At the Shiba House, Ji trains the Rangers about their inherited Symbols. Ji stands behind Traci. She starts to get nervous. Her hand shakes from side to side as she paints her symbol. It came out messy, and the symbol didn't activate.
"I'm sorry, Ji," Traci says.
"It's fine, you've mastered the stroke order, and that's the most important part," Ji says.
Mike groans loudly. Ji walks over to Mike. He watches Mike struggles with his Symbol power.
"Mike, this isn't right," JI says.
Traci walks over to Ji. She sees Mike's attempts at drawing his symbol.
"Mike, nice try, but the order of the strokes is wrong," Traci says.
"I know, and I'd like to see you do better," Mike says.
"Mike, I can't draw your symbol for you, but I do know how to write your name," Traci says.
"Traci, you know Japanese," Kevin says.
"I can't speak it. I know how to write it and read it." Traci says.
"Traci, you can show him later. Mike, you need to practice more, okay?" Ji says.
"Okay, how about I try again after lunch," Mike says.
"Mike, I don't think eating some food will help," Traci says.
"How do you know that? " Mike asks.
"My mom always said that food should never be used to fix a problem," Traci says.
Mike rolls his eyes. A few hours later, Traci is practicing her symbols. She paints the same symbol she did earlier, except this one has crisp, clean lines and activates when she completes the final stroke. Jayden walks outside a few to see a bunch of snowflakes floating around Traci. He walks over to her. "Nice job,"
"Thanks," Traci says.
"How come you couldn't do that earlier?" Jayden says.
"Yeah, let's just say that I have stage fright and leave it at that," Traci says.
Traci picks up the easel and carries it inside. She puts it back where she found it. Jayden heads to the kitchen while Traci heads to her room. The Gap Sensor alerts the Rangers to an attack. They run into the living room.
"I thought that my alarm clock was bad," Mike says.
"What is that," Traci says.
"It's the gap sensor," Ji says.
"I guess it tells us when a nighlok escapes?" Traci says.
"It tells us when it comes through a gap to the netherworld," Ji says.
"Where is it?" Traci asks.
"It's at city hall," Ji says.
The Rangers head into the city. The Rangers arrive to see the Nighlok of the day and some Moogers.
"My mom always told me to be nice to everyone and treat them with respect, but there is no way I can be nice to something that strange looking," Traci says.
"Traci, you don't have to be nice to a nighlok. They're evil." Kevin says.
"Hello, rangers, I'm Scorpionic. Master Xandred sent me here to destroy you," Scorpionic says.
"That's not going to happen, nighlok," Jayden says.
The Rangers morph and charge into the fray. They summon their weapons to clear out the Moogers. Jayden begins the attack Scorpionic. Traci uses her hail symbol. It creates a huge stone. It flies over towards them and knocks Jayden to the ground. The Nighlok takes the opportunity to blast them. Jayden gets to his feet and runs over to his new friends. Traci gets to her feet slowly. A dizzy spell hits her, and she drops to her knees.
