Five teenagers, who hang out in an average bowling alley, and occasionally use their karate skills to fend off a gang of mean bullies, are summoned to save the world by an intergalactic being named Zoltar. He gives them the power to become Power Rangers, and to call upon giant dinosauric robots called Droids to combat the forces of space witch Rita Repulsa.

NOTE: Ran only 16 minutes long.
The interior design of the Command Center is entirely different. As is that of Alpha 5's body (though his voice is the same). Zordon is called "Zoltar", and is a big GREEN head in a tube, with a more articulated face. Zack is listed as "Zach". And of course, Trini is played by an entirely different actress than in the series.
The "Flyguy" monster will later be used on the series, named "King Sphinx", in the "A Pressing Engagement" episode.
Finster's voice is the only one of the Evil Space Aliens to be different, and his voice actor is currently unknown.
A slightly edited version of this episode finally aired in the Power Rangers: The Lost Episode special, with the opening credits removed, some of the fight against the bullies cut out, and the word "Droids" changed to "Zords."
The only scene (aside from Sentai footage) from this pilot to make it into the final version of "Day Of The Dumpster" is the explosion in the desert Rita fires at the teens as they walk away from the Command Center. Also, a close-up shot of the two confusion Putties ends up appearing in "Foul Play In The Sky".
Paul Schrier, who'll go on to play Bulk on the show for many years, has a small roll as an unnamed bully with very wild hair.
If you notice Billy's glasses are different. On the original VHS release of the First 5 MMPR VHSs, on the back their the same glasses, and that's why Billy's glasses don't match up with the ones he wore in the show.
Footage cut for the Lost Episode that appeared in the pilot includes numerous punches and kicks to the bad guys' heads - during the bully fight at the bowling alley, the unmorphed Putty fight, and the morphed Sentai Putty fight. The Sentai head-shots didn't end up appearing in the normal aired version of "Day of the Dumpster" either.

| 1. Day of the Dumpster |
|
|
When a strange planetoid appears near the moon, two astronauts are sent to investigate. They discover an ancient space dumpster, and mistakenly open it, freeing the Evil Space Aliens trapped within for the past 10,000 years.
Intergalactic sorceress Rita Repulsa and her goons (Goldar, a golden armored Ape/Griffin; Baboo, a blue-furred flying monkey; Squatt, Baboo's stout impish pal; and Finster, a white dog-like inventive creature) set their sights on the nearby planet, Earth. Luckily, the mystical sage behind Rita's original imprisonment, Zordon of Eltar, has remained there (trapped in a Time Warp, limiting him to appearing as just a transmission of his head inside of a large plasma tube), awaiting her eventual escape.
At his Command Center building, he has his robotic assistant, Alpha 5, seek out a group of five brave teenagers with attitudes to combat the aliens. Alpha plucks five friends from a Juice Bar in the town of Angel Grove, California.
They're reluctantly given Power Morphers, which enable them to transform their bodies into magical suits empowered by the spirits of dinosaurs. After facing Rita's foot-soldiers, the Putty Patrollers, the five teens are convinced of the danger, and agree to become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Jason, the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger; Zack, the Black Mastodon Ranger; Billy, the Blue Triceratops Ranger; Trini, the Yellow Sabertooth Tiger Ranger; and Kimberly, the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger.
Together, they can call forth massive fighting machines based on their respective dinos, and combine those into a single huge humanoid robot Megazord. They use the Megazord to run off Goldar, who attacks Angel Grove and with Rita's magic, soon grows gigantically. After the successful battle, the five teens agree to help Zordon & Alpha 5 defend the Earth for as long as it takes.

NOTE: First episode of "MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS".
The majority of the Yellow Rangers that were female on Power Rangers are male in the Sentai Version (generally, the only ones with skirts were female in both).
The Command Center is better known as the Brandeis-Bardin Institute, a Jewish college that has also been used in many other shows other than Power Rangers, such as Star Trek: The Next Generation
Available in North America on the Power Rangers Power Playback - Classic Ranger Edition - "Red Ranger" VHS.
Goldar is the first evil space alien to make a US footage appearance, in close-up face shots in Rita's lunar palace.
The second scene of the episode involving the five teens, with Billy, Bulk & Skull in karate class, was actually shot for the "Dark Warrior" episode. Hence why the teens wear the Communicators here they don't actually get until the next episode! Seems the originally shot scene for this episode had the teens being what the network considered was "too mean and violent to Bulk and Skull". That scene has NEVER been seen publically, but they're reportedly wearing the same clothes in it as they are in the first and third scenes of this episode.
An alternate shot of the Rangers being teleported from the Youth Center for the first time can be found in the opening credits.
Two long shots from the original pilot are present in this episode. The first is when the Rangers walk out of the the Command Center and the second is when the teens are ambushed by the Putty Patrol. If you look closley you can tell that they are wearing different clothes and that Audri Dubois (who played Trini in the pilot) is present.

Ernie's Youth Center & Juice Bar sponsors an International Food Festival, in cooperation with Angel Grove High. The five Ranger teens are among those involved. Rita sends down Finster's latest creation, the aptly named Pudgy Pig, to consume the festival's food supply, as well as anything else he can fit into his hungry mouth. Pudgy Pig even ends up eating the Rangers' Power Weapons! A weak spot is noticed, involving his dislike for spicy foods, and soon the monster's eating binge comes to a close when chopped in half by the Megazord. The International Food Festival also meets a messy demise, when Bulk & Skull start an uncontrollable food fight.

The five Ranger Teens begin to settle into their new roles as protectors of both Angel Grove, and the entire planet. Billy, the genius boy in blue, invents a series of silver watchbands with which they can both talk to each other, and teleport to the Command Center (the Communicators). Meanwhile, at her evil palace on the moon, Rita Repulsa schemes to do to the Rangers what she did to Zordon long ago. With the help of Finster's device, she attempts to trap the Power Rangers inside of a strange Time Warp dimension. If that wasn't bad enough, Billy gets backed up to the top ledge of a mountain by some Putties. Trini, deadly afraid of heights, must confront her fear to help him out. The Rangers escape the Time Warp, and triumphantly fight two of Finster's creations: a skeletal warrior named "Bones", and a giant... umm... "Giant" monster.

Originally the plot of this episode was to be very similar to its Zyuranger counterpart. Kimberly was supossed to take a bite out of a poisoned apple and fall into a deep sleep ala Snow White. The reason for the change in plots is unknown but some scenes made it into the aired version. In the command centre Zack is kneeling on the floor beside Kimberly who can not be seen. As Alpha walks from the veiwing glode you can just see Kim lying down at the bottom of the screen. And finally when Trini says "Alpha take care of Kimberly." she points down to where Kim is lying.

The second scene of the five teens from "Day Of The Dumpster" was originally shot for this episode, but removed during pre-production to cover for a scene that needed replacing before the show could be aired. Hence, the line here of Billy "reenrolling" in Jason's karate class was dubbed in afterwards to cover for that early use of footage of him in the class from this show.

NOTE: In production order, this is the first time Squatt appears in US footage.
The pyrotechnics used in Billy's brain-switching machine caused both Amy Jo Johnson and David Yost to catch on fire during filming. Amy Jo would later be wary of being too close to such SFX because of it.
Originally the sory line of this episode was a little different. Kim and Billy still switch bodies and Rita creates the Genie. However in the original script Zack takes the lamp from Rita causing the Genie to take sides with the Power Rangers. After Rita makes a new lamp, a battle ensues for supremacy. Before Rita can use her lamp it is destroyed by the Rangers and the Genie is in their contol for good.

She has her Putties kidnap him, and bring him to the moon. There, Rita places a spell over Tommy, turning him into the evil Green Power Ranger! Using his Dragon Power Coin, Tommy infiltrates the Command Center, gives Alpha 5 a virus, and trashes most of the control consoles. Zordon attempts reasoning with him, but fails, and gets cut off from our dimension. The Green Ranger then fights the other Power Rangers in battle, and with the Evil Space Aliens' help, takes our heroes by surprise while they're in their Megazord.

NOTE: Jason David Frank begins his lengthy run as Tommy, and his legendary career as the Green Ranger, with this episode.
Throughout the rest of the appearances of the Green Ranger, suit would constantly change depending on whether US or Sentai footage was used. The Sentai shots had a strong foam Dragon shield and long black Dragon Dagger holster, but in US shots the Dragon Shield appears to made of a very flimsy material and is much larger, and he either has no holster or a white one with Blade Blaster much of the time.
The Putties now have belts in the US footage, with the exception of "The Trouble With Shellshock" up to "Life's A Masquerade"
Rita Repulsa makes her first US footage appearance during the "I have chosen you!" shots of her standing about the alley. She'll appear again a few times throughout this mini-series, but doesn't appear in US footage again until next season's "The Mutiny (1)".
Most versions (since as the original broadcast versions) of this mini-series have the onscreen titles as "Green With Evil, Part (roman numeral for the part number)". But during some repeats and secondary video releases, the onscreen titles were changed to the singular-story type ones listed above (ie, this episode is "Out Of Control").

Soon, after a successfully training run on the beach, Rita gives Tommy the Sword Of Darkness, which acts as a catalyst for keeping him under her evil spell permanently. Our heroes remain at a loss for a plan, but devote as much time into it as they can. Because of that, Jason informs Tommy at school that he'll be unable to work out with him later. Unbeknownst to Jason, the possessed Tommy then teleports him to the Dark Dimension! Trapped, with no way out, no way of morphing, and no way of contacting his teammates, Jason faces Goldar alone...

As the other Rangers fight the nigh-invincible Super Putties, Zordon sends Jason & Tommy off to retrieve new weapons. They face a strange metal creature known as Titanus, and learn teamwork in the face of adversity. The Super Putties are wiped out, and Zordon reveals that Titanus is an old friend, who'll act as a Carrierzord for the Megazords, with which they'll create the Ultrazord!

The Ranger teens are involved with a stage play of Rumplestiltskin at Angel Grove High. Kim's grandmother's antique spinning wheel is used as a prop. Bulk, as the title character in the play, nearly breaks it, and Kim freaks out. Rita sends her goons down to capture the wheel, and turn it into an evil Wheel Of Destruction. The Megazord faces the giant wheel, destroys it, but luckily, it reverts back to its original form, unharmed, just in time for the play, which is unusually short.

There's a dance coming up, but Tommy's got cold feet about asking Kimberly to it. On the moon palace, Rita unviels her master plan concerning her former employee, the Green Ranger. It seems that when he was working for her, he touched some magic wax, which is now linked to his Morphing powers. By turning the wax into a Green Candle, and lighting it, his powers will slowly fade away. To help ignite this into action, the Cyclops monster is sent to Earth. It mimics the Dragonzord, and begins to rampage through the city. Tommy is sucked into the Dark Dimension, and fights with Goldar, while his teammates face the Cyclops. He proves to be too powerful for them alone. The Green Ranger escapes from Goldar, and prepares to battle Cyclops. Everything is going as planned, as the Green Candle continues burning down...

The Ultrazord destroys the mimicking monster, but it's too late for Tommy. He and the other Rangers return to the Command Center, and watch as his Green Ranger powers dissipate. Before all is lost, though, he passes his Dragonzord coin to Jason. The Red Ranger can now draw upon the remnants of the Green powers, to summon the Dragonzord and use the golden chest shield. Tommy says goodbye to his former teammates, even though he'll still be a Power Ranger in spirit. He manages to get up enough courage to ask Kim to the dance. She happily agrees, and they share a rare kiss by the lake.

NOTE: This was the last episode originally ordered by Fox Kids. When it became an overwhelming success, they optioned 20 more for the season.
In a U.K Power Rangers Episode Guide which chronicled every episode until 1996 (when it ceased publication), the original ending to "Doomsday Part 2" was accidently printed rather than the real version, the original ending is similar to Zyuranger's finale, with the Rangers trapping Rita and her minions in an urn, albiet without the final scene where Goldar's Sentai counter-part becomes a father...
In subquesant re-prints of the episodes in later editions of the Episode Guide (when the rights to Zeo were sold elsewhere and the episode guide could'nt continue) this mistake was NEVER corrected.

The monster's eventually defeated with the Ultrazord, and Kelly gets freed from evil by use of her horrid cheers. She makes the squad, but you could easily guess that much.

It turns out there IS something a Ranger teen isn't good at. Namely, Tommy, who struggles to make the Angel Grove High football team. His karate training messes up his coordination, but Ernie, who used to be a Quarterback or something, helps him out. Rita sends down the Rhinoblaster monster to face the other Power Rangers, in a game of football with a squad of Putties. Long story short, Tommy makes the team, but then again, so does uber-geek Billy. We never see them play any games, so the team must be honorary only.

Miss Appleby assigns her class to find their personal fault, and attempt to correct it. Tommy's is obvious, he's incredibly forgetful! His teammates try to help out, but he forgets to use the things they made him to keep from forgetting. Meanwhile, Rita has Goldar specially train a group of Putties. Only five pass the tests, and are given the Badges Of Darkness, allowing them to morph into exact evil doubles of the Yellow, Pink, Blue, Green, and Black Rangers. To replace Red, the Commander Crayfish monster is created. These evil Rangers give the real ones a run for their money, with most of them even growing large during the Megazord battle!

He seeks a pair of pearls earrings to give to Angela, but is unable to afford any. Zack finds a strange hustler at the park, who gives him a pair real cheap. It turns out, the hustler was a putty in disguise, and the pearls are the evil Pearls Of Stillness!
Angela happily puts them on, and freezes everyone in the resturant. Zack & Tommy are the only ones unfrozen, and must fight Rita's Oysterizer monster to undo the pearl's effects. The duo do so, but Angela's angered about the disintergrating earrings. The Rangers, in the Megazord & Dragonzord, take on Oysterizer under water!

The Ranger teens take part in a charity 4-wheeler race on Earth. But up on the moon, things are far from routine. Rita Repulsa and her gang plan yet another attack, when Lord Zedd, Rita's boss and evil overlord, returns to our galaxy!
The tall, skin-less, metal-plated face, tubed-veined man arrives, and has Rita placed in another Space Dumpster. She's failed once too often for his tastes, and she has to go. Goldar quickly changes allegances, helping to shrink Rita down and shoot her off into the depths of space forever. Zedd alters most of the castle, and changes the Putty Patrollers into white-suited armored Z-Putties. They're sent down to Earth, and prove formidable foes, until their weaknesses are discovered (hit the big Z power source on their chests, and they shatter to pieces).
Zedd creates the Pirantishead monster from a fish out of the Rampoon River, and sends it to Angel Grove. Its twin-fish flutes cause all of the Dinozords to become instantly frozen!

He has the five bullies captured, and sends the Turbanshell monster (a conkshell with worm creature) down to attack the Power Rangers.

Tommy, still powerless and trapped in the Other World dimension, faces not only Goldar, but Turbanshell, as well! Back on Earth, the Command Center is enveloped in a shrinking forcefield, preventing them from doing much of anything. Lord Zedd strips the Power Rangers of their Morphers, and releases them. With Tommy on his knees, Goldar, using a time warping device, displays footage from previous episodes. His intend it to drain Tommy of his confidence. Instead, Tommy realizes how powerful he is, despite being no longer being a Ranger. He defeats Goldar, takes the time warper, and sends a message back in time. This gives him access to his Communicator, with which he's able to get out of the Other World. Tommy then sneaks up and snatches the Green Crystal, and destroys it, freeing the Command Center, and depowering the Dark Rangers. Turbanshell attacks Angel Grove, but luckily, Tommy returns the stolen Morphers to his teammates just in time. Reenergized by the crystal shattering, the Green Ranger joins in the fight by tricking the monster into eating him. Zapped from the inside out and then frozen from the outside, Turbanshell goes down easily thanks to the Thunder Megazord. With his Green Ranger powers now completely gone and a break in school coming up, Tommy says goodbye to the team. The five bullies, not remembering their Dark Ranger experience, are befriended by the Ranger Teens, and just as quickly never seen again.

This was the first episode to display effects of Walter Jones, Thuy Trang, and Austin St. John's quitting the show. When morphed, Red, Yellow & Black Rangers are generally silent, save for some recycled dialogue.
The last episode to feature original Zyu2 footage of the six Rangers, and the last to feature an original Zyu2 monster (previously used and unused Zord battles of previously seen monsters would show up through season 3).

On the way there, Goldar kidnaps the four, and creates Pink, Yellow, Blue & Black Candles, with which to drain their Ranger powers! The Red Ranger fights alone against a swarm of Putties, Goldar, and the Pipebrain Monster (made from the tournament trophy) to save his teammates.

Eventually, they're summoned to the Command Center, where the White Ranger is revealed. He decends from the heavens, fully energized and morphed. Upon removing his helmet, all are pleasantly shocked to witness that it is indeed Tommy. Kim, of course, faints. Now powered by the "light of goodness", Tommy not only has powers that won't fail him, but is so strong that he's become the new team leader. He's given an enchanted talking Saber, called Saba, which acts not only as a guide and weapon, but helps him gain access to his Zord, the White Tigerzord. As the White Ranger & Saba take out Nimrod, AC, & DC using the White Tigerzord, the other Rangers take on Putties swarming upon Bulk & Skull's location. Though still tiny, Rita Repulsa is freed from her mini-dumpster, only to be quickly locked back in by the Rangers.

Aisha attempts to pick her cuffs' lock with a hairpin, and succeeds, only to have their escape thwarted. Lord Zedd, trying to distract the Rangers from tracking down the four, sends down not only the Terror Blossom monster, but revives Hatchasaurus & Cardiatron.

Bulk & Skull continue babysitting Jacob Anderson in the park, with "humorous" results when changing his diaper and trying to feed him. Elsewhere, Jason, Zack, & Trini have been frozen by the Terror Blossom.
Billy manages to unfreeze them, and the combined six Rangers take on the monster. Jason & Zack use the Thunderzords to fight Terror Blossom, as the others head off to rescue Aisha, Adam, Rocky, and Mr. Anderson. After fighting through numerous Putties, they finally reach their target. Scuffling with the Snake Of Destruction, Billy loses his helmet, and exposes his identity to the three teens (Mr. Anderson has been teleported to the park, and reunited with Jacob, by Yellow Ranger).
Tommy & Kim also demask themselves, much to the Stone Canyon Ninja Trio's shock. But, it's all good, and the three aid the Rangers in taking out the rest of the Putties. Later, at the Command Center, Zordon & Alpha welcome Rocky, Aisha, and Adam. They take the oath, and swear to keep the Power Rangers' identities a secret.

Representatives from all over the world come to Angel Grove for the World Teen Summit. Billy, of course, is the ambassador for the USA. Lord Zedd has the ambassadors kidnapped, and ransomed for the Power Coins. The Rangers hand a box of them over to Goldar: gold-foil chocolate Power Coins. The ambassadors are rescued, thanks to the help of Aisha, Adam, and Rocky. A four-headed statue made for the World Teen Summit is turned into a Four-Headed Monster. To aid the Thunderzords in combating it, Tor, the Shuttlezord, is unvieled, helping to create the Thunder Ultrazord, which squashes Four-Head, literally.

Jason, Zack, and Trini are chosen for the World Peace Conference in Switzerland. This means the Power Rangers are going to need a trio of replacements. But first, in order to transfer the powers to anyone else, our six heroes must travel across the galaxy, to a place called the Deserted Planet.
There, they attempt to locate the fabled Sword Of Light. The Rangers aren't alone on the Deserted Planet, as Lord Zedd & Goldar have followed in their very own, massive evil Zord, called Serpentera. So big, it not only can crush the Red Dragon Thunderzord & Tor the Shuttlezord in one of its clawed feet, but it does just that!
Back on Earth, to prevent Zordon from choosing any replacements, Baboo & Squatt activate the Sleep Machine, which knocks out most of Angel Grove. Rocky, Adam, and Aisha (having recently transferred to Angel Grove High School from Stone Canyon for reasons never disclosed) are spared, and try to destroy the machine, only to end up captured by Putties.
Elsewhere, just when the Power Rangers locate the Sword Of Light, Zedd fires Serpentera's laser-breath, thus obliterating most of the Deserted Planet.

Rocky, Aisha, and Adam face the same slumbering fate as the rest of the city, until Adam's soccer skills helps to take out the Sleep Machine. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, the Power Rangers barely manage to snag the Sword Of Light and teleport away before the entire Deserted Planet is melted into slag by Lord Zedd's Zord, Serpentera.
Now able to complete the Power Transfer, the replacement Rangers, good old Aisha, Adam, & Rocky, are infused with the Yellow, Black, and Red Rangers energies, respectively. Their first mission comes instantly, as Zedd sends the Silverhorns monster down to attack the city.
As if the Thunderzords didn't have enough trouble, Serpentera returns, but thanks to its blowing up of the Deserted Planet and round trips across the universe, it quickly runs out of energy and retreats. Jason, Zack, and Trini depart to the airport, with their former teammates and former best friends watching from VERY afar on the Viewing Globe, so as to not let on the fact that the actors quit/were fired and that's not even them.

There's an upcoming Vice-Versa dance at Angel Grove High School, where the girls ask the guys. For instance, Laura (from "Opposites Attract") asks out Billy. Two very familiar female punks target Bulk & Skull (the large girl wants Skull and the skinny one wants Bulk, of course), who flee desperately from them as they continue their search for the Power Rangers' true identities. A new karate-experty, dark haired, and mysterious girl named Sabrina shows up at the Youth Center, catching the eye of Adam. She essentially throws herself at him, angering his pal Aisha, who had been trying to get her dateless Ranger teammate a date for the dance with someone else. Long story short, it turns out Sabrina is actually Scorpina in disguise! She & Goldar ambush Adam & Aisha, which leads into a Thunderzord battle when the evil alien couple grow large. Scorpina & Goldar retreat before getting taken out by the Thunder Ultrazord. At the dance, Adam finally gets a date, and Bulk & Skull are tricked into dancing with their mothers... err, the female punks.

| 90. Mirror of Regret |
|

One of the students in Adam's kiddie karate class gets picked on by the others for being smaller, and being unable to perform the moves with perfect success. This brings back a flood of bad childhood memories for Adam, who recalls being treated the same way when he was young and trying to play soccer. Lord Zedd is inspired, and sends Goldar down with the Mirror Of Regret. Putties capture Adam, and he's forced to watch as his worst childhood memories are replayed before him. It's an attempt to crush his already wavering self-esteem, but when an image of his scrawny karate student practicing hard and perfectly executing some moves he had trouble with, the plan backfires. Adam shrugs off Goldar's plan, and destroys the Mirror. Also, Zedd sounds down the Skelerena monster, half skeleton & half hyena, to fight our Ranger heroes. With the help of Alpha's newly completed Power Cannon, Skelerena is disposed of. Later, Adam's student wins the respect of the fat, ugly, insecure bullies that were picking on him earlier.

Adam brings a kaleidoscope to school, explaining how light is broken down into many pieces and such. Lord Zedd is inspired, and sends Goldar down to steal it from him. The kaleidoscope is used to create the Scatterbrain monster. His 'brain-scattering' powers are used on Billy, Tommy, and Kimberly. They gain total amnesia, unable to remember who they are. Rocky, Adam, & Aisha attempt to restore their memories using prisms, but they too fall victim to Scatterbrain's attack. Bulk & Skull witness these events, and discover what they sought most: the true identities of the Power Rangers. But will they risk their knowledge of these facts to save the Rangers, and ultimately the world?

Ernie gets a new pachinko machine and Rocky wants to try it. However, as usual, Lord Zedd is inspired by the events of the moment, and not only sends down an enemy called Pachinko Head, but he also places a spell on Rocky, where all he wants to do is have fun, and in the process, neglects his karate student. Pachinkohead turns all of the Rangers, except Tommy, into bowling ball sized Pachinko balls. Rocky, on the other hand, after yelling at Zordon, i.e "Why should I listen to you?" is busy playing on the jungle gym. Tommy manages to distract PachinkoHead long enough using a frisbee to get the transformed teammates back to the Command Center. Alpha successfully turns them back into humans, breaking the spell on Rocky in the process. They then defeated Pachinko Head and Rocky returned to teaching his student.

Lord Zedd monitors this, and, as expected, is inpired to turn a studio camera into the Showbiz Monster.

An intergalactic traveller from the planet called Bookala, of a race of the same name, lands in Angel Grove Park.

