheer Cassie up before she and the other Power Rangers head off to battle not only Mr. Goorific, but also Elgar's repaired Terrorzord. However, the spell begins to wear off, to Jethro's shock.

Plot[]

The Rangers are hanging out by the lake, Cassie is seen playing with her dog Jetson with a frisbee and throws it really far and Jetson catches it with T.J. saying Cassie should sign Jetson up for a pro football team, as T.J. and Ashley get up from their chairs the video zooms in on the cooler showing Divatox's periscope spying on the Rangers.

The scene cuts to bridge of the Space Base with Divatox trying to watch but is annoyed by Elgar who is working on the Terrorzord and calls him in to angrily tell him to work quietly, after Elgar left, Porto introduced Divatox to a new monster named Mr. Goorific who tells her that his goo has the ability to turn anything hit with it to become any animal followed by a demonstration of turning a Piranhatron into a rat, Divatox became slightly impressed and told him not to fail.

The Rangers head to a picnic table where Cassie ties Jetson to the table to make sure he doesn't run away, Mr. Goorific arrives with a school of Piranhatrons which causes people to run and making the Rangers run to where everyone is running from, the Rangers then see Mr. Goorific who introduces himself and begins to fire at the Rangers with his goo.

A fight immediately begins with the Rangers fighting the Piranhatrons with Jetson barking and trying to break loose, Cassie is then held by a Piranhatron and Mr. Goorific comes to use his goo on her but misses and accidentally turns a Piranhatron into a turtle which forces Goorific to run, after Goorific leaves, T.J. asked if everyone was ok and Cassie goes to check on Jetson.

The Rangers are next at the Juice Bar having lunch with Lt. Stone giving Jetson some cheese, Bulk and Skull are at the counter looking for jobs but finding that Pastry Chef is already filled but Bulk realizes that the paper they are looking at is a month old, Cassie then has Jetson get a current newspaper with Bulk and Skull at first joking about Jetson buying a newspaper but are shocked when Jetson brings the paper with the right change, Cassie then leaves with Jetson.

Cassie is sitting on a bench with Jetson wishing that Jetson was a person curious as to what he would say, Mr. Goorific returns to attack cassie and comments that she is alone with Cassie responding that she isn't alone, Jetson begins to run at Goorific to attack him as Goorific fires at Cassie but Jetson is stopped as his leash is snagged by a sprinkler, Cassie morphs and fights Goorific with Goorific firing at her which causes her to fall, Jetson breaks free of the Sprinkler and attacks Goorific who begins to run away straight to a hillside and Jetson pushes Goorific over the hillside which causes him to roll on it but Jetson was also hit by the goo in the process, Cassie runs to try and see if Jetson is ok but can't see him but does see Goorific getting up and running away as he tells her that he will be back, Cassie continues to call Jetson hoping he will come but leaves to try and find him, as she leaves the camera moves down where it finds Jetson's leash and follows the leash where Jetson is unconscious and now a human.

Jetson wakes up moments later and looks around and sees that he has now become a human, he notices that he has no clothes and takes some that is lying on a bench.

Cassie returns to the Juice Bar to tell the other Rangers about what happened, Bulk & Skull then tell her that with their work as detectives they can help find Jetson with the other Rangers saying they will help too.

Carlos is putting up a flier of Jetson and leaves to continue the search, Jetson then goes up to the flier to look at it.

Back at the Juice Bar, Cassie is on the phone hoping someone found him but no luck, Jetson arrives and finds Cassie and introduces himself as Jethro (Knowing that Cassie doesn't know who he really is due to her not seeing what happened.) he shows her his collar and leash which gives Cassie hope and asks him to show her and Justin where he found it.

They arrive at the lake searching for Jetson and see Jethro playing with another dog with Jethro claiming that he was asking the other dogs if they knew about Jetson (Which confuses the two) but Jethro says that the dogs haven't seen Jetson, Cassie thanked Jethro for his help and asked if he needed a lift home but Jethro told her a story that his family is only in Angel Grove for vacation and tells her that he will continue to help look for Jetson.

