She runs away. Gemma beats Scott and Gem during their return from a jog, with both men wondering if she took a shortcut.
Meanwhile, Kilobyte, Venjix's most feared general arrives in the evil lair, he is feared by the others, aside from Tenaya. He takes off his head, and spills out the sand, collected from the wasteland travels, asking Tenaya 7 to clean it up. She is insulted, and wants to fight him, but the others hold her back. Tenaya is commanded to go with her Chemical Bot to the city, by Venjix.
Tenaya is upset that Kilobyte called her sweetheart and blasts a Grinder. The Rangers arrive and fight the Grinders. The Rangers split and the five go after Chemical Bot. Tenaya takes on the twins. The Attack Bot looses his red drink and freaks out. He dirnks the purple drink and sprays it on the Rangers. He disappears. Yellow grabs his red drink that he left behind.
Tenaya 7 returns to the base and Kilobyte scoffs at her. Chemical Bot pours a yellow drink in the tubes of the city and a yellow gas goes off. All the men in the city fall asleep.
Summer is playing pool when Gem, Scott, and Dillon have all fallen asleep. Doctor K says that the gas is specific chromosome, gender-specific. A worried Vasquez tells them that the Colonel is asleep. Summer tells Gemma to work on the upgrades, Doctor K will work on an antidote and Summer will take care of Vasquez.
Tenaya asks Kilobyte if because she looks female, that he thinks she is weak, he says it is because she is programmed to be a girl, that she is weak. He holds her up, until Venjix tells him to let her go.
Summer gives Vasquez confidence. Meanwhile, Gemma upgrades the Road Attack Zord, but now it will only work with Scott's Engine Cell. Doctor K has an antidote and tries it on Ziggy. Ziggy wakes up and says he had a dream where he was with Doctor K. He falls asleep again and Summer arrives.
Tenaya, Chemical Bot and the Grinders come into the city as the guards are asleep. Summer and Gemma use Dillon's car, saying it is an emergency. Summer asks Vasquez if she is ready, she says not yet. They fight the Grinders. Tenaya brings the girls down. They then morph. Yellow does an energy burst and takes down some Grinders. Tenaya pushes Chemical Bot into the fight and the two fight him. Vasquez initiates a thunder storm and takes out the Grinders. Tenaya attacks the duo. Vasquez creates a tornado, The girls grab on to things and the twister takes in the Attack Bot, the Grinders and Dillon's car hood. Tenaya holds on to dear life. Vasquez's base goes haywire and the climate control goes offline. The girls de-morph.
Doctor K finally has the antidote and sprays it on the boys. She gives Scott the Road Attack Zord and the boys run off to battle.
Tenaya is about to attack the girls when Kilobyte shoots Tenaya down, saying no one likes a cheap shot. The boys arrive, Scott and the Road Attack Zord fight the Chemical Bot on the other side of the city. The Rangers reunite.
The Attack Bot is grown and the other Zords except for Red's fight the Attack Bot. Because his energy is down. ValveMax and Mach Megazord are formed and take down the monster.
The twins and Ziggy pour the antidote in the fan. Dillon is upset that his car hood is gone, Summer and Gemma bring it in, amusing the others because of its current state. Flynn then reassures Dillon that he will fix it, but Dillon doesn't want it like new, he wants it like he had it. Dillon tells the girls not to drive his car. Summer says not to fall asleep next time. Dillon asks how driving his car into a tornado a good thing. Scott and Flynn says it is good because at least their cars were not used.

Errors[]
- When Doctor K hands Scott Truman the Road Attack Zord, she calls him Gem instead of Scott.
Notes[]
- John Tellegen's first script had a "Rambo Granny": right at the end, a random old woman would "step up" and zap a monster with a plasma cannon. Disney rejected it as not seeming 'in universe'.[1]
- Kilobyte is introduced, although he doesn't appear in the next episode, "And… Action!" and in the following one, "Ancient History" he has a different voice.
- It's quite ironic that Kilobyte requested Tenaya to clean up the dust he dumped in the Venjix Palace as his Go-Onger counterpart is a cleaning-themed robot.
- The plot with Kilobyte-Tenaya-Dillon is very similar to the In Space plot: Darkonda-Astronema-Andros.
- Flynn says during the Zord battle "This is how we do it Glasgow style.", possibly indicating he grew up or lived in the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
- Kilobyte proves to have misogynistic tendencies, expressing women as being helpless without the men and joking about Tenaya being a "girl" making her inadequate.
- Ziggy says he had a dream about being on a date with Doctor K. This is the third time a potential romance is implied in RPM after Summer and Dillon and the much more subtle, and much less explored, interest between Flynn and Gemma from the previous episode. While Doctor K had implied Summer may also have feelings for Scott it was later shown her true feelings were for Dillon.
- Despite using the male-oriented chemical, and losing the female oriented chemical, to the Rangers, Tenaya's Chemical Bot was restocked with all his chemicals during the battle with Gemma and Summer.
