The episode opens up with the male rangers meeting Erin, a long time friend of Shelby's and immediately, the guys take a liking to her. Erin reminisces about their time in kindergarten where Shelby invented a song about dinosaurs, which she took credit for.
Later, the seven are seen walking through the park, where Erin and Chase treat the group to ice cream; however Chase notes that while it was 'her' treat, he was the one to pay for them. As they are waliking, they bump into a Spikeball, holding a large bag of stolen groceries. Quickly shooing Erin away, telling the group to 'split up and meet back at the cafe' as a ruse; the rangers morph and battle it, destroying the groceries. With a combined Dino Morpher Blast, the Spikeball is destroyed, sending its club flying. Erin picks it up, not long before a news reporter comes in. Caught up in the moment, Erin calls herself the Pink Ranger.
Back at the crashed ship, Heckyl is furious that his cookie doesn't taste like cinnamon. The chef, Halfbake tries to tell him that he sent out a Spikeball to get some, but he hasn't returned yet. At this point, Halfbake asks if he can have a turn to capture the energems. At this statement, Heckyl and Wrench start laughing, as a joke, Wrench asks what his plan is to destroy the rangers. Halfbake's reply is to simply destroy the rangers, which causes the duo to laugh even more. Infuriated, Halfbake prepares to escape, and when Wrench confronts him, Halfbake pushes Wrench into a control panel, causing it to short circuit and empower Wrench.
Seeing the news report, Shelby is incredibly disappointed in Erin, once again taking credit for someone else's work. Her intent on speaking with her is cut short by Erin's arrival. Shelby tries to talk to Erin in the kitchen when her phone goes off, revealing Erin gave Shelby's number to a reporter as her phone is dying.
Trying to get her mind off things, Shelby goes down to the base, where Kendall has begun construction on the X Charger, which will increase the power of the Victory Charger by adding the Gold, Aqua, Graphite, Purple, and Silver Energems' powers to it. However this is soon cut short by the arrival of Halfbake, who politely asks a police officer where he can find the rangers. While Erin dodges a mob of fans, so she can disappear, the rangers fight Halfbake. Not long into the fight, Wrench comes in, stronger than ever and infuriated at Halfbake for electrocuting him. Chase tries to fight him, while the others do battle with Halfbake. However, Wrench overloads, causing a massive explosion, which the other rangers try to stop.
After another victory, the rangers head back to base, while Erin talks to the reporters again. Unfortunately for her, Halfbake believes Erin's claims of being the Pink Ranger and kidnaps her. Back at the base, Shelby is upset over Erin's attitude lately. Keeper reminds her that if she wants Erin to change, Shelby has to be honest with Erin. It's at this point, Erin's kidnapping is revealed to the rangers. Remembering Erin still has her phone, Shelby uses it to track Erin and Halfbake to the sewers. Halfbake now has Erin in a large pastry dough, where her pleas go on deaf ears, as Halfbake is convinced she is the Pink Ranger. The real rangers show up and free Erin, who escapes. Deciding they've had enough, Tyler switches over to Super Charge mode and the rangers destroy Halfbake with the Victory Maximum Finish. Infuriated, Heckyl orders the magna beam be fired, where Chase and Ivan summon their zords, creating the Ptera Charge Megazord - Para formation. The rangers make quick work of the chef with the Megazord's blaster power. Back at the cafe, the Shelby learns that Erin has come clean about not being a ranger. Much to the rangers' collective surprise, Erin comes to the cafe and apologizes to Shelby for her actions. She then gives long overdue credit for the creation of the Triceratops song, and everyone sings to it.
Tropes:
- An Aesop: A few for this episode:
- Don't take credit for something you can't back up later.
- People can only change if you talk to them about their problems.
- Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The sewer the rangers find Halfbake and Erin in in the climax is large enough to house foliage and trees.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Sledge and Heckyl have sent out some frankly weird monsters, including a chef before now, with some odd strategies to defeat the rangers. Halfbake, Heckyl's personal chef, wants a shot at the rangers. Heckyl finds this hilarious, not because Halfbake isn't strong enough to beat them, but is because he is too nice. Case in point? He asks a police officer for help finding the rangers in exchange for cookies.
- Explosive Overclocking: Wrench gets overcharged once again, letting him actually stand on a level field against the Rangers, but the power causes his armor to overload and explode, damaging everyone in the vicinity, himself included.
- I Am a Humanitarian: Halfbake said he was going to cook Erin if she doesn't hand over her Energem.
-
Narm Charm: Tricera Rocks! Just listen to it and imagine it sung by 5 year olds instead of adults. - Shout-Out: Another Kyoryuger reference appears in this episode, the Dino X Charger's attack name of Victory Maximum.
- Skewed Priorities: Heckyl is more concerned about getting cinnamon for the cookies Halfbake is making for him to send out a monster to fight the rangers.
- Stealing the Credit: Erin took credit for writing Shelby's Tricera Rocks song, as well as being the Pink Ranger.
- Token Good Teammate: Halfbake for the outlaws, since he isn't necessarily a bad guy, but works as a personal chef on board the ship. As such, he is rather nice for an alien living aboard a ship full of outlaws.
