Ultimate Mystery is the twelfth episode of Power Rangers Dino Fury season 2, and the thirty-fourth episode overall. This episode features the reappearance of General Shaw and serves as a prelude to a three-part storyline featuring the return of Lord Zedd to enact a new plan.

Synopsis

When Jane vetoes a BuzzBlast story on Bigfoot, Amelia tells Stan and Annie to bend the rules and do it anyway. But when her colleagues end up in danger, Amelia learns an important lesson about responsibility.

Plot

Amelia and her BuzzBlast friends Stan and Annie, are outside Area 62 to interview Pop-Pop, who is very reluctant to do it as he does not like talking about his past. Pop-Pop is dressed in radioactive protection gear as he fears the area is radioactive, but there is no sign of radiation from the staff's Geiger counter. Pop-Pop goes ahead with the interview, telling Amelia that he never saw any alien activity due to working as a janitor. When the boom mic operator's phone goes off, Pop-Pop believes it is a radiation signal and runs off, only to trip and fall into a blueberry bush. However, the alert is a notification about a viral video that looks like Bigfoot in Patterson Woods.

Excited about seeing Bigfoot, Amelia pitches the idea to Jane back at the office. However, Jane cannot see the figure properly due to how blurry the video is and tells Amelia to stick with the Area 62 story. Still, Amelia decides to go ahead with the Bigfoot story without Jane's permission and tells Stan and Annie to look for him. She gives them a file folder on Bigfoot to research, just as Solon calls her and asks she return to Dinohenge immediately. As Amelia leaves, Stan and Annie find a map to Dinohenge and decide to go there as Bigfoot was rumored to have built the monument.

Once the Rangers meet at Dinohenge, Zayto informs them that they are expecting a call from General Shaw, the head of Coral Harbor's Grid Battleforce. Shaw calls the Rangers in the middle of a battlefield, warning them that a prison break has occurred in Coral Harbor and many villains in captivity have escaped. The Grid Battleforce Rangers are seen fighting against one of the prisoners, but Shaw warns the Rangers that they have reports of one of their prisoners heading to Pine Ridge. Once the call ends, Javi says that he thought Pine Ridge was unlucky, but that Coral Harbor has it worse. Amelia suggests that they warn the city about the incoming threat, just as the Ranger Hotline alerts them of an attack by an unknown entity.

The Rangers teleport to the alert's location, and Javi sees a spike-covered monster in the woods. As the monster walks towards them, Amelia realizes it was the "Bigfoot" she saw in the video. The Rangers morph and attack the monster, only to find him insanely powerful after he blasts Izzy away. Zayto and Aiyon use the Blazing and Electro Dino Keys' Blazing and Electro Battle Armors against the monster, but the latter quickly counters the attacks. Zayto activates the Dino Knight Armor Mode and immediately uses the Dino Knight Strike, but the monster counters with a blast that knocks the former out mid-attack. As the Rangers struggle to get back on their feet, the monster reveals he is not a Sporix Beast: he introduces himself as Lothorn, the nephew of the evil wizard Lokar, who battled against the Mighty Morphin Rangers. Before the Rangers can charge at Lothorn, the latter teleports away.

Returning to Dinohenge, Solon scans the city as Javi wonders what Lothorn's plan is as there seems to be more to the latter than just randomly attacking Pine Ridge. Meanwhile, Stan and Annie arrive at Dinohenge, only to see Lothorn come there as well. They hide behind the Tiger Statue and begin recording, but Lothorn begins striking the statues as he somehow knows that destroying them would severe the Dino Fury Rangers' connection to the Morphin Grid. The Rangers get an alert about Lothorn's attack on Dinohenge and Amelia sees Stan and Annie in trouble. The Rangers immediately get outside as Amelia teleports Stan and Amelia out of the area, while Ollie wonders who told Lothorn about the Dinohenge's connection to the Grid. Using the Shield Dino Key, Zayto blocks Lothorn's attack and activates the teleportation systems, dragging the latter with him and the other Rangers into the city and away from Dinohenge.

Lothorn orders the Rangers to take him back to Dinohenge to destroy the statues. Amelia tells him that the only place he's going is back to prison at Grid Battleforce, which he refuses and a fight starts, with Lothorn getting angry that our heroes keep insulting his feet and hair. As the Rangers get the upper hand thanks to Javi using the Shield Dino Key to block his attacks, Lothorn pulls out a Pocket Gigantifier and uses it to grow into a giant. The Rangers summon their Zords and form the Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation and the Mosa Razor Zord Battle Mode. The fight continues, with both Megazords ganging up on Lothorn and overpowering him. Eventually, Zayto summons the Ptera Freeze Zord, and they reconfigure the Zords into the Primal Ultrazord and knock Lothorn into space, before summoning the Mega Fury Saber to destroy him with a Primal Ultra Blast.

Later that day, Amelia sees a baking video Jane and Pop-Pop did with the blueberries he found near Area 62, only for it to go wrong when J-Borg offhandedly said they could have grown due to radiation. Amelia apologizes to Stan and Annie for getting them into trouble and promises never to push them into ignoring Jane's rules again. When the Rangers come in, Ollie sees Amelia's file folders about her superstitious beliefs and asks why she cares about it so much. Amelia reveals a folder containing info about her parents, explaining that they were lost in a fire based on what Pop-Pop has told her. However, Amelia is certain that there is more to it and explains that trying to find other unsolved mysteries would hopefully provide her with clues as to what really happened to her parents. Realizing how serious Amelia is about finding her parents and how they now know it's not just a hobby for her, the Rangers tell her she will find her parents and give her a big group hug. Afterwards, Solon calls Zayto and tells him that General Shaw wants to provide them with a briefing.

When the Rangers get back to Dinohenge, General Shaw informs the Rangers that thanks to the Grid Battleforce Rangers, the prison break has been contained and congratulates them on defeating Lothorn. However, one villain managed to escape Grid Battleforce's grasp, their old foe Scrozzle. Shaw says that the prison break was done to release Scrozzle and send Lothorn after them, revealing that the being who concocted this plan was Lord Zedd! This shocks the Rangers, and after seeing security footage of him attacking Grid Battleforce, they are immediately unnerved by his return. Aiyon recalls that the Green Morphin Master that woke him up said he was the key to stopping Zedd, and Javi grimly remarks that things were about to get interesting.
