Plot[]
The episode begins with the Cogs building a machine at the Angel Grove Junkyard and one of them said that the machine is almost done and that King Mondo would be pleased.
At the Machine Moon Base, King Mondo said that Silo has been built by the Cogs on Earth while Orbus was being equipped with the technology to make his creations grow to epic size and then he will program Silo and soon that he will be able to launch his power against the Rangers and Queen Machina agrees. After Klank told Orbus to stop his whining, King Mondo said that he'll retain a stiff upper lip when the Cogs make the proper modifications to his system as well. He also said that whenever he needs his creations to grow, they'll provide the service.
Meanwhile at Angel Grove High, Rocky and Jennifer were testing their creation and while Rocky said that it was perfect, Jennifer disagreed that there were some software problems they need to work out. Rocky was being smitten about being teamed up with Jennifer, who seemed uncomfortable. While she rebooted the hard drive, Rocky tried to ask her out to the school dance on Friday, but he accidentally fell out of his chair.
Back at the Junkyard, Lt. Stone tells Bulk and Skull that there has been a rash of break-ins and tells Bulk that one man's trash is another man's gold. Stone tells them to stand guard and keep a look out for any suspicious characters and Bulk thinks that their assignment is a piece of cake, Skull asked who would want to waste their time in a junkyard, leaving Bulk unamused.
Meanwhile back at Angel Grove High, Jennifer said that the main chip wasn't responding, and she had to go home to run some tests. Rocky offered to walk her home, but she said that she can handle it and asked Rocky if they will meet each other at the computer lab this afternoon and Rocky agreed. Jennifer also said that she will activate the security code so no one can get into the system while they're gone, she wrote down the password and Rocky asked if he could keep it, Jennifer agreed and warned him to never let anything happen to it and that they're talking about their science grade.
Back at the Machine Moon Base, King Mondo said that Rocky and Jennifer's computer game gave him an idea and that he'll use their software to program Silo and Prince Sprocket asked how he will gain access to their computer. King Mondo said that he'll send down a fleet of Cogs and that they'll steal the password for him.
While Adam and Rocky are walking home, they started talking about Jennifer when suddenly, the Cogs appeared, prompting Adam and Rocky to morph. Midway through the battle, one of the Cogs took Rocky's backpack that had Jennifer's password before retreating, leaving Rocky disappointed.
At the school, a Cog used it to first unlock a password and then used a disc to program Silo.
At the junkyard, Bulk and Skull were checking around the area when Silo asked them where he can find the Rangers, causing Bulk and Skull to run in fear.
At the Power Chamber, Billy told Alpha that the Zeo Battle Helmets were for a test run and Zordon commends him for his excellent work. Alpha said that he can't wait til the Rangers see their new Battle Helmets, Billy said that each one's designed with its own power. Suddenly, the alarm went off and in the viewing globe, they see Silo destroying Angel Grove and Zordon told Alpha and Billy that they must alert the Rangers immediately.
At the Youth Center, Adam and Rocky told the others the situation and Zordon told them that King Mondo has dispatched Silo, prompting them to morph.
After Orbus enlarged Silo, the Rangers summoned the Zeo Megazord and thanks to the new Battle Helmets, they defeated Silo, leaving King Mondo enraged.
At Angel Grove High, Rocky told Jennifer what happened, leaving her going ballistic on him, and he told her that he got the software back and Jennifer asked where did he get it and Rocky said that it was at the junkyard. Rocky tried to ask her to the dance, and she told him that if it wasn't for him losing the password in the first place, their software wouldn't be touched. Rocky calms her down by saying that ever since they've been working on this project, she's given him the cold shoulder and asked her what was wrong. Jennifer apologized to Rocky for the way she's been acting and that she had a lot riding on her grades and the college she was looking into was watching her really close and it could mean a scholarship for her. She also told Rocky that she was busy Friday, but she could take a rain check, leaving Rocky amused as the episode ends.

Errors[]
- Jennifer stated that she intended to wipe and reboot the main hard drive in order to restart the computer game; in reality this would surely delete the game from the computer.
- Jennifer put a password to stop anyone accessing the resource center's computer, despite the computer being for public use.
- The unintroduced Zeo Jet Cycles are briefly shown behind the Rangers as they confront Silo and King Mondo.
- Silo had a black square projection sticking out of his back which was missing in US footage.
- The Zeo IV Battle Helmet (controlled by Adam) supposedly used "Gravity Power", however it was then used to break the chains around the Zeo Megazord. In fact, it appeared to be the Zeo III Battle Helmet that could control gravity (as evidenced during the fight with Silo).
- Billy stated that the Zeo II Battle Helmet used "Rocket Power", however Tommy later called it "Jet Power".
- When building Silo, the zipper on the back of a Cog can be seen when he turns to another Cog.
Notes[]
- Traci Belushi, who appears in this episode as Jennifer, previously appeared in the show as Zarius in Mighty Morphin's "A Friend in Need".
- This episode marks the first face-to-face encounter between the Power Rangers and King Mondo.
- According to the end credits, this episode was filmed around December 14, 1995 which was about two and a half weeks after Mighty Morphin's Rangers in Reverse aired.
