Everyone at Root Core is fawning over Fire Heart, which annoys Jenji. He gets so jealous that he abandons Fire Heart in the forest, forcing Clare and everyone else to scramble to find him. Feeling guilty and unwanted, Jenji leaves, but if he doesn't return to his lamp within two hours, he will fade away forever. Meanwhile, the newest monster – Screamer – is turning everyone in Briarwood into feathers, including the Rangers. Only Jenji can save the day, but he's running out of time. Out in the forest, Fire Heart is found by an unlikely guardian: Phineas.
