Plot

Lily, Casey, Theo, RJ, and Dominic are walking in the woods. RJ: So Casey, how's teaching the kung-fu class coming along? Casey: Yeah, it's coming along. The kids remind me of when I first started. Dominic: I'm sure you're a great teacher. Hey, maybe we can sign up Theo. His moves are getting a little rusty. Dominic and Theo begin to fight. Casey told them to break it up and save it for the Phantom Beasts. RJ told Casey he was sounding like a teacher and asked him what his next lesson was. Casey replied the element of surprise.

Inside Dai Shi's lair, he is talking to the Phantom Beast Generals. Dai stops in front of General Whiger. Dai Shi mentions how Red Ranger has the tiger spirit as does he. As far as Dai Shi is concern, that is one too many tigers. Dai Shi wants General Whiger to destroy Red Ranger to prove himself worthy. General Whiger leaves to do Dai Shi's bidding.

Jimmy excitedly runs into his class and tells them how he saw the Rangers sparring. Todd immediately mocks Jimmy and asks him if they ask him to become Nerd Ranger. Casey walks in and the class begins. During the training, Jimmy is knocked to the mat by his opponent. Todd walks over and begins teasing Jimmy, referring to him once more as Nerd Ranger. Casey walks over and asks Todd if he would like to share the joke. Todd rather not and the class continues.

Casey and RJ are jogging along in the woods. Casey is quiet and RJ asks him what is wrong. Casey tells him about the problems he is having with two kids in his class, a bully and the weaker student. RJ points out that it may be the bully who is the weaker student. Casey asks RJ if anyone has ever told him he is smart and RJ remarks that he tells himself that everyday.

RJ points out that General Whiger has the tiger spirit as well. The teens do not know who General Whiger is. RJ tells them he is a Phantom Beast General.

Casey leaves to go teach his class. Inside the temple, Dai Shi is very pleased with General Whiger. Now Dai Shi wants General Whiger to destroy Red Ranger.