Ms. Appleby assigns the class to bring in pictures of themselves when they were younger. Lord Zedd has a very complicated plan in mind, inspired by this trip down memory lane. Using the Rock Of Time, he reverses the Earth's rotation, causing everyone on the planet to revert in age by about 10 years!
This includes the Ranger Teens, who instantly become Elementary Schoolers (attending 2nd grade in the High School, but ignore that). They have no memory of ever being Rangers, but luckily, Alpha 5 & Zordon do. They work on a plan to return time to normal, but while they do that, Zedd sends down his Putties to attack the Powerless Kids.
Despite their lack of experience in fighting, the six kids, plus younger Bulk & Skull, take out the Putties once they discover how to aim for the 'Z'. Zedd creates the Photomare monster out of a Polaroid camera. She snaps a shot of the Powerless Kids, imprisioning them inside the picture!

Trapped in Photomare's picture, the Rangers turned little kids are helpless. Young Bulk & Skull come to their rescue, stealing the picture and evading Goldar. They try to convince Mr. Kaplan (who has HAIR in this reverted time period) of their story, and he throws them into detention.
Alpha 5 knocks the two little bullies out, takes the picture, and removes the Powerless Kids from captivity. After convincing them of the truth, the six children allow Alpha to use a device to restore their ages to normal.
Back to their normal ages, the Ranger Teens morph, fight Photomare (who makes a copy of the Red Dragonzord during the Megazord battle), and race to destroy the Rock Of Time. When it's destroyed, Earth's rotation returns to normal, time flows properly again, and the world is saved.

Lord Zedd has to take his centeniall slumber, where he naps for a few weeks once every hundred years. Given this time off, the Ranger Teens, along with Bulk & Skull, go on a school-based vacation in Australia. Little does ANY of them realize, that Rita Repulsa has managed to steer her Space Dumpster back to the moon. She crash lands, sneaks into the Lunar Palace, meets up with her still-loyal servant Finster, and gets restored to her normal height. Rita uses Finster's love potion on Zedd while he sleeps. By the time he wakes up, she's been given a make-over to make her face younger ("I don't look a day over 1000!", she claims).
Lord Zedd instantly falls in love with her, as expected. He plans a major wedding, which is exactly what she'd hope would happen, wanting to share his power, then eventually betray him when he least expects it. On Earth, Alpha leaves the Command Center for a relaxing stroll. Finster teleports down, and inserts a virus into his system!
Alpha goes haywire, acting cruel and evil. He silences Zordon, and tricks the Rangers, still Down Under, to go to an abandoned theater. They do as ordered, but upon teleporting in, they discover that not only can they not teleport out, but the theater's filled with an army of previously destroyed monsters!

Our heroes then storm the Command Center, shutting down Alpha 5, and erasing his evil reprogramming.
The automaton is very remorseful, fixing Zordon's head, teleporting Bulk & Skull out of the outback, and restoring the Zords to working order. The Rangers then have another battle against multiple giant revived monsters, and claim victory.
Zedd & Rita, riding Serpentera (with a "Just Married" sign hanging behind it), find marital bliss short. The triumph of the Rangers causes the lovebirds to squabble considerably, ruining their plans for a honeymoon.

This inspires Zedd & Rita... or at least Rita, who consults her evil deity and old pal, the Ghost of Darkness. She's told that by removing the Rangers from their leader, Tommy, she will finally be able to attain victory. Rita summons the Wizard of Deception, who sends the teens back in time, leaving Tommy alone and vulnerable in the present. The Wizard then uses a piece of Tommy's hair to create a clone of him... with the powers of the Green Ranger! Only THIS Green Ranger is completely dedicated to the pursuit of evil. Billy, Kimberly, Aisha, Rocky, and Adam find themselves in Angel Grove, California... during the British Colonial days (circa the late 1700s)!

In the present: White Ranger continues fighting the Green Ranger. During the fight, Tommy learns from Evil Clone Tommy what happened to his teammates. He uses this knowledge to steal the Wizard Of Deception's wand, and magically travels back in time to rescue them.
In late 1700s Angel Grove, the other five Ranger Teens, along with their pals Marissa & Uncle Ben, continue to flee from the Rat Monsters and redcoat soliders.
White Ranger eventually appears, and takes his teammates back to the present. There, the team has to call in the Thunder Megazord to combat their old ally, the Dragonzord, which is being used by Tommy's Evil Clone to attack the city.
Even the White Tigerzord gets in on the fighting. Tommy is able to break the evil spell on his clone, and thus, the Dragonzord is spared being destroyed (it's sent back into the sea, never to be seen again). Clone Tommy is remorseful, but is able to redeem himself by helping Tommy go back to Colonial Angel Grove and defeat the Rat Monsters.
Clone Tommy, still seeming to possess some of the Green Ranger powers, remains in the late 1700s Angel Grove to start his own life. Finally, in the present, Adam, who had a crush on Marissa, bumps into her lookalike decendant.

Angel Grove High is sponsoring a book fair. Books of interest for everyone.
One such book, a fairytale called "Grumble The Magic Elf", gains the attention of Kimberly, who remembers it from her childhood. Lord Zedd & Rita Repulsa use their magics to zap Kim, Tommy & Rocky INTO the storybook.
Inside, they meet the title character, a Mr. Tinklesneezer looklike in a Santa Suit. He had a spell cast on him to make him grumpy, and has to deliever a cart of toys to some children to have the spell removed.
Zedd & Rita also zap in some Putties, who steal the toys, making sure the story never ends, and ensures the three Ranger Teens remain trapped there forever. If that wasn't bad enough, they run into an evil snowman, who buries them in an avalanche.

Still trapped in the book, "Grumble The Magic Elf", Kimberly, Tommy & Rocky escape the snowman's avalanche, thanks to some help from Grumble himself. They're at a loss on how to make sure the story ends, and head back to beg mercy from the man who cast the grumpy spell on Grumble to begin with: Mondo, the Magnificent Magician. He refuses to listen, and turns them away.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, Bulk & Skull use a book on monster-making to make their own monster, schemeing to yank off the Rangers' helmets when they come there to fight the creature. Skull screws up the process, and mixes it up with a book on turkey making. With magical help from Rita & Zedd, this results in a creature known as Turkeyjerk! Their wacky monster chases them into the park, where the remaining three Power Rangers are forced to broil the beast with ease. Soon, Zordon & Alpha learn of the missing three Ranger Teens' location.
Aisha uses her artistic talents to draw in replacement toys. Grumble gets them to the kids, his grumpy spell is broken, and the three teens are returned to their own reality.
Somehow, Rita is an old pal of Mondo the Magician, and summons him from the book. The Thunder Megazord takes this leather & silver metal menace out of the picture.

Tommy gives Kimberly a cactus as a present. Lord Zedd & Rita Repulsa steal it, and turn it into the Needlenose monster. Confused by the cactus' dissapearance, the six Ranger Teens teleport from the Youth Center's hallway to the Command Center... all except Kimberly.
She's accidentally sucked into a tear in the fabric of time, known as a Time Hole! Kim ends up in Angel Grove, circa 1880. There, she witnesses Bulk & Skull's ancestors, a pair of bandits known as One-Eyed Bulk & Doc Skullovitch, robbing a stagecoach. Tommy's ancestor, a man in a white cowboy suit on a white horse, known as the White Stranger, saves the day.
Kim ends up in Ernest's Juice Saloon, where she meets Rocky's ancestor Rocko, Adam's ancestor Abraham, Aisha's ancestor Miss Alisha, and Billy's ancestor William.
In the present, Zedd sends Goldar, Needlenose, and some Putties through the Time Hole, despite the protests of the remaining Power Rangers. The Time Hole closes, leaving our heroes hopeless to recover Kimberly. In old west Angel Grove, the evil space aliens wreck havoc on the town.

Trapped in the Old West, and facing multiple villains, Kimberly is forced to morph. She discovers that her powers do indeed work in this time period, and takes a chance, teleporting to the Command Center. Zordon & Alpha 5 are awake, and quite surprised. Kim informs them of her situation, and they lend her the Power Coins. She goes back to Angel Grove, and gives each of her teammates' ancestors the powers of their great great grandchildren.
The Pink Ranger, along with the four Cowboy Rangers (their morphed suits are the same, save for some tassles and cowboy boots added), take on the Putties. The White Stranger helps out. Needlenose & Goldar flee through a Time Hole, and once in the present, the monster grows. The other Rangers use the Megazord to defeat giant Needlenose. At the end of the day, Zordon & Billy come up with one last hope in rescuing Kimberly from a hundred years ago.
It works, she's returned to the present, no worse for the wear, back in the late 1800s, the Rangers' ancestors find their lives enriched by their brief periods as Power Rangers. White Stranger narrowly misses meeting Kimberly's ancestor, who just arrives in town, as he rides off into the sunset.

Alpha 5 is depressed. He recieves a distress signal from his creator, King Lexian, deposed ruler of the peaceful planet called Edenoi. Edenoi has been taken over by the evil Count Dregon and his minions. As a favor to Alpha, the Power Rangers take a trip to Edenoi (sans Kimberly, who is currently bed-ridden with the flu).
Once there, they bump into Dregon's Plague Patrol. If that wasn't bad enough, the rebels fighting against Dregon's forces think the Rangers are bad guys!
The rebels are led by a superpowered bug-armored warrior called the Masked Rider. This misunderstanding doesn't last long, but between Dregon's forces and Edenoi's instability due to all of the poison gas mining, nobody is safe.

In a cave, the Power Rangers get acquainted with Masked Rider & the Edenoi rebels. Masked Rider powers down, revealing himself to be Prince Dex, grandson of King Lexian, Alpha 5's creator.
The story of the Edenites' enslavement by Count Dregon is told, as well as how Dex came to be the Masked Rider, a power handed down throughout the generations of his kingdom. Dregon sends down the Cogworts, three frog-like monsters. This draws the Rangers & rebels out of hiding, to fight both the Cogworts and the pesky Plague Patrol. Back on Earth, Bulk & Skull overhear two pretty women talking about their crushes on the Power Rangers. This inspires the bumbling duo to trick the women into going to a false "secret base" of the Rangers, so they can trick the dames into thinking THEY'RE Rangers.
Up on the moon, Lord Zedd & Rita are at a loss for a plan on attacking Earth while the Rangers are away. Eventually, Finster creates the Repellator monster, he's sent down to Angel Grove. With the other Power Rangers on another planet, the flu-sick Kimberly is called into duty.

Pink Ranger's flu proves to her advantage, when her sneezing passes the sickness to the Repellator monster, sending him fleeing back to moon. Once there, Repellator gets some medicine from Finster, and eventually returns to Earth.
He interrupts Bulk & Skull's attempts to woo the two girls from the previous episodes (not that their cheap mock Power Ranger costumes hadn't already blown it for them).
Anyway, back on Edenoi, the other five Power Rangers help Masked Rider & the rebels defeat the Plague Patrol & Cogworts. They teleport back to Earth, where they're needed to assist Kimberly against Repellator, using the Thunder Megazord & White Tigerzord. After defeating the monster, the Rangers inform Alpha 5 that his creator, King Lexian, is doing well, despite the poltical turmoil his planet is in.
Little do they know, that Count Dregon & his minions have turned their attentions away from Edenoi, and are on their way to attack Earth! King Lexian sends his grandson, Prince Dex, the Masked Rider, to Earth to stop Dregon.

While waiting for them to hatch, Rito is given an army of Finster's 'finest' remade monsters: Octophantom, Fighting Flea, Stag Beetle, and the Lizzinator. Rito Revolto takes these monsters to Angel Grove, where they fight the Power Rangers, and after growing, eventually destroy both the Thunder Megazord & White Tigerzord! The backlash of power in the morphin grid severly damages the Command Center, and essentially destroys the Rangers' current powers. Also in this episode: Ernie opens an outdoor cafe.

This marks the first time that an evil space alien (and not a possessed Power Ranger) infiltrates the Command Center, though unlike later such events, this one has a much less destructive resolution.
Incisorator is made up of a "kitbash" between the body of future monster Merrick the Barbarick (from MMAR's "The Alien Trap"), the head of a monster from the first episode of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, and the cape of unused Dairanger monster Birdcage Vagabond.
Incisorator in the original shooting of this episode, and in the versions aired overseas, is known as "Fangenstein".

When Tommy destroys Zedd's staff it becomes a snake. In "The Mutiny (1)" the same snake became Zedd's staff.
Zordon originally called the Shogunzords "the Ancientzords" in this trilogy, as did the Rangers, when this episode was filmed. It was changed in post-production, though the original versions aired overseas.
The White Shogun zord is the Pink Shogun zord in the MMPR Toys.

We find Kat rushing with the hospital staff, to treat Kimberly, who was knocked out after falling off the balance beam. Up on the moon, Rita and Lord Zedd, angry of course, call Finster for the cause of Katherine breaking the spell.
After finding out the selfless act of rescueing Kim overpowered the spell, they proclaim that she had accomplished what she was sent to do - put the Pink Ranger out of commission. Kimberly gradually recovers and Aisha, Rocky, and Adam are called to go and see her. Rita, not letting her plan fall apart, occupied the Rangers with Rito and a platoon of Tenga Warriors. Meanwhile, Kat confesses to Kim about her causing the bulk of most of the unfortunate events that had previously occured.
The Rangers made their way to the hospital and forgave Kat, referring to Tommy being evil at first and later becoming part of the team. Afterwards, Zedd and Rita send the dispicable Garbage Mouth to recapture Katherine, but he is eventually destroyed, failing to accomplish his mission.
Deciding that only a hostage would get the Rangers to do what they wanted, Rita and Zedd plan to use Ninjor as bait to get the Rangers to give over Katherine. This message is later delivered by Rita and Rito, leaving the Rangers with a hard decision.

Kat reveals to Kim that she, too, was in the Pan Globals as a diver, but injured herself and ever since aqcuired a hate for the water. She later explains to Tommy and Rocky that they should let her go, but the two refuse and think of another way. Tommy and Kat meet Rita, Goldar, and Rito in the park where they exchange their items and divulge that they were both attempting to trick eachother; the Rangers with a forcefield and the villains with an empty bottle!
Rita summons the Tengas and spectates the battle between the Ninja Rangers and her ferocious virds. During the fight, a Tenga manages to dismantle the forcefield's generator, and Rito steals Kat! The villains depart, leaving the Rangers empty handed. In the evil chamber, Rita and Zed laugh over their victory and plan to drown both Ninjor and Kat in the Sea of Sorrow. With Rito on guard, he is easily deceived and put to sleep, allowing Katherine to escape and get her hands on the Pink Power Coin. Rita enters and calls forth the Tengas, yet Katherine is teleported to safety.
On the balcony, Zedd scolds Rita for mesing everthing up, and she screeches that would like to see him do better.

This episode was produced between "The Potion Notion" and "A Ranger Catastrophe (1)", and the televised version takes place there (due to Kim still being with the team and Kat not being around).

NOTE: Most of this episode is shown in Black & White.
Was produced more or less between "Challenges" and "Inner Spirit" from the previous season, with intent on releasing it on video first. It even showed up in a TV Guide listing during May 1996 as airing then, but obviously didn't!
Ernie, Lt. Stone, Zordon, and Alpha 5 do not appear in this episode, though, as you can see above, their actors DO appear, but in strangely similar roles.
The only Ranger to appear morphed is Tommy, and that's only in the dream sequence.
This episode was dedicated to the memory of Carol Michelle Mickelson.

Jason begins to lose control of the Gold Ranger Powers. At the beginning of the episode Jason is fighting Cogs & Tengas when he demorphs then remorphs again, the other rangers are in the Juice Bar when Jason runs in and then collaspes to the floor. The Rangers race to his side and Ernie offers to call an ambulance. The Rangers take Jason to the Power Chamber where they find out Jason is losing his Powers as well as his life force.
They have to contact Trey fast and get the Powers transfered or Jason'll die. This leads to a battle between Giant Zeo Rangers, and giant King Mondo with equally huge Cogs! At the end Jason gives the Powers back to Trey and walks off into the sunset with Emily. Also, Bulk & Skull are offered a mission as secret agents in France, which doesn't sit too well with Det. Stone, whose detective agency is dangerously low on business. And rounding things up, the Machine Empire vs Rita, Zedd & their gang rivalry heads up to an explosive conclusion!

Rocky (Steve Cardenas) does not appear in this episode unmorphed.
Jason (Austin St. John) departs the series again with this episode, though will return for the Turbo Movie. With his departure, the show officially says goodbye to its last "Original Series Casting" main-cast Ranger.
Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd depart the series with this episode, though will make a cameo in the Turbo Movie and reappear a few times in Power Rangers In Space
King Mondo and Queen Machina depart the series with this episode, though will reappear a few times in Power Rangers In Space.
Final appearance of Rito Revolto, due to his costume falling apart beyond repair between seasons.
Goldar speaks for the final time, though he will appear again without a voice, in PRiS' "From Out Of Nowhere, Part I" and "Countdown To Destruction, Part 1." Finster will also appear next, nonspeaking, in "Countdown To Destruction, Part 1."
The Pink Zeo Ranger would next appear in "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie", and Red Zeo Ranger in PRWF's "Forever Red" (and within Tommy's mind in PRDT's "Fighting Spirit"), but aside from those two, no other Zeo Ranger power would ever be seen in action ever again.
The final time the "Private Eyes Have It" detective agency appears. The next time Jerome Stone, Bulk, and Skull appear in the Turbo Movie, they're all back to working with the Junior Police Patrol, without much of a resolution to the "French Spies" plot.
The Gold Ranger (now Trey again) will next be seen in PRiS' "Countdown To Destruction" parts 1 & 2.

NOTE: Final originally-broadcasted episode of POWER RANGERS ZEO, due to being held back to debut closer to the Holiday season.
Tommy's Elder Grandson could be a Power Ranger, since he has to leave his younger brother in the care of his grand-parents to answer a summons from his Zordon-Era style wrist Communicator.
Billy (David Yost) does not appear in this episode, though is credited (and Billy is said to be at a Family Reunion).
The production of the episode, and storyline within the flashback, place this as taking place sometime following "The Power Of Gold", but before "Revelations Of Gold" (hence Rito & Goldar working for Bulk & Skull, but no Jason in the ep). It was originally scheduled to be a Video-Exclusive, on a VHS entitled "'TIS THE SEASON TO BE ZEO", but it was never produced.
None of the Rangers appear morphed in this episode.

NOTE: Unlike the first Power Rangers Movie, this one is set in the actual P.R timeline, and the events in the film take place between the last episode of "POWER RANGERS ZEO" and the first episode of "POWER RANGERS TURBO".
U.S, Theatrical Release Date: 3/28/97
Domestic Gross: 8.1 million
Further deleted scenes: Katherine uses a flame-thrower against a snake in the jungle, and Adam rescues a Mermaid.
Jason will return in PRWF's "Forever Red".
This makes Adam and Tommy the only two people to be Rangers in Both movies. Adam as Black and Green, Tommy as White and Red. While Kimberly & Rocky appeared as Rangers in the first movie, but not in second.
The Power Chamber has seen some re-fitting... mostly because the Rangers have returned to surface level, as is proven in "Chase into Space (1)."
Richard Genelle makes his final appearance as Ernie, owner of the Angel Grove Youth Center, having been with the series since it began. He won't be written out until PRT's "Shadow Rangers."
What happened to Bulk & Skull's trip to France to become secret agents? Where is Jerome Stone's detective agency they once worked at? It's all explained away with the restored-to-rank Lt. Stone's claim of how hard it was for him to get them their jobs back at the Junior Police Patrol. This massive step back for the characters will only last until PRT's "Shift Into Turbo (2)".
Rocky (Steve Cardenas) ends his time as a Power Ranger here, thanks to a back injury. Though he'll recover (and presumably may have the ability to utilize the Zeo Powers), and will be on the first three episodes of PRT, he doesn't morph in this film, or ever again.
Justin (Blake Foster) joins the cast as the Blue Turbo Ranger, with this film, and will continue on in PRT.
From now on, the Rangers will no longer say "It's Morphin' Time" before morphing, which they have done since they first got their powers 4 years earlier.
This is the first time that someone other than a ranger is seen in the Megazord cockpit: Bulk, Skull, Jason, & Kim during the credits.
Katherine to the only one in this movie to morph with the Zeo Powers, or at least attempt to.

NOTE: POWER RANGERS TURBO begins with this episode. It follows directly from the events in "TURBO: A POWER RANGERS MOVIE".
Carol Hoyt (who also plays Dimitria) takes over as Divatox from Hilary Shepard Turner, who was pregnant at the time and unavailable. Turner returns later in the series. Both actresses play Divatox very differently. Hoyt plays her evil and calculating whilst Turner plays her as a bit of a loon. Carol Hoyt, technically, played Divatox publically first, during a set of "hosting" bumpers in Fox Kids' "Weird Week" during the middle of February 1997.
Clips from "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" dominate five minutes of the episode as the Rangers recall thier adventure to the departing Rocky, the full version of the "Power Rangers Turbo" theme is heard as the clips are presented
Bulk (Paul Schrier) and Skull (Jason Narvy), de-evolved in the Turbo Movie into Junior Police Patrol officers again, are de-evolved more literally here, turned into chimps starting with this episode. They would provide voices-only on the show until "Stitch Witchery", when they were returned to normal.
First P.R season to premeire in Britain under ITV's jurisdiction, having split from GMTV the previous year to make room for constant re-runs of Disney cartoons, the series would not return to GMTV until it was bought by Disney

Before the Rangers can say goodbye to their mentor, Divatox launches a mobilised assault on Angel Grove, the Rangers quickly repel the attack with the Turbo Zords, after a rough combination sequence, the Rangers form the Turbo Megazord and send Elgar and his troops screaming back to "Auntie D"
The Rangers return to the Power Chamber, where they quickly say goodbye to Zordon as Lerigot teleports both him and Alpha through the wormhole that will take them home, but they learn that the attack from Divatox was but a distraction, to allow the Amphibitor monster to activate a device that will seal the wormhole, with Zordon and Alpha inside, effectivly snuffing them out

Lt. Stone (Gregg Bullock), the Bulk chimp (voice of Paul Schrier) and the Skull chimp (voice of Jason Narvy) do not appear in this episode.
Zordon is freed from his 10,000-year-long-imprisonment in the Time Warp with this episode.
Note that there are major diferences in the cockpit of the Turbo Megazord from this point on from the movie. The most probable explinations are upgrades, or even two Turbo Megazords, one having been a temporary version for the trip to the Nemesis Triangle. It would certainly explain the difficulty the Rangers have in piloting the Zords after handling them with ease before, and why the smaller version of Red Lightning only appeared once in the series. It also explains later goofs involving the Turbo Zord Holding Bay.
Debut of Dimitria and Alpha 6.

On the soccer field, a practice game is being played. Carlos is scoring often, but refuses to give anyone else a try. Adam(coach of Carlos's soccer team) calls Carlos over and tells him to pass the ball to Barry. Carlos objects, but Adam insists that everyone should be given a chance to play. Meanwhile, Ashley is making the cheerleading squad practiceand unbeknownst to anyone, Divatox is watching them.
On the field the soccer ball is passed to Barry and before he can get a chance to kick, Carlos comes from behind and kicks the ball and scores. After the game, Adam tries again to get Carlos to use teamwork, but he won't do it.
Out of nowhere Tommy is thrown onto a mat. Kat helps him up and Tanya throws him back down. They alternatly keep doing this while talking about Adam's upcoming soccer game the next day against Stone Canyon. Upon hearing this, Bulk and Skull(as chimps) plan on how they can get people to realize that they are Bulk and Skull.
In her sub, Divatox sends some Piranatron to attack the soccer game. Carlos is still hogging the ball and kicks the ball toward the goal. Before it can enter, a Piranatron jumps out of nowhere and kicks the ball away. While the goalie runs away, five more materialize next to the first and another on top of the cheerleader pyramid. As Adam battles them everyone except Ashley and Carlos run off. Adam fights most of them while Ashley and Carlos mostly throw stuff at them until they leave.
Afterwards, Adam suggests the two head home in case they come back. Adam then contacts Alpha and has everyone meet at the Command Center. Meanwhile, Carlos is walking Ashley home. Ashley questions why he is walking her home and he tells her he needed an excuse to talk to her. At the Command Center everyone but Tommy decides to go to the game tomorrow in case of another attack. Tommy has to practice racecar driving. On the sub Porto introduces Divatox to Electravolt.( a monster that generates and uses electricity as a weapon) At the game Kat, Tanya, and Justin are hopeing that Divatox doesn't ruin the game for Adam. Justin reveals he brought a scouter just in case as the Angel Grove team comes onto the field. Behind the scoreboard, a Piranha tron places a bomb inside the scoreboard. In the sub Divatox reveals that when Angel Grove scores four goals the bomb will go off and sends Elgar and Electravolt to the quarry to lure the rangers away from the game. At the game Carlos quickly scores three goals. During a break he asks what Ashley thinks of the games so far. She tells him that she isn't impressed with him hogging the ball. The rangers are alerted to the situation and they take Adam away from the game. Before the rangers show up Electravolt uses his powers to create two dirt bikes.
When the rangers get there, they are immediately overpowered by the evil duo. Even when the Blue Senturian shows up they continue to be overpowered until Adam jumps on Elgar and taking him off the bike and then throwing Electravolt from his bike. Electravolt absorbs the bikes and grows to giant size. The Blue Senturian immediately calls for his vehicle and engages the monster, but is overpowered until the Turbo Megazord charges at the monster and does the spin out. Blue Senturian then blast the monster, thus ending the battle.
Back at the field, Justin is now able to hear his scouter. Kat, Tanya, and Justin go to the scoreboard and Justin reaches inside for the bomb. Meanwhile Carlos is charging up the field for the fourth shot, but passes the ball to Barry, who scores the fourth goal just as Justin gets the bomb and deactivates it. With the game won, Barry is carried on his team mates shoulders while Carlos looks kinda dissappointed. Adam congratulates Carlos on learning to work with the team and Ashley asks if he'll walk her home again so she'll have an excuse to talk to him.

