Zack and Billy discover a pair of sunglasses that appear to be useful, but Lord Zedd secretly turns them into the center of a bizarre illusion. Anyone affected by the spell begins seeing Putty Patrollers instead of ordinary people, making it almost impossible for the Rangers to know what is real. The situation creates confusion inside the team as friends suddenly appear to be enemies. With Zedd’s magic interfering with their ability to recognize reality, the Rangers must find a way to break the illusion before they accidentally turn against one another.
