We're on the Animarium, and Danny and Max are carrying crates of stuff. Danny asks Max if he really wants to get rid of all the stuff their carrying. Max claims he's outgrown all that "stuff". Danny decides to look in the crate he's carrying, and sees something that's useful, and puts the box down. He gets some gold figure, which looks like a bowling ball and a guy. Max asks Danny what's he doing with that. Danny says that he didn't want it. Max immediately wants it, but Danny moves his arm away and asks why does he want it. Danny examines it closer and he says "1st place amateur?" (ha! Max is so bad he has to play in the kids league). Max grabs it away and Danny asks if it's really his. Danny tells Max that he didn't know he could bowl. Max says to forget it, and it's nothing, and walks away (what a chump, Max once again shows his kid-like traits).

We're with Jindrax and Toxica in a junk yard, behind a building. Toxica is moving a bunch of stuff and tells Jindrax to keep looking and that the Org spirit is their somewhere. Jindrax says he's looking, and kicks a box, and a blue bowling ball rolls out. Jindrax picks it up. Toxica asks if he's found anything. Jindrax tells Toxica that Master Org did tell them to strike hard at the rangers. Jindrax then shows a demonstration, and gives the ball a good roll. It rolls, then a fireball goes towards it (must be Master Org not wanting Jindrax and Toxica to fool around). The ball hits something and explodes, but we have a new Org. Toxica says they have just the Org for the job.

We see a red ball rolling. People are running, and people are flung into the air like they were sticks. Then, a car explodes. The red ball spins but stays in the same place. Bowling Org picks up the ball and claims he likes to bowl. Pins and people are the same to him. Toxica says that gives him a score of 60, in only two frames. Bowling Org says he's not good keeping score, but he sure is good knocking them down. Cole says "Stop right there", as the rangers come in flipping. Bowling Org is excited about "more pins". Cole says they're only their to get rid of him and his friends. Alyssa notes that Jindrax and Toxica have changed. Cole says well not enough, and the rangers yell their adjective and animal. Merrick is with them. They do the guardians of the earth thing, and the "Power Rangers Wild Force pose". Toxica tells Bowling Org that those are his pins and to knock them down. Bowling Org says "No problem" and stretches I guess. Cole wonders what he's doing. Bowling Org demonstrates and rolls the ball. Max finally figures out that Bowling Org is gonna roll them out. The ball hits the rangers, and they fly like pins. Toxica puts down another strike on the scorecard. Toxica notes it will be a new high score if he keeps it up. Bowling Org says it was nothing, that he does it all the time. Jindrax pulls Toxica to the side, and tells her that Bowling Org is not the brightest bowler in the lane, so he gives her an alternate plan. Bowling Org says his name and slaps his chest.

Alyssa is shown unmorphed, and asks everyone if they're ok. Cole asks if everyone is their (what, he can't look or count?). Alyssa asks how are they going to stop this org. Max says he knows how and tells everyone to "come". Danny's face is black and he's coughing as he gets up.

We're in a bowling alley now. The rangers walk in minus Merrick (guess he had duties back at the bar). Cole asks Max if he used to bowl, and Max says "yeah" (I thought Cole knew nothing about the human world, all of a sudden he knows the sport bowling?). Danny tells Cole he should see his "trophiiiy" (as said by Danny). Max says when he worked in the alley, some guy taught him. He wanted to go pro but something came up (they didn't allow kids). Max says if he can find him, he can teach him his famous "Tornado Spin" so they can defeat the Org. Some guy is mopping the floor. Max asks the guy if he's seen Don. The guy says he doesn't know Don. Max acts like if the guy knows anything about pro bowling, and says that Don is a pro bowler. The guy repeat that he doesn't know Don (pesky Max). He walks away. Then, Max realizes that the guy mopping the floor is Don, and asks if that's him. The guy seems embarassed, and asks what he wants. Max says he needs his help in teaching him his Tornado Spin. Don says he can't help him he doesn't bowl anymore. Max puts his hand on his shoulder and yells "Please!". Max asks Don if he can do it just for him. Don looks at Max and tells him that he had his chance and he threw it away. Max seems like he's going to cry, but continues to try and convince Don to come back.

