Monkey Business is the sixteenth episode of Power Rangers Ninja Steel.
Synopsis[]
Calvin and Hayley decide to run for office, but are thrown into discord by a monster capable of recording their voices and capture their power stars .
Plot[]
The episode begins with Hayley being upset with Calvin for being late to school, but she forgives him. While they were talking, Phonepanzee was hiding and recording their voices. Once he's done, he speaks into a Buzzcam on how he is going to use the Rangers' voices against them. The audience in the Warrior Dome roars with cheer.
The Rangers have arrived at the school, where it is revealed that Calvin and Hayley are both running for class president against Victor. Brody and Sarah help Calvin with his campaign while Preston and Levi help Hayley with hers. Meanwhile, Phonepanzee was recording everyone's voices. He prepares to leave, but the Rangers spot him. They give chase and Phonepanzee summons backup. He begins confusing the Rangers using the voices that he recorded before escaping.
Back at the school, Hayley and Calvin begin running their campaigns, using several tactics. While they were running, Victor starts a food fight and both Hayley and Calvin are blamed for starting it. This gives Victor and Monty an idea for something mischievous.
Phonepanzee used the voices he's recorded to trick Calvin, Brody, and Sarah into coming into a convenience store so they can capture them and their Ninja Power Stars. Outside, Preston and Hayley are running to the plaza when suddenly they figure out the truth when Phonepanzee phones Levi using Hayley's voice even though Hayley was standing right in front of him.
Hayley and Levi take care of Phonepanzee while Preston snuck inside to rescue the others. Together, they take down the monster, but Cosmo Royale Gigantifies him. The now gigantic Phonepanzee uses his Super Sonic boom attack to disrupt the Zords' frequencies, but Hayley uses her Kodiak Zord to overpower the Sonic Boom. They then defeat him using the Ninja Steel Megazord and Bull Rider Megazord.
Back at school, it's revealed that Victor ended up winning the election, even though his water balloon prank backfired against him.

Errors[]
- When Hayley attempted to trap Phonepanzee with her Ninja Earth Attack from her Element Star, it was actually her White Ninja Power Star.
- Phonepanzee had a recording of Levi’s voice, despite Levi not speaking again after the monster began recording.
- Akihiro "Yuji" Noguchi was incorrectly credited as the “2nd Unit Director 2nd Unit Director”.
- Once again, Levi referred to his rapid-fire attack as the Rodeo Rapid Blast.
- The Power Stars were not in the Morphers during the Hyper Strike.
- It is rather weird how Hayley was able to get a hot air balloon in order to get people to vote for her. What is even weirder is where she got it from.
- Some of the shots during the food fight are repeated, after the commercial break.
- Hayley assumes that Phonepanzee is Brody before having heard him say anything. Since he was not directly calling from Brody's phone, she should not have any idea who was calling without them saying something first. This is further proven an error because every other Ranger waits until Phonepanzee says something before they further address him by any name.
- When Brody and Sarah were walking tied up, their legs weren’t tied but then they were.
Notes[]
- This episode shares its name with the namesake album of the band The Black-Eyed Peas and also shares its name with a song in Dance Dance Revolution 2013 by Kors K.
- Galvanax, Madame Odius, and Redbot do not appear in this episode.
- Brody's ringtone is the Go Go Power Rangers tune.
- Cosmo Royale says "Yes! Make my monkey grow. Gigantify!", a reference to Rita Repulsa's infamous phrase: "Magic Wand! Make My Monster Grow!".
- Hayley and Calvin - a White Ranger and their love interest - running against each other for class president and the villains increasing the resulting strife to their advantage is very similar to Tommy and Kimberly in "Best Man for the Job".
