During a mission, the Rangers are alerted to a disturbance in the city and arrive to find a mysterious figure attacking civilians. This figure is Frax, a robot partner of Ransik's who has come to the present with a powerful Time Controlling Crystal.
Frax steals the crystal from the Time Force Rangers and gives it to Ransik, who has been trying to find a way to travel back in time to prevent his own mutation. Jen takes this opportunity to pursue Ransik and seek her revenge against him for killing Alex.

However, with some help from the other Rangers, they are able to defeat Ransik and destroy the Time Control Crystal.
The episode ends with Jen reflecting on the lesson she learned about controlling her emotions and not letting her desire for revenge cloud her judgment. She also comes to the realization that seeking revenge would not bring back Alex, and that it is important to focus on the present and future rather than dwelling on the past.
