"Root of Evil" is the twenty-second episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. It first aired on October 24, 2000 on UPN.

Overview

Zurg puts in action a plan to turn all the veggies on Jo-Ad into vicious, animalistic carnivores so as to (eventually) weaken the children of the galaxy by making them afraid to eat their vegetables; hence making it easier for him to take over at some unspecified point in the future (and make them painfully irregular).

Plot

A family is about to eat supper that the mom has cooked, Broccoli Surprise, when suddenly the broccoli inside comes to life and wreaks havoc.

Later, Team Lightyear is on the scene. While Mira, Booster, and XR investigate the mess the killer broccoli made, Buzz asks the parents about what happened.

While investigating, XR detects life readings and concludes that there is a mutagen in the vegetable remains, which can, for example, turn cucumbers into killer-cumbers, green beans into green beasts, and Brussels sprouts into...let's just say they're bad to begin with.

But as soon as XR relays this info to everyone, a screech comes from the kitchen. Suddenly, the Mom realizes it is an eggplant she left in the crisper drawer. Team Lightyear then go into the kitchen and kill the eggplant and send it off to Star Command for examination. But they accidentally destroy the kitchen in the process.

While in the kitchen, Booster finds a vegetable bag marked from Jo-ad, and realizes the killer veggies came from his home!

Later, Team Lightyear land on Jo-ad at Booster's home, where Booster immediately sees his childhood best friend, Buster, working in the field. They are soon joined by Booster's parents, Ma and Pa Munchapper, the latter of whom asks Booster to recite the ranger oath.

Later, Team Lightyear explains the situation regarding the mutant vegetables to the Munchappers, who claim they know nothing about it, but allow Team Lightyear to look around. As soon as the team, along with Buster, walk out of the house, Buster tells Booster that he will meet him at the silo and has to take care of something.

As soon as he runs off, he runs behind a pile of hay, pulls out a communicator of some kind, and activates it. Zurg then appears on the screen and asks Buster why he is calling. Buster then alerts the rangers' presence to Zurg but claims he can handle them.

After breaking contact with Buster, Zurg orders one of his Grubs to kill the rangers (he has a schedule to keep and thinks Buster is an idiot).
