Prince Gasket brainwashes his prisoner Tommy, and convinces him that he's the ruler of the Machine Empire, which opposes the "evil" Zeo Rangers. Bulk & Skull spot a ghost-like image of the Red Zeo Ranger at the lake, which turns out to be a holographic entryway which sucks in not only Jason, but the bumbling duo, as well! The Gold Ranger, trapped in an arena filled with spectator monsters, faces Altor, a monster drawing on Tommy's brainwaves for fighting techniques. Can Tommy be broken from the spell in time before he's turned to the dark side completely?