NOTE: Final episode of "POWER RANGERS TURBO".
Justin (Blake Foster) departs the cast with this episode. Though, he (along with Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster) will return in PRiS' "True Blue To The Rescue."
Only during the original US airing of this episode was the "To Be Continued: Next Season" tag used. All future airings of this episode in the US end with the tag "To Be Continued: Power Rangers In Space"
First mentioning of Dark Specter, the "monarch of all evil", and believed to be the ruler of the United Alliance of Evil, the rarely named term for the forces the Evil Space Aliens, such as Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, the Machine Empire, and even Divatox, all belong to. His forces are the ones which attacked Eltar in the previous episode.
Considered by Fox Kids to be the 5th season finale. They finally got the hang of new seasons starting in February (when to end them was something they'd need a few years more to master).

(Production Automated Location Studio) takes over the show, with two very familiar troublemaker voices. Johnny plays it straight, trying to bring order to chaos, as insane clips from various episodes, video specials, and Sentai scenes are thrown his way. Professor Phenomenus also shows up a few times. Eventually, it's revealed that Bulk & Skull are behind P.A.L.S., and have been purposely ruining the show. A gang of angry rogue monsters end up chasing the bumbling duo across the Saban Studios lot.

NOTE: Was filmed close to the production of PRiS' "Always A Chance."
The promotional commercials for this special promised only Bulk & Skull hosting, and made it seem like it would be just clips of bloopers & outtakes.
Aired only once, and only in the USA, as a part of the "Fox Kids Pick Of The Week" series.
Paved the way for the banner name of PR reruns entitled "Power Rangers Power Playback".
Only the end credits of this special are close captioned. Although various clips are, this special was chopped together so quickly, they never had time to get it all captioned.
The choice of using a clip from "Wild West Rangers, Part 2" came about from a crew member more or less polling fans at the alt-mmpr IRC chatroom.
The end credits to this episode mark the only time PR ever credited the second Sentai it used, Dairanger, correctly (it had previously been listed as "Star Rangers", an incorrect translation).
First time the end credits had ever listed the third Sentai the show adapted from, Kakuranger, by name.
First time the show used un-dubbed and mostly uncut Japanese footage from Sentai (namely clips from the "Bomb Dancing" end credits sequence from Megaranger, Bandora singing and dancing from one of the last episodes of Zyuranger, and the Dorodoro dancing end credits from Kakuranger.)

NOTE: Adam is able to briefly morph using his damaged Power Morpher and Dino Coin (both last seen in "Ninja Quest (1)"), making this as close to a team-up between "MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS" and "POWER RANGERS IN SPACE" as the show will get until PRWF's "Forever Red".
Bulk (Paul Schrier), Skull (Jason Narvy), and Prof. Phenomenus (Jack Banning) return for this episode. They won't be back until "Dark Specter's Revenge (1), but Bulk & Skull will remain credited.
Johnny Yong Bosch also filmed the "Power Playback: Funniest Power Rangers Moments" special while doing this episode.
Lizwizard's name was originally "Wizlizard" during filming. It was changed in post-production, though in some instances, you can see mouth-movements match the pronouncing of his original name.
The song that plays during the montage of Adam & Carlos working out, is an instrumental of a song called "Strike!" from Saban's VR Troopers.
Adam's morphing sequence is a previously unused version of Adam's season 2 morphing sequence, where, instead of just standing there shouting "Mastodon!", he actually does the hand gestures with his Power Morpher.

NOTE: Final episode of "POWER RANGERS IN SPACE".
Bulk (Paul Schrier), Skull (Jason Narvy), and Prof. Phenomenus (Jack Banning) return for this episode.
Andros, TJ, Ashley, Cassie, and Carlos will return in PRLG's "To The Tenth Power". Karone would return as a regular in PRLG's "Protect The Quasar Saber" onwards.
George Buck Flower played the role of Red Thomas in Back To the Future parts 1 and 2. He also appeared in a few of John Carpenter films.
This was filmed as a three part saga by Saban. Resulting in this season having 44 episodes. However Fox only approved 43 episodes for the season. So all three parts were cut and merged into two. Among the rumored cuts were extra fight scenes and the Phantom Ranger being unmasked.
ATTENTION TO DETAILS: Zordon's tube destruction would not have been a possible solution to the situation prior to "Shift Into Turbo, Part III", where Lerigot released him from his Time Warp. His tube from MMPR to PRT was a "Plasma Tube", similar to a Plasma TV, recieving his transmission from the Time Warp. This season it was an "Energy Tube", containing his pure essence, with the intent of Dark Specter draining him of his life force. With DS dead, the tube is pure Zordon, and shattering it would... well... see for yourself.
Features cameos by the five Aquitian Rangers from "MIGHTY MORPHIN' ALIEN RANGERS" (final appearances of all but Red, who shows up next in PRWF's "Forever Red"), the final appearance of the Gold Ranger from "POWER RANGERS ZEO", and the final appearances of Blue Senturion & Phantom Ranger from "POWER RANGERS TURBO".

NOTE: POWER RANGERS LOST GALAXY begins with this episode.
First Power Rangers Series to use the Super Sentai Formula of changing to an entirely new cast of heroes each year.
Damon (Reggie Rolle) is credited on the opening, but does not appear in this episode.
Bulk (Paul Schrier) and Prof. Phenomenus (Jack Banning) appear on the opening credits together, for the first and only time. They won't be back on the show until "Stolen Beauty".
Skull (Jason Narvy) makes his last regular appearance on the show. But he'll be back in PRWF's "Forever Red".
In production, this season was made under the assumption that it took place 5 to 10 years following the end of PRiS. Over the course of the series, the time lapse grew shorter and vaguer. As it stands, this season took place "in the not-too-distant future", just like the classic series "Mystery Science Theater 3000". But obviously before PRLR.
The combat uniforms the GSA soldiers wear were on loan from the movie, "Starship Troopers."
None of the Rangers appear morphed in this episode, as they won't gain the ability to until the next episode.

Mike, Leo, Kendrix and Maya fight against the evil Furio on Mirinoi. Back on Terra Venture, Kai finds the Astro Megaship, currently a museum, and uses it to reach Mirinoi... with the help of ship mechanic Damon. Mike successfully removes one Quasar Saber from the stone, and defeats Furio. Kai, Damon, Kendrix and Maya remove the other four and fight off Furio's foot soldiers, the Stingwingers. Furio opens a crevice into the ground and Mike is caught. Before falling in, Mike gives the Quasar Saber to his brother Leo and asks him to carry on in his place. With the Five Chosen Ones gathered at last, they draw upon the powers of the Quasar Sabers and morph into the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers. Kai is Blue, Damon is Green, Kendrix is Pink, Maya is Yellow, and Leo becomes the Red Ranger.
Our heroes defeat the Stingwingers, but Furio strikes back and turns the planet Mirinoi and all its people (except the Rangers, who escape on the Megaship) into stone.
The five Rangers return to Terra Venture, and with it, set out in search of the new world. Little do they realize, that Furio, with his boss, Scorpius, has followed them through the portal from the Lost Galaxy in his ship, in the Scorpion Stinger, in hot pursuit of the Sabers...

The three Rangers morph, distract Brunt, and battle Radster & the Stingwingers, and once Kai & Kendrix reach the scene, succeed in freeing the creatures, known as Galactabeasts. They tell the Rangers, through Maya's "animal understanding/telepathy", that they are grateful for the rescue, and will help the Rangers whenever they need them.
The Galactabeasts find themselves being called on sooner rather than later when Radster pursues them the Rangers to Terra Venture, after a battle with the Rangers, he takes a stange potion that makes him grow gigantic. Using the Red Lion Galactabeast, Leo destroys him.

A young boy named Matthew is discovered to have stowed away on Terra Venture, and desires nothing but to return to Earth. He strikes up a bond with Damon, who also has a family he misses back home. Matthew ends up helping out the Rangers, when Furio's Gasser monster puts the space colony to sleep. This earns him a ticket home on the Astro Megaship. But first, the Rangers utlize their new vehicles, the Jet Jammers, and the Transdagger-power-infused Galactabeasts become Zords, leading to the creation of the Galaxy Megazord.

As Mike and Leo fight, Skelecron uses his shield to capture four of the Rangers. Leo and Mike escape in time.

Leo is furious, and later that night, goes into the jungle to think of his failure, he is approached by the Red Lion, and this time Leo hears with his heart.
The Red Lion tells Leo his Astro Cycle is more than he believes it to be, and it's powers will aid him in battle whenever he needs it.
The next day, Leo sneaks off and finds the Mantis, he challenges the creature to another race, this time putting his Quasar Sabre on the line, but only if Mantis puts his two prised Ranger statues on the line also.
During the race, Leo activates the power of his Astro Cycle and it is transformed into a Capsular cycle, which propels Leo to the finish line, earning him the right to free Kendrix and Maya.
Mantis refuses, so Leo uses the power of the Capsular Cycle to knock him out, restoring the two female Rangers.

NOTE: "POWER RANGERS IN SPACE" meets "POWER RANGERS LOST GALAXY", part two of two.
Andros & T.J. will both return in PRWF's "Forever Red".
Valeries' illness had even greater impact on the Lost Galaxy story arc, originally, the Dairanger coustumes were to be used as "Anicent Rangers" and used in a mini-arc during the Lost Galaxy storyline
The original ending of this episode had Cassie (Patricia Ja Lee) remaining on Terra Venture to take the role of the Pink Lost Galaxy Ranger. Footage was even shot for another episode with her in the role, but due to a contract dispute between Ms. Lee and Saban Entertainment, the footage was scrapped, the episodes rewritten and reshot. Hence the Space Rangers being morphed the whole time in the last act of this episode.
First appearance of the Astro Megazord formation since "The Impenetrable Web", and also final ever appearance of it.

Leo finds his way to the remants of Terra Venture on the moon of the new world. Trakeena, now in a solid-green body armor of her ultimate form, also makes her way to the Command Tower, and using her power staff, brings the City Dome to life, and launches it towards the new world, aiming for the settlement of the space colony! The Rangers use everything in their arsenal against Trakeena, with a close-range explosion by the Red Armored Power Ranger spelling her complete defeat (or so it seems...)
Thanks to the Galaxy Megazord, the City Dome is safely brought down away from the settlement, and the Rangers are hailed as heroes once more. But the Galactabeasts inform Maya of something nearby. The Rangers discover the stone-frozen members of Maya's tribe, revealing the new world to actually be Mirinoi!
The five heroes return the Quasar Sabers to the stone they were removed from, their destiny complete. In doing so, energy is released that not only frees the tribespeople from their stone-curse, but gives Kendrix' spirit back a physical form!

NOTE: POWER RANGERS LIGHTSPEED RESCUE begins with this episode.
This marks the first time in Power Ranger history that the ranger powers were man-made

Miss Fairweather (Monica Louwerens) is on the opening credits, but does not appear in this episode.
After a lengthy absense, Power Rangers returned to GMTV with Lightspeed Resuce airings (the U.K is a year behind the United States) but was edited way too much and shown only on the occasional English holiday and vanishing before the season even concluded, this would occur again with several other seasons on GMTV

At the Skull Cavern, discussion between the demons turns to finding the headquarters of the Rangers. Loki reveals it's underwater, and that water is dangerous to demons. An additional demon is introduced, Jinxer, a fly-like servant. Diabolico orders him to create a monster capable of wiping Mariner Bay off the face of the Earth. A meeting is called at the Lightspeed Aquabase. On the way to Weapons Lab, Joel bumps into a beautiful, dark haired female with glasses and a labcoat.
He tries to impress her with his Rescue Morpher, and status as the Green Ranger. While he goes off to buy her flowers, she meets with the rest of the Ranger recruits. Her name is Ms. Fairweather, and she's the genius behind the technology used at Lightspeed. She introduces them to the Rail Rescues, a set of traincars which carry their individual Lightspeed Rescuezords into battle.

The five Lightspeed Rescue recruits go on their first training run in a test area. Carter gets the fastest time, but the lowest score, due to his reckless attitude. Meanwhile, Vypra implants quake spikes beneath a skyscraper, attempting to level the city with an earthquake. The Rangers come and stop her, but as she escapes, she damages a crowded parking lot. Captain Mitchell orders Carter to put out the fires before attempt to save the people. He reluctantly does so, while a small boy is injured badly when debris falls on him. The boy goes into a coma, reminding Carter of his youth, when as he child, he became trapped in a burning building. A mysterious fireman pulled him out, and since then he's tried to follow in the man's footsteps. Carter feels he's not cut out to be a Ranger, only to discover that by putting out the fire, he prevented nearby gas tanks from exploding. By the fact he followed Mitchell's order instead of his gut reaction, he prevented the citizens from even deadlier damage. Mitchell assures Carter that he believes he's a great Red Ranger. Carter helps his team destroy Vypra's quake spikes, and destroy a new giant demon. Later, the boy Carter failed to save comes out of his coma, safe and sound.

The Rangers are given the task of helping a scientist named Dr. Hanson deliever a powerful fuel cell to the Aquabase. Dana, though, is told by her father and commanding officer, Captain Mitchell, to pick up an old friend of his instead. She reluctantly does so, driving the old southern man, named Earl, to the Aquabase. The other Rangers encounter a demon called Fireor, who tries to get the fuel cell from them. Dana wants to go to their aide, but her father denies her permission. She believes Earl and her father are going fishing, only to find out that the ice cooler he has with him actually contains the true fuel cell. Vypra learns the other Rangers are just a decoy, and attacks Earl & Dana. They manage to get away, and keep the fuel cell from getting too overheated. After the cell is taken to the Aquabase, Dana rejoins her teammates, and they stomp out Fireor's flames for good with the Megazord.

At the Aquabase's Weapons Lab, Ms. Fairweather is working on new tools for the Rangers. Joel tries to ask her out, only to get called off to action. A bat demon aptly named "Gold Beaked Monster" is joined by the Batlings, but ends up being destroyed easily by the Rangers' Rescue Blasters. Vypra shows up suddenly, in her new super-fast custome made buggie, known as the Vyprari. She makes quick work of the Rangers, blasting them with its weapons system. The Rescue Rover gets damaged heavily in the fight. Soon at the Aquabase, Joel continues flirting with Ms. Fairweather. Due to a misunderstanding, she leads him to believe that he's building a super sonic jet pack just for him. His ego is popped when she reveals to the whole team that she's created Lightspeed Cycles for each one of them. Using the Ranger-colored bikes, they're able to knock the Vyprari down a peg. Plus still have time to easily defeat another aptly named demon, called Elestomp, with just the Rescuebird! Later, Joel tries to persuade Fairweather into getting more personal. She makes up a lie about Lightspeed Regulation 322.1, which states there is to be no fraternization between squad members. He's dissapointed, but she promises that if there were no rule against it, they'd have a great time. His spirits lifted, Joel heads out on his Green Lightspeed Cycle for a test run, happily cheering all the way.

When a demon named Strikning attacks, the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers are unable to stop him. Luckily they get back-up in the form of five robotic doubles, the Cyborg Rangers! They share the same Lightspeed powers and suits, but with darker boots & gloves, plus antennas. It turns out, that the highers up in the Lightspeed military chain of command (that being an older man named General McKnight, and his main scientist, Dr. Harlan) are behind them. Captain Mitchell is helpless, as McKnight strips the five human Rescue Recruits of their Morphers. It's decided that those "kids" are less reliable than the five platnium-alloy skinned, super-strong and remote controlled Cyborg Rangers. Fairweather has concerns about the one thing they lack that only a human can bring: a heart. Soon enough, the Cyborgs fight Strikning, and wind up short-circuiting. They go beserk, attacking Dr. Hansen and destroying buildings. The five powerless Ranger recruits manage to save Hansen, and Captain Mitchell reinstates them. They regain their Rescue Morphers, defeat the demon, destroy the rampaging Cyborg Rangers, and are thanked by a humbled General McKnight.

Chad, the karate expert, takes him down without missing a beat. Soon, all five Rangers face a new demon, Smogger. He can release deadly sprays of gas and firepower. Kelsey ends up getting caught in a backdraft created by the demon, and gets blasted into a coma, despite Chad's attempt to save her.
Meanwhile, Brian, having lost his girlfriend, seeks Vypra's help. He wants to destroy Chad, so she grants him increased power, turning him into her own zombie. Chad & Brian fight later, viciously.
Chad manages to convince Brian that what he's doing isn't right, and they break the spell together. Kelsey waks up in the hospital, and drags herself into battle. Ms. Fairweather gives her a new weapon, the Rescue Speeder, which is a high-powered sidecar to the Red Lightspeed Cycle. She uses it to help defeat Smogger.

Dana takes the day off to head up to the nearby dormant volcano known as Mount Jasmine. She makes the mistake of taking the bus there, and ends up being held at gunpoint when the bus is taken captive by a bank robber. Meanwhile, in Skull Cavern, Queen Bansheera makes her spirit-form debut. The demons explain the situation, with the city now where her palace once was. They increase their efforts to wipe out Mariner Bay, with the baby Impus coming up with a plan (Jinxer, his babysitter, can understand the cooing creature) to channel Mount Jasmine's lava flow through the city. They send the demon called Trifire (a three headed dog) to initiate this. His actions cause the volcano to become more active, and for the bus with Dana, the hostages, and the bandit, to swerve out of control. Everyone comes together to keep the bandit from falling to his doom when the bus ends up hanging off a cliff. The Rangers assist the bus in getting back on solid ground, but with the bus driver injured, the near-death-reformed bandit is the only one capable of driving the bus back to the city. Dana joins her teammates, and they defeat Trifire with the Megazord. Later, the bandit, named Steven Harrison, turns himself over to the police, and accepts his punishment. Dana, and the passengers, are grateful for his change of heart, and the cops promise to consider his good deeds in his sentencing. At Skull Cavern, Queen Bansheera has plans to not let this volcano plot dry up totally...

The Vilevine monster attaches pods to the Lightspeed Rangers, which will bloom at noon, releasing poisonious spores that'll wipe out the city. It'll take a risky trip into space to face the vaccuum to save not only the planet, but the five teens as well. Meanwhile, Olympius stages a coup on Vypra & Loki, getting Vilevine to bury them deep underground. But when they pop out in Egypt, Vypra ventures the Ancient Tomb she and the demons were sealed in for 5000 years, and summons Diabolico from the Shadow World! Ryan, in the area looking for a way to re-seal the demons, spies on the events.

That is, until Olympius, aware of the double-cross, taints the energy, turning Trakeena into a giant, raging beast! The Lightspeed Megazord, powered up by the LG's Lights of Orion, is able to take her down, once and for all. The LG Rangers return to Mirinoi on their Jet Jammers, and Heather is made an official Junior Ranger by Lightspeed for her deeds of assistance.

Diabolico swears off Bansheera for this disloyal move, vowing to see her downfall personally. Meanwhile, in the outskirts of Mariner Bay, Carter accidentally bumps into Olympius, who's still recovering from his near-defeat.
This keeps the Red Ranger busy while his friends are in danger, but he is still able to swoop in via the Red Mobile Armored Vehicle and rescue them in the nick of time.

Lightspeed tests drawing power from the Rangers' lifeforce, concluding such a thing is too dangerous to attempt. Diabolico has a final showdown with his rival, Olympius. The winner turns out to be Olympius, who returns to his mother, Queen Bansheera, along with his captive.
She makes Diabolico into a mindless zombie, and he's sent to join Olympius in attacking the Lightspeed Rangers. But some repeated reminding in battle breaks the spell on Diabolico, causing him to turn on Olympius once more.
This leads to his destruction, and revival as a giant demon, alongside an even more bestial red-dragon form for Olympius. Despite the dangers, the Lifeforce Megazord (a repaint of the Lightspeed Solarzord) is unveiled in action, and the Rangers' combined life energies fuel it to a victory against both of the Super Demons. But despite their victory, Jinxer has the last laugh....

Carter mounts a rescue attempt into the Skull Cavern dimension. Meanwhile, the Batling Card which Jinxer attached to the leg of the Lifeforce Megazord is brought to life, creating a trojan horse of an army of Batlings inside the Lightspeed Aquabase!
They siege the place, leading to a massive evacuation, especially when the Batlings take control of the Lifeforce Megazord and begin to trash the Aquabase with it.
In the city, the Omega Megazord has JUST been repaired from its battle with the Super Demons, when Jinxer and some Batlings take control of it, and begin to clear out buildings and haul in large stones, with which to summon Skull Cavern from the pocket dimension, right in the middle of Mariner Bay's city!

In the year 3000, peace reigns thanks to an elite team of police officers known as Time Force. They've captured every evil mutant in the planet, save for one, named Ransik. He's tracked to a warehouse, where he plans to travel back in time to an era before Time Force.
Alex, Time Force's own Red Ranger, busts in and stops him from escaping through the timestream. Ransik is arrested, and put on trial. He's found guilty, and sentenced to cryogenic containment, as all other mutants have been.
Overjoyed by this development, Alex gets engaged to his fellow TF officer & girlfriend, Jen. Jen, with her TF officer pals Katie, Lucas, and Trip, are given the task of taking Ransik to the cryo-prison. Along the way, Ransik's daughter, Nadira, and robotic servant Frax, ambush them and free their master. Ransik & pals head to the prison, take over (as well as save a whale-frog mutant named Gluto from chrono-freezing), and prepare to travel back in time. Alex tracks Ransik to the prison, and fights him.
His four TF officer teammates arrive just in time to witness Ransik cutting Alex down in cold blood. Jen comforts Alex as he passes away; he gives her his Chrono-Morpher and tells her to follow Ransik via Time Force's own method of time travel. Ransik & Co. take the entire sublevel of the prison with them as they pass through a Time Hole.
Paramedics try to revive Alex, leaving Jen seeking vengeance. She convinces her three teammates to come with her, as they hijack the TF Time Ship, and head into the Time Vortex (located next to the TF HQ) to follow Ransik into the past.

NOTE: POWER RANGERS TIME FORCE begins with this episode.
There's a big edit during the pre-credits scene. Ransik prepares to rush into the small time portal, and suddenly, we see him on the opposite side, as the Red Ranger enters holding his badge. Early promotions for this episode showed that Alex threw his Chrono-Saber at the time portal console, causing it to explode, and for Ransik to rush through the empty portal loop.
In the courtroom scene, an Aquitian, a water-dwelling member of the alien race from planet Aquitar ("Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers"), is shown in the crowd.
An unnamed mutant with a large red jacket and green mohawk, is shown being chrono-frozen. He'd be seen more prominently in "A Parting Of Ways".
The basic idea for this episode, and a great deal of the future city footage, as well as Time Ship launch, comes from Mirai Sentai Timeranger (Future Taskforce Time Rangers) #01: "Toki No Toubousha (The Fugitives Of Time)"
Debut of the Trans-Warp Megazord, which won't be named until "Movie Madness (2)."
Trip, the gentle green haired teen Time Force Officer, is said to be a member of the Xybrian race (spelling varies, could be Zybrian).
Wes (Jason Faunt) and Mr. Collins (Edward Laurence Albert) are on the opening credits, but do not appear in this episode (aside from Faunt being as Alex, which is only listed on the end credits).

