Plot

Bulk and Skull are selling tickets to the school's youth ball, and Kimberly is quite enthusiastic about the idea of ​​attending and encourages Tommy to buy some tickets, much to Skull's jealousy.

Meanwhile in the palace, Lord Zedd energizes Serpentera for a second honeymoon trip with Rita Repulsa, and he orders Goldar to watch over Finster's work on creating a new monster while he's away.

Finster creates Miss Chief and equips the monster with a love potion gun, he accidentally tells Rito Revolto that the same potion was used previously by Rita to bewitch Lord Zedd causing him to fall in love with her.

Rito Revolto contradicts Finster and tests the love potion on Miss Chief, making her automatically fall in love with him and obey all his orders. Rito sends the invisible monster to the school where she begins to use the potion of love indiscriminately on everyone she meets along the way. First, Miss Chief sprays Kimberly, causing her to fall madly in love with Skull, much to his delight and Tommy's dismay, then she sprays Lt. Stone and Mr. Caplan who both fall in love with Ms. Appleby (much to her dismay), and finally sprays Bulk by making him fall in love with Aisha. The unusual behavior of Kimberly and several people at school causes the Rangers' to be suspicious.

Goldar has resented losing his post to Rita Repulsa as future conqueror of the universe, and determined to prove his worth to Lord Zedd, goes to Earth with a group of Tengas initiating an attack against the Rangers in their Ninja forms, but soon he loses the fight and is forced to retreat. Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa also face particular problems on their honeymoon trip as Serpentera's energy begins to run out since Rito Revolto hadn't fully fueled it, forcing them to interrupt their journey and return to the palace.

In the Command Center, Zordon scans Kimberly and discovers the influence of Miss Chief's love spell on her and warns the other Power Rangers about the dangers of the spell, as it reduces the common sense of individuals leaving them vulnerable to attack. Rito Revolto reveals to Goldar about the love potion used by Rita on Lord Zedd, and he concludes that the potion was responsible for forcing the marriage between the two, believing that Zedd never truly loved Rita but rather is influenced by the spell.

Goldar quickly demands that Finster create an antidote that is capable of removing the effects of the love potion, and sends it while invisible to Earth to test it on the bewitched humans. Finster creates the antidote and disrupts the activities of Miss Chief at the school using the antidote on all those who have been affected by the love spell. The love potion is used one last time by Miss Chief on Rita Repulsa, making her fall in love with Goldar, but soon Finster breaks the spell for the relief of Goldar himself.

Lord Zedd sends Miss Chief to attack the park and the Rangers are informed by Zordon about his return. The Rnagers arrive in the park and engage Miss Chief. Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa turn Miss Chief into a giant, forcing the Rangers to invoke the Ninja Megazord to confront her. Tommy summons the Falconzord, forming the Ninja MegaFalconzord, and defeats Miss Chief.

In the palace, Goldar tells Finster to use the antidote to remove the love potion on Lord Zedd in hopes of overriding Rita's former spell and returning things as they once were, but to his frustration Lord Zedd has truly fallen in love with Rita Repulsa, even without the help of the love potion.

At the ball, Kimberly apologizes to Tommy for her behavior and notes that she wasn't very nice to Skull and goes with him, who's still depressed. Kimberly apologizes to Skull and asks him if they could still be friends; he happily agrees and they dance together.
