Steel learns that Nate and Zoey have feelings for each other and tries to bring them together, despite the strict Grid Battleforce rules that forbid relationships between Power Rangers.
Plot[]
Late in the night at Grid Battleforce, Nate shows Ben and Betty the new weapon he just finished building: the Beast-X King Spin Saber. Betty wants to try it out, which Nate reluctantly allows and tells her to start spinning it. She spins the Saber pretty well, until she loses control as the momentum from spinning it lifts her into the air like a helicopter. Ben tries to keep her down to the ground, only get lifted into the air himself, until they crash down on the ground into a pile of barrels. They offer to put the Spin Saber in the Transport Case. Afterwards, Steel comes in to ask Nate for help fixing the stabilizers on the Jet Zord’s Scarab Mode, but the latter wants to do it tomorrow as he is tired from working on the Spin Saber. Then, Zoey comes in with the diagnostics on the Chopper Zord’s controls, but despite telling Steel that he was tired, Nate tells Zoey that he'll triple check her systems tonight. Steel is confused by this, until he realizes that Nate likes Zoey in a special way, only for her to stammer and try to run off. However, an issue of Glitz Magazine slides out of her backpack, which Steel grabs, forcing her to admit to him that she and Nate both have feelings for each other, which Steel finds awesome. However, because of the Grid Battleforce rule that's against Rangers dating each other, Zoey and Nate have been unable to go forward with their relationship. Steel calls it a silly rule, but Zoey and Nate are unwilling to break it and promises not to tell Devon and Ravi.
The next day in the city, a morphed Robo-Roxy meets with Evox and hands him a canister of Morph-X, using it to power himself in order to activate his Mayor Daniels disguise. Just after Evox transforms, Zoey comes by and sees the two, only for Evox-Daniels to claim that Robo-Roxy is trying to kidnap him. Zoey morphs onto the Yellow Ranger to fight against Robo-Roxy, but struggles until she calls for her Beast-X Visor and activates her Beast-X Mode. Handling herself a little better, Zoey pushes Robo-Roxy back with a Jackrabbit Spin Strike, forcing the Robo-General to teleport away for repairs. In order to keep up the charade, Evox-Daniels thanks Zoey for protecting him, but she is confused as to why Robo-Roxy was after him.
Back at Grid Battleforce, Zoey brings Evox-Daniels to the lab and informs Commander Shaw and the other Rangers about the supposed kidnap attempt. Nate implants Evox-Daniels with a microchip tracker so they could find him on the off-chance Evox captures him, but Devon gets concerned when his father snaps at Nate for implanting the chip into his body. In addition, Commander Shaw plans to have two of the Rangers act as Evox-Daniels’ undercover bodyguards, and Steel volunteers Zoey and Nate. Evox-Daniels reluctantly agrees, but tells the two to keep their distance as he has a meeting with the Canadian Ambassador. Afterwards, Evox-Daniels leaves the room to make a phone call to Hong Kong, and hides to call Scrozzle and the Robo-Generals about what’s going on. Realizing that he cannot return to the Crystal Dimension with the tracker in his hand as it would expose their base's location, Evox-Daniels orders his minions to find a way to get him more Morph-X or else he will risk transforming back into Evox in front of the Rangers. Scrozzle tells the Robo-Generals that they only have a few hours before Evox’s disguise wears off, leaving the two to think of a plan fast.
Later that day, Zoey and Nate prep for their stakeout mission, only for Ben, Betty, and Steel to arrive and hand them brand-new clothing capsules. The capsules contain formal wear for the two Rangers, but the two stammer that they need to blend in with the crowd, not stand out. Steel tries to push the two into going on a date, revealing what Zoey told him last night, but Nate and Zoey told him that they are not going on a date and head out on their stakeout mission. At the lunch location, Nate gives Zoey some ramen for a meal, while mentioning how nice it is to hang out with her. Unbeknownst to them, Steel secretly followed them and uses a stick to knock Nate’s dish off the bench, forcing the two to share Zoey’s dish. The two nearly share a kiss from a noodle, while Evox-Daniels take the opportunity to slip away, only for Nate to accidentally spill ramen on Zoey's lap and notice that Evox-Daniels is gone. Evox-Daniels calls the Robo-Generals to bring him Morph-X now, and approach him with a canister of it, only for Zoey and Nate to appear first, forcing them to retreat with the Morph-X. Angered that his minions' plan failed, Evox-Daniels then berates the two for not protecting him from the Robo-Generals.