Both Ransik & Company, and the four Time Force officers, land in the year 2001. The Prison "ship" arrives safely (yet ends up hidden in the forest by next episode), but the TF Time Ship crashes on the beach. It explodes, with the four TF officers barely escaping. They head into the nearby city of Silver Hills, and search for the mutants with their special DNA scanning sunglasses. They eventually find Nadira, with her gang of nut & bolt robot drones called Cyclobots, stealing jewlery & money. The four confront her, only to find that the Chrono-Morphers left on the Time Ship fail to work. Powerless, the Cyclobots manage to beat the TFs severly.
Jen is in danger, until a strange motorcylist saves her. He fights well, and when he takes off his helmet, he appears to be a blonde lookalike of Alex!
The man, named Wes Collins, is thanked by Jen (who overcomes her shock at his apperance), and departs. Soon, the TFs realize that each Chrono-Morpher reads a DNA lock on the wearer. Thus, Alex's Red Morpher needs someone with similar DNA to reactivate it. Only when his is reactivated, can the other four be activated. Jen, against her better judgment, meets Alex's possible decendant, Wes, at his mansion.
Turns out Wes' father is a billionaire. Wes uses Jen as an excuse to his father to get out of a board meeting. Jen tells him her story, but he thinks she's nuts and refuses to help. The four TFs try to face Ransik and his gang of mutants in the city unmorphed. Luckily, Wes reconsiders, and shows up just in time. The five heroes use their Chrono-Morphers, and transform into Time Force Power Rangers.
They take on the Cyclobots successfully, and bring a halt to Nadira's crime spree for the moment. Once the mutants flee, Jen forcibly takes Wes' Morpher back. She's angered by the fact that Wes is nothing like Alex, more carefree and immature. Wes leaves, despite the other TFs having objections.

The four Time Force officers return to the beach, and attempt the salvage the remains of the Time Ship. They find the hologram viewing screen, which transmits a message to and from the future. Captain Logan, who had relieved them of duty before and was quite angry when they swiped the ship, is on duty.
He tells them that without the Time Ship, they can't send human help, but will offer Time Force's weaponary to aid their recapturing of Ransik & company. In Silver Hills, Wes ditches another board meeting to fight a gang of Cyclobots in a bank. The Rangers save him before Nadira can chop his head off. Jen then chews his head off, scolding him for playing around and acting like this is all a game. Wes goes home, and struggles through another forced meeting with businessmen for his father. He then spots Trip in the backyard, and uses this as an excuse to sneak off.
Trip believes Wes is a good person, thanks to his mind-reading powers. He tells Wes, via a flashback, about Alex and what he meant to Jen & the team. Wes understands, and soon tells Jen that while he'll never be the man Alex was, he now has something to fight for. Namely, the honor of his possible decendant's memory. Jen believes him, gives him back his Chrono-Morpher, and he joins them in battle.
Ransik has Frax activate the Reanimator machines in the Prison Ship. He places a chrono-frozen mutant inside it, causing it to regrow back to normal size. The first mutant monster is named Jetara. He's some kind of rocket powered robotic turtle. The Rangers confront him, and when he removes a patch on his body, his mutant DNA becomes exposed. He grows to gigantic heights, prompting Circuit to summon the five Time Flyers from the future.
They form together into the Time Force Megazord, with two configurations, Red Mode & Blue Mode. After a lengthy fight, Jetara is defeated, reshrunk, and recaptured by our heroes. The TF officers all accept Wes as a member of their team at last.

The four timelost Time Force Officers remain at the Time Ship ruins on the beach. They're at a loss for money and living quarters. Wes drops by and has a solution to at least one of their worries. He brings them to a very old Clock Tower in Silver Hills, which is owned by his rich father.
Seems nobody has lived in it for a long time, and it is in a state of disrepair. The TFs are at first repulsed by the place, namely due to the lack of an elevator, but Jen discovers it can serve as a strategic lookout point for the whole city. They decide to stay, and begin to clean the Clock Tower up.
Meanwhile, Nadira gets a manicure by the Cyclobots.
Her mindless staring into the TV set inspires Ransik to announce his arrival in the present via television. Soon, Wes & Jen go off to buy some food for their teammates, but fail to get out of the Clock Tower before they meet a strange businessman. His name's Ivan, and according to the front office of the Clock Tower, it used to be a place called "Nick Of Time Odd Jobs". Desperate for money, Jen & Wes agree to help Ivan out. They end up painting the hallway of a television studio.
Wes gets captured by some Cyclobots, and is drug off to face Ransik, who is broadcasting his demands in the studio. His mutant of the day, a strange white creature named Fearog, blows up some buildings to highlight the seriousness of Ransik's threat. Wes is held before Ransik, who informs the Red Ranger of his origin: It seems that in the year 3000, genetics have advanced to the point that all children have perfect DNA.
One of the many embreo tubes containing the DNA ended up breaking and spilling into the sewer. Its instinct to survive caused it to become a human amid the waste. That mutant was Ransik, who wandered alleyways as an outcast due to his mutilated face. He finally decided to make humanity pay for their shunning of him, and he organized an army of fellow mutants to start a crime spree. The other Rangers then break Wes out, and the team fight Fearog. The mutant grows, but is soon re-Chrono Shrunk by the Time Force Megazord, as usual.
Later, Ivan gives the teens money for their successful paintjob. They use it to buy pizza. Wes mentions Ransik's origin to Jen, who denies the sob story, saying that people did try to help him, but he refused. She appears to be hiding something, though.

NOTE: The anchorman credited for the episode appears nowhere in the show!
The mutant's name, Fearog, was the same name of a monster in the Power Rangers In Space episode "The Great Evilyzer". That creature was never named onscreen, though.
What lies beneath Ransik's face mask is revealed here to be pink mutilated flesh. He appears to have been born that way.
The laser weapons the Time Force Officers use are called "Time Blasters" here by Wes, though they'll later be properly called (as they are in the toyline) "Chrono-Blasters".
This episode features footage [the giant Fearog battle] from Mirai Sentai Timeranger #04 "Hitojichi ha Iseijin (The Hostage Is An Alien)".

The four Time Force Officers begin to settle into the Clock Tower, and have moved on to cleaning the outside of the Nick Of Time Odd Jobs office. Wes pulls up in his BMW, which Lucas admires. Wes treats him like a primitive when it comes to cars of the 21st Century, and is shocked to learn that Lucas is a champion race car driver in 3000. He knows how to drive, alright, but fails to understand traffic laws of the present. Lucas gets a ticket for numerous violations, and is ordered to get a Driver's License. While doing so, he notices the Nadira, along with a mutant named Mantamobile (a blue manta ray type who can control and alter cars).
They've robbed an armored truck, as well as a bank, in their own sleek Mutant Mobiles. Lucas gives chase, scaring the wits out of his instructor, Mr. Picketts. Unable to catch them, Lucas tells his teammates. Trip opens up one of the cases that came with the Time Ship, and reveals the Vector Cycles.
They use these five new specially designed battle bikes to end Nadira's stealing spree. Mantamobile proves too tough, so the combined weapon known as the Vortex Blaster is introduced. Lucas ends up having to retake his Driving Exam, which sends the injured Mr. Picketts fleeing.

The Vector Cycles are introduced, one matching each color & shape-symbol for each Time Force Ranger. They're similar to bikes driven by the Time Force police in "Force From The Future (1)".
The Vortex Blaster is also introduced. It's made up of five V cannon weapons, two of which Yellow & Green Rangers used in the second episode.
The cop who pulls Lucas over has a nametag with the name "B Mitchell" on it, a possible reference to Captain William Mitchell of PRLR. Similarly, Mr. Picketts shares a last name with Kendrix lookalike Carolyn Picketts from PRLG.
This episode features footage, and a small bit of story elements, from Mirai Sentai Timeranger #03 "Yume No Kasukudo (A Dream Of Speed)" [Most of the Mantamobile footage following the end of the road battle through the Megazord fight].

Nadira schemes for yet more money, this time using Tentaclaw, a mutant who kidnapped the mayor back in 3000. Tentaclaw (who can detach his smaller, purple, alien-headed body from his neck) hijacks a school bus. The kids on it are held for a ransom of 10 Million Dollars.
The Time Force Rangers attempt to save them, but their Vector Cycles are unable to keep up with the bus. Red Time Force Ranger Wesley decides to ask his rich father, Mr. Collins, for help in getting the money. He refuses, so Wes takes it without permission.
The Rangers are able to get the kids to safety, defeat Tentaclaw, and regain the ransom. Wes returns home with it, but tricks his father into a press conference, where it's announced he'll donate the money to charity.
Wes heeds his wise butler's advice, and plans to follow his heart, by striking out on his own. Mr. Collins is quite upset, as he had plans for Wes to take over for him at the Bio Synth Lab, but understands.
Wes moves into the Clock Tower with the other Rangers.

Nadira turns her sights on Circuit, the Rangers' robotic owl pal with the ability to contact the future and summon the Megazord. Trip, Circuit's apparent creator, has trouble of his own, when his Xybrian mind-reading powers annoy Lucas one last time.
Lucas places a bandage over Trip's forehead gem, grounding his powers for one day. Trip sulks in the city, and winds up bumping into Nadira, who tricks him into believing she's fled her father. She uses this distraction to kidnap Circuit, and take him to a train yard to have the mutant of the day, Medicon, operate on him. Circuit's circuitry is sabotaged, causing him to speak gibberish.
Medicon attacks the city, and the Rangers are unable to get the Megazord due to the lack of the owl's assistance. Lucas reminds Trip that he should use his powers when something is incredibly important. Trip uses his gem, finds Circuit, fights Nadira, repairs the birdbot, and the day is saved.

The name of the tornado-inducing attack by the Time Force Megazord in Jet Mode is finally revealed: Cyclone Defense.
This episode was originally titled "Digit In Danger". Digit was Circuit's name originally, and in fact, was his name until the week before the first episode aired. ADR dubbing has corrected this from being too apparent on the show, at least. How far into the series they called him Digit is unknown.
This episode featured footage from Mirai Sentai Timeranger #07: "Domon Nyuuinchuu (Domon Is Hospitalized)" [All of the Megazord fight with Medicon]; And Timeranger episode #12: "Hoshi ni Negai o (Wish Upon A Star)" [The opening sequence fight with the unnamed Grimmly mutant].

Wes tries warming up to Jen, only to find she's still as cold to him as ever. At the Prison Ship, a mutant aptly named Fatcatfish is reanimated. He's a bounty hunter, so Ransik hires him with some cash. Nadira becomes drawn to this love for money, and charms him enough to get a free shopping spree from him. Fatty shoots down some Cyclobots with his gatling arm for no real reason, angering Frax. Seems Frax has dreams of his fellow robots claiming superiority over all other forms of life. Fatcatfish faces the Rangers in the city, and starts taunting Jen about her dead boyfriend. Seems she & Alex fought him back in the year 3000, and barely were able to bring him in. This sparks bad memories of Alex's demise, to the point that she tries to destroy the mutant. Her teammates can hardly calm her down, and keep her from violating the Time Force code of bringing the mutants in alive. Later, Frax replicates Fatcatfish's image & voice, and plants an invite on Jen. She follows it, thinking Fatty is cutting a deal and going to give her Ransik. Instead, it turns out to be an ambush. Jen comes prepared with two Chrono-Blasters, but is unable fight Ransik herself. His painfully increasing mutation saves her from being sliced in half. The other Rangers find her bruised body, and get her to safety. The next day, she wakes up to find Wes by her side. She's moved by his compassion for her well being, but sneaks out again, and tracks down Fatcatfish. She's ready to eliminate him mercilessly, when the other Rangers show up, and Wes asks her what Alex would do. Jen realizes he would do everything by the book. Fatcatfish is instead taken out via the Megazord, and chrono-frozen once again. Jen later admits to Wes that she doesn't want him to be like Alex, and likes him just the way he is. She denies it in front of the others, though.

Gluto appears, but fails to speak.
Jen makes a PR first, by using the word 'death', in this line, "I WON'T let his DEATH be in vain!"
It's revealed that the recaptured mutants are stored, in their chrono-tubes, inside a large freezer in the Clock Tower. The sum as of the end of this episode: 8 mutants in cold storage.
Footage and some story elements for this episode are from Mirai Sentai Timeranger #05 "Dai 3 No Gattai (The 3rd Combination)" The story was similar, though quite different, involving TimePink's entire family having been killed by Fatcatfish instead.

The company owned by Wes' father, Bio-Lab, unveils a top secret project 20 years in the making. The Raimei is a drill-tank, with intent of protecting Silver Hills from monster attacks. Izout, a purple eye-less mercenary, suddenly breaks into the building with some Cyclobots. They then steal a bucket of golden dust from Bio-Lab, known as Zirium powder. Izout gives it to Frax, and then fights the Rangers. The mutant's shotgun weapon and grenades are too powerful for the Time Force Megazord in Mode Blue, actually crippling it in the middle of battle. The Time Jet luckily blasts Izout's own weapons, and causes him to shrink into Chrono-Froze mode before he can attack the defenseless city. The five Time Flyers return to the future, and the Rangers get the news from Captain Logan that they're too badly damaged to be sent anytime soon. In the present, Frax works behind Ransik's back to turn the Zirium powder into a powerful fuel source known as the Trizirium crystal. He uses it to power his own robotic monster creation, named Tronicon. The large robot attacks the city, and the Rangers are helpless to stop it. Bio-Lab sends the Raimei, and while its cannons work well at first, Tronicon proves too tough. The Raimei is destroyed within minutes. In the year 3000, a mysterious man with dark hair, a white leather suit, black gloves, and silver rimmed sunglasses spys on Time Force HQ. In a secret lab, he runs a training test for a new Megazord. The Mystery Man, also monitoring the present, sends this strange weapon, called the Time Shadow Megazord, to aid the Rangers. It creates an eclipse in the sky, and exits through a time portal within it. It flies around in Shadow Winger mode, using its lasercannons and stealth mode, before transforming into humanoid shaped Megazord. The Rangers watch as Time Shadow takes down Tronicon easily with its bladed arms and rapid movements, before returning to the future. They thank Captain Logan for sending it, only to find out that Time Force knows nothing about it! The Mystery Man, with Time Shadow at his command, waits for his next move.

At the Prison Ship, Frax is severely scolded by Ransik for his use of a robot in the previous episode. Ransik's pro-mutant mania leads to him blasting Frax, causing his henchbot to fall under the center console. There, Frax discovers a hidden key.
He takes it in secret, and uses it to open a hidden chamber, known as the X Vault. It was thought only to be a rumor, where the worst of the worst were kept. Meanwhile at the Clock Tower, Katie spends time missing the family she left behind in the future.
While searching for other weapons resources in the present, Circuit discovers that the Raimei tank from last episode never existed! This leads to a discussion about how their actions in the present are effecting the course of history.
Katie becomes fearful that this will mean her family might no longer exist. Soon, Frax releases a mutant from the X Vault, a red & white mantis-looking creature named Vexicon.
He goes into Silver Hills, tossing colorful explosives and blowing up buildings with his staff. The Rangers confront him, and wind up losing to his might. Katie suddenly has seconds thoughts about fighting, as she's lost the one thing driving her to defeat the mutants. After some deep soul searching, and a bit of advice from Wes, Katie realizes that the only way to ensure she has a future and family to go back to, is to never give up. She rejoins the fight, and helps take Vexicon down.
When the mutant grows, the Time Flyers are called in to form the Megazord. The Saber is broken by Vexicon, and the Time Shadow is also taken down by him. Circuit informs them they can create a new configuration, the combined Shadow Force Megazord. They do so, and are able to defeat the mutant.
Frax returns home, and is commended by Ransik for using a mutant this time, despite the failure. Later, Katie toasts to her teammates, gladly reminding them they're her family and that is her home, for now.

At the Clock Tower, Trip shows his newest invention to a disinterested Wes. Soon, the team is out fighting a new mutant, Redeye, a purple colored female creature.
While the others do smooth battle moves against the Cyclobots & the criminal, Trip fumbles miserably. Spurrned by this, Trip also discovers four kids in the park playing Rangers, with none of them picking Green. He goes on a crash course of exericising, trying to bulk up and be stronger. He doesn't succeed, merely amusing his teammates. Trip next sees Lucas picking up a woman on the street with a few cool pick-up lines. He tries to copy him, right down to the same outfit, but winds up knocking the woman he's hitting on into a water fountain.
Frax sends a mutant into the city, Electropede, who drains electricity. Trip stays behind as the others confront him, and get beaten severly, their Chrono-Blasters, Vector Weapons, and even their Ranger suits being drained of power.
He decides to take action in the only way he knows how, by finishing his newest invention. He brings it to the battle, and gives it to Wes. The Electro Booster attached to his Chrono-Saber, and turns the blade into a blaster. This eliminates surrounding Cyclobots, and gives Electropede a power surge which drains him of his power.
The mutant grows, the Shadow Force Megazord in Mode Blue defeats him, and shrinks him back to Chrono-Froze mode. Trip's Xybrian powers detect the four kids from earlier in trouble. He saves them from being blown up, and becomes their new hero. The other Rangers celebrate Trip's successful save, by all wearing green wigs to match his hair.

At the Clock Tower, Jen attempts to give the team a peptalk on their poor fighting performance in the last battle. But they grow bored with it. Soon, Nick Of Time Odd Jobs is given the task of picking up garbage. As they do so, Wes' father, Mister Collins, passes by in his limo.
He's disgusted to see that his son left home to pick up other people's trash. Just around the corner, Nadira and her Cyclobots finish another stealing spree.
They're stopped by a troop of blue uniformed men with Blasters, known as the Silver Guardians. They're able to destroy most of the Cyclos, sending Nadira into a retreat. The five TFs witness this in shock. One Silver Guardian, a black haired teenager named Eric Myers, greets Wes.
Seems Eric & Wes went to Prep School together, and were somewhat pals. Later, our heroes see a press conference on television, revealing that the Silver Guardians are owned by Mr. Collins. They protect property for a price. Wes is outraged that his dad is up to his old tricks again, only out for the money.
Eric, meanwhile, remembers back on his days with Wes, and how much he resented him. While he was a great fighter, he never had enough money to fit in. Soon, Frax sends another X Vault villain into the city, named Univolt, a brown mantis type with a rifle. The Rangers and Silver Guardians face him. Red Ranger takes a fatal blast from Univolt's gun aimed for Eric & Commander Porter. His helmet visor is shattered, revealing his eyes to Eric, who immediately recognizes him. Mister Collins is also there, and is stunned to find his son is a Ranger. They exchange words, with Wes firmly stating that he doesn't want to be like his father, and is making a difference. Eric grows even more resentful that Wes has gotten another break in life without having earned it.
Wes heads back into battle, and the Rangers defeat the mutant with simply their Vortex Blaster. The next day, Mr. Collins tries convincing his son to join the Silver Guardians. He refuses. Collins accepts his wishes, though he doesn't understand his son, but is secretly proud of him.

At the Silver Hills Historical Society dinosaur dig site, a strange find is made. A small, silver, red, & yellow energy box, buried near a cave drawing of a strange massive silver Tyrannosaurus Rex. A news report shows the box to the public, claiming it was found in soil dating back to the Jurassic period, some 150 Million Years ago.
Ransik recognizes the box & cave drawing, as belonging to Time Force. The mutant named Brickneck is sent to retrieve this item, known as the Quantum Controller. He & the Cyclobots attack the archeologists, but the Silver Guardians ambush them. The humans are no match for the bots alone, and soon, the Time Force Rangers appear.
During the fight, Wes is badly injured again, and loses the Quantum Controller. Eric, his former sorta-pal from Prep School and current Silver Guardian, snatches it up and hides it at a Storage Depot. He attempts to ask Mr. Collins for a promotion to the Commander of the SGs, but is refused. This inspires him to return to the site, where he takes on an army of Cyclobots by himself. The Rangers learn from Circuit that the Quantum Controller Box was the control device for the Quantasaurus Red Megazord (the cave wall drawing). Circa 3000, when Time Force first began testing time travel, they sent the Q-Rex through the vortex. The box & it got separated, and both lost in time. Our heroes get an alert that Brickneck has traced the QCB to the Storage Depot.
Wes, still injured, follows along after them. While the main four face the mutant, he encounters Eric. They fight side by side against the Cyclos, but Wes succumbs to his injuries, and watches helplessly as Eric slips the QCB onto his arm, activating the Quantum Morpher.
He morphs into the Quantum Ranger explosively. The Quantum Ranger, a darker red & black version of the Red Time Force Ranger, single handedly trashes all of the Cyclobots, and with help from his Quantum Defender blaster/saber, and his Morpher's vocal instructions, Eric re-Chrono Freezes Brickneck. The other Rangers are grateful for the Quantum Ranger's help, but wonder what the power-hungry Eric will do with these new powers.

The Rangers attempt to reason with Eric, asking him quite nicely to return the Quantum Morpher to them. He refuses, enjoying the power it gives him. Having failed to get the Quantum Ranger Powers themselves, the evil mutants scheme to go back in time to retrieve the missing Quantasaurus Red Megazord. Ransik sends Commandocon, a heavily armored creature, off to open a Time Hole in the sky. He hops into it, but not before gaining the attention of the 6 Rangers nearby. Eric morphs into the Quantum Ranger, and summons his own personal flight vehicle, the TF Eagle. He plans to get the Q-Rex before anyone else, but Wes manages to tag along, hanging on the wing of the one-seater jet as it takes off. The TF Eagle passes through the Time Hole safely, nearly blowing the Red Time Force Ranger off inside the vortex. It lands at the opposite end of the portal, in a prehistoric jungle. Wes awakens, and admires the various species of dinosaur roaming through the bushes. Eric figures they went back about roughly 150 Million Years. He pushes Wes around, scolding him for following along. Their fight gets interrupted by an angry mother Tyrannosaurus Rex, whose nest of eggs Wes nearly fell on. Eric & Wes aid each other in running through the jungle, trying to escape the hungry beast.
Wes eventually gets tail-swiped off the side of a cliff by the T-Rex, leaving Eric to hide inside of a small cave nearby. The T-Rex, unable to reach either of them, gives up and leaves. Eric stumbles around the cave, discovering it to be the same one archeologists dug up in the previous episode. He reads the cave wall drawings, and deciphers that the Quantasaurus Rex is in the active volcano in the distance. Meanwhile, Wes has managed to survive the fall somehow, and injuredly wanders toward the volcano. He nearly gets stomped by the giant robotic Q-Rex, as it heads to the volcano as well, apparently living in a huge cave there. Commandocon beats the weary Red Ranger down, and gets into the cave first.
He implants a controlling device on the Q-Rex's head, and orders it to follow him. Outside, Wes tries to stop the mutant, only to end up fighting Eric again. The Quantum Ranger, foolishly believing the Red Ranger is lying about the mutant, attacks him, and quickly gains the upperhand. Before Eric can use his Quantum Defender pointblank on Wes, he notices the Time Hole reopening. Quantum Ranger leaves the Red Ranger behind, hops into the TF Eagle, just as Commandocon & the Q-Rex escape through the portal. The nearby volcano starts to erupt violently, trapping Wes amid a cave-in of the entire area below his feet. Red Ranger falls into the lava flow, but is rescued by Quantum Ranger on the TF Eagle, claiming they're now even for the earlier saves. The two fly up into the Time Hole, just before it closes, and return to the present. In 2001, Quantasaurus Rex tears through the city, destroying buildings under Commandocon's control.
Wes thanks Eric for the save, but gets dumped off the TF Eagle harshly by the annoyed Quantum Ranger. Red Ranger falls a steep distance for a third time this episode. His four teammates join him, and helplessly watch the Q-Rex's rampage.
Quantum Ranger tries to use his Morpher to stop the Zord, but the signal is blocked! Ransik & his fellow mutants teleport atop a roof, and witness the beginning of his reign of terror...

