I Must Save Alpha!

At the Machine Palace, Klank apologizes for his failures and promises that he'll find the Prince of Edenoi and the Zeo Crystal, but Hypnobot mocks him and says she can do it better. As an example of his success, she mentions her "energy farm," which is the pit Alpha almost fell into earlier: with this, humans and robots are caught in her trap and kept alive so that their energy continually feeds into the Machine Palace to bring energy to their monsters. She suggests that Klank can serve as her assistant, which infuriates him. Queen Machina intervenes and tells Hypnobot that she'll use the energy farm, but she needs to remember that she and Klank are the same rank and both serve her and Mondo. Hypnobot, after a pause, reluctantly bows.

Billy walks down the street and notices Alpha heading his direction. He glances about, wondering if she should leave, but hears Alpha scream as Hypnobot's pit opens under his feet. Billy runs over and tries to grab his hand, but he can't quite reach and Alpha slides into Hypnobot's trap. Kimberly and Tommy come running and find Billy staring at the ground in disbelief, and they confirm it was the same as the pit Alpha saw last time. Kimberly kneels on the ground, looking for any sign of it as Billy looks on and Tommy watches Billy, concerned. Just then their communicator ring and Zordon tells them that he's found the place where the people and robots are being kept.

The three Rangers run into a large, open building, and the other Rangers meet them. Tanya senses that a barrier is in place. Kimberly spots Alpha walking by on the next floor up and charges toward him; Billy and Tanya shout a warning but Kim runs headlong into the invisible barrier and bounces off. Rocky and Adam reach out their hands and feel the barrier, and Billy explains that the captured people and robots are behind it, their energy being slowly siphoned off. He suggests that if they all combine their powers, they might be able to break the barrier, so they morph into the Zeo Rangers.

On the count of three they send their power at the barrier, but it explodes in their faces and throws them back. Kimberly tells them to try again, but it has the same result. Determined, she tries it one more time by herself, but her power once again rebounds. Another attempt has the same result, and the others try to get her to stop, asking why she's so determined. Zeo Ranger I declares that she has to save Alpha and stands up to prepare for another try. Zeo Ranger V is surprised that Zeo Ranger I is so determined to save Alpha. Suddenly, Zeo Ranger V gets an idea and charges off.

Later, he returns then with Katherine in tow; she insists that her cold is fine, and says that they should have called her earlier. Zeo Ranger III notices a crack in the barrier then, and Zeo Ranger I declares that they can break it with one more shot. The seven of them together send their power at the barrier, and it shatters. The Rangers charge in just in time to see the trapped people and robots collapse as their energy is drained.

The seven Rangers search for Hypnobot and encounter her in a hallway in the building. After a brief fight, Billy heals her with Aquitar Hydro Mist. The others congratulate her, and Katherine sneezes, earning her an apology from Kimberly for involving her in the fight while she was still sick. Zordon appears over the communicator and tells the Rangers to give energy back to the people and robots who had theirs stolen. Kimberly nods and summons her Zeo Power Pod in sword mode, then holds it out and concentrates. It begins to glow pink, and as the light shines on Hypnobot's victims, they revive.
