Roxy leaves. Back at base, Commander tells Nate to activate them. He says Ben and Betty's unt isn't working. They access the camera and see it is apart. Zoey, Ben, and Betty came with ice cream.

He scolds Roxy for leaving the data chip behind. He makes a delta gigadrone and the detectors go off. All zords are deployed. Wrecker Zord goes into battle mode Beast X Megazord is formed. Gigadrone arrives and another comes out of him. It is a new Gigadrone. The two Megazords fight them. They destroy the Gigadrones. Devon apologizes and gives a carrot smoothie toe Zoey. She apologizes as well for being dishonest. They agree to be friends forever. Ben and Betty give him his new headset. Betty tells him about the shark. The shark comes and he freaks out and slips on a familiar skateboard (Chase's with the Kiwi on it) and Ben catches the headset. 

Episode Review:
A solid episode, the plot made sense and all the characters came together. The Ben and Betty plot was not forced in and meant more to the A plot. I did notice that there was very little Blaze in this episode.

GRADE: B
