Plot[]
With Ryjack destroyed, Commander Shaw has the Rangers searching the woods for his ship. Devon and Ravi haven't found out and ask what will happen if they don't find the ship. Nate, who's with Steel, points out that they have to find it, as the relics in Ryjack's ship are too dangerous in the wrong hands. Suddenly, Zoey finds the ship in Sector Zulu 8-5 and tells the others, so Commander Shaw orders her to stay put until they arrive. However, one of the technicians inform the Commander that their radar sensors have picked up an unknown bogey heading towards Ryjack’s ship. Commander Shaw tells Zoey to wait for backup, but if someone's heading this way, she decides to head to Ryjack’s ship despite the others telling her to stay put. When Zoey reaches the ship, she tries to go aboard, but an alarm goes off as it sees her as an intruder, and self-destructs itself. Fortunately, Zoey escapes the ship before it blows up.
In the Crystal Dimension, Scrozzle manages to locate Ryjack’s ship as well, only to lose it because it self-destructed. Realizing that the Rangers could have blown it up, Evox orders the Robo-Generals to go the last known coordinates and obtain Ryjack’s relics before the Rangers do. Before leaving, Scrozzle gives them the Reanimizer so they can create new fighters out of the relics they find and teleport there.
Zoey is unconscious from the explosion, when the Robo-Generals arrive at the destroyed ship. In the rubble, Robo-Roxy finds Snide’s sword, remembering that he fought against the Dino Charge Rangers and decide to reanimize him. Excited, Robo-Blaze places the sword in the ground before Robo-Roxy uses the Reanimizer on it, resurrecting Snide back to the living, and introduce themselves as his allies. When Zoey begins to regain consciousness, the villains hide out of her sight. Zoey notices a strange alien she believes to be the intruder Commander Shaw warned her about looking through the wreckage, and notices a nearby Compliance Collar, remembering how Ryjack used it to control Vargoyle. So, she takes it and throws it onto the alien's neck, making it under her control.
The other Rangers arrive and ask what happened, where Zoey tells them that she tried to enter the ship and triggered an alarm that self-destructed the ship. Devon is disappointed that Zoey did not wait for them as the ship is destroyed, when Steel notices the alien and Zoey tells them that he's the intruder the Commander warned them about, so she used the Compliance Collar on him. Zoey orders the alien come to them and he turns around. Suddenly, Ravi and Nate recognize the alien from Ranger History Class as Keeper, the guardian of the Energems and mentor to the Dino Charge Rangers, who came here to retrieve the relics that Ryjack stole. Ravi is mad at Zoey for throwing the Compliance Collar on an ally, but the latter argues that she did not see his face until now and thought he was trying to steal the relics. Nate tells them that they need to get him back to the lab so he can remove the Collar, so Devon leads Keeper to the truck while the others gather the relics up. Ravi finds Lord Zedd's Z-Staff, while Nate and Steel find Goldar's sword and Sledge's blaster. Devon puts Keeper in the truck, but after he closes it, it turns out to be a trap as a Vivix drives off in the truck with Keeper inside!
Devon tells Nate and Steel to find Ryjack's weapons and get them back to Grid Battleforce, while he, Ravi, and Zoey morph chase after the truck to rescue Keeper. Devon is on Cruise trying to reach the truck, but a Vivix tries to blast him, but misses. Ravi and Zoey manage to grab onto the truck, but more Vivix come after them, forcing the Rangers to deal with them as the truck stops in a parking lot. Suddenly, a dimensional portal opens up near the Rangers, and out of it comes Tyler, Chase, Koda, and Ivan, four of the Dino Charge Rangers, which surprises Ravi. Tyler asks Devon where Keeper is as they lost contact with him after he found Ryjack's ship. Devon tells Tyler that Keeper is in the truck, but when the Dino Charge Rangers go to rescue him, they are surrounded by a group of Vivix, Putties, and Triptoids. The two Ranger groups engage the squads of foot-soldiers, but during the fight, the Robo-Generals and Snide teleport to the truck. Snide opens the truck and orders Keeper to come with them, and thanks to the Compliance Collar, he obeys. After defeating the foot-soldiers, Ravi sees that the villains have Keeper, but teleport away before the Rangers have the chance to stop them.
Back in the Crystal Dimension, the Robo-Generals and Snide bring Keeper to Evox, knowing that with the Compliance Collar on him, they can have him tell them all the Dino Charge Rangers' secrets, which they can use to destroy them. Per Evox’s demands, Keeper begins to tell them everything about the Dino Charge Rangers’ secrets, beginning with the story of the Energems.
