Ziggy is still surprised that Doctor K is a woman. So when Doctor K has Ziggy try and use his teleportation ability, things don't exactly go as planned, leaving him in an embarrassing way. Doctor K assumes this is not the first test that Ziggy has failed in his life.

Ziggy remembers back to when he failed his drivers test when he was trying to become a member of the Scorpion Cartel before Venjix's attack. Failing his driver's test five times did not help with his acceptance into the cartel.

Ziggy tries to convince Doctor K that they can be friends but the Doctor says no because she doesn't like Ziggy. When the team learns of an Attack Bot attacking the city's computer banks, they hurry to the Attack Bot's location.

Doctor K informs them that, in order to take down the Magnet Bot, the Rangers will have to use Ranger Green's Teleportation Ability. Ziggy says he can do it and the others rush to distract the monster. The Bot magnetizes the Rangers' Nitro Blasters and begins pulling them toward him. The Rangers manage to morph their blasters to sword mode and use the Attack Bot's pull to hit him with the swords. Ziggy then uses his teleportation ability but disappears.

Ziggy does manage to teleport himself but not where he wanted to. Ziggy has ended up in one of the city's bank vaults leading him to being arrested again.

Back in prison again, Ziggy tries to explain to Summer, Dillon and Colonel Truman that he's not a criminal, he's just incompetent. But Colonel Truman doesn't quite believe him.

Ziggy remembers working for the Scorpion Cartel, gathering money from various businesses in Corinth City with Benny. Ziggy and Benny's stops include a Jungle Karma Pizza and an orphanage. Once inside, Ziggy learns that the orphanage was borrowing money so they could get medial supplies for the kids who are sick with Gamma Sickness.

While Ziggy is in prison, Summer and Dillon go to Fresno Bob to find out why he and the other four Cartels want Ziggy "ghosted." It seems that all five Cartels of Corinth came together to this one deal and Ziggy was put in charge of driving the truck. However, according to Fresno Bob, Ziggy decided to take the money for himself.

Since Ziggy won't tell his side of the story, Doctor K passes her judgement and orders Colonel Truman to take the Green Ranger Morpher from Ziggy. Summer and Dillon get a call for help from Scott and Flynn. They've found the Magnet Bot in a Junk Yard. They're forced to leave Ziggy in prison.

Yellow and Black show up to help their comrades. The Magnet Bot tries to hotwire the gates to escape but the Rangers aren't done fighting yet. The Rangers use the Road Blaster to take the Attack Bot down.

The Attack Bot grows as usual. The Rangers call the Zords and form the High Octane Megazord but before the Rangers can use the Super Saber on him, the Magnet Bot uses his power to take the weapon and use it against the Rangers.

Back at the base, Benny has showed up. He tells Doctor K that Fresno Bob and the Cartels have Ziggy and plan to make an example out of him. He then starts to tell the real story of what happen with Ziggy and the truck.

When Ziggy found out the truck was full of Medical Supplies, he took it to the orphanage and gave everything to them. He couldn't tell anyone what he did because he knew the Cartels would go after the orphanage. After that, Benny helped Ziggy escape from Corinth.

And so Ziggy finds himself at the Cartels' base surrounded by all five Cartels. He still refuses to tell any of them why he did it. Before anyone can lay a hand on Ziggy, Doctor K shows up with her untested weapon and takes care of the mobsters. Once outside, Doctor K gives Ziggy back his Morpher and tells him he's got work to do.

Things are going badly for the Rangers as the Attack Bot has the upper hand with their saber. The Black and Green Rangers show up for backup support. The Rangers then combine the High Octane Megazord with the Green Ranger's Zord. With their new attack power, they destroy the Magnet Bot.

Back at the base, Ziggy is glad that he and Doctor K are friends now though Doctor K still refuses to see things that way. And when Ziggy tries to teleport again, we see that he still has some learning to do.