We see Don Johns mopping the floor now with Max approaching him. Max takes a long look and looks back on his short bowling carrer. We see a shot of Max from behind (looks like Kobe Bryant as Max is wearing yellow). He tells himself that he remembers when Don first started helping him. Max is ready to bowl, as he's in his stance. Don is just standing a few feet from him and goes over to him. Don asks Max if he wants to learn to be a pro bowler and calls him "kid". Max says he's not a kid (WHAT? If he's a kid now, he's DEFINITELY a kid back then). Don backs off but tells Max that his fingers are in the wrong places. We see Max in the present now as Don is putting his mop in the bucket. Now we see Max walking home at night with a bag on his shoulder, practicing his stroke. Then, some lady is screaming and we see an Org's shadow. Max starts running towards the scene. An Org is standing on a car with two girls lying on the asphalt, looking scared (why don't they just run). The Org says he's never terrorized humans before. Max, acting like the kid he is, runs but runs right into a trash container and falls down (Nelson Mutts : HA HA!). Max looks back and is probably telling himself he is a kid. Actually he decides to take the bag and attempt to swing it at the Org, but misses, and orders the Org to leave them alone. He tells the girls to go. The Org takes a look at Max and tells him he'll do just fine. He throws Max right into a car's front windshield and Max's head breaks the glass. The Org then picks Max up and throws him to the ground. Max then gets his bowling ball out of his bag and throws it at the Org but misses (so that's why Max doesn't bowl anymore, he's too scared to admit to Don he threw his ball away). The Org tells Max that he's got more games then that and he calls Max "kid". Then, Taylor and Alyssa arrive on the scene and order the Org to stop. They run towards the Org and kick him and he falls right on the car roof. Max watches. Taylor kicks his leg and then Alyssa sweeps his leg and the Org falls to the asphalt. Alyssa says to finish the Org but the Org vanishes. Max says that was the bomb. Alyssa asks Max if he's ok. Max looks at them funny. Then, Max sees something glow in his jeans (must have wetted himself) and takes out a glowing, blue ball. He looks at it funny, and then Alyssa says she can't believe it, that he has one. Alyssa and Taylor demorph. Alyssa is smiling at Max, as Max is shocked and asks who they are. Max tries to get up but he feels hurt. Alyssa asks where are his parents. Taylor just looks. Max asks Alyssa what she's talking about. Taylor uses her Growl Phone and asks Princess Shayla if Max is the guy (so how did Max become a ranger? Did he cry or something?) since he's just a kid (just what I was thinking, that's like the fifth time someone has used the word "kid" in conjunction with Max). Max claims he's not a kid. Then, Max is now at the bowling alley as Max got a new ball that's gold. Max narrates that when he first told Don, he says with his mouth that he has to do what he has to do (I would rather bowl if it were up to me). Don just stands their and shakes his head as Max goes over to Taylor and Alyssa. They walk off. We're in the present now and Max looks like he's going to wet his pants. Don is pulling the lever to squeeze the water from the mop. Max goes over and tells Don he was sorry he disappointed him before but he had to go. Don looks like he wants nothing to do with Max. The other rangers approach Don. Max pleads with Don as he says they really need his help. Don says it's a little to late for that. Cole goes over and tells Don to please forgive Max. Cole says he had a lot of work to do last time and he still does. Cole goes on to say they'll return the favor somehow. The other rangers go over and Cole tells Don that Alyssa is a great cook and he'll make him whatever he wants (how can Don refuse now? sure beats Big Macs as that looks as if Big Mac's are the only thing Don has been eating his whole life). Cole points to Taylor and says she can organize the whole place. Cole goes on with Danny but stumbles as he doesn't know what to say about him. Danny tries to say something but the words don't come out. Cole says that Danny can wash his bowling balls (What about Max? Guess he can be champion of the 10 and under league). Danny's face turns. Don says he doesn't want their help. He says he doesn't work with quitters and tells the rangers to get out of his way and to leave him alone. Danny decides to run into Don and tells Don that he's wrong about Max and adds in a "sir". He says he's loyal and dedicated, and he'll make "you" proud. Don turns his head, and tells Danny that he once thought that. He walks away.