Back at Grid Battleforce, the Rangers look over all the relics they obtained from Ryjack’s ship, where Ravi asks the Dino Charge Rangers why Keeper was after them. Tyler says that Keeper wanted to make sure nobody evil got their hands on them, but Chase is mad at Zoey for putting a Compliance Collar on the latter, especially when Commander Shaw gave her strict orders to stay put. Although Nate tries to defend Zoey, the latter knows that all of this is her fault, and apologizes to the Dino Charge Rangers for causing all of this. They forgive her, and both Ranger groups agree to work together to save Keeper and stop Evox.
Back in the Crystal Dimension, Keeper tells Evox about how the Dino Charge Rangers created the Spino Zord and were able to defeat Sledge. Pleased that they know the Dino Charge Rangers' secrets, Evox takes Keeper's staff from him and decides to use this newfound knowledge to create a new weapon to defeat the Rangers. However, they need the Energems to do so, but Snide says he could lure the Dino Charge Rangers into a trap with Keeper as bait. Later at Grid Battleforce, Commander Shaw and the Rangers receive a message from Evox, with Snide holding Keeper. Evox claims to the Rangers that Keeper is useless to him, and he will gladly give him back in exchange for Ryjack’s relics. Although the Rangers don't want to give up the relics, Shaw agrees to the deal and Scrozzle will send them the location to meet. Ravi and Nate are worried about giving Evox the relics, but Shaw points out that Keeper's knowledge is more important than the relics, so they need to rescue him. Devon says that after the trade, they need to get the relics back, but Tyler points out that Keeper is their top priority. Zoey promises Tyler and the Dino Charge Rangers that they'll save Keeper.
Both groups of Rangers arrive at the trade-off location with the relics and meet with Snide, Scrozzle, and Keeper. The Rangers drop off the relics, with Scrozzle taking them back with him to the Crystal Dimension. Tyler demands that Snide give them Keeper, but the latter refuses to as he challenges the Rangers to fight him. The two Ranger teams morph, but Commander Shaw tells them that a Gigadrone has teleported near a Morph-X Tower in Sector Bravo 3-6. Tyler tells the Grid Battleforce Rangers go to deal with the Gigadrone and will defeat Snide again. The Dino Charge Rangers ready themselves for a rematch against Snide, who remarks that his odds are already improving. However, Tyler grabs his Dino Com and call in Shelby and Riley for assistance, who arrive through a dimensional portal. The fully formed Dino Charge Rangers fight against Snide, who is still tough as ever, and Tyler goes into T-Rex Super Charge Mode to even the field. As Ivan lands a powerful slash against Snide with his Gold Ptera Saber, the others activate the Dino Victory Charger and fire the Victory Final Strike at Snide. Although he lands in some barrels, Snide angrily ghets up and grabs his weapons, hoping to make the Rangers pay for everything.
Seeing the fight from the Crystal Dimension, Evox is disappointed that Snide is losing and calls him pathetic, but Scrozzle says they can fix that problem with a little more muscle. Scrozzle grabs Sledge’s blaster from the case of relics and uses the Reanimizer to revive the bounty hunter once again. Sledge screams, "It's a bomb!", from the last time he was blown up on the Warrior Dome, and asks Evox and Scrozzle where he is and who they are. Regardless of that, Evox orders Sledge to steal the Energems from the Dino Charge Rangers, which he easily accepts, but he needs his crew, something Scrozzle is more than happy to do so and goes to the crate of relics.
Meanwhile, a Gamma Model Gigadrone teleports into Coral Harbor and uses its magnetic bars to steal Morph-X from the Tower, only the Rangers to form the Beast-X Megazord and the Wrecker Zord Battle Mode to knock it away from the Tower. After Steel blasts the Gigadrone with the Jet Zord, Devon calls for the Cheetah Beast Blaster and the Grid Battleforce Rangers finish it off with the Wrecker Zord’s Bazooka Blast and the Beast-X Megazord’s Beast-X Hyper Strike.
