Plot Synopsis
It is night in Angel Grove, three months have passed since the final defeat of the Malastarians. Inside a bar, Beverly looks at her ring, which is the one she gave her fiancee and later became her Zodiac Power Morpher. Even though it's all over, she watches Maria interviewing some people on TV talking about the Power Rangers. Beverly is all but fine, she drowns her sorrows in drinking, street racing, and often getting into fights with people. When a group of thugs enter the place, they sit down for a drink as Beverly looks at them. A waitress frowns at the sight of them, since they're troublemakers. As she takes out a pen and paper, one of the thugs grabs her buttocks and she squeals.

Bartender: HEY! How many times have I told you to not bother her

Thug: Shut up old man!

When the thug tries to touch her again she slaps him and Beverly looks as he roughly slaps her across the face. Drunk and angry she gets up to stand for the waitress. The thugs approach Beverly as she tells them.

Beverly: Apologize to the lady! Now!

Thug: Bite me bitch!

The thug pushes her and throws beer in her face as they laugh. The waitress tries to dry her face concerned saying

Waitress: These guys are not worth it

Beverly: Hang on honey, I'll handle them

Thug: You want another one!

Beverly: No thanks!

She kicks the thug in the groin and immediately punches the one on his right and then the one on the left. A major fight ensues as Beverly takes a few punches, but despite her drunkenness she is still a tough fighter as she puts most of them on the floor breaking bottles and glasses in the process. Two police officers burst in and grab Beverly. Beverly is locked up, only to be out on bail by Theo. Theo is greatly concerned for his best friend.