NOTE: Gluto talks for the first time since "A Parting Of Ways".
The TF Eagle, Quantum Ranger's black & white hover-jet, is introduced here. No explanation for it, so it's likely just another item which came with the Quantum Morpher. Its design is slightly different than the Deluxe TF Eagle toy.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex attacking Eric & Wes in this episode was apparently a mix of animatronics and stop-motion. Other dinosaurs were animatronics (such as the Stegosaurus & Triceratops), while a few were CGI (the Pteradactyle).
The cave wall drawing of the Quantasaurus Rex Megazord, first seen in "The Quantum Quest", implies that a primative form of man may have existed in the Jurassic Period on Earth. This fictional historical fact is nothing new for Power Rangers, with all of its ancient alien races and such...
This episode features some Quantasaurus & Commandocon footage from Mirai Sentai Timeranger #30, "Todoke Honoo no Sakebi (Register Fire's Command)".
Mr. Collins (Edward Laurence Albert) does not appear in this episode.
Available in North America on the "Power Rangers Time Force- Quantum Ranger: Clash for Control" VHS.

Commandocon continues controlling the Quantasaurus Rex. The Time Force Rangers call in the TF & Time Shadow Megazords to halt its rampage. They fight hard, with the TS injuring the Q-Rex's shoulder, causing it to retreat.
The TFs realize the only way to control the Q-Rex is to regain the Quantum Morpher, with which Trip can attempt to bypass the blocking device. Eric, meanwhile, vies for the role of the Silver Guardians' Commander, revealing to Mr. Collins that he's the Quantum Ranger. Collins will only give him the promotion if he can regain the Q-Rex. As Wes meets with Eric, in an attempt to peacefully get the Quantum Morpher back, Mr. Collins visits the Clock Tower, and offers to hire the four Time Force Officers from the future. Red TF Ranger & the Quantum Ranger do battle, leading to a stand-still when the Quantasaurus Rex repairs itself and is lead back to the city by Commandocon.
Eric believes the four TFs will be working for him, but when they arrive, he's a bit stunned to learn they turned Collins' offer down, choosing to stand behind Wes. The Shadow Force Megazord combats Q-Rex, Commandocon grows large, and Quantum Ranger tries once more to regain control. He fires his Quantum Defender at Q-Rex's head, striking the signal blocker. Eric now has voice control, through his Morpher, of the Q-Rex.
Under prompting of the internal computer, Quantum Ranger has it transform into Quantasaurus Rex Megazord Mode. The upright standing metal beast uses its Max Blizzard attack, and Chrono-Freezes Commandocon back to shrunken form.
Later, Eric is promoted to Commander by Mr. Collins, as promised. Wes is overwhelmed by the fact his teammates turned down his rich father's proposal, which could have benefitted their war with Ransik. Jen jokingly "reconsiders," surprising everyone, given her usually serious nature.

Mr. Collins announces at a press conference that the Quantum Ranger now leads the Silver Guardians.
He introduces Doctor Michael Zaskin, a scientist from Bio-Lab in charge of analyzing the Quantum Powers and creating duplicate weapons for the rest of the Guardians. Wes is quite unhappy with news of his father ever-expanding his influence to the Ranger market. Zaskin is later kidnapped by the latest mutant, Klawlox, a yellow ant-like headed creature with claws.
Zaskin's young daughter, Holly, watches him being kidnapped by Klawlox, Nadira, and some Cyclobots. The drones try to capture her, but she gets away. While wandering around, she discovers Lucas, offering Nick Of Time Odd Jobs' services to a lady in distress. Holly hires Lucas to be her bodyguard, and he reluctantly accepts, until he learns exactly who she is from his teammates. Klawlox attacks Lucas as he drives Holly into the mountains. The other Rangers track down Zaskin, who's being tortured by Nadira & the Cyclobots, in an attempt to learn everything he's discovered about the Quantum Powers.
Eric informs Mister Collins of Dr. Zaskin's kidnapping, and all he's worried about is if he spills the information or not. The Silver Guardians arrive just as the Rangers have freed Zaskin and are facing Nadira. Zaskin thanks the Rangers, though Eric later claims to Collins that the Guardians saved him single-handedly. Lucas protects Holly, but is unable to save her teddy bear Theo. He's forced to Morph in front of her.
Klawlox eventually grows, and proves so tough that the Quantasaurus Rex Megazord has to help the Shadow Force Megazord out, whether the Rangers like it or not.
Once the mutant is refrozen, Holly is brought home safe and sound. She promises to keep Lucas' identity a secret, and he gives her a replacement stuffed bear. Dr. Zaskin is quite grateful. Lucas denies his teammate's playful claims of him being a big old softie at heart.

The Time Force Officers try in vain to fix the run-down and ancient Clock Tower. Katie learns of its history, and how a previous owner of the building, Walter Brown, is said to haunt the attic, srill lovelorn for a girl he never fought for.
Katie wanders up there, bumps into his restless spirit, and accidentally falls into a random Time Hole. She emerges in Silver Hills, a colonial village, circa the early 1800s. Soon, Katie meets Walter Brown in person, and learns he's a gentle poet in love with a girl named Gwen.
Only problem is, her boyfriend Drake is a bully who loves to push poor Walter around. Katie helps Walter get up enough confidence to confront Drake, and manages to win Gwen's heart by punching Drake in the groin. The entire tale appears to be a dream, when Katie wakes up in the Clock Tower at the present day with no memory of returning.
After heading off to battle with Cyclobots, and capturing the mutant of the day with the rest of the Rangers, Katie informs them of her adventure. Wes, having told her Walter Brown's story the night before, is quite confused, since the story he remembers telling Katie had Walter & Gwen living happily ever after. Katie discovers history has changed for the better, and that it was no dream... though the Clock Tower remains a little spooky.

NOTE: This was the 8th episode of the season produced, though held off and aired later, due to its "single-story" nature. It was made between "Short-Circuited" and "Jen's Revenge".
Eric (Daniel Southworth), Ransik (Vernon Wells), Nadira (Kate Sheldon), and Mr. Collins (Edward Laurence Albert) do not appear in this episode.
The mutant of the day, a blue robotic cop-type creature, is never named nor credited (nor shown being Chrono-Frozen).
The notion of an English Colony in Revolution-era California is nothing new to Power Rangers. Colonial Angel Grove was featured in Season 2's "Return Of The Green Ranger". This episode seems to reference that weird bit of alternate history.

Cole searches for his family to no avail. His ability to understand animals leads him to freeing the test subjects from an illegal animal labratory. The man & woman who run said lab are revealed to be evil creatures called Orgs. Duke Orgs, at that, named Jindrax & Toxica. Lesser, two-horned Orgs, called the Turbine Org & Plug Org, encounter a group of four Power Rangers. These Wild Force Rangers, lacking a Red Ranger, fail to defeat them. Luckily, Princess Shayla, their mentor, learns of Cole, and long story short, he's the Red Wild Force Ranger.

We also learn how he changes his mind, and he soon learns he was right to make that decision when he catches his daughter battling the Samurai Org in her Ranger coustume (a fighting pose by Allya gives her identity away to her father who is familiar with it), The Rangers defeat Samurai Org with the Jungle Sword, and when he is made giant, the Rangers defeat him with the aid of the Tiger Zord and Konga Zord.
Later, Allysa finally reunites with her father, but by this time, night has nearly fallen, and it is time for Mr.Enrile to leave Turtle Cove, before he does, he tells his daughter how proud he is of her.

NOTE: The final episode of Power Rangers to debut on the Fox Children's Network (Fox Kids), after nearly 9 years of solid airings. Its move came out of two things only: one, Fox's affiliates grew to hate the Kids' programming, wanting to run their own stuff, such as 50 episodes of Judge Judy a day, and endless infomercials. Two, Haim Saban sold Saban Entertainment, and everything connected to "Fox Kids"'s parent company, Fox Family Worldwide. With Disney now owning it all, including PR (as of the end of PRTF), September 2002 was the end of the Fox Kids' contract, and allowed them to move new episodes over to their own broadcast channel, ABC.
Master Org (Ilia Volok)'s final episode until "The Master's Herald (2)", though he remained in the opening credits.
This episode is frequently skipped on U.K Power Rangers Wild Force repeat airings, though it did air during the premiere run of episodes in Britain.

Danny Slavin (Leo) filmed his Mirinoi scenes in "Forever Red" separately from the other actors, he was digitally inserted into several group shots when de-morphed, and only his back was shown at the episode's climax. He had intially decided not to participate in the episode due to a previous falling out with the production crew.
The Red Alien Ranger is the only one not to have his Morphing Sequence shown. He stays morphed the entire episode.
Features the first time Jason (Austin St. John) morphs as the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger since "The Power Transfer, Part 1" in 1994 (or "Opposites Attract" that same year not counting stock footage). Also Tommy's (Jason David Frank)first morph as the Red Zeo Ranger since 1996's "Good As Gold" and TJ's first Red Turbo Ranger morph since 1997's "Chase into Space (1)".
As originally planned, the plot was not about Machine Generals finding Serpentera, but robed alien priests attempting to resurrect Dark Specter; A Ten Zord battle was in the early planning stages, but never made it to script; and the original shooting script revealed Kimberly to be married to Skull.
Tommy will return in PRDT's "Day Of The Dino (1)." The Red Zeo Ranger will next be seen, within Tommy's mind, in PRDT's "Fighting Spirit."

For the next season, and every other season for the forseeable future, production of the show is handed over to New Zealand (where Power Rangers hasn't aired in more than a decade), as a result, most of the original production crew were laid off, with the exception of the stunt team...

Blake and Hunter appear and distract Justin from his Ninja training by getting him to do MotoCross, but in the end he realizes that he is a part of the team. He uses the Lion Hammer to blast the mole out of his hole, and then the Storm Striker squashes him with 100 tons. Of course he grows, and so Cam sends in the yellow Power Disk 4, which contains the Ram hammer. They use the ram hammer the same way as the Lion hammer, and then they smash the Molinator with Ram Hammer. In the end they talk about the Tsunami cycles and how they need to practice if they are going to use them while the two Thunder Rangers watch on saying a new battle is about to begin.

Blake and Hunter reveal the reason they helped the Wind Rangers, because Tori saved Blake's life. Meanwhile Shane, Dustin, Tori, and Cam follow them to the tomb of the Lost Ninjas.
Blake and Hunter claim that Sensei killed their parents, which leads to a big battle between the Wind Rangers and the Thunder Rangers. At the same time Tori must fight Zurgane with the Megazord. She defeats Zurgane's Megazord with the turbine blaster (a weapon formed by combining ower disks 5 and 6), but it appears it was for nothing and Hunter and Blake have escaped with Sensei.
The three follow them to the tomb of lost Ninjas where Blake and Hunter are about to destroy Sensei with some magic gems, but their parents appear and reveal the truth. It was not Sensei that killed them, but it was Luthor. Luthor appears and tries to kill all 5 rangers, but the jems reflect his power back at him causing him to disappear.
Cam throws the gems into the ocean, and the Wind Rangers wonder where Hunter and Blake have gone to, because they didn't show up for the big bike race.

This episode begins with the three Wind Rangers recording Shane as he attempts to master his skate boarding moves, but Dustin notices Kelzacks in the background. The Rangers confront the Kelzacks and are winning rather easily until Flora Bundicis appears. She drags Shane away and, with incredible speed, embarrasses the Rangers, but they do successfully keep the Kelzacks and Flora Bundicis from planting some type of weird seed. They are about to pursue her when Cam calls them to Ninja Ops. At Ninja Ops the seeds burst, and a wretched smell fills the air. Sensei insists that the Rangers take the seeds to a professor friend of his for diagnosis.
Since it is a school night and the Rangers are out late he says he will give them some type of punishment the next day, but until then they need to get a good nights sleep. Cam shows his eagerness to battle. He insists that he should go to see Dr. Belwrap instead of the Rangers because he knows about botany, but Sensei won't here of it. He says he made a promise long ago that he can't break. It's no surprise when Cam shows up at the green house. Dr. Belwrap diagnoses the seeds as a psedemia plant, a variety of plant from the Venus Flytrap family.
He also informs Cam that the seeds are no big worry unless they are raised in a special mineral water, and the closest mineral water is the volcanic springs. As Cam is leaving the greenhouse the Rangers see him. Shane instructs Tori and Dustin to go visit the Doctor while he follows Cam. Instead of meeting Dr. Belwrap, the rangers run into 2 assistants, Professor Treeleaven and Ms. Flora Roots (don't you just love the names Disney is coming up with).
They inform the Rangers that the good doctor is a little "tied up" at the moment, but they are willing to help them. Tori recognises the two as Kapri and Marah, but before her and Dustin can act they are knocked out by some sleeping powder from a flower. Shane follows Cam to the hot springs. Cam wants to collect some water to see exactly how the water affects the seeds when he is attacked by Kelzacks. Cam withstands most of them, but Shane decides to help out anyway.
They keep the Kelzacks from getting any of the water, but they don't know that Flora Bundicis is already raising one of the psedeumia plants in the basement of the green house, and she has all the nutrient water she needs there. As Cam returns to Ninja Ops his Father confronts him. Sensei reveals that he made a promise to Cam's mother when Cam was just a boy, and that promise was to always keep Cam out of danger. He also reveals that he thinks Cam would be the bravest of any Power Ranger, but that he won't go back on his promise. Cam accepts his father's words reluctantly. As Tori and Dustin regain consciousness the find there hands tied up by big roots. Tori calls on her water ninja powers. The water reflects the sun over to the plant, and it eventually burns through, freeing Tori and Dustin.
Tori and Dustin then free the doctor, who tells them where the monster is at. They race to the basement to try and stop Flora Bundicis, but unfortunately the plant has already grown, and it is now commanding all the dormant seeds to arise as well. Seeing that Tori and Dustin can't handle the monster alone, Sensei has Cam call Shane. Shane races to the battle, but his hawk blaster has no effect. At Ninja Ops the seeds there have grown and they are filling up the base. The only way to destroy the plant is if Shane destroys the original one, so Cam downloads a stronger Ninja Sword blade. Shane destroys the master psedeumia plant, and the other vines (including the ones at Ninja Ops) turn to dust. Needless to say this makes Flora Bundicis angry.
At first she is defeating the rangers, but they use some decoy costumes to confuse her, and then they defeat her with the Storm Striker blaster mode. Of course, Lothor makes Flora Bundicis grow, so Cam sends out the Zords.
Immediately the Rangers go to the Megazords speed mode, and they use some razor sharp daggers to weaken Flora Bundicis. Next they weaken her with the Lion's hurricane rush.
Finally they summon the Megazord's sword, and they defeat Flora Bundicis.
The episode ends with Sensei punishing his students by sending them on a little errand.
The errand is to go on a 10 mile run for being out late on a school night. They try and argue that it all turned out for good since they got the seeds and destroyed Luthor's plot by being out late, but Sensei informs them that he has taken this into consideration and that there will be no negotiations.
Cam is laughing until Sensei informs him that he to must go on the 10 mile run. Cam asks what he did wrong, and Sensei informs him that he disobeyed a direct order, but when Cam gets back they will discuss his further training.
Cam asks his father about the promise to his mother, and Sensei informs him that there are more ways to train than being directly on the battlefield. Cam's spirits are boosted, and he goes to join the Rangers on a nice lone 10 mile run.

The episode begins with Choubow meeting with Blake and Hunter in secret. He claims he is being left out and disrespected by Luthor, and so now he wants to betray Luthor. The Thunders agree to help him if he will give them the code to get into Luthor's base.
Meanwhile, Tori forces Dustin to lend her his motorbike. While out riding, Blake chases her, and causes her to bend Dustin's fender. He tells Tori of his and Hunter's plan, and they agree to let the Wind Rangers join them.
Shane is a little suspicious. He doesn't trust Choubow, and he lets his feelings known.
Choubow reveals he was is planning with Luthor the entire time by trapping the Thunder Rangers inside an energy shield which freezes them in that moment of time. He then reveals it is his plan to alter the Thunder Rangers memory and make them think the Wind Rangers are their arch enemies.
A snail alien monster is summoned to fight the Wind Rangers. His special ability is shooting out a noxious gas. He is backed, unknown to the Wind Rangers, by the Thunder Rangers. A battle assumes, but Blake starts feeling bad causing him and Hunter to drop out of the battle.
While Blake is battling his own mind, the Wind Rangers corner the snail monster and destroy him with the Storm Striker.
Of course, Luthor makes the monster grow, and so the Wind Rangers summon the Wind Megazord. They send it into Lightning mode and use the Ram Attack to weaken the snail monster.
Just then the Thunder Rangers return in their zords. They are about to combine the Thunder Megazord and join the fight when both Blake and Hunter get massive headaches. Their headaches are being caused by an alien prescence in their minds which alters their memories. Choobo zaps them with a dose of some red ray, and they once again decide to fight the Wind rangers.
While the Thunder Rangers are distracted, the Wind Rangers destroy the snail monster with the serpent sword 3 in 1, but the Thunder Rangers form teh Thunder Megazord and begin battling.
Choobo shows up and casts some spell. It causes all 5 rangers to be warpped out of their Megazords to deserted beaches. Luthor promotes Choobo because of teh brillance of his plan.
Cam and Sensei try to track the Rangers, but they get no readings. Meanwhile both Megazords are left deserted on the battle field. Whether Cam can recall both Megazords or not is not revealed.
Shane wakes up. He is all alone on a deserted beach. He begins looking around, and the episode ends with him yelling "Where am I?"

The battle between the Thunder Rangers and the Wind Rangers resumes. The episode begins with a weather reporter talking about how cold it is.
This cold reaction is being caused by one island. This island is sinking into the sea, and ironically it is the island that all 5 rangers are on.
As Dustin and Tori awaken side by side, they wonder where Shane is. He shows up, and tells them they are on a deserted island. Just then, the Rangers see a couple of streaks in the distance. The streaks are caused by the Thunder Rangers.
Blake and Hunter lead the Wind Rangers into the forest, where a battle begins. At first, all 5 rangers fight unmorphed. Seeing that they are not strong enough, Blake and Hunter decide to morph. Their weapons are slightly stronger than the Wind Rangers, but the Wind Rangers form the Storm Striker and blast Blake. They also would have blasted Hunter, but he has fallen to the ground. He is slowly remembering that Dustin is his friend.
Up on his ship, Luthor sees the 2 Thunder Rangers regaining their memories. He calls out Choobow, and Choobow decides on a new plan of action. Then Luthor begins to complain about the ship being to cold. He makes Zurgane become a repair man, and sends him to fix the ships heater.
Choobow appears on the deserted island. He is accompanied by a group of Kelzacks and the toxic slug monster. This time he distracts the Thunder Rangers while the slug monster and the Kelzacks fight the Wind Rangers. Choobow convinces Hunter that Blake has betrayed him. He does this by planting false memories in his head, and then he zaps Hunter with the red anger beam.
Hunter and Blake fight each other, but Blake doesn't fight to the best of his abilities, because he doesn't want to hurt Hunter. To make a long story short, the Wind Rangers defeat all the Kelzacks and save Blake, but the toxic slug monster reveals a new power, he has the ability to tap into Earth's core and shoot up toxic sludge. Anyone who is hit with this toxic sludge turns into a lean, mean fighting machine and will attack anyone. Before the rangers can rescue him, Hunter gets shot by the toxic spray. The spray makes it impossible to regain his full memories at this time.
Back at Ninja Ops, Cam realizes the cold is being caused by an island that is sinking, but he can't detect the Rangers on this island. He and Sensei wonder how they can restore the Earth to the way it was supposed to be.
Back on the ship, Luthor begins complaining about it being to hot. Zurgane has repaired the heater unit, but he has turned the ship into a broil unit of sorts. Lothor makes Zurgane extinguish most of the heat, and then he reveals that he is glad he is about to lose Choobow. Luthor considers Choobow to be a big whiner.
The episode ends with Luthor asking for an update on the battle. It is revealed that Blake has now joined the Wind Rangers, and it is revelaed that Luthor's ship is finally just warm enough.
Meanwhile, Blake apologizes to the Wind rangers. He makes them know that they wre being controlled by some outside force. Then he reveals he won't leave the island until Hunter is saved. Hunter has protected Blake his entire life, and now Blake feels he must repay him. The Wind rangers agree to help, and the episode ends zooming in on Hunter who is yelling and asking why Blake has betrayed him.

Outside Super Chargers, the place where Dustin works, it is snowing and the place is busy with people trying to buy gloves.
On the island Blake, Tori, Dustin, and Shane are talking about the weather and Shane mentions how he wishes he knew where they were. Blake tells them that they are on Portico Island, an island that isn't on any map and only appears once every two hundred years, soon after sinking into the ocean. With that knoledge, Shane decides to head for higher ground.
At Ninja Ops, Cam is huddled in a blanket over his computer. He has found the rangers by using their body heat. He also knows that the island will soon sink.
Meanwhile Hunter is searching for his brother Blake with Choobo following.
Dustin begins to question what will happen when Hunter finds them. Blake assures them that Hunter is a good guy but if Hunter feels he is wronged in anyway, he will try and make it right. Tori questions how Hunter and Blake got the Thunder powers. Blake explains that when they were little, after their parents died, they were taken in and trained by Sensei Amano. On the day Lothor attacked their academy Amano gave them the Tunder Morphers, but before they could morph they were captured with the rest. Upon learning that the two had the morphers, Lothor told them the lie about who killed their parents.
After the story, the Rangers head off to help Hunter. When they find him they are attacked by Supertoxipod. The four morph and use the Ninja Shadow Battle to weaken him and then the wind rangers combine their weapon to create the Storm Striker. With which they destory Supertoxipod.
Hunter attacks Blake and Choobo keeps the wind Rangers from interfering. Blake and Hunter both get some good shots in on each other while Blake desperately tries to jog Hunter's memory. Eventually Blake gets through and Hunter demorphs.
The Wind Rangers have an easy time with Choobo. All three of them attack Choobo and then Shane uses his Ninja Sword to weaken him.
With Hunter revived and Choobo beaten the rangers are able to contact Cam at Ninja Ops. Dustin suggests using their zords to get off the island. Lothor infuriated by this makes Supertoxipod grow. The Rangers form their two megazords. Hunter and Blake use their power sphere to summon the spin blade while the wind rangers convert to lightning mode. The Thunder Rangers attack and weaken the monster. The Wind Rangers jump off the thunder megazord's arm and drop kicks the monster. After the drop kick, they bounce back toward the Thunder Megazord and are thrown head first into the enemy. With the enemy destroyed, the Rangers head home.
At Super Chargers Kelly is cleaning up when Dustin, Blake, and Hunter walk in. Dustin appologizes and the brothers tell her it was their fault. They also ask for a second chance and are hired as stock boys. At Ninja Ops Hunter and Blake want to turn in their morpher because they feel they will just put the wind rangers in jeopardy. Sensei and Tori give them a talk about responsibility and they agree to keep their morphers.
On the space station, Lothor tells Choobo that he doesn't want to see him on the base and walks off with Choobo vowing revenge on the thunder rangers.

At Ninja Ops Hunter and Blake are carrying in boxes, they thank Dustin and tell him that they are still deciding on whether or not to keep the morphers and thunder megazord. They leave after Dustin confirms that they will meet later.
On Lothor's space base Marah is crying because her pet blowfish, George, has just died. Kapri tells her that she loves everything, including Choobo.
Elsewhere on the base Choobo has opened a chest to the "Scroll of Empowerment." Zurgane arrives and tells him to put it back but Choobo teleports down to Earth.
Shane is skateboarding at Ninja Ops while Cam is studying a display of the thunder zords. They are all wondering if they will have to find new rangers when Cam discovers something on the thunder megazord. He says that it is something that doesn't do anything but is essential to the zords.
Blake and Hunter arrive at the beach on their dirtbikes. Out of nowhere Choobo materializes and, after they morph, two giant hands appear out of the pack he wears on his back, capturing them in his pack. Inside, Choobo attacks the rangers and explains that their powers don't work there and they will be there for a long time.
On the beach Dustin finds the abandoned bikes and heads to Ninja Ops where he and the other rangers morph after Cam locates Choobo.
The rangers confront Choobo and ask about their friends. Choobo has a bunch of Kelzaks attack the rangers. They use their ninja swords to cut down most of them, but Choobo calls more. Soon Shane and Dustin are pinned by the Kelzaks so Tori uses her weapon to make them leave. As they are about to use the Storm Striker on Choobo, he attacks them.
Cam tells the rangers that to free the thunder rangers, they must cut the tubes conected to Choobo's pack. The rangers do and free the thunder rangers. All the rangers then attack Choobo individually and move to finish him off with the Storm Striker and the Thunder Blaster. Before they can fire, Choobo shoots something at the wind rangers to pull them in and aim them at the thunder rangers.
Hunter at first wants to take a shot but realizes that he can't. Shane breaks control and the rangers fire on Choobo. Choobo not beaten yet, uses the "Scroll of Empowerment" to make himself grow. The rangers form the Storm megazord and the Thunder megazord, but they can't even land a hit on Choobo.
At Ninja Ops Cam finally figures out what the thing on the thunder zords is for and sends a power orb to Shane and Hunter and explains that by using it, the two megazords will combine. When they use it, Minizord appears and instructs them on combining. Choobo strikes at the Thunderstorm megazord with his staff but it breaks. Minizord tells the rangers to use the Lion Blaster to finish him. They do and before he explodes, Choobo calls for his mommy.
On the space base, Marah has recieved a new pet, a shrunken down Choobo. At Storm Chargers, Dustin, Hunter, and Blake are talking when they notice Roger Hannah has entered. Dustin knows that he is looking for Blake and Hunter and sends them to talk to him. At Ninja Ops it is revealed that they turned down his offer and will continue to help the wind rangers as the thunder rangers.

