Aisha, Adam, and Billy were in the park, tossing a Frisbee around. Aisha: Alright Billy, over here! Billy: Adam. Suddenly a small space craft flew right over their heads. They all ducked down. Aisha: Whoa, nearly gave me a haircut! The three teens watched as the space craft continued on it's way. Bulk & Skull were in another area of the park. They were making lines in the grass with a chalk machine. Bulk was reading from his UFO book. Bulk: the ability to fly unassisted, disappearances on command, super strength, the Power Rangers are definitely aliens from outer space. Skull: Bulkie, are you sure this is going to attract them? The space craft flew over their heads. Bulk frantically began snapping pictures with his camera. The space craft was soon out of sight. Bulk couldn't believe it. Bulk: I got the Power Rangers on film. Skull dug into his shirt pocket and pulled out a small canister. Skull: Bulkie, I have the film. Skull showed Bulk the film. Bulk was disgruntled and went back to reading his book.
Inside Serpentera, Lord Zedd had been chasing after the space craft as well. The space craft got away from Serpentera. Lord Zedd: The little alien thinks he got away. But I know where he crashed, Angel Grove. And soon his diamond power source shall be mine.
The space craft heads back towards Adam, Billy, and Aisha. They duck down once more. The space craft crashes into a tree. The three teens walk towards it. Billy is thrilled to see a space craft. Adam touches the space craft and winces, as it is still hot. Aisha takes a peek inside and thinks she sees a doll inside. Billy thinks it's more likely the person is hibernating to travel a long distance. The space craft is powered by a diamond, which Aisha thinks is beautiful. Billy contacts Zordon to let him know about the space craft.
Zordon tells Billy that explains why Serpentera is circling Angel Grove. Zordon instructs Billy to bring the space craft to the Command Center. Zordon tells them that Lord Zedd wants the diamond to super power his Serpentera. They need to bring the space craft to the Command Center.
Adam tries to pick it up, but the ship is still hot. Billy tells him to grab the picnic blanket. Adam takes off. Suddenly there are explosions around them. Lord Zedd has Goldar attacking them. Adam returns with the blanket. With the ship wrapped in a blanket, the three teens are able to teleport to the Command Center. Lord Zedd is furious with Goldar for not destroying the teens and getting the diamond from them. Serpentera needs to be recharge and they can't pursue the teens for the moment. Meanwhile, in the Command Center, all the teens have gathered. The ship is examined and it is damaged. Zordon instructs Billy to remove the diamond and place it in Bookala's lap. Billy does so. Zordon explains the Bookalas are a gentle race. The diamond revives Bookala and he is standing in the Command Center. Bookala repeats what they say in order to learn their language. Zordon knows Lord Zedd will continue to hunt down Bookala, and they need to help him get back home. Aisha volunteers to make a small toy that looks like Bookala, to trick Lord Zedd. Billy is able to repair the ship. Billy reassures Bookala that they will make sure he gets home okay. Adam, Aisha, and Billy teleport out of the Command Center and into a warehouse building. Aisha works on a duplicate doll, Billy repairs the ship, and Adam works on making a duplicate diamond. Out in the park, Skull is busy making chalk lines in the grass. Bulk is convinced this will attract the Power Rangers. Back at the warehouse, Bookala shakes a snow globe and tells them this is what his planet looks like. Billy wished it snowed in Angel Grove. Suddenly a wall comes down. Lord Zedd has sent down a monster. Weldo is after the diamond. The three teens morph. The three Rangers grab the space ship, the doll, and help Bookala escape from the building. Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy have been watching their friends in the viewing globe and know they need help. The three morph and head out to where the rest of the Rangers are. The Rangers are together when Weldo shows up and blasts Bookala. Blue Ranger makes sure Bookala is okay.
The Rangers contact Alpha 5 and have him teleport Bookala to safety. The Rangers then destroy Weldo. Lord Zedd and Goldar are back in pursuant of the diamond. The Rangers set up the fake Bookala and diamond and then they wait for Serpentera to arrive. Soon Goldar and several putties arrive. The Rangers "battle" the putties and Goldar. Goldar takes the fake diamond and teleports away. Lord Zedd is very impress when Goldar teleports into Serpentera. The "diamond" is placed and Lord Zedd is very confident that Serpentera is now invincible. Meanwhile, Bookala is teleported back to the Rangers. His ship is ready. Before Bookala leaves, he wants to leave a gift for Billy. Bookala makes it snow for a few moments. Billy hopes to explore planets one day as well. Bookala shrinks himself and safely takes off in his space ship. The Rangers wave goodbye to him. On his way home, Bookala passes Bulk & Skull in his space ship. Bulk gets very excited and begins snapping away with his camera. Bulk is confident he got pictures of the UFO. In Serpentera, Goldar and Lord Zedd soon discovered the diamond is a fake. Lord Zedd is furious and determined to get back at the Rangers. The small doll Aisha made is now a monster Bookala. The Rangers know this is not the real Bookala and have no problems battling him. Lord Zedd then has the monster Bookala grow to giant size. The zords are summon and the Megazord is formed. The Rangers battle and destroy the monster Bookala.
The next day the guys are working out at the Youth Center. Kimberly and Aisha come running in with a postcard from Trini, Jason, and Zack. Kimberly reads the postcard to her friends. Jason, Zack, and Trini are enjoying their experience in Switzerland, but they admit there is no place like home. Billy adds even if it is hundreds of thousands of miles away. Bulk & Skull enter the Youth Center and announced they have the identity of the Power Rangers. A crowd gathers around them, including Aisha, Kimberly, Adam, Billy, Rocky, and Tommy. Skull reaches into a packet of pictures and proudly displays the photo of the "Rangers". It turns out to be a bad picture of Bulk & Skull. Kimberly, Adam, Billy, Rocky, Tommy, and Aisha laugh along with the rest of the crowd. Bulk & Skull can't believe it.
