Our episode opens up with the rangers chilling at Ernie's only for the five to notice a man in a bunny suit handing out bracelets to a crowd of people, including Fat Jack and Skinny Mack who both high-five after getting matching bracelets peaking the curiosity of Jamie who asks Ernie jr. what the heck is going on. Ernie jr. then explains to our heroes that the guy in the bunny suit was someone he found giving out these cool bracelets for free, showing the five teens that the bunny man gave one to him too. Ernie jr. goes on to say that while the guy never shows his face, inviting him here is great for business since he's been attracting more and more people to the youth center. Molly is intrigued by how cool looking the bracelets are and asks the guy in the bunny suit to give her one the bunny man then attaches it to her wrist with the other four looking in awe of how cool Molly's new bracelet is, even though she can't seem to take it off. the five then get a call from Alpha telling the rangers to report to the command center immediately. the five teens then exit the youth center Molly thanking the man in the bunny suit for the cool trinket before teleporting to the command center, Alpha asking Molly where she got that bracelet from. she then tells Alpha that she got it from a guy in a bunny suit at the Angel Grove youth center who was giving them away for free, since they seemed to be trendy she wanted one herself. Lance asks what the emergency is, and Zador tells our heroes to behold the viewing screen. the five look at the screen to see images of people all over Angel Grove turned to stone statues, Brenda asking what's going on. Zador tells them he doesn't know, which is why he wants the five to get to the bottom of this. the five then morph and summon their Megaforce cycles to speed onto the scene. upon arriving at downtown Angel Grove the five are shocked to see the streets filled with people who've mysteriously turned to stone, Austin asking if these are really people and Jamie wondering what could have caused this. the five then turn their heads to see Fat Jack and Skinny Mack walking down the street as the two struggle to get their bracelets off, Skinny Mack frustrated that it won't come off. Fat Jack tries to remove it for him, but it's no use with Fat Jack getting mad exclaiming "that bunny scammed us!" followed by gas coming out of both their bracelets turning the comedic duo to stone much to the shock of the rangers, Brenda pointing out how gas came out of the same bracelet she has which scares Molly. Robo Knight then arrives on the scene to ask the rangers what they're standing around for saying that there's an evil robot on the loose followed by said evil robot showing himself: Petrificus, who reveals to the rangers that he's the one who's been turning people to stone to prevent them from resisting against lord Gigatron. the five rangers and Robo Knight then fight Petrificus (cue Goseiger episode 37 fight). Petrificus is intrigued by the fact that a power ranger is wearing one, explaining that the meter on the bracelets measures frustration and that once her rage reaches a critical point it'll release the petrification gas. Molly exclaims "so YOU'RE the mysterious guy in the bunny suit who's been handing out bracelets at the youth center!" followed by Petrificus chuckling and briefly transforming into his bunny suit mascot form revealing his true identity to the rangers. Molly gets mad and is eager to pummel that robot into scrapmetal, however the four hold her back with Austin reminding her if she gets mad that bracelet will release the gas that turns her to stone, and he'd rather not lose her before punching her in the stomach knocking her out cold. Austin carries the unconscious Molly over his shoulder telling the others that they should take her back to the command center, maybe Alpha can find a way to remove her bracelet. Lance and Brenda summon a tornado with their power cards allowing the rangers to disappear without a trace. we then cut back to the underwater base where we see Gigatron congratulating Petrificus on a job well done for successfully testing out the experimental petrification technology, Cera saying that soon humanity will bend the knee to us. Gigatron then orders Petrificus to start mass-producing those bracelets. we then cut to the command center where we see Alpha attempt to remove Molly's bracelet, but with no success. Molly asks Zador what she's supposed to do now, and Zador tells her for now all she can do is remain calm. Molly gets frustrated and shouts "how am I supposed to remain calm when I could turn to stone at any minute!" followed by the other four telling Molly to calm down before she accidentally activates the bracelet. Brenda tells Molly to close her eyes and take deep breaths and she does causing the meter on the bracelet to go down. meanwhile Robo Knight enters the youth center to find that everyone (including Ernie jr.) has been turned to stone, calling the five rangers on his robo morpher to inform them of the situation. Alpha tells Molly that it'd be best for her to stay at the command center to avoid any potential hazards that could cause any form of frustration or discomfort. Lance, Austin, Jamie, and Brenda all teleport to downtown Angel Grove to meet up with Robo Knight who asks the four where the yellow one is. Lance tells Robo Knight that Molly had to stay behind, for her own safety before we cut to a silly montage of Molly and Alpha doing fun activities in the command center to keep her stress level down. after that, we cut to Petrificus teleporting to downtown angel grove to put on his bunny costume to con more people into buying his petrification bracelets only for the rangers to catch him in the act. the five then morph to fight the monster (cue Goseiger episode 37 second fight) with Petrificus asking where the yellow ranger is, and Brenda tells him that unfortunately she's not here the four rangers attacking Petrificus with their weapons. Petrificus then drops the bunny costume and tells the rangers "fine, then I'll just have to FORCE her out of hiding!" before hitting the rangers with a barrage of bullets only for the rangers to get saved by Robo Knight. the rangers then activate their guardian armor to join Robo Knight in the fight before we cut to Alpha in the command center watching the rangers getting pummeled by Petrificus from the viewing screen. Molly asks what's going on only for Alpha to block the view of the screen, assuring her that it's nothing to avoid stressing her out. Molly crosses her arms and demands Alpha to tell her the truth, followed by Alpha telling her that the rangers are getting overwhelmed with one member short. Molly's stress levels get higher making Alpha panick trying to calm her down by telling her one of Austin's jokes which makes her laugh before we cut to Petrificus attaching bracelets to Lance, Austin, Jamie, Brenda and Robo Knight before taunting them to get the five riled up. the rangers try to fight Petrificus but can't not wanting to risk getting turned to stone. however Robo Knight isn't affected and attacks Petrificus who asks why Robo Knight isn't affected, only for Molly to arrive on the scene to help her teammates by fighting Petrificus one-on-one. Austin asks Molly if she's angry, however Molly tells Austin no thanks to those Anger Management lessons she learned from Alpha, along with a joke she learned from Austin much to his surprise. Petrificus then fires a barrage of missiles that Molly deflects back at the monster followed by Molly telling Lance and Robo Knight to take over. Lance then combines with Robo Knight to form the battlizer flying around Dodging Petrificus's bullets before pelting Petrificus with a barrage of blasts of his own from his lion gattling gun gauntlets followed by finishing the monster off with his spinning sword causing everyone to become unpetrified (including Ernie jr., Fat Jack, and Skinny Mack) and their bracelets to fall off, Molly crushing hers under her boot followed by Lance and Robo Knight separating. Cera then summons the zombolts to make Petrificus grow followed by the rangers summoning the ultimate command and Robo Knight megazords (cue Goseiger episode 37 megazord fight) with the combined efforts of the two megazords finishing Petrificus off once and for all. after that, we cut to the rangers hanging out at Ernie's where we see Molly present her friends with a bunch of new friendship bracelets she made for them and our episode ends with the five putting on their friendship bracelets and putting their fists together.