Back at the warehouse, the Dino Charge Rangers continue to overwhelm Snide, only for Sledge and his revived crew (Fury, Wrench, Poisandra, and Curio) to teleport in, much to Koda’s shock as they've defeated them two times before, but Ivan concludes that the third time's the charm. Sledge and his crew attack the Rangers and take them on individually (with Tyler fighting Sledge, Chase fighting Curio, Koda fighting Snide, Riley fighting Poisandra, Shelby fighting Wrench, and Ivan fighting Fury). Although the Rangers do their best, Sledge and his crew overwhelm them one by one while Keeper watches on and can't do anything to help them. Before they can steal the Energems from the Rangets, the Grid Battleforce Rangers arrive and fire a combined Beast Blast at Sledge and his crew, knocking them down. After helping the Dino Charge Rangers get back on their feet, Zoey notices Keeper and Jackrabbit Jump to rescue Keeper. With Sledge and his crew down, both groups of Ranger take the opportunity to retreat. Failing to claim a single Energem along with losing Keeper, Sledge and Snide argue over whose fault this is before they all teleport back to the Crystal Dimension to inform Evox of the news.
At Grid Battleforce, Nate and Zoey are able to remove the Compliance Collar from Keeper, restoring him back to normal. However, both Ranger groups know that Sledge is still alive, and Evox is still around. Ravi asks Keeper if he remembers anything from when he was Evox's prisoner or what they did with his staff, but he has no memory of what happened. Despite that, Zoey promises that the Grid Battleforce Rangers can handle this new threat. The Dino Charge Rangers and Keeper say their goodbyes to each other and to the Grid Battleforce Rangers as they leave to their own dimension. Zoey apologizes to Keeper for throwing the Compliance Collar onto him, but he assures her that she was only trying to do the right thing before teleporting away. After their new friends leave, Commander Shaw reminds them that Evox might have obtained valuable intel from Keeper, and with Ryjack’s relics in his hands, the Rangers must be on their guard.

Errors[]
- The teleport swirls from Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy were switched when them, along with Snide, teleported with Keeper, who was wearing a compliance collar like Vargoyle's at the time because of Zoey.
- It's unknown why Shelby and Riley didn't regroup with the other Rangers back at Grid Battleforce. It's also unknown why they didn't come to the Main Dimension with the other Dino Charge Rangers in the first place.
- It's unknown how Tyler summoned the T-Rex Super Charge Zord in the Main Dimension.
- Snide wielded a shield and an axe-like sword, although he never uses them in Dino Super Charge. This is because his weapons were based off of Geilton (Zeltrax in Power Rangers Dino Thunder) weapons.
- If one looks closely when the Dino Charge Rangers (sans Riley and Shelby), activate their Dino Chargers, the chargers are still in their inactivate modes. In fact, the Rangers activate them again when the morphing sequence starts.
- When Snide says "If you're gonna beg for mercy", his weapons are separate despite not removing them yet. Also, he removes them again when he says "Now's the time".
- During the Megazord fight, Japanese writing can be seen in many scenes.
- The Triptoids are apart of the revived foot-soldiers despite them never being revived by Ryjack's Reanimizer, though obviously the Triptoids revived off-screen.
Notes[]
- This is the first classic-style team-up episode, including all core and sixth Rangers from two different teams, since "Wormhole" in Power Rangers S.P.D.. As such, it is also the first team-up to be between the current Ranger team and the one that preceded the previous team, rather than between the current team and their direct predecessors.
- However, the Ninja Steel Rangers did team up with one representative of the Dino Charge team.
- This is the first team-up since "Clash of the Red Rangers" to not tie into an anniversary.
- This is also the first team up episode to feature the morphing sequences of all the participating Rangers since "Once a Ranger" in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
- This is also the first team-up episode in the Hasbro Era.
- This is the first appearance of a Green Ranger and a Black Ranger since Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel episode, "Dimensions in Danger".
- This is also the first appearance of a Pink Ranger since Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel episode, "The Poisy Show".
- Riley Griffin and Shelby Watkins do not appear unmorphed in this episode or "Grid Connection", as their actors declined to return in person because of other work. They do return for voiceover work.
- Among the weapons from the previous villains seen in Ryjack’s Ship are the following: Lord Zedd's Z Staff, Goldar's sword, Astronema's gauntlet, Psycho Red's data card, Koragg's Wolf Sword, Sledge's blaster gun, Poisandra's lance, Fury's sword, Wrench's axe, Curio's scarf, Snide's sword, Scrapper's claw, one of Gold Digger's torches, Shearfear's scissors, Speedwing's sword, and Brax's sword.
- Ben and Betty do not appear in this episode.
- The Spino Zord is mentioned in this episode.
- Two seasons later, Power Rangers Dino Fury Season 2 would have an episode called “Losers Weepers”, and both these titles form the popular phrase known as “Finders keepers, losers weepers.”
- There is a class called Ranger History which is a class that tells history related to the Power Rangers that Ravi attended.