We're at a lane in the same alley now as Max picks up a ball and starts rolling. He knocks down all but one on his first roll, all but three on the next, and the same on his third, and Max is frustrated (Don shouldn't be upset because Max had no potential in the first place). Max waits for his ball and Danny puts a hand on Max's shoulder and says to let it go. Max picks up the ball, and says to himself he'll never give up. He breathes in a few times, and rolls it but holds on to the ball and the ball goes flying and Max hurts his wrist and falls to the ground (sheesh, what a klutz). Danny helps him up and tells Max he has to stop and he can't do this. Max screams he can and he's not a quitter like Don says and is about to cry. Taylor says they know that and Alyssa says that he doesn't have hurt himself to prove anything. Cole says they'll find another way to defeat the Org. Max says the only way to defeat Bowling Org is with the Tornado Spin (or getting the Megazord and squashing him, why don't the rangers ever try this? it seems if the bad guys are always the first to make their monsters grow). Max tries again as he picks up a ball, but Don stops him and tells Max that he'll hurt his wrist like he did (maybe he's telling Max this since he feels sorry for Max on how much he's gonna pay). Don looks at Max and then reveals a smile. He then says "ok" and the other rangers laugh for a milli-second. Don picks up a ball with two hands and goes to the lane with Max. Danny celebrates by swinging his hand.

We're with the new Toxica and Jindrax, and Bowling Org in the harbor. Toxica asks about where are the "pesky" rangers (they've been standing there the whole time and they could have been attacking? No wonder evil never prevails). We see Merrick on top of some construction stuff. He says he knows where one is, "right here" (Merrick has a really bad voice while in costume). He tells them the Lunar Wolf Ranger is at their service, and then jumps like 300 feet down. He gets his Lunar Cue, in sabre mode. Toxica tells Bowling Org to strike him out. Bowling Org says he'll pin him first. He's holding two pins, and charges at Merrick, as Merrick does the same.

We see Don ready to bowl. He just looks, as his eyes are focused, and then rolls the ball as the lane is consumed in fire and when the ball hit the pins, they exploded (the Tornado Spin is just a phony way to get a strike, if you can't knock 'em down, blow 'em up!). The rangers are impressed, as the lane is in smoke. Cole says they have to go. Max says he won't disappoint him like last time. Don says he knows he won't, and brings Max to the side and gives him a gold ball, which he says is his lucky ball (that's the same ball Max gave back to him when he quit, so Don must have thought highly of Max). Don says it never left him down and puts his hand on Max's shoulder. Max smiles.