On the beach Shane and Hunter are sparring and both of them are getting in hits. After an aggressive display by Shane, Sensei knocks them both back and tells them that it's good to be competitive but not violent. He then has them do pushups which they both try to finish before the other.
At Storm Chargers the others are setting up advertisements for the upcoming "Total Trek", an event that contains skateboarding and motorcross biking. Shane and Hunter arrive and Hunter signs up. Kelly inquires if they will be a team but both refuse to work together.
Marah and Kapri are training under Bopp-A-Roo on the space base. Lothor gets bored and Marah suggests that he send down Bopp-A-Roo to defeat the rangers.
Back on the surface Shane and Hunter are preparing for the Trek. Shane is getting pointers on biking from Dustin while Hunter is getting pointers on skateboarding from Blake. Both of them fail to do their training well.
Shane and Hunter are jogging together when they run into Bopp-A-Roo. Hunter calls to morph but before he can morph Shane stops him and tells him angrily that he calls the morph. He then calls the morph and they both attack the creature. Shane blasts Bopp-A-Roo, but it has no effect. The creature then shoots lightning at Shane but Hunter blocks it with his thunder staff and shoots lightning back at the creature. After Bopp retreats the two unmorph and Shane starts arguing with Hunter, saying that he was capable of handling the monster.
On the space base, Lothor is dissappointed with how Bopp did, but is impressed that he is still alive. After a suggestion from Marah and Kapri, Lothor gives Bopp some more powerful gloves and sends him down again with Zurgane, Marah, and Kapri.
Shane and Hunter are still jogging and trying to last longer than the other. Shane eventually stops and compliments Hunter on the run. They continue and upon hearing Bopp, they morph and contact the others at Ninja Ops. They morph and join the two. They go to use the Storm Striker and the Thunder Blaster, but it is reflected by a forcefield from Marah and Kapri.
An all out battle ensues with the rangers getting their butts handed to them. Shane asks Cam for help and upon hearing the explanation Hunter gives his energy to Shane to use with his ninja sword. Using the sword, Shane is able to reflect Bopp's blast back at him and weaken him. They again try to use the Striker and Blaster but before they can Kapri puts up a shield and seeing they can't penetrate it they combine their weapons into one, the Thunderstorm Blaster. With it they are able to destroy Bopp and the others retreat.
On the space base, Kapri makes Bopp grow and the rangers call on their megazords. The Thunder megazord and Storm megazord are no match for Bopp so they call on Mini Zord and combine into the Thunderstorm megazord and use the Lion Laser(although called Lion Blaster in the last episode) to defeat Bopp.
Later on the base Lothor is relaxing in his chair when Marah and Kapri enter to share their new interest, clogging. At the "Total Trek" Shane nails the skateboarding area and Hunter tears up the biking track. The two make it to the rock climbing at the end and both touch the finish line at the same time. Back at Storm Chargers Kelly reveals that Hunter and Shane decided to work as a team and that they won. With that said the two slap hands which soon turns into a standing arm wrestling contest.

At Ninja Ops Tori and Blake are sparring while Shane and Dustin are hooking up cable so Sensei can watch his science fiction marathon. After it is hooked up Tori knocks Blake down and he rips out the cable. With nothing left to do they leave with Shane reminding Tori of his skateboarding tomorrow.
Hunter has just arrived at Storm Chargers with two tickets to an old kung fu movie for him and Blake. Tori inquires about the tickets and Blake asks her if she would like to come. She accepts and is soon reminded by Kelly of her obligation to Shane at that time. It is revealed that a disguised Kapri and Marah have been listening the whole time.
On the space base they tell Lothor about Tori. He finds the news interesting and sends down a pig monster named Trayf.
Tori, Dustin, and Shane are waiting for Shane's turn to skateboard and when the time finally comes Tori uses her ninja powers to get to the theatre in time to meet Blake and Hunter. After they get popcorn, Tori heads back to the others while Blake and Hunter get their seats. She makes it back at the end of Shane's run, says he looks thirsty and rushes back to the theatre.
At the theatre Blake and Hunter are watching the movie when they are sucked into their almost empty popcorn. Tori arrives shortly after and is attacked by Trayf and Kelzaks after finding them. She battles valiantly until Trayf gets the popcorn and then retreats.
Tori returns to Ninja Ops and explains what happened to the thunder rangers and how she used her ninja powers in public. Cam finds where Trayf is and the rangers morph.
They approach Trayf, but he dissappears to another dimension with the rangers following. Meanwhile, Blake and Hunter finds some popcorn kernals in the bag and use their ranger powers to heat up the bag. Outside the rangers are getting beaten until Shane rides one of Trayf's projectiles back and hits him. They then use the Storm Striker to defeat him.
With the pig gone the rangers return to their dimension as Blake and Hunter finally get the kernals to pop, freeing them. Just then Marah and Kapri arrive with Kelzaks as Trayf grows. The wind rangers summon their zords while Blake and Hunter take on the Kelzaks.
Shane uses his zord to hit Trayf with fire, Tori uses her zord's water power, and Dustin creates a a gust of wind with his lion. They then form the megazord and Cam suggests they combine the Ram Hammer with the Turtle Mace. With them combined Trayf stands no chance and is defeated.
Meanwhile, Hunter and Blake use the artificial butter flavoring covering them to their advantage. Hunter puts some on the ground to make the Kelzaks loose their footing while Blake covers their face with it, disorienting them. With the Kelzaks defeated, Marah and Kapri retreat.
On the space base, Lothor, Zurgane, and Kapri are eating ribs and pork.(not sure if it's from General Trayf) Marah claims that she is now a vegetarian.
At Ninja Ops Tori is mopping the floor when Blake asks her if she wants to go see another kung fu movie. Tori declines because she has to do mopping as punsihment for using her ninja powers in public. Blake is left with wondering who to take.
At the theatre Blake is watching the movie when Sensei's voice is heard. Sensei s shown sitting next to Blake, watching the movie with a tiny bucket of popcorn.

Hunter is preparing to try and break a stone brick with his hand while the other watch on. When he hit the brick he grabs his hand in pain while Shane laughs. Hunter asks him to do any better. Next Shane and Tori use their fists to try while Blake uses his head. All are unsuccessfull.
On the space base Marah and Kapri are arguing when Lothor tells them that they are beautiful and that he has enjoyed their company. The girls are touched until they hear Lothor laughing behind them. He introduces them to Madtropolis, a monster that can imitate other beings. When questioned Madtropolis explains that he has a way of stealing the rangers' powers.
Back at Ninja Ops most of the rangers are rubbing their hands, except Blake who used his head. While Sensei and the others are talking Cam breaks the stone with his fist, causing the others to question what he used to break it. Disgusted, Cam storms out of Ninja Ops with Tori soon following.
Outside Tori and Cam talk about what was wrong and how he wishes he was a ranger. Tori asks why he isn't and the scene is shifted to Sensei and the others. Sensei explains to them the promise he made to Cam's mother. Afterwards the rangers try and persuade him to change his mind.
Outside Tori and Cam are making their way back when they are confronted by Madtropolis, Marah, Kapri, and Kelzaks. The other rangers soon join in and upon the urgeing of Madtropolis, the rangers morph. Madtropolis attacks the rangers while the Kelzaks go after Cam.
Madtropolis wails on the rangers no matter what they do. Meanwhile Cam beats a couple of Kelzaks but eventually is over matched and pinned to the ground. With Cam down and the rangers weakened, Madtropolis uses a sphere to capture the rangers powers.
Back at Ninja Ops Cam has just finished his scan of the rangers and tells them that their powers are drained. Suddenly on ther screen Madtropolis comes on with the sphere. Shane decides to go after him and get their powers back. Cam can't talk him out of it so he gives the rangers a power boost, but it will only last a short time.
Madtropolis has just put down the sphere when a red flash grabs the sphere and leaves. Madtropolis follows to find the red ranger. The two battle and Shane is eventually put in a dark room. Madtropolis appears out of nowhere and Shane attacks him with his ninja sword. When he does, Hunter and Blake appear. Shane and the other rangers are all tricked into attacking each other when Shane hears Sensei's voice telling him that his heart will instruct him on which on to attack. He attacks the right one freeing them.
The extra power begins to fade so Shane tries to open the sphere with his Ninja sword, but nothing happens. Cam tells them about a teleportation system he's been working on and tries it on the sphere but nothing happens. The rangers use the Thunder Storm Cannon to defeat Madtropolis, but Lothor makes him grow.
At Ninja Ops Cam enters some commands into the computer to make the sphere materialize behind him, then sends the zords. The rangers form their megazords and get beaten by Madtropolis. Shane asks for help, but with their lack of power all he can send is a scarf. The rangers use it to block Madtropolis's attack and to attack him, but soon are overpowered and thrown from their zords.
Cam is desperately trying to think of a way to help the rangers when Sensei speaks of a great power source that is lost. Cam thinks of using the scroll of time but is blocked by Sensei. After pleading with him Cam is allowed to use the scroll.
On the battlefield the powerless rangers are about to be squashed by a giant Madtropolis when time freezes. On the space base Lothor knows what happened but is curious as to what the Sensei is up to.
Sensei informs Cam that he must return before the writing dissappears or he will be lost in the past. Cam promises to return and enters the portal. Cam appears just outside Ninja Ops and wonders if he made back to the past. Just then he turns around to see a ninja on a horse....

Cam continues to stare as the ninja flips off his horse and ask for the password. When Cam says the one from his time the ninja attacks him. They fight until Cam uses one of the Wind Academy's techniques. The Sensei of that time tells Kanoi, the ninja, to stop and allows Cam to join as a new student. Upon hearing the name, Kanoi, he realizes that he has met his father.
Back in the present Sensei Guinea Pig transports the rangers to Ninja Ops to explain everything.
With everything on the Earth frozen Lothor decides to take advantage of the situation and has Marah, Kapri, and Zurgane hold a talent competition to find five aliens to send down.
In the past, the Sensei has Kanoi demonstrate sword techniques for all the new students. Cam is watching intently when Kiya starts talking to him. Cam notices that Kiya and Kanoi look exactly alike. Kiya explains they are twin brothers. Cam wonders why his father never told him that.
With the demonstration over Sensei calls for a volunteer. He chooses a new student with his face hidden. Cam and Kiya both recognize that the new student is using samurai techniques to beat Kanoi.
After the battle, Sensei introduces Miko, Cam's mother, to Kanoi. Kanoi insists she not be allowed there but the Sensei tells him that she will be the first female to join.
Later, Miko is training in the woods when she is interrupted by Kiya, who inquires about the green amulet she wears around her neck. When she refuses to let him see it his eyes turn pitch black, causing her to fall into a trance. Before he can learn of the amulet, Cam arrives and asks Miko about her skills.
In the present the talent search is nearly completed. All Marah and Kapri need is a fifth. They find it in a bug creature who can turn people into giant bugs.
Cam continues to interrogate Miko while walking her to her tent. After she enters Cam notices that the scroll of time glows stronger when near the amulet.
Inside the tent Miko take off her amulet and places it on the table. While her back is turned someone in a new student garb grabs the amulet and almost walks out but knocks over a cup. Miko turns around and assumes it is Cam and chases after him into the woods. When she finds Cam she attacks and demands the amulet back before Kanoi and other arrive.
Cam is put on trial at the academy and is almost banished until Kanoi arrives with Kiya in new student garb. Kanoi explains that Kiya was in the woods using dark ninja powers to learn the secrets of the amulet. Kiya breaks free and uses the dark ninja powers to push everyone back. Eventually Cam gets a hold of the amulet and Kiya sets his sights on him.
Kiya creates a forcefield around the two so they can fight with out any interruptions. Cam does well for awhile but is eventually overpowered by Kiya. When Kiya goes to finish him the amulet reacts, throwing him into the forcefield and destroying it. Miko approaches Cam and tells him that the amulet is his.
With Kiya weakened Sensei passes judgment on him. He takes his name and ninja ranking and will be sent into space. Kiya is fine with that and says that from now on his name will be Lothor. Cam, knowing what will happen, demands that Kiya be destroyed but Sensei refuses.
His mission accomplished, Cam returns to the future. Meanwhile the rangers at Ninja Ops begin to return to where they were when time stopped.
Madtropolis goes to attack the rangers but is interrupted by the sound of a helicopter. In the distance a green helicopter is approaching with the Green Samurai Ranger in the cockpit. He uses the lasers on Madtropolis, dodges Madtropolis's fire, and uses the propellers to cut the earth around him. He then transforms the 'copter into the Samurai Star Megazord and uses the Bee Spinner to defeat the monster.
On the space base Lothor wonders who the Green Samurai Ranger is. While back on Earth he reveals himself to the rangers as none other than Cam...

On the beach Tori, Dustin, Cam, and Shane are sparring. Cam runs up a cliff and falls flat on his back. When the rangers make sure he's ok Sensei contacts Cam and tells him that he broke the computer. Cam rushes off to Ninja Ops as the rangers worry about him putting to much stress on himself with being a ranger and running Ninja Ops.
At Ninja Ops Cam locates the problem as Sensei tells him to try some recreational activities like the others. But Cam explains that he is to busy as he nods off.
On the Space Base Lothor is planning his next attack when Marah and Kapri introduce him to Fragra, a monster that can turn anyone into a perfume.
Later the Rangers return to Ninja Ops to inquire about Cam. Cam suddenly appears but totally different. He is wearing baggy clothes, a hat, and is talking in slang. The Rangers put up to relieving stress and they leave while we see the real Cam tied up in another room.
The first thing they do is go to the skate park and Cam shows his skills. After that Cam says he wants to try surfing and again shows that he has some moves. Cam next wants to try Motorcross. Meanwhile, Fragra appears on Earth and turns two women into perfume.
Cam has just finished beating Dustin, Hunter and Blake at motorcross when Shane gets the call from Sensei about Fragra. When Shane explains to the others Cam doesn't care and wants to practice some more. Cam finally agrees to go, but while the rangers fight Cam is to busy admiring a car. With the rangers busy fighting the Kelzaks Tori and Dustin are captured and truned into perfume. The other angry at Cam leave him to do what ever he wants while the real Cam finally gets free.
Sensei tells him that Tori and Dustin are being held in a warehouse and Cam departs. Shane and the others arrive at the warehouse and find the real Cam there as well. They begin to tell him off until the other Cam shows up. Cam explains that the other is a virtual program and switches it off after the virtual Cam apologizes for tieing Cam up.
Fragra appears and attacks the rangers, making them morph. While the others keep her busy Shane looks for Tori and Dustin. Shane finds the room where Fragra keeps her perfumes but can't figure out which one are his friends. Meanwhile at the battle the rangers dodge one of Fragra's blasts, but it hits the perfume room instead. Shane emerges and frees the others.
All of the rangers now attack Fragra, but no matter what they get pushed back. Cam get knocked down and as he watches his friends battle he becomes enraged and switches to Super Samurai Mode. He then proceeds to beat Fragra as the others watch in awe until Cam uses his Samurai Saber to defeat her.
Lothor sends down the Scroll of Empowerment to make her grow so Cam summons his Samurai Star Megazord fights with Fragra. The Wind Rangers soon join in the fight with their megazord in Lightning mode. The wind rangers use the ram attack to weaken her so Cam can finish her off with the Bee Stinger.
The other Rangers return to Ninja Ops to find Virtual Cam back. Cam tells them that he is now programmed not to leave Ninja Ops and will take care of some of the duties there. Tori questions why Cam made Virtual Cam so good at sports. Cam reveals that he never had much time to learn so he is taken to Motorcross. As he goes for another lap we see he is riding a kiddie bike.

On the space base Marah and Kapri are watching tv when Lothor enters and complains and starts telling a story starting with "In my day..." Marah and Kapri then suggest that he change his image by using the tv with Mr. Ratwell's help.
Meanwhile everyone but Tori enter Storm Chargers. Tori is already there preparing for the "Real Sport Pro Cook-Off." Cam confesses that he is also going to participating and they are both ridiculed by the others until some of the women enter.
Back at the base Ratwell explains what he will be doing and tells him about his love tablets. Lothor refuses to use them and knocks them away causing them to spill on the ground at Marah and Kapri's feet.
Kelly starts showing the group how to make Storm Charger smoothies. While everyone watches Marah and Kapri appear with a love tablet and converse about who they will put under the spell. When they can' agree they fight and the tablet lands in Blake's drink. After he comments on the taste Cam tries it and they both fall in love with Tori.(Blake more so) The two then start a food fight.
Later, the two confront Tori with gifts. Blake gives her a socket wrench set and Cam offers her acne face wash. Tori, not impressed with the gifts walk away. Blake and Cam argue until Blake suggests a thunder-samurai duel on the beach later. Cam agrees.
After the gifts Tori continues on until she sees Kelzaks at the tv studio and further investigates. Zurgane spots her and after battling Kelzaks she is captured and tied to a fake cactus.
At Storm Chargers the group turns on the tv to find Lothor on every station. While Kelly and the others discuss what's going on the rangers head off to find the tv studio. Meanwhile, Lothor's program begins. When no one responds to it Ratwell turns a dial on a machine that makes the viewers love Lothor. Elsewhere the rangers question how to find the tv studio until the screaming fans run by and the rangers follow them.
On the beach Cam and Blake confront each other and start to battle. At the studio Zurgane sends Ratwell to tend to the two rangers, but when he gets there Blake and Cam just ignore him and continue to battle. With no one guarding her, Tori gets free and heads to the beach.
Blake and Cam have now turned their attention to Ratwell but are arguing who will take care of him. They both morph and start fighting each other again. When Tori arrives she tries to stop them but they won't listen. Ratwell takes the opportunity to blast Tori, who quickly morphs but is still badly hurt. Cam and Blake check on Tori when all three of them are blasted by the Rat. Blake vows to protect Tori and stands in front of her, taking many blasts but refuses to go down. Eventually Blake makes it to Ratwell and, combining his antler weapon with his thunder staff, defeats Ratwell.
With Ratwell gone the spell is removed from Cam and Blake. On the base Lothor makes Ratwell grow. With Tori unable to battle, Cam and the thunder rangers call on their zords. They switch to megazord mode and when Cam throws his propeller at Ratwell, Ratwell dodges and fires at Cam. Blake blocks the blast and they combine their megazords to create the Samurai Thunder Megazord and then uses the lasers to finish Ratwell.
At Ninja Ops Cam, Blake and Tori are discussing what happened. When Tori questions Blake about what he said he stumbles until Shane and Hunter arrive with fried chicken, which they claim they made themselves. Seconds later Dustin arrives questioning who got the take-out.

Hunter is busy at Storm Chargers when Blake arrives and asks him if he wants to do something. Hunter refuses and tells Blake that he is volunteering to spend time with a little boy named Charlie. Shane soon arives and shows them and Tori and Dustin a pro sport magazine that is having a competition. It requires sending in a video so everyone but Hunter races to Ninja Ops to ask Cam to use his camera.
On the Space Base Marah and Kapri are again arguing when Lothor asks them where his P.A.M. is. The explain that they traded it for an eyelash curler. Lothor threatens them to get it back.
The rangers arrive at Ninja Ops still arguing. When they explain to Cam, he agrees, but he will do the filming since he saw what happened to Dustin's camera.
Elsewhere, Hunter is walking Charlie home and asking questions. When they get to the house Charlie tells Hunter that he doesn't need anyone replacing his father. Secretly, Marah and Kapri watch from the bushes. When Hunter leaves, the girls disguise themselves as girl guards and try to trade Charlie their salsa for what he thinks is a video game, but really P.A.M. He refuses and squirts the salsa into Kapri's face.
On a half pipe Shane is skate boarding while Cam films it. After he finishes Shane insists that he should redo his when Cyber Cam calls and tells them about Kelzaks in the city.
When Tori, Blake, Dustin, and Shane arrive there are only two Kelzaks. The rangers think it will be an easy battle as, back at Charlie's house, Charlie presses some buttons making alot more Kelzaks appear, making the rangers morph. Shane and Blake hold their own while Tori and Dustin are overwhelmed. Charlie gets fed up with the device and throws it making the Kelzaks disappear.
On the base, the girls give Lothor a new P.A.M. device shaped like a dog's head. When Lothor presses a button it creates a puppy. The girls beg to keep it until Lothor reminds them about their other pet, Choobo, who is getting chased by the puppy.
Back at Storm Chargers, Hunter confesses to Blake that he might stop volunteering to be with Charlie. Blake offers a word of advice and gets Hunter willing to give it another try. Meanwhile Charlie places P.A.M. next to his radio and creates DJ Drummond.
At Ninja Ops Tori is looking at her footage with Cam when DJ shows up. Cam contacts the others while she heads off. The thunder rangers are the first to battle DJ and they are pushed back, as are the wind rangers who soon join them. Back in Charlie's room, his mother enters and pushes a button that makes DJ disappear. Afterwards, Charlie presses a button that surrounds him with Kelzaks.
Hunter arrives at the house and hears Charlie calling for him. Hunter rushed in and defeats the Kelzaks which gets Charlie to like him.
Dustin and Blake are talking about their vids with who they think is Cam. Shortly after the real Cam enters. Marah and Kapri sneak into Charlie's room and grab P.A.M. When Charlie enters, the girls try to scare him off but when he mimics a martial arts stance the girls run off. Back at Ops the rangers are depressed about their vids and Cam suggests editing them.
When DJ shows up again Cam battles him but is overwhelmed until the thunder rangers arrive. They use their weapons to beat DJ back until he summons Kelzaks. The wind rangers defeat the Kelzaks using their tsunami cycles and the thunder rangers use their thunder blaster to defeat DJ Drummond. On the base Lothor accidentally makes Choobo grow back to normal size before making DJ grow. The wind and thunder rangers summon their megazords , but are beaten until Cam sends Hunter a power sphere. The weapon has a purple base and a long silver blade. Hunter uses it to throws DJ into the air where he explodes.
At Storm Chargers Hunter is working on a bike when Charlie arrives and they talk about fathers. In another part of the store, the other rangers are watching their winning video on tv. Afterwards the rangers argue over which part was the best. On the base Marah and Kapri are cleaning up the puppy's waste when Choobo goes after the puppy and slips in the urine.

