Part 1
While in class, Mr. H (Drew Hale) talks about the fate of the world. One girl gives credit to the Power Rangers for the safety of the world, but J.D. speaks up and says that they all (as humans) took part in rebuilding the school and city after the first Armada attack. After class, Drew and the Rangers receive a call from Tensou to investigate the attacks by XBorg platoons. Each time the Rangers get to the scene, the X-Borgs were already defeated. They continuously get calls to already cleared up scenes. Samantha interrogates a group of people, in which they saw a Silver Ranger defeat the X-Borgs. Skeptical, they return to Lacie's Brainfreeze. The new waitress accidentally bumps into Ben, apologizes, tells him that he has nice eyes, and leaves the mall, which left Ben flattered and blushed. J.D. offers to treat for frozen yogurt, and waits at the counter, but leaves with the rangers for battle.

During the battle with Gorgax, the Silver Ranger appears and defeats the X-Borgs one-handedly, which then he leaves afterwards. The Rangers return to Ernie's. The new waitress gives the rangers their yogurt. Samantha hugs her and introduces her as her cousin Heather to them. Ben and Kelly looks at her bracelet on the left hand. She finishes her shift and leaves. The Rangers get another call to fight Gorgax.

The Rangers previously had uncovered Gorgax's force field weakness. Levira had fixed the collar and unknownst to Gorgax has installed a bomb. Todd attempts to strike, but the Silver Ranger appears to stop him from attacking the rigged collar. He uses his Spear to forcefully remove the collar and the Rangers duck from the explosion.

Gorgax, now defenseless, is defeated when Silver Ranger unveils a Ranger Key, much to Ben's shock, and executes a Super Mega Final Strike on Gorgax.

Wanting answers, the Rangers demand Silver Ranger to reveal himself. He then removes his helmet, revealing that the silver ranger was a teenage female and was the new waitress Ben had previously bumped into and who was Samantha's cousin, Heather.

Part 2
Continuing the conversation of the last episode, both Ben and Samantha mentions she has bumped into the Silver Ranger before and Samantha tells her teammates that was her cousin as she informs them his name is Heather. Ben notices she isn't from around the area and Heather says she is new to Seaside. While the others take a liking to him because she is 16 years old, a year younger than the other rangers, J.D. questions why she is here in Seaside. Heather explains that her adopted parents have divorced and she and her mother have moved to Seaside.

As the Rangers give Heather their condolences, J.D. tells her it's time that he met their leader. As they enter the Command Center, Tensou gets excited to meet the new Ranger and Heather immediately takes a liking towards Tensou. As Drew Hale welcomes Heather, he mentions he thought the Silver Ranger Key was lost and asks Heather how he managed to find it.

Heather informs him that a little over a week before she and her mother moved to Seaside, she was taking out the trash when she sees a strange crystal containing a strange box and the Key. Keeping her findings to himself, Heather studied the two objects, eventually holding them together and causing him to experience his first vision of the Legendary Sixth Rangers. Through the vision, she knew he had to find the Sixth Rangers, but had no idea what it meant, and she didn't dare put the key into the box, which Tensou corrects him by calling it a Morpher.

Leaving the Command Center to help Heather adjust to life in Seaside, Ben wanted to ask Heather about her morpher but is pushed out of the way by Kelly, when Heather doesn't mind if Ben asks her a question. Kelly and Samantha take the 16-year-old. As J.D., Todd, and Ben sit at Lacie's for several hours, Sam and Kelly get a curly, frizzy Heather a haircut into a stylish shoulder-length hairstyle and make her try out a plethora of clothes before deciding on her outfit, consisting of a silver jacket and silver hoop earrings.

On the Armada Mothership, Damaras and Levira are having a conversation about how Prince Vekar has fallen into a depression because of the failure of his last plan, and Damaras mentions they may do better without him as Osogain enters the room.

Attacking a construction site, Osogain sends powered up X-Borgs and Bruisers against the now six-man team. Proving himself a valuable ally, Orion backs up his fellow Rangers before they morph into the Samurai Rangers and finishing off the remaining Bruisers.

Orion faces Osogain alone to avenge the Andresians, using his Super Mega Final Strike to finish him off before Levira enlarges him. Back at the Command Center, Tensou exclaims to Gosei that the Sixth Rangers keys are becoming reinvigorated because of Orion, causing the Quantum Ranger, Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, and White Dino Ranger keys to reappear on the Command Center's walls.

Gosei calls Troy and informs him Orion has unlocked his Megazord, the Q-Rex Drill Megazord. Summoning his zord from the future and requesting to finish Osogain himself, Orion engages Osogain in a Megazord battle, using the Quantum Ranger, Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, and White Dino Ranger keys to transform his zord into different forms, and destroying Osogain once and for all.

Back at Ernie's, the Rangers marvel at Orion's power, while Troy says they need to remind Orion he is on a team now, and not on a vendetta mission. Ernie and Orion come up them, and the Rangers prepare a seat for the latter before Ernie tells them that Orion won't be sitting with them, but serving them as his new employee.

Noah, Emma, Gia, and Jake argue over who gets to hang out with Orion first as he serves them Froyo.
