Squatt tampers with Billy's new machine that transfers thoughts, later causing Billy & Kimberly (and Bulk and Skull) to switch bodies. Meanwhile, Goldar's in possession of the magic lamp from planet K94 of the Wolf's Head Galaxy, containing the Genie inside which blocks himself from Zordon's detection.

Trivia for this Episode
Footage mostly adapted from Zyuranger episode 11 centering around the Genie befriending children who find his lamp, which made most of his footage unusable for Power Rangers except for the Zord battle.
The editing in this episode was particularly crude and heavily padded footage, with zero relation to the Zyuranger plot. Since none of the Genie costume is seen in American footage, it can be assume the suit was deemed too damaged at the last minute, requiring re-writes to the episode.
The machine actually caught on fire with the sparks and nearly injured the actors.