Dustin, Hunter, and Blake have just finished motorbiking, with Dustin coming in behind them. Dustin, disappointed with it sulks until a guy approaches him and offers to add something to the bike to make it run better. Dustin accepts and gives his bike to him. Next day Dustin goes to the address he was given to find nothing there.
On the base Lothor is questioning why they can't defeat the power rangers. Marah suggests she can and presses a button on the P.A.M. causing a bolt of purple energy to blast her. She then introduces her friend Beevil. Lothor is sceptical at first until she turns his Kelzaks into Kelzak Furies.(red instead of black.) With someone more powerful, Lothor kicks Marah out.
Dustin questions around the track and sees that a woman is about to be run down by the bikers. He knocks her out of the way and introduces himself. She reveals herself as Marah and persuades Dustin that she wants to be good to get back at her uncle.
Meanwhile, Blake and Hunter confront Beevil and are no match for her. Marah is just telling Dustin that she knows how to beat Beevil when he is contacted by Hunter. Dustin arrives at the battle with the others but before they can do anything Beevil retreats.
Later Dustin meets Marah and she gives him a device that can neutralize Beevil's powers, but it must be charged with the same amount of energy. Dustin takes the device to Ninja Ops where he tries to charge but is caught by Cam and Sensei Guinea Pig.Dustin explains to the others about Marah and the others are sceptical. Beevil attacks again and the others leave while Dustin charges the device.
The rangers confront Beevil and she unleashes the Furies on them and is easily beaten. Just as Beevil is about to join a flash of lightning hits the Furies and Beevil. Out of the smoke, Marah appears and attacks Beevil. The two fight with Beevil eventually getting the advantage. As Beevil is getting ready to finish Marah Dustin arrives and throws the device to Marah, who uses it to stop Beevil.
As Dustin and the others rejoice, Marah pulls the device off Beevil and explains that it was all part of their plan and that Beevil is now more powerful. Once again the Furies are unleashed on the rangers, who are again being beaten until Cam tells Cyber Cam to send the gold swords. With their new swords the rangers easily beat the Furies and Beevil. Dustin confronts Marah and she makes Beevil grow. Dustin, infuriated, calls on the Storm Megazord and to pilot it himself. He then uses the star sphere, a starfish attaches on to the knee and grows spikes, by driving the spikes into Beevil, destroying her.
On the space base, Lothor and the others congratulate Marah on hurting Dustin. Marah looks visibly upset by doing so and then blasts Kapri for saying so.
At the bike shop, Dustin is being comforted by the others, but Dustin vows to never trust anyone again. Kelly approaches and tells Dustin to turn around. He does and sees his bike and the guy explains that they screwed up the address renewing the Dustin's faith in trusting people.

Dustin enters Storm Chargers with his dad and introduces him to his friends. Afterwards, Blake and Hunter remember their dad and Cam also remembers his. At Ninja Ops Cam expresses his feeling to his father and learns of a way to return his father to normal.
In space Marah and Kapri tell Lothor that they're going back to school to learn how to be evil. They then show Lothor the monster they've chosen, Footzilla.
Cam hooks up his morpher to a device and turns it on. When he is unsure that it will work he as Shane pull some wires. After the smoke clears they discover that Shane and the Sensei have switched bodies.
Because Shane has obligations at the skate park, Sensei and Tori go there. Once there Sensei completely has no idea what he's doing but after a while he gets the hang of it. Dustin shows up and learns what happened right before they are attacked by Kelzaks. Sensei takes out most of them with relative ease as do the others. When attacked by Footzilla the rangers morph and make Footzilla retreat.
On the base Marah, Kapri, and Lothor are baffled by Shane's new moves. Lothor suggests giving Footzilla a new power.
At Ninja Ops Cam attempts to reverse the switch, but when Dustin interferes, he becomes the rodent and Sensei is now in Dustin's body. Before they can fix it Cam notices Footzilla on the monitor and the wind rangers confront him with Sensei again beating him back. The thunger rangers join in and soon Cam joins in. After everyone's gotten in a hit, Footzilla reveals that he has tagged them all and uses his power to lift them in the air.
Footzilla then makes Shane fall into the ground. After Sensei throws his hammer at the monster, Shane gets free and frees the others. They use the thunderstorm cannon to destroy Footzilla. Marah uses the P.A.M to make him grow and the rangers use the thunderstorm megazord to beat him.
On the base, Lothor punished the sisters by making them write on the board hundreds of times. At ninja ops everyone is returned to normal and Cam is just happy to have a father who is there for him.

At Storm Chargers Kelly is working when a businessman from Total Pro Sports enters and offers to buy her shop. She declines and sends him on his way. Later that night Kelly leaves Dustin to close the shop. Shortly after she leaves a group of men enter and start messing up the place in hopes that Kelly will change her mind about selling the place. Dustin sees them and morphs in the back. He confronts the guys and they run off but not before Kelly returns to find the yellow ranger in her store.
The next day at Ninja Ops the rangers and Sensei talk about what Dustin did. Blake and Hunter enter with the local paper to reveal that the yellow ranger is front page news and Cam discovers that the yellow ranger has recieved a ton of email. On the space base Marah and Kapri are going through the mail with Slob Goblin. Lothor walks by and Slob Goblin turns Choob into a stamp.
Later, Shane, Blake, and Hunter arrive at a really busy Storm Chargers to pick up Dustin. Kelly explains that everyone wants to shop there since the yellow ranger made an appearance. Shane and Dustin go to the skate park while Blake and Hunter head towards Ninja Ops. There they tell Sensei that they got a letter from their sick adoptive grandmother and that they would like to use their ninja powers to go see her. Sensei gives them permission to do so.
At the skate park Shane notices a photographer from a magazine there and decides to do a move he's never been able to land. Dustin gets her interested and then he notices Slob Goblin turning people into stamps. With Shane busy, Dustin morphs in a shed and battles with Slob Goblin and Kelzaks. The group watching Shane soon notices the battle and crowds around the battle. After defeating the Kelzaks Dustin is carried off on the people's shoulders.
Shane is mad at Dustin because he was finally able to do the move but no one saw it. Zurgane spots the thunder rangers in a remot location and Lothor sends the sisters to capture them. Kapri dresses up as the grandmother but is discovered after part of her disguise falls off, but it is too late as they are turned into stamps.
At Ninja Ops the rangers confront Dustin about his fighting alone when Cam discovers that Blake and Hunter are inside the monster. Dustin arrives first and is about to morph when Shane and Tori arrive and join in the morph. Dustin and Shane argue over who will battle and Shane uses a ninja air attack and Dustin uses an Earth attack. The two argue some more and Tori gets captured. The two decide to combine their ninja attacks and defeat the monster. The monster grows and the rangers use a power sphere stamp attack to free the people turned into stamps before defeating the monster.
At Ninja Ops the rangers celebrate when Cam shows that Choobo is on the monitor wandering around, lost.

(This synopsis is credited to Rangerboard)
Blake won't hold a conversation with Tori, and leaves quickly. She asks Hunter about him and he doesn't know what's been going on. She goes outside to see him talking with another woman.
On Lothor's ship, the generals watch a previous battle with the Rangers, and they argue on how bad the other is. Marah & Kapri have a plan, but Lothor has plans of his own, and puts them into a cage.
Everyone is training in Ninja Ops, and Cam is alerted to the presence of "Inflatron". The Rangers leave and Cam searches for Blake. The Rangers go off to fight, but Shane has an idea to neutralize the monster (or the balloons), but he gets whipped in the arm and claims "it burns".
Then Blake shows up. They want to form the Thunderstorm Cannon, but Blake has his own plans. He pulls out a new stick: the Thunder Blade, and beats up Inflatron. Back at Ninja Ops, Cam analyzes Inflatron and shows the gas in his balloons is benign to nature, apparently meaning that popping them won't do jack squat. Blake reveals that he got the Thunder Blade from his Sensei before the attack on the Thunder Academy. He leaves for training, and Tori follows him.
After going through a tunnel, she sees him practicing with another ninja. Blake tells Tori that she is LeAnn, and they have practiced Thunder Blade fighting together. Shortly afterward, Kelzaks arrive, and they all go off to fight them. The other generals however, appear in some other place, and Dustin, Shane, and Hunter go off to fight them. Hunter wins by using the Ninja Glider Cycle and the generals retreat. Cam tells Blake that Inflatron has shown up at the beach, and he morphs, for the first time solo, and starts to fight Inflatron, and gets his butt kicked. He remembers how his Sensei told him to focus on using the Thunder Blade, also showing that LeAnn is the Sensei's daughter. He ends up winning by throwing one end of the Thunder Blade at Inflatron like a javelin. Lothor makes him grow, and the Rangers destroy Inflatron once and for all with the Thunderstorm Megazord riding the Mighty Mammothzord.
After the commercial, Blake and LeAnn talk about how the Thunder Academy is gone now and that there are heroes trying to get it back. Tori goes up to Blake and apologizes for following Blake. They end up having fun by fighting each other

The introduction for the Triptoids is similar to that of the Craterites from PRiS's "The Craterite Invasion", with a malfunctioning computer game.
First and only appearance of Thundersaurus Megazord Sword and Shield mode. The Dino Tail contains a seismic sensor and can be launched like a missile. The Tricerazord's head becomes a shield.

NOTE: Thundersaurus Megazord gains another new finishing move, a flaming spiral launched from the Tyrannozord's mouth, and the Tricera Fist punch.
Trent's real parents were lost in a cave-in at an archeological dig years ago, and he's been raised by Dr. Mercer, who was on that dig with them, since then (as a ward), hence the differences in last names.
Tommy utters his first "Aww, man!" (his trademark line) since "Forever Red."
The Brachio Staff's Wind, Earthquake, and Fire Strike attacks are first used.
Mesogog appears ONLY as Dr. Anton Mercer in this episode.
Tommy is the first Ranger to defeat a giant monster without using a Zord, since Eric did it in "Quantum Secrets" (Cole in "Forever Red" doesn't count, since he used a transforming bike from a god against an evil Zord)
Available in North America on the "Power Rangers DinoThunder: Legacy of Power" DVD and VHS.
First monster this season to grow without use of the Hydro-Regenerator.
Tommy's reaction to learning that Trent is adopted is a very subtle nod to the fact that in PRZ, it was revealed he himself was adopted.

The Evil White Ranger steals the DinoThunder gang's Stegazord, and combines it with his Dragozord, into his own Megazord, the Dino Stegazord. While Mesogog sends out a souped-up version of Angor to complicate matters, White Ranger faces Red Ranger one-on-one, leading to the unlocking of a new Dino Power source in Conner. White Ranger rejects both the other Rangers, and Mesogog's side, destroying Angor to prove this point.
Eventually, Tommy discovers Trent turning into the White Ranger. Having modified the DT team's Fossil Finder, he encases Black Ranger in amber before he can alert the others to the discovery of the evil Ranger's identity. Meanwhile, Cassidy & Devin are still recovering from their last scheme to discover White Ranger's ID, and literally stumble into getting Trent demorphing on videotape.

With Tommy currently incapcitated, and Hayley unable to free him just yet, the DinoThunder Rangers desire know just who the evil White Ranger is. Mesogog and his gang are of the same idea, scanning for the White Dino Gem's energies.
White Ranger faces Elsa & Zeltrax, taking them down with ease, and when facing the other Rangers, the demorphing of Yellow Ranger to Kira shakes his spellbound mind enough to spare her harm. Later, Trent confides in Kira his own secret identity, though concerned about his bipolar tendencies leads to his shunning her help.
Mesogog captures Trent, now aware of his status as White Ranger, though he refuses to assist him in reverting the world back to the age of dinosaurs.
Dino Stegazord is bested in battle by the Thundersaurus Megazord's newest auxiliary Zord. And Cassidy's boasts of having proof of White Ranger's ID are proven false again, when Devin's footage of the Ranger demorphing is recorded over by his sister giving birth.

A meteorite lands in the forest, gaining the attention of Cassidy & Devin (who were searching for the White Ranger again), Trent (who was on his way out of town), the three DinoThunder Rangers, and Mesogog's newest monster, a weak-willed creature called Rojobot.
Exposure to the "space rock" effects each of them: Trent's Gem-induced schizophrenia is brought under control, Cassidy becomes an acne-faced geek, Devin becomes a Travolta-Fonzie type Disco ladies man, Conner becomes a brainy nerd, Ethan becomes a competitive jock, Kira becomes a fashion and vanity obsessed carbon copy Cassidy, and Rojobot becomes considerably evil. This causes much friction among the Rangers, until Hayley explains the meteorite merely brought out the repressed sides of their personalities.
They manage to work together, destroy Rojobot (with the currently-good White Ranger's help), and shatter the meteorite. All personalities are restored to normal (with Devin & Cassidy nearly kissing each other before it's done).
A fragment of the "space rock" is used by Hayley to attempt to free Tommy from his fossilization in amber. It's a success, but the machine and fragment are toasted, and Tommy's now permanently morphed as the Black DT Ranger!

Continuing from where we left off last episode, the gang finds Tommy stuck morphed as the Black Ranger. He figures when he was amber-ized, the Dino Gem in his Morpher remoleculerized. No time can spared trying to fix it yet, White Ranger's back to being evil and is on the prowl with the Dino Stegazord. When the Thundersaurus Megazord with Parasaur arm confronts him, the White Drago Sword's spell-weaving capabilities ensnare the Megazord while placing Containment Fields around the Dimetro and Cephala Zords, taking them hostage in giant barrels inside a force field.
Later, the DinoThunder teens resume their normal lives, as per Tommy's advice. Conner runs into Trent, who is now entirely evil. A sudden surprise attack by Zeltrax and the new monster, Insectolite, lead to Trent getting zapped with a ray that switches him back to the side of good. He informs our heroes he wants to give them back their stolen Zords, and a gift to show his gratitude. The four DT Rangers meet with him at the scheduled time, where Tommy is given a Dino All- Terrain -Vehicle by Trent. Turns out, the ray was a ruse, and Trent's still bad after all! The ATV takes off on a wild ride with Black Ranger stuck on it, while White Ranger, with his own Dino ATV, follows. An explosive duel occurs, with Tommy the victor. Trent made a deal with Mesogog, that he provide the ATVs in exchange for his destroying the Rangers. White Ranger departs without fulfilling his end of the bargain.
Later, the Rangers capture Insectolite, and try to use his ray to free the two Auxiliary Zords, but they're too late, and the pair become fully under the control of the White Ranger. Dino Stegazord with Cephala & Dimetro arms, fights the Thundersaurus Megazord, but now-giant Insectolite interrupts their match in a play for payback for Trent's double-crossing. White Ranger helps destroy the monster, and departs, but Hayley is able to reprogram the Black ATV for the use of good. Mesogog scolds Zeltrax & Elsa, and as they leave his lab, his body begins to glow uncontrollably. He reverts to the Dr. Jeckyl to his Mr. Hyde, Anton Mercer! Unbeknownst to him, Trent has witnessed the entire metamorphosis...

Trent is called to see Principal Randall, who quizzes him on his current behavior and state of mind, trying to gauge his status without revealing her identity as Elsa. The results are not what she had hoped.
With Dr. Oliver "on sick leave" (due to his demorphing troubles), Dr. Anton Mercer, Trent's adoptive father and alter ego of Mesogog, is brought in by Randall as the substitute science teacher. He immediately stages a field trip to the Reefside Museum he owns (as seen in "Day of the Dino"). There Kira spots a Tyrannodrone, which leads her to storage room where she is forced to submit to the will of a hypnotic dinosaur skull. The creature gives her a sour attitude towards her friends, and ultimately leads her to Tommy's lab to steal a bone she had recently noticed while helping him take inventory. The bone is revealed to be the final component of Fossilador, a hypnotic dinosaur monster created by Tommy and Mercer years ago.
The missing bone fully reanimates Fossilador, and Kira is freed from her brainwashing. Fossilador attacks the city, Black Ranger faces Zeltrax and the Triptoids, and the Rangers destroy Fossilador by destroying the very bone which reanimated him. Back on the island fortress, Mercer desperately searches for a cure for his saurian affliction, but before he can test a new serum on himself, he transforms back to a scolding Mesogog before our eyes.

NOTE: Zeltrax is revealed to have once been Terence "Smitty" Smith, a former archeological colleague of Tommy and Anton Mercer. He lost out at a job at Mercer Industries to Tommy, and took another one elsewhere, which lead to a lab accident that nearly killed him. Mesogog's expertise in cybernetics lead to his revival in cyborg form, and now he blames Tommy for the accident in the first place.
Among the items shown in Tommy's clutter of files, was a "morphed but helmetless" shot of the six original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (circa early season 2), Tommy with a red bandanna on his head (likely circa Zeo), the White Stranger (Tommy's ancestor from "Wild West Rangers"), the Goggle V belt logo (1982's Sentai), the Changeman belt logo (1985's Sentai), Flashman's sigil (1986's Sentai), the Maskman belt logo (1987's Sentai), Liveman's team logo (1988's Sentai), Fiveman's weapon symbol (1990's Sentai), the Dairanger patch (from the Sentai series used for MMPR Season 2), the PRLG belt logo, and the Lightspeed sigil (from PRLR).

NOTE: Debuted in a special timeslot, 10:30 am Eastern, as the final episode of the "Made-In-Japan-athon", with a repeat in the usual Saturday slot on June 26.
Tommy (Jason David Frank), Trent (Jeffrey Parazzo), Elsa/Principal Randall (Miriama Smith), Cassidy (Katrina Devine), Devin (Tom Hern), and Mesogog/Dr Anton Mercer (Latham Gaines) do not appear, nor are even heard, in this episode.
The episode of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger that is prominently viewed in this episode is #10, "Abare Riigaa Kaneshibari (The Abare Leaguer Is Paralyzed)"
There's intentional irony in that the Power Rangers watch a Japanese show based upon their "real" exploits, whereas in reality, it's a Japanese program that Power Rangers is adapted from.
Another irony, the character of Whacker Wilson originally spoke English in the original Japanese program, but is dubbed over here to say entirely different things.
Ka-Ching is a mutation made from crossing the DNA of a bear, a mushroom, and an ATM machine.
First PR episode to use an ampersand in its title.
The image on the TV before Conner turns it off for the very first time (long before the Abaranger episode begins), is a shot of the planet Onyx and its green moon from PRLG.
In a pair of voice cameos, Jorgito Vargas (Blake from PRNS) provides the voice of the Blue Ranger, and Morgan Fairhead (Kylee Styles from "Diva in Distress") voices the Yellow Ranger.
Triptoids are the Japanese DT Rangers' enemy's footsoldiers (which is odd if you consider the fact they technically belong to a videogame company, and have barely been used in battle thus far by Mesogog's forces).
Fox Kids UK listed the title of this episode in their press release and onscreen guide title info as "Ka-Ching! The Money Monster."

Kira gets an internship on Channel 3's hit children's cartoon calvacade, "The Funky Fisherman Show." She discovers not only the harsh realities of show business behind the joyous program's facade, but that by sticking with something through the rough spots, things can indeed get better.
Elsa turns the show's happy fish mascot, Marty The Mackerel, into the Mad Mackerel monster, creating a fishy situation for the Power Rangers.
Meanwhile, Trent challenges Zeltrax to a duel. Winner becomes second-in-command to Mesogog. It's a close battle, but winner, and new #2, is the White Ranger.

NOTE: Debuted on ABC Family at a special timeslot, at 11:30am Eastern, following an encore of the PRDT "Made-In-Japanathon".
Trent's voice is no longer deepened when morphed as the White Ranger.
First use of the Thundersaurus Megazord's Casting Out attack (using Parasaur and Ankylozord arms).
The way Mad Mackerel was created is sort of like a cross between the way Finster created monsters (with clay figures and the Monster Matic), and the way Lord Zedd created monsters (from inanimate objects.)
This is the only time Thundersaurus Megazord utilizes two Auxillary Zords simultaneously

Anton Mercer relays the story of how Mesogog was born, out of testing an advancement in dinosaur DNA on himself, to his son, Trent.
Zeltrax, desiring to atone for his loss to the White Ranger, creates a bellpepper-based monster, Copyotter. As his name implies, he has the ability to copy items and people. He copies the Rangers' weapons and uses them on the heroes. He creates three clones of Cassidy, sending poor Devin into near insanity. And most importantly, he creates a duplicate White Drago Sword, with which Zeltrax frames White Ranger in trashing Mesogog's lab.
Mesogog uses the Lifeforce Extractor (from "Legacy of Power" and "Back In Black") on Trent for his betrayal. But appealing to his father within, he's able to urge Anton out of Mesogog just in time. When freeing his son from the machine, a stray beam strikes the White Dino Gem, negating the evil code implanted within, thus freeing Trent from its control.
Trent, now in control as the White Ranger, saves Dr. Oliver from an attack by Zeltrax, choosing to fight for the side of good. He joins the DinoThunder team, hoping to make up for the bad deeds he took part in.
Copyotter is destroyed, but Zeltrax, retaining its copying device-arm, creates a Trent-less, entirely evil clone of the White Ranger, loyal only to Mesogog and his wicked forces.

Zeltrax samples a portion of the new Evil White Ranger clone's energy, and creates the White Terrorsaurus monster. With it, and the clone, he helps confuse the Power Rangers about the validity of their newest team member's loyalty. Even when Trent shows up to help fight his doppleganger, trust waivers in the White Ranger.
Terrorsaurus eventually captures the Tyranno, Tricera, and Ptera Dino Zords, and gives the main three Rangers quite a beating. Black Ranger helps Trent reassure his allegiance, by guiding him in uncovering the Shield of Triumph, an ancient artifact of incredible power. For it to work, each of the DinoThunder Rangers will have to give a piece of themselves to the Red Ranger (In all but Tommy's case, their Ranger powers temporarily). Conner proves trustworthy in gaining control of the Shield's power, becoming the Triassic Ranger. He destroys the White Terrorsaurus via some interdimensional antics.
And on a lighter note, Conner has a misunderstanding with a Russian exchange student/fellow soccer player.

Between Trent's duties of helping run the Cyber Space cafe, Conner's hair-raising simulations on helping to develop the new Assault Vehicle, and Ethan's net-search for his soul mate, nobody has time to listen to Kira's good news. She's gotten the interest of a big time music manager for Tones Records, who wants to shoot a music video for her. Unfortunately, she finds herself having to compromise her own style for that of what the manager wants, a techno-pop freak. She eventually chooses to be true to herself instead, and Trent helps shoot a video that reflects who she is.
To get the new Assault Vehicle working, Conner & Ethan seek out a Titanium Servo Mechanism from Anton Mercer Industries. Tyranodrones are sent to stop them, but they're defeated quickly. Zeltrax unleashes the new & improved Aerial Assault Craft (from "Day of the Dino 2"), attempting to draw out the Rangers. While Conner, as the Triassic Ranger, uses the new Triassic Mega-Rover (a Zord chariot of sorts), Tommy hops up into the craft and takes on Zeltrax, one last time. He finally finishes off "Smitty", and narrowly escapes the craft's destruction.
And as for Ethan? His "cyber-hottie" turns out to be Cassidy!

Elsa's got a new plan to bring her master Mesogog's vision of a barren, dinosaur-ruled Earth to fruition: Transmit an implosion-generating signal to Jupiter's Great Red Spot, causing the planet to explode, and set off a chain reaction that'll lay waste to humanity in the process. Her initial broadcast is disrupted by the DinoThunder Rangers, and her second attempt, using the Jupitor monster to transmute into a virus and overtake the satellite of Channel 3, is also thwarted, thanks again to said heroes.
Speaking of Channel 3... Ethan's become real chummy with Cassidy since they discovered their commonalties last episode. He appeals to Kira's altruistic side, and manages to get her to use her position as a lowly intern at Channel 3 as an "in" to reach and convince manager Edward Cormier into giving the aspiring reporter a job. Cassidy gets one, covering a sheep farm. But when the story of the Rangers fighting Jupitor presents itself, she, and her cameraman Devin, manage to pull together, getting exclusive footage. Cassidy gains a spot as a reporter on Reefside Nightly News, and vindicates Ethan's faith in her to Kira.

Debut of the Triassic Mega-Rover's Mezodon Megazord mode, and its Power Pulse attack.
The Evil White Ranger uses his Super Dino Mode for the first time in battle (after a cameo in simulation in "Triassic Triumph"), seemingly dubbed "Super Dino Clone."
Triassic Ranger seemingly destroys the Evil White Ranger clone, but he'll be back, no worse for wear, in "Disappearing Act".
Triassic/Conner is the first Ranger to ever topple a giant monster by hand. The last time anyone else attempted anything similar (aside from the usual 'Zord-less Ranger attacks giant monster' stuff) was Tommy way back in season 1 (in "The Spit Flower")

Ethan takes an interest in deciphering the hieroglyphics of Egyptian ruler Tutenhawken. In doing so, he not only jinxes himself, causing chaos at his every step, but frees the ancient evil from his multi-millenna-long slumber. Mesogog ceases from intervening, sending Elsa out to help the third-party-evil only at the last minute. Hayley's newest invention, the Hovercraft Cycle, is just what Ethan needs to make Tutenhawken history again, in his own territory of the air, and the Triassic Mega-Rover finishes the job.
During his brief re-reign, Tutenhawken took an interest in Cassidy (or Cassipatra as she called herself), which conflicted with the progress she and Ethan had been making in showing people her better side. The monster's treatment of Devin, though, led her to resume the right track, and bridges are mended between her and Ethan.

