The episode begins with Adam, Aisha and Billy in the Command Center. Adam is all worried for Rocky, Kimberly and Tommy, while Aisha is determined. I feel that this pretty much sums up their personalities. I love them. Zordon tells them he's located the book, although he doesn't know what book it is, so the three of them head down to the book fair to see if they can find the book that has the three missing rangers in it.
Meanwhile, the storybook!Trio are in a snowy cave. Rocky is very cold, even though he is wearing more clothing than anyone else. Logic says that he is hoping that they remember that body heat will warm them up. They should share some.
Back in Bulk and Skull's
At the bookfair, the Rangers are somehow really frustrated by the amount of books. I... don't understand. How can you be frustrated by books? (Okay, a book called "Know Your Iguana" could be frustrating. But. But. BOOKS.) They were making fun of the Grumble book, when it starts to glow, and they open the book to see the Storybook!Trio in the book. I don't even know.
Back in the storybook, Grumble shows up in the cave, and tells them that the monster that had been chasing them has been stuck by the snow or something ridiculous like that. They realize they might not get to the end of the book, and Tommy comes up with a really good plan. I'm not even being sarcastic this time! He decides that they should backtrack to the beginning of the book, and have the Magician break the spell on Grumble so the story can end and they can all go home. (Grumble gets my favorite line of the episode - "Couldn't you have picked on Dr. Seuss?")
Zordon notices that there's a new monster, and tells him its name. The roboturkey is called the Turkey Jerk. At first we thought it was an accidental masturbation joke, but... um... well, here's a sampling of dialogue from the episode.
"That turkey's a little hard to swallow!"
"Billy just needs a moment to rest!"
"Go at him from all sides at once."
"Wherever he turns there's a Ranger in his face."
"I just hope our strength holds up!"
"You've launched your last berry!"
Look, it isn't quite as awesome as the Oysterizer, but we were both laughing hysterically through the whole thing.
Anyway, the monster thinks that Bulk and Skull are its parents. Aww! The Turkey Jerk has two daddies! I feel this is oddly appropriate. Skull is worried that if the monster defeats the Rangers it will be their fault, but Bulk has faith in the Rangers. Oh, Bulk! ♥ Anyway, the three remaining Rangers beat the turkey jerk with the power cannon.
Inside the book, the magician is an asshole. An oddly bondage themed asshole, but I guess that's how this show rolls these days. He refuses to help them, and the storybook!Rangers are defeated. However, Aisha, who is reading along in the Command Center, has a plan. But it is NOT a good plan. She DRAWS IN THE BOOK AND THERE IS MUCH SOBBING. So, she makes the toys, and Grumble delivers them, and the book is now DAMAGED and I am all only able to express how I feel in caps and emoticons. >:(
As soon as Grumble gives the toys to the children, the Rangers are free. But Rita and Zedd aren't done with the book yet, and they send the grumpy bondage magician to attack Angel Grove. The Rangers call their Zords, and there's a fight, and it was completely unnecessary to the plot.
Later, at the bookfair, Ms. Applebee is pleased because they've raised a lot of money for the library. Adam is all excited that they got to be in a book. Tommy doesn't like fairytales, which might explain my problem with him. Bulk and Skull return their books, and Kimberly offers up the Grumble book to them instead. However, it appears that the spell is still on the book and Grumble waves at Bulk and Skull, who run away. Don't make them be scared of books, Rangers! This is BAD FORM.
Fish: 3. It was pretty average.
Billy speak: "If I can just figure out a way to alter their molecular structure"
Fic people should write us: Body heat sharing in the cave.
