Kimberly's deaf friend, Melissa, has a tough time fitting in at the noisy Youth Center.

Can she aid the Power Rangers in putting an end to the Gnome's symphony of destruction?

Bulk insists that he can do anything Zack can do. Zack shows off his stylish moves on the dance floor. Bulk pulls it off, but needs Skull's help moving afterwards. Zack shows off by doing a handstand on the Juice Bar. Bulk tries to do the same, but ends up falling into the food behind the counter.