Back at Grid Battleforce, Evox-Daniels keeps the act up by berating the two Rangers for not keeping a close eye on him, and Commander Shaw reveals that she saw the near kiss thanks to surveillance cameras. Devon and Ravi are shocked to find out that Nate and Zoey are a thing, and the two are forced to admit to their feelings for each other in front of Shaw. While Shaw chews the two out for breaking the rules, Steel admits that he is at fault for pushing Nate’s ramen bowl in order to bring the two closer, but argues that what use is a rule if all it does is make people unhappy. Ravi agrees with Steel as the no dating rule made him and Roxy miserable when they were about to become Rangers, but Evox-Daniels argues that rules are made to be followed before leaving. Shaw replaces Nate for Ravi as Daniels’ bodyguard, and sternly tells Zoey and Nate that they will finish their discussion later.
Driving Evox-Daniels to his meeting, Ravi and Zoey leave the former in the SUV to check out the area. Once they leave, Evox-Daniels calls his Robo-Generals and demand they ambush the Rangers as he needs Morph-X immediately, before coughing from the lack of energy. As Zoey and Ravi take Evox-Daniels to his meeting, Robo-Roxy takes a girl’s tiara and uses the Robotron Key on it to create Tiaratron. They order her to attack the Rangers while they get Evox the Morph-X he needs. Tiaratron attacks Ravi and Zoey, forcing the two Rangers to protect Evox-Daniels as they morph. Zoey calls for backup as Ravi fights against Tiaratron, but Commander Shaw reveals that a Gigadrone is set to appear in Sector Romeo 2-1. After sending Devon to deal with the Gigadrone, the Commander sends Nate and Steel to help Ravi and Zoey. Devon in the Racer Zord Battle Mode hops on the Beast-X King ZordVehicle Mode to the Gigadrone's location.
A morphed Nate and Steel arrive just in time to help Ravi as he is starting to overheat from the fight, so the latter sits out for a bit to cool down. However, Tiaratron proves to be a challenge for the two Rangers and their Striker Sabers. Devon and the Beast-X King Zord are approaching the Beta Model Gigadrone, Tiaradrone and its small tiara jet crafts, which Devon manages to easily destroy with the Beast-X King Zord's laser. Thankfully, Ravi has cooled down enough to reenter the fight against Tiaratron, while Zoey takes Evox-Daniels to safety. The Robo-Generals are hiding and spot their master and know that he can turn back into Evox at any moment if he doesn't get Morph-X, so they morph and confront Zoey. Zoey summons Nate's new weapon, the Beast-X King Spin Saber and uses it to battle the Robo-Generals.
Meanwhile, Nate and Steel hold off Tiaratron, while Ravi calls for his Beast-X Visor and activates his Beast-X Mode before using a Gorilla Slam to destroy Tiaratron. As for Zoey, the new weapon is not enough as she is pushed back by Robo-Roxy, and demorphs in the process. Before Robo-Roxy finishes Zoey off, Nate arrives and protects her with his body, causing him to demorph in the process. However, Zoey avoids Robo-Roxy's blasts and grabs the Beast-X King Spin Saber and angrily tosses it at the Robo-Generals to initiate its Tornado Takedown attack, which destroys them both before they had the chance to deliver the Morph-X to Evox-Daniels. After the fight, Zoey brings Nate to his feet and hugs him as thanks for protecting her. Evox-Daniels thanks them for protecting him, even though his minions failed their mission. As for Devon, he summons the Cheetah Beast Blaster and destroys a flying Tiaradrone with a King Combo Strike attack.
Evox's secret is revealed.
Back at the base, Commander Shaw sees the footage of Nate and Zoey hugging as the Rangers return with Evox-Daniels. Nate and Zoey tell the Commander that they haven't been dating and wouldn't as it would jeopardize the team. However, the Commander is impressed with how well the team has done because of their relationships, and decides get rid of the rule, saying the closer they are, the more successful they are. Steel is ecstatic that his brother and Zoey can be together, so the two hold hands and Zoey asks Nate if he wants to see a movie tonight, with Nate saying, "Affirmative. It's a date".
Suddenly, Evox-Daniels starts coughing more violently due to the lack of Morph-X, and Devon tries to check on his dad, but he leaves the building in a hurry, with the Rangers and Commander Shaw following. He makes it outside the building before collapsing and Devon tries to help him, only to be shoved out of the way as more everybody watches in horror and shock as the former forcibly change back into Evox. He tells Devon that he is not his father and fires a blast at them all. Evox taunts Devon that the real Mayor Daniels is gone and tells the Rangers that the Morphin Grid will be his before teleporting away. Devon is now crestfallen that Evox and his father are in the same body.
This is the first appearance of Roxy in Sentai footage.
All previous footage used of her was U.S. created since her Sentai Counterpart only spent a handful of episodes in her morphed form in Go-Busters and she mainly stayed in her human form.
Zoey's solo morph sequence is shown.
Zoey is the first female Ranger since Emma Goodall to have a solo morph sequence.
Additionally, Zoey is the first Yellow Ranger since Summer Landsdown to have a solo morph sequence.
This article is about an episode in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