Cassie and Jethro are putting fliers on cars and Cassie asks him where they should go next with Jethro saying a Veterinarian named Dr. Simon with Cassie saying that he is Jetson's vet which makes her question him about how he knew that name as he is only in Angel Grove on vacation, Jethro begins to panic due to his story starting to fall apart but Bulk & Skull arrive claiming they found Jetson but actually found a Wiener Dog, Cassie tells them that it isn't Jetson but Bulk pulls out a flier from his vest pocket saying that it is Jetson but Cassie looks at the flier and says that it isn't the lost dog flier for Jetson but a flier for a hot dog stand, Jethro then realizes that he recognizes the dog (Who is revealed to be named Elmo) and that he's lost and that he lives over by the High School, Cassie asked how he knew the dog and Jethro claims that he saw him one day playing ball, Cassie and Jethro return Elmo to his owner who is grateful to have him back, Cassie then comments that he is good but wishes he could find Jetson and leaves sad with Jethro trying to talk to her.

Cassie is next seen at a table near the lake holding Jetson's frisbee and watching a boy and his dad play with their dog, Jethro arrives with burgers (With all of his has Extra Extra Cheese) with Cassie surprised at that and asks about it with Jethro claiming that where he comes from that cheese is hard to get and burgers are impossible, Cassie then goes to tell Jethro that she misses Jetson and misses playing with him so Jethro tells her that he will play with her and drags her to the sandy part of the lake and asks her to throw the frisbee to him, Cassie throws the frisbee to him but Jethro throws it back to her and tells her to throw it as hard as she can, she throws it far away and Jethro begins to chase it and catches it which amazes Cassie, Jethro goes back to her and tells her that she should sign him up for a pro football team which makes Cassie feel confused but shakes it off and they go back to eat.

Back on the Space Base Rygog Elgar and Porto are working on the repairs to the Terrorzord with Rygog taking credit for it which upsets Porto due to being the Zords creator.

Cassie and Jethro are returning to the Juice Bar but as Jethro begins to scratch his head he realizes that his left hand has turned back into a paw, seeing this, he covers it and tells Cassie that he will follow her in in a moment as he has to call his dad, as Cassie leaves Jethro looks at both his hands and realizes that he's turning back into a dog and hides his paws in his pocket's and goes inside. Jethro enters the Juice Bar and finds Cassie who introduces him to Carlos and Ashley who ask if he wants to eat with them but Jethro says that he can't as his family are returning home now which upsets Cassie and says that she will miss him, after they hug and say goodbye Jethro leaves to finish changing back into Jetson without anyone looking with Cassie sad, the Communicator rings and the three go to a secluded spot to answer with Alpha telling them that T.J. and Justin are fighting Mr. Goorific and the three morph and go to the battle.

Goorific is fired at by the two and the others arrive to help, Goorific gets up and immediately fires at the Rangers which knocks them down, Cassie goes after Goorific alone to try and take his goo tube but Goorific knocks her down, Goorific proceeds to use his goo on Cassie but is stopped as Jetson now a dog again goes after Gorific to rescue Cassie, Cassie calls Jetson to her and is happy to see that he's ok but the Rangers see that Elgar has arrived in the Terrorzord.

The Rangers immediately summon their Rescuezords and form the Rescue Megazord, a fight breaks out between the two Zords with the battle being a stalemate, Divatox then decides to double the Rangers troubles by making Goorific grow. After turning giant, Goorific immediately attacks the Rescue Megazord with a flying double kick and proceeds to double team the Megazord with the Terrorzord but are immediately stopped by blasts fired by the Blue Senturion and his Robo Racer, the battle then breaks out into a tag-team fight with the Rescue Megazord fighting Goorific and Robo Racer fighting the Terrorzord. Robo Racer tried to land some blows but was no match for the Terrorzord and was continuously punched. Meanwhile the Rescue Megazord gives Goorific a sound beating, Goorific then tries to use his goo on the Megazord but the Rescue Megazord grabbed the tube and fought Goorific over it, the Rescue Megazord then proceeded to use the goo on the Terrorzord which turned the Zord into a camel. The Rescue Megazord then bats Mr. Goorific away and throws away the goo tube, Mr. Goorific tries to attack the Rescue Megazord but was sent flying by a double punch from the Megazord, the Rangers then summon the Artillery Power which destroys Mr. Goorific for good, the Blue Senturion stated that the Rangers had great teamwork with Cassie replying that the Blue Senturion arrived just in time.

At the Juice Bar Bulk & Skull are stating that they have almost found Jetson not knowing that Jetson has already been found, Lt. Stone welcomes Jetson back and gives him some cheese, Cassie then says that Jetson reminds her of Jethro (Not knowing that they were one in the same) but as Cassie listed the facts that made them similar Cassie wondered if they were one in the same she immediately shakes the feeling off.
