Plot[]
At Pegasus Garage, Natsumi is repairing a truck as Kyosuke picks up the phone for a "Mr. Yaokatsu", asking about the state of his truck. Kyosuke states they have 15 more minutes and it will be finished on time as Natsumi confirms that it's finished and the male states he'll be right over. Kyosuke goes into the truck but Yoko states he forgot something, stating that she wants to come with. As the duo drive off, the male states that this isn't a good time for Yoko to come with since it has to be to him by 3PM, but Yoko states she has to get to the bank before it closes; Kyosuke asks which bank making the female worry as she pulls out a directory and tells Kyosuke to suddenly turn left, making him swerve the truck until Yoko adjusts the map and tells him to turn right, leading to a confusing drive where Yoko keeps switching the direction of the driver confusing him until she admits she has no idea where she's going leading to the duo to crash into Signalman's Kobaan Base! The officer asks Kyosuke if he knows what he's just damaged as he tries to apologize but Signalman chases to arrest the driver as Yoko hides away from the officer worried about what she's done.
Later, Kyosuke finally returns the damaged truck to the garage as Yoko tries but fails to apologize to Natsumi; Yoko offers to take her out to dinner but Natsumi admits she's embarrassed that she works with a co-worker who can't navigate; Minoru and Naoki states that it's about her lack of direction. Natsumi calls Yoko an embarrassment as Yoko worries she's being too harsh and starts crying; Minoru tells her to calm down while Natsumi tells her to stop "fake crying", which Yoko does.
On the Baribarian, the Bowzock are watching a performance by Zonnette in the BB Saloon. Instructor Ritchihiker is seen enjoying the performance, but Gynamo and Zelmoda approach him stating they pay the instructor a somewhat decent salary as a consultant and that he shouldn't be carefree listening to Zonnette singing incomprehensible songs! Ritchihiker explains that to figure out why the Bowzock lose to the Carranger, he has to ponder while being carefree listening to incomprehensible songs; when Zelmoda asks why, Ritchihiker tries to figure out why until he makes up an excuse that the Bowzock are infected by the "space plague", shocking them (while a humanoid representing the plague appears to visualize it) and making Zelmoda wonder how to deal with it. Ritchihiker offers an "exorcism" by capturing the Carranger and offering them to the space plague to make it leave them alone! Zelmoda states that if they could, they would have already; but Ritchihiker states the Bowzock can do anything they can set their mind to, giving Gynamo courage to have this handled by Bowzock's best exorcist: AA Abanba, who appears as they make a wine glass float towards them while shocking Ritchihiker that there is no one there! Gynamo tells AA Abanba to capture the Carranger to offer to the space plague which it confirms as it appears before Ritchihiker scaring him before vanishing and heading to Earth.
On Earth, Mr. Yaokatsu complains about the Pegasus garage failing to get his truck back to him on time as he carries his produce on a wagon instead. AA Abanba decides to eat as it turns invisible and steals an apple, eating it while invisible before appearing scaring the produce salesman.
At the garage, Yoko keeps trying to apologize to Natsumi; she wonders if Yoko is telling the truth which she says she is; Natsumi accepts under the condition that Yoko figures out how to improve her sense of direction, which she states she will. Dappu informs the Bowzock have appeared, forcing the team to head out to face it driving off in Pegasus Thunder and Dragon Cruiser. AA Abanba appears in a vision that Yoko can see, forcing Kyosuke to ask her for directions as it disappears and reappears to force them to chase it, forcing Red Racer into Pink Racer's bad directions as she panics and forces Pegasus Thunder to crash into Dragon Cruiser throwing all the Carranger out! AA Abanba floats away forcing the males to chase it; Yellow Racer yells at Yoko again for causing the same mistake, she tells her to not worry about it while the male Carranger end up finding AA Abanba as it starts tossing them about while invisible, knocking them all to the ground! The trio are tossed into a pillar of smoke and hit a trap capturing them in a cage as the female Carranger try to reach them but are held back due to it's invisibility power to prevent capture. AA Abanba reappears to look at it's "lively captives" until realizing two aren't there; Minoru states they were fired which the Gorotsuki accepts as it wraps a sheet around their cage and vanishes with them into thin air!
At the base, Dappu complains at the situation as Yoko blames herself for her mistake. Natsumi tells her to stop and instead figure a way to save them; Yoko suggests she wouldn't have made the mistake if Pegasus Thunder had a GPS; Dappu wonders what a GPS is as Natsumi explains until Yoko realizes they can make a GPS that's also a weapon to track an invisible Gorotsuki and give good direction. Natsumi doubts it but Yoko tells her it may be difficult but she thinks the three can work together to make it work!
Elsewhere, the male Carranger are tied up to a rocket; Zelmoda tells them they're lucky to travel to space via this as AA Abanba decides to start the space plague ceremony. The Gorotsuki begins a ceremony with Wumpers to sacrifice the humans to the "space plague". Meanwhile at the garage, Yoko, Natsumi and Dappu work together on the "GPS weapon" concept; Natsumi is surprised that an idea like this could work and compliments Yoko's confidence as she states this is the only way to save the males. They figure a way to attach the new GPS to the Auto Punisher as the ceremony continues to sacrifice the males to the "space plague". As the GPS is finished, Natsumi turns it on but no response ends up occurring, surprising them. No one knows why it doesn't work and how it doesn't even after all their work as Yoko yells at it to work for them to rescue their teammates, her tears dropping on the GPS as it activates the device!
At the sacrifice site, AA Abanba stops the prayer as they light the "space sacrifice rocket", Zelmoda telling them this is their path to the space plague! However, Pink Racer throws her ViBlade saving the males from the fuse and shocking the Gorotsuki who claimed they were fired! AA Abanba turns invisible as Yellow Racer activate the "Navic Com" and tells Pink Racer the exorcist is on her right, allowing them to hit it as they free the males from the rocket. AA Abanba flies up and fires lasers while invisible, but Yoko sees a reading and uses the Auto Blaster to shoot him down. The girls pride their ability to see him as the Gorotsuki runs away invisible and Zelmoda forces the Wumpers to the team to no avail. As Kyosuke wonders where AA Abanba is, the girls show the GPS to find him, turning it into a gun mode as they search him down and Yellow Racer shoots a "Navic Shot" firing it through the city, passing both Mr Yaokatsu and a complaining Signalman fixing his Kobaan Base as the Gorotsuki hides in a field before being hit down and the Carranger pursuing. AA Abanba tries to attack but Yoko notices an attack towards Red Racer 45 Degrees behind him, which he uses to knock the Gorotsuki down! It vanishes again as Natsumi suggests fusing the Navic Shot and Auto Punisher, allowing them to use the Navic Blaster to knock AA Abanba down. The Gorotsuki congratulates the team while eating an Imocho imo youkan to grow, making the team join together into RV Robo. Sirender soon appears as Signalman tells the Carranger they can't defeat the Bowzock without his permission, giving AA Abanba the means to vanish in the distraction and attack Sirender! Natsumi tells them to leave it to them as Pink Racer sets up the Navic Com, telling the team to attack from the left, then behind, then constantly keeping up with the moves before Signalman decides to attack it with his Siren Vulcan, destroying the staff and opening AA Abanba to the Gekiso Cut finishing him off.
Later, the females return Mr. Yaokatsu's truck to him, apologizing as he states it will be alright. The producer seller offers them both watermelon or apples, making Yoko worry which she wants as she decides on a cantaloupe, shocking them and making Natsumi see her as useless.