We're at the battle scene, with Merrick hitting Bowling Org pretty good, but Bowling Org getting in shots with his bowling pins. Merrick then kicks off a wall and then drop kicks Bowling Org but lands on his feet. Bowling Org tells Merrick that if that is all he gots, he's throwing gutter balls. Merrick says he's just warming up and maybe he'll like his next shot. Bowling Org says this isn't billiards, and cue sticks can't stop bowling balls (Merrick's cue stick is abnormal and pretty powerful to me). Merrick calls for Lunar Cue Break Mode. Bowling Org says he's asking for it. Merrick tells Bowling Org to bring it to him. Bowling Org gets ready to bowl and says "strike one you're out". He rolls it and Merrick points his Lunar Cue but it just rolls up like it was a ramp and hits Merrick in the chest, making Merrick fly backwards. Merrick rolls for a few feet and tells himself the bowling ball was more powerful than he thought. Bowling Org says that he sees he's not all the way down, but he will be. Then, a camera shot off, someone says he doesn't think so, and that's Max. Max is shown holding his gold ball. Merrick screams Max's name. Bowling Org asks Max if he thinks he can bowl against him. Max laughs and says he's beaten much better. Bowling Org says to then spare him. The two stare each other down holding their bowling balls. Max says he was born ready. Max says "Let's roll" and Max follows through with his stroke. Max rolls and yells "Tornado spin" as we get a background of what looks like a sketched bowling alley, and the same with Bowling Org. The two balls collide but Max's goes through and hits Bowling Org and he's flying through the screen. Max somewhat celebrates and asks him if he's ready to admit defeat. Bowling Org says he's not through yet. The other rangers come running to Max and Cole says "All right Max! You knocked his bowling ball away." Merrick also joins the other rangers. Max clenches his fists and says they still need to combine their weapons. They make the Jungle Sword and Merrick gets his Lunar Cue into break mode. Both weapons are shown in their firing modes as the Jungle Sword fires and the animal crystals are hit right into Bowling Org. He falls and explodes. Toxica then makes the pile of ooze grow. The rangers call their normal Wild Zords, and Merrick calls his. The zords combine and the Soul Bird enters the megazord. The Wild Force Megazord is ready, as the transformation for the Predazord is complete. Bowling Org in mega size says his bowling ball is back and there's gonna be trouble. From a wide shot, Bowling Org looks way shorter than the two megazords. Back to the action though, Bowling Org bowls his ball and creates a line of fire and sends the Wild Force Megazord 100 feet high, and it explodes, causing the Wild Zords to disassemble and the rangers to the ground. Bowling Org yells "Next!". Merrick calls for Predator Wave as the next ball is rolled. The megazord is hit and Merrick falls. The other rangers come to him and Merrick says that the Bowling Org is too strong and they have to find another way to stop him. Bowling Org says he's tired of playing with them and attempts to step on the smaller rangers. Alyssa says they can't win without their megazords. Cole asks anyone if they have any ideas. Taylor wonders if there's another way they can form another megazord. Merrick says his alligator is damaged. Max says his shark is too. Alyssa says the tiger is too. Cole asks Merrick how are the wolf and hammerhead doing. The Wolf and Hammerhead Wild Zords are shown to be jumping around. Merrick says that he thinks they're ok. Cole thinks to himself that if they combine them with the remaining Wild Zords, there's a good chance they can pull this off. Merrick says to do it. Merrick calls for Hammerhead and Wolf, and Cole calls for lion, bison, and eagle. The Wild Force Megazord is shown, just in the body with no arms. Some new arms are attached (wolf and hammerhead shark) and the rangers board the Soul Bird (why didn't they just use the Bears or the Kongazord for freakin sake). Cole says "Wild Force Megazord, Predator mdoe". Bowling Org says they have nothing left to bowl with. Max says they do, and to call for the Armadillo zord. Taylor inserts it into her Crystal Sabre and the Armadillo zord is put right on the left arm. Bowling Org tells the rangers to give them a break, they call the Armadillo Zord a bowling ball? He goes onto say let a pro show them how to do it. He rolls the ball, and Max in the cockpit calls for the Tornado Aramdillo Spin. The megazord spins for awhile and then flings the Armadillo and hits Bowling Org pretty hard. Max yells "STRIKE!". Bowling Org is going for one last charge but is walking slowly and says they haven't won the game.......yet. He finally falls and blows up, and the rangers celebrate in the cockpit and Merrick celebrates below. Jindrax says "blasted rangers" and Toxica claims they'll get them next time.

We're back in the alley, with the rangers. To the right, is a Pepsi-cola machine but the word "Pepsi" is taped up. People could probably tell it was still a Pepsi machine. We see Don now who probably has quit scrubbing toilets and floors and is telling kids now that they're doing great but Lee has the style he wants (whoever Lee is). We see the Rangers going towards Don and nugging Max to go to Don. Max goes up to him after "Lee" has bowled. Max presents him with his ball. Max says thanks. Don says that whenever Max is done doing whatever he's doing, maybe he can consider a bowling carrer again (Feb. 2003). Max just stares, and then just laughs. Don tells Max to step aside and calls him "kid" again and tells Max how it's done. Danny, from the back, says "he's not" but Max says it's ok. Don rolls it but rather weakly, but all the pins go down adn the crowd goes wild. There was no line of fire or pins exploding. Wonder why. I also wonder why a bowling carrer is more important to Don than saving the world. Although if the world is on the line, I'm sure Max isn't the best choice for the job, although he was chosen...
