Mighty Morphin' Mutants

Summary
Tommy is late to Miss Appleby's class. There, an assignment is given - ask a friend to point out your flaw and try to fix it.

Rita Repulsa decides to use the Badges of Darkness to create her own evil Rangers from Putties.

Tommy is sparring with Jason at the Youth Center. Afterwards, Tommy explains the homework. He forgot his water and a towel, so he asks Jason for a sip of his water and if he has an extra towel. Jason tells Tommy that his flaw is forgetfulness. Trini and Kimberly confirm Jason's assessment to Tommy. Bulk and Skull don't believe they have faults, but the girls and Tommy say that they're bullies.

Goldar is training six Putties, but one of them is too clumsy and is sent back to Finster's lab. The remaining set are given their own morphers. The Green and Pink Mutant Rangers are sent to attack Tommy and Kimberly in the park. Both are bested by their evil counterparts. Zordon informs his team of the new menace.

Billy and the gang help Tommy with his assignment. It doesn't seem work very well as Billy's planner device malfunctions and Tommy seems even more forgetful. The appearance of Commander Crayfish, the Red Ranger equivalent of the Mutant Rangers, causes Zordon to send the five main Rangers into action.

The two teams meet on the beach. Each Ranger fights their evil version. Tommy is contacted and he too joins the fight. The Power Rangers go back to the Command Center when the Mutant Ranger's own Power Blaster is too overwhelming. Zordon and Alpha give the six upgraded versions of their Power Weapons.

The Power Rangers' Power Blaster triumphs momentarily over Crayfish and his peers. However, Rita makes her monster and the Green, Blue and Black Mutant Rangers turn into giants. Commander Crayfish is hoisted up by his teammates so he's out of the range of both the Megazord and Dragonzord. Titanus is called for and Ultrazord destroys the enemies.

Tommy feels like he didn't complete his homework, but Billy says that a fault can also be what makes someone unique. Bulk and Skull come to school dressed in suits and are acting mature. They give Miss Appleby a present, but she tells them to open it for her. It sprays them in Silly String.