To help her mutant flower grow into the Thornox monster, Elsa uses a sample of mysterious green slime. Tommy seeks the same ooze from the source, and after a run in with some Tyranodrones, brings back some of it for Hayley to run a test on. She discovers that with it, she can demorph Tommy. The experiment is a success, but though he's no longer the Black Ranger, he's now invisible! Seems the slime kicked his Dino Gem power into overdrive, and until it wears off, he's clearly... well, clear.
As for Thornox, he and the Evil White Ranger Clone team-up, and take on the Rangers' Thundersaurus & Mezodon Megazords.
In personal life developments, Ethan's got his first date with Cassidy coming up, a picnic by the sea. He seeks assistance from his friends in making it go right: Kira helps with his fashion, Conner with his dancing skills, Trent with proper dining manners, and when things turn sour, the invisible Doctor O fixes the situation personally. T-Drones help to cut it all short. Ethan realizes he has nothing in common with Cassidy, and his duties as a Ranger would cut into a relationship with her. Similarly, Cassidy realizes her softening by knowing him is dulling the edge she needs to be a reporter, and her duties as a reporter preclude a relationship. They decide to remain friends.

Tommy's predictament is similar to what Bulk and Skull went through for the first half of Turbo... being stuck in another form (monkeys opposed to fully morphed), and getting free only to be invisible temporarily.
Evil White Ranger Clone, last seen seemingly destroyed in Triassic's dimension in "A Ranger Exclusive", is back without fanfare.

Elsa and her T-Drones dig up a powerful energy crystal, which has the same mineral properties of the Dino Gems. She feeds it to the newly revised and revamped Terrorsaurus II (from "Triassic Triumph"). He fights the four DinoThunder Rangers, and thanks to the crystal, is able to fry their Morphing Energies, leaving them powerless.
Things aren't so well for Tommy, either. Hayley uses his Dino Gem in an experiment to reverse his invisibility, where it overloads, and though he's back to being visible, he's left in a coma. In the hospital, he has a major battle of wills within his fevered mind, facing first his Red Zeo Ranger self, then the White Mighty Morphin' Ranger, followed by the toughest of them all, his old Green Ranger self. Upon resisting defeat, he learns of the true nature of the dream, fighting for his life to prove he's still got a drive to live. He passes the test, and all three of his old selves not only restore him to life, but repair his Black Dino Gem.
Tommy joins the battle against Terrorsaurus II, and with his Super Dino Mode, takes the monster out, restoring his students' powers. The main three Rangers use the Thundersaurus Megazord against the giant Terrorsaurus, and are able to beat him with some Super Dino Mode inspiration.
Oh, and Cassidy & Devin have a bit of a clash when she's eager to go on the air with the story of the Rangers abandoning Reefside.

Debut of Tommy's Super Dino Mode.
First time we've seen the Red Zeo Ranger since PRWF's "Forever Red"; White Ranger (as a dream) in PRZ's "King For A Day, Part I"; and Green Ranger (illusion) in MMPR's "Master Vile and the Metallic Armor, Part II".
First time Original Non-Japanese footage has used the Sentai-style foam shield for the MMPR Green Ranger.
First episode to not feature Triassic Ranger since he was introduced (outside of a quick flashback).
The machine that made Tommy visible is, at least partialy, the same one that freed him from the amber that started this whole mess back in "Leader Of The Whack", and demorphed him in "Disappearing Act".
MMPR White Ranger mentions Angel Grove, the setting of seasons one through six.
For the record, only the MMPR White Ranger's powers are stated by Tommy to be destroyed.
The "Go Go Power Rangers" musical cue makes a cameo when the Red Zeo Ranger first appears, and the Dragon Dagger flute plays a modified version of the Dragonzord summoning tune.
The locales for the Tommy vs Former Powers fight resemble: Red Zeo seems to be Gasket's Arena on Rita's Planetoid; MMPR White seems to be the forest he used to land at when falling from Tigerzord; and Green the ruins he first fought the Power Rangers at.
Each of the Tommy vs Former Powers scenes was tinted the color of the power he was fighting.

Conner's got his sights set on a girl named Krista at school. But she's a passionate, activist type, totally the opposite of himself. He tries (and eventually fails) to impress her by acting interested in her latest environmentalist campaign, to save an over 100 year old tree behind Reefside High that Principal Randall wants to tear down to put in a parking lot. Truth is, Mesogog wants the serum from the tree before anyone else can become aware of it's secret: it's growing over a Life Force Spring. Unbeknownst to him, Zeltrax, having laid low and injured since his apparent death, is already aware and wants the serum from this Tree Of Life to become stronger, and seek revenge on his enemies, which now includes his former master Mesogog and his former love-interest Elsa. He drains the sap, using it to gain a slightly upgraded form, and turns the tree into the Deadwood Monster. The Rangers use the Thundersaurus Megazord, and the new Triceramax Megazord, to destroy Deadwood and give the Evil White Ranger Clone and his Dino Stegazord another beating.
Conner doubts himself as a Ranger again, thanks to seeing how passionate Krista is about saving the tree, and he doesn't have the same kind of confidence in himself. He has a talk with Doctor Oliver, who hammers home the difference between cockiness and confidence, assuring him that if he believes in his deserving an inner power, he'll even surprise himself. This comes into play later, when Conner, faced with having to save Krista from Zeltrax, summons from within himself the ability to not only go Triassic without the need of his teammates, but gains a Battlized form ontop of it, with which he's able to save Krista. Zeltrax is defeated, reverting back to normal and vowing revenge. Conner helps plant a new tree where the Tree Of Life once stood, proving to Krista that he can indeed change, by displaying a newfound confidence in himself and what he's doing in life.

NOTE: Premiered at a special timeslot on a special day, a Sunday, following the "Legacy of the Battlizer" marathon.
Opening credits are altered to include scenes of the Battlized Triassic, new shots of the ATVs, and the upcoming Valkasaurus Megazord.
Though the onscreen title is "The Passion Of Connor", with two "O"s, it's a typo in conflict with how the character and even the opening credits spell it, so it will be spelled correctly here.
Elsa (Miriama Smith) appears in her Principal Randall persona for the first time since "The Missing Bone".
Dr Oliver returns to Reefside High for the first time since before "White Thunder (3)".
Zeltrax returns, revealed to have survived near-destruction in "A Star Is Torn."
Zeltrax's temporarily upgraded form, with its red trimmings, should not be confused the toy-exclusive "Crimson Zeltrax."
The Triptoids, now oddly plentiful, return for the first time since "The Missing Bone." Tommy reveals a new way to defeat them as well: using Dino Gem Power to deactivate them with a golden energy into the Triptroids, followed by a total vaporization when the Rangers maximize their Dino Power.
Debut of the Triceramax Megazord (which is a combination of the Mezodon Megazord, with the Cephala, Dimetro, Parasaur, and Ankylo Dinozords), and its Turbo Fire attack.
Debut of the Battlized form of Conner's Triassic mode, as well as the Triassic Battlizer (called "Triassic Morpher" in the toys).
Battlized Triassic's got a LOT of attacks: Fire Kick, Super Stretch, Battle Punch, Super Stretch Kick, Dragon Yo-Yo, and Battle Blast. Super Fire Power is possibly the "show term" for this Battlized mode, like "Super Dino Mode", or an attack name, it's not yet clear. The toy is named "Mega Battlized Triassic Ranger" (which even has his stretching ability).
Zeltrax now regularly uses a red Invisiportal (having used one before in "Day Of The Dino (2)").
This is the second time that James Napier (Conner) and Antonia Prebble (Krista) have played characters with a romantic interest in each other. Their characters Jay and Trudy are romantically involved in the fifth season of the hit TV series, "The Tribe".
Deadwood is the second monster this season to grow without the use of the Hydro-Regenerator. And he'll be back in "Strange Relations."

Zeltrax is still being sought by Mesogog's forces, as well as his old friend Tommy. He's a loose cannon in this war between good and evil, and despite besting the Evil White Ranger clone in battle, his lack of lifeforce from the recent Battlizer battle is making it harder for him to refuse re-enslavement by his former master.
The lesson plan of substitute science teacher at the high school, volcanologist Dr Morton, inspires Elsa to turn him into a monster, with the power to reactivate a volcano which once existed where Reefside currently is. It'll take some teamwork, the Battlized Triassic, and a rarely used Megazord combo to put a stop to the molten-revolting and restore Morton.
Ethan's extremely cocky about his skills at playing the "Detonation Man" computer game. That is, until his unchallenged reign as king of the tournament for it at Hayley's Cyberspace is tested (and brought down) by none other than Devin, who breaks off from Cassidy to display this hidden talent of his own. And speaking of breaking, Cassidy finds herself quite broken without Devin around.

The Thundersaurus Meagazord (with Stegazord)'s "Hanging Ten" attack is used for the first time since its introduction in "Ocean Alert". First time the Stegazord has been used by the (good) DT Rangers since "White Thunder (3)", and an explaination as to how they can summon it when it's been solely used by the EWR clone for a while now won't come until the next episode.
First time the Triptoids have fought the Rangers in two consecutive episodes in a row. And this is at least the second time the Tyrannodrones have appeared but not fought in an ep.
The Horn Rimmed Monster, despite being made from Dr Morton, actually had a cameo debut as one of three monsters in the "practice dimension" where Evil White Ranger clone sparred in "Triassic Triumph."

The Evil White Ranger clone learns of his rapidly decreasing power. Seems when Zeltrax created him, it caused a glitch in the Morphing Grid. Two White DinoThunder Rangers can't exist at once. So EWR decides to go out in a blaze of glory, Megazord style, only to lose control of the Drago Zord and Stegazord in the process. He goes for one last attempt to change his fate, by dueling with Trent. Despite the clone's use of Super Dino Mode, Trent prevails, and the clone is eliminated for good.
Meanwhile, Dr Mercer recieves the Greenleaf Award for developments in the field of Botanical Research, using genetics on plants to benefit mankind. His reluctant alter ego, Mesogog, utlizes Mercer's research for his own goals, creating the Jade Gladiator out of one of those altered plants. The monster repeatedly defeats the Rangers, and sprouts two extra monsters (Deadwood from "The Passion of the Conner" and the new Skortch monster) to assist him. It takes a combination of every DinoThunder Zord to reap what Mesogog sowed.

NOTE: The use by the Rangers of the Stegazord in the last episode is retroactively explained: the EWR clone's power drain makes it possible. This also marks the first time the White Drago Zord has been used by Trent since "Burning At Both Ends."
Debut and sole appearance of the ultimate Megazord combination for this season (involving every DinoThunder Zord in some form or another), which the toy-line calls the Dino Rage Megazord (some other sources call it the Valkasaurus Megazord), but the show refers to as "Thundersaurus, Full Power".
This is the first time Tommy has been inside a Zord on the show since "Passing The Torch (2)". Also marks the first time the entire DinoThunder Ranger team has been in one Megazord together.
Second time this season a monster has been made from a mutated plant (after Thornox in "Disappearing Act").
First mention of the Morphing Grid since MMAR.
Debut of the Triceramax Megazord's "Tricera Weapons Counterstrike" and "Tricera Lance" attacks.
Dr. Anton Mercer appears for the first time since "Disappearing Act."
It is revealed with this episode that Tommy can enter the Stegazord and form it up with the Dragozord and control the Dino Stegazord in the place of Trent.

Lothor finally climbs his way out of the Abyss of Evil. Disguising himself as his now-captive twin brother (Sensei Watanabe), Lothor tricks Shane, Dustin, and Tori into donning the Wind Morphers, sabotaged to make them his slaves, his own evil Rangers! With them, and a pair of monsters he picked up in the Abyss, Lothor sieges the Wind Academy, and captures the students once more. Marah & Kapri, always looking out for themselves, reluctantly resume their status in their uncle's army.
Meanwhile, Blake comes to Reefside for a Motocross tournament, and begins a flirtation with Kira. It isn't long before Cam contacts him and his brother Hunter, about the current situation regarding their old teammates.
The evil Wind Rangers, with Kelzaks and the two Monster Generals by their side, head on a march of destruction. Hayley & Tommy, noticing a blanket of evil spreading over the state of California from the re-opened Abyss, become aware of this rampage. The three main DinoThunder Rangers are sent to stop them, and holding back so as to not destroy the fellow Rangers, are beaten by the evil Winds.
And Mesogog dispatches Elsa to offer Lothor their aid in the assistance of the destruction of the world...

NOTE: "POWER RANGERS NINJA STORM" meets "POWER RANGERS DINOTHUNDER", part one of two.
The opening credits' final shot of the Rangers posing in front of explosions gets replaced with the DinoThunder/Ninja Storm 11 Ranger colored-smoke pose shot, for this episode and next only.
First team-up between two full Ranger teams since PRWF's "Reinforcements From The Future (2)".
The two "Monster Generals" from the Japanese TV show version of the DinoThunder Ranger's exploits (from "Lost & Found In Translation") make their "real life" debut here, as demons Lothor rescued from the Abyss of Evil. They're not named onscreen, but episode writer Douglas Sloan has said they're named "Pupperazi and Impy" after two net.fans of the program.
First time a team-up between two PR teams has included the footsoldiers from the previous season (unless you count the Piranahtrons in "True Blue To The Rescue").
The scene of Shane, Dustin, and Tori teaching the ninja students is in stark contrast as a bookend to their introduction in "Prelude to a Storm."
It's finally revealed that Lothor's only related to Marah & Kapri by marriage.
Trent mentions that he thought the DinoThunder Rangers were the only team still around, implying all still-active teams from the past are indeed retired.
Lothor's capturing of the ninja students in a bottle is similar to the plight faced by ninja master Ninjor from MMPR Season 3.
There's irony in that it's the Wind Rangers who get turned evil this time around, instead of the Thunders.
This is the first time two different teams of Power Rangers have come to blows with one another.
The method used to turn the Wind Rangers evil is a combo of Astronema turning the TMNT evil in "Shell Shocked", and how Trent became the evil White DinoThunder Ranger earlier this season in "White Thunder (1)" by donning a tainted morpher.
Kira's recognizing Blake is a direct reference to "Legacy of Power", wherein she saw him in both civilian and Ranger forms.
Mesogog's utter lack of respect for Lothor, a factor in both this and the next episodes, was first mentioned back in "Day of the Dino, Part 2"
Trent and Tommy do not appear morphed in this episode.

Cam, Blake, and Hunter head into the Abyss of Evil to retrieve their stolen powers, and run into some resistance, in the form of Zurgane, Kelzaks, and a few previously destroyed monsters. They nearly plunge into the depths, but their Sensei arrives in time to save them.
Mesogog and Lothor form an alliance, with Mesogog providing the plan and Lothor providing the Evilized Wind Rangers. The three Winds Ninjas face off against the main three DinoThunder teens, in an unmorphed showdown, leading up to Dino Gem powers vs Ninja powers, Conner vs Shane, Ethan vs Dustin, Kira vs Tori. It's fairly enough matched a battle, and right when it's about to move up to morphed, Cam, Blake & Hunter show up. They trick their three spellbound teammates into giving up their evilly-enchanted Power Discs for their original ones, thus breaking the spell!
The combined forces of Mesogog and Lothor's troops are assembled, so the combined forces of the Ninja Storm and DinoThunder Rangers all come together to stop them. The 11 Rangers pair off: the two Reds take on Lothor's newest Abyss-spawn Generals, utilizing their Cycles, weapons, and eventually, a double-dose of Battlizer power; Blue Wind and Yellow DT double team on Elsa; Yellow Wind and Blue DT, on their Cycles (including the Hover), take on a few previously-destroyed monsters; Black DT, and Navy & Crimson Thunders team-up against Zurgane; and Green Samurai & White DT face the Wolfblades and the three teams of footsoldiers, using a boost of Super Dino and Super Samurai powers.
But it's Marah & Kapri who save the day, by showing their true colors in swiping their uncle's bottle, and freeing the captured ninjas. Seems they were also behind rescuing Sensei! Lothor hasn't time to let this loss sink in, as Mesogog challenges him to a duel. The fight rages in his lab, leading to Mesogog reverting Lothor into his basic genetic material, kept harmlessly preserved forever in one of his chemical jars.
Seems Lothor's extraction of their powers have brought an end to the Ninja Storm Rangers' powers for good, but their new friends, the DinoThunders, are continuing on the good fight for them. Blake wins his motocross race, as the combined teams cheer him on, and Marah & Cassidy see each other in passing, finding the other stunning, but themselves prettier.

NOTE: "POWER RANGERS NINJA STORM" meets "POWER RANGERS DINOTHUNDER", part two of two.
Among the monsters accompanying Zurgane from out of the Abyss of Evil are Blue Face (from "Prelude To A Storm") the unnamed clown monster seen in Lothor's video footage of losing monsters (from "Double-Edged Blake"), the Wolfblades (from "Shimazu Returns"), and General Treyf (from "Pork Chopped"). All were also in "Storm Before The Calm (2)", along with the unnamed Chinese dragon monster, who also appears here.
First time three different sets of footsoldiers have been used in a single battle at once (that being the Kelzaks, Tyrannodrones, and Triptoids).
Lothor's final fate, action-figure sized in a jar, is similar to the method of containment used on mutants in PRTF.
Ethan views footage from "Storm Before The Calm (2)" on his laptop, a reference to "Legacy Of Power", where it was established that certain scenes of Rangers' lives have been archived.
Marah, Kapri, and Cam make reference to the first time the two girls pretended to be evil, back towards the end of Ninja Storm's run.
The Ninja Rangers having "enough energy for one last fight" is EXACTLY the same thing that happened to Tommy in "Green No More 1-2"

Dr Mercer's night terrors lead to Mesogog's latest scheme. He has Elsa connect the Geno Randomizer to a machine, which taps into and exacerbates the DinoThunder Rangers' dreams, with the hope of destroying them in their sleep. Tommy dreams of fighting the Squidrose monster, based out of his calamari dinner that night. Kira's reptile homework leads to her facing the lovesick Croco D'Vile monster in her dreams. Ethan's research on primates creates the Rumba Monkey monster, who monkeys around with his dreams. Conner, his nightmare inspired by recent Christmas shopping with his mom, faces the festive Rude Elf monster. Each REM-based baddie is defeated, though dreams of teamwork, weapons, and Megazords. The only one to get a good night's sleep is Trent!

NOTE: Cassidy (Katrina Devine) and Devin (Tom Hern) do not appear in this episode.
First time an episode has occured near Christmas, or the holiday season even properly referred to, since PRZ's "A Season To Remember."
Previous episodes involving evilly-influence dreams (or just monster-infused nightmares) include MMPR's "For Whom The Bell Trolls", "Crystal Of Nightmares", and "A Brush With Destiny", PRZ's "It Came From Angel Grove", and PRLG's "Dream Battle"
Dr Anton Mercer appears.
It's explained how Conner can go Triassic without Ethan & Kira around: they can send their added power to him via their Dino Gem Bracelets.
Trent doesn't appear morphed in this episode.
No monsters or morphed fighting outside of the dream sequences.
First time in the show's history we've seen Tommy's bedroom.
This is the fourth episode this season where the Rangers never actually morph (the first three were "Day of the Dino (1)", "Legacy of Power", and "Lost & Found In Translation")
The various dream sequences were, at times, bordered by the color of the dreaming Ranger.
Final "appearance" of Triceramax Megazord and any Auxillary Zord formations.

Trent's artistic inspiration, comic book artist & creator Carson Brady, does a signing at Hayley's Cyberspace. Elsa uses the opportunity to slip him a magical pen, which possesses him into drawing a comic book where the Power Rangers are destroyed by a monster named Fridgia. Once the issue is finished, every one of the DinoThunders are sucked into a comic dimension and forced to live out the storyline! Trent manages to draw himself into the story, and helps change the ending, though in doing so, frees Fridgia, leading to Conner's Battlized showdown with the cold-hearted female creature.
In other events, Cassidy becomes Fantasa-Girl in order to get a story on comic fandom, Trent & Ethan both best Conner at soccer, Dr Anton Mercer helps fund a collaboration comic between Trent & Carson Brady, and Mesogog once again scolds Elsa for her failure.

NOTE: The "comic dimension" sequences were modified via the filmmaking technique known as Rotoscoping.
Principal Randall appears for the first time since "Isn't It Lava-ly."
Kira references the "personality-altering meteor" from "Leader Of The Whack."
Tommy refers to his previous experience with 2-Dimensional book-relation dimension from MMPR's "Storybook Rangers."
Cassidy mentions "comic book fandom", a rare usage of the fan-term "fandom" on a TV show.
Dr. Anton Mercer appears, and will appear in every episode for the rest of the season.
Trent's drawings that Dr. Mercer finds were previously shown being drawn in "White Thunder (1)".
The title of the comic the Rangers become trapped in is "Cold Front." And the collaboration comic between Trent & Carson is titled the same as this episode.
The storyline of "comic dimension superheroes and villains" is similiar to PR's long-canceled sister series, "Beetleborgs".
There's intentional irony that one evil pen (Drago Sword's quill mode) destroys the other, let alone that in this case, the Drago Sword is mightier than the pen.
Carson Brady becomes the first non-Ranger ally on this season to learn of a DT Ranger's secret identity.
This is the first time all five Super Dino Modes have appeared, not only in the same episode, but in the same battle.
Unless you count dream sequences from "In Your Dreams", this is the fourth episode in a row where the Rangers have not actually used their Zords. A Ranger record.
Fridgia's creation, drawn into existence from an evilly engineered pen, marks the fifth different method of creating a monster this season.

Ethan plays against Devin with their favorite card game, "Dragon Wars." He wins using the ultra-rare Ruby Dragon card, but in doing so attracts the attention of Prinicpal Randall, who confiscates their cards. Dr. Oliver is persuaded to talk to Randall about giving the cards back, and when going to visit her office, he witnesses her changing into Elsa! Tommy and Elsa do battle in the schoolyard, blowing her disguise as Randall in front of the whole student body, leaving a vacancy for Prinicpal of Reefside High.
Trent goes to Mesogog's lab by himself, and tries to get the card back, but in fighting Elsa, accidentally ensures it gets turned into the Ruby Dragon monster. While fighting the Rangers, both the Ruby Dragon and Elsa make it known that Trent is hiding something from his teammates. He tries to play it off as his going after the card solo was the big secret. Ruby Dragon is destroyed by the three main Megazords.
Elsa, again threatened by Mesogog for her failure, slips the Ruby Dragon card into Dr Anton Mercer's pocket, setting it up to fall out when he reaches for his cellphone while talking to the Rangers in the hallway of the high school. The stress of explaining how it got there leads to his transforming into Mesogog in front of the team! Mesogog thinks Trent set him up, the team realizes this was his big secret, and trust is lost from both sides on the White Ranger.

NOTE: Final appearance of Elsa's Principal Randall persona, as her dual identity is exposed publically.
The dual identity of Dr. Anton Mercer and Mesogog is also exposed, but to the Rangers only.
First time the Z-Rex Blaster has been used with both the Brachio Staff and Drago Sword attached.
Tommy can pilot the Mezodon Megazord.
This is the first time the Rangers have morphed directly to Super Dino Mode.
Elsa makes direct reference to her feelings towards Tommy, which have not really been a factor, aside from the change in her appearance, since they first surfaced in "Beneath the Surface"
Aside from Trent, who was last face to face with him in "Copy That", this is the first time any of the Rangers have seen Mesogog directly since way back in "White Thunder".
Cassidy mentions she has a 6 year old brother that is, like Devin and Ethan, into Dragon Wars.
Cassidy's little brother, Jake Cornell, was supposed to appear in this episode, discover the rangers identities, and tell Devin who they are. This scene was cut out, but evidence can be found in "Thunder Struck Pt. 2" after Cassidy and Devin confront the rangers after the final battle, and Devin said "I kind of already knew."

The recent attempted exploitation by Elsa of his human side leads Mesogog to finally ridding himself of Dr Anton Mercer. The stunned body of Mercer is carted off by Tyrannodrones, and Mesogog immediately begins acting a lot more insane...
The discovery of Trent's long-kept secret about Mesogog leads the main three DinoThunder teens to realize just how important being a Ranger has been to them, and how much they've grown because of it. Trent reminds them of his own struggles, and explains his reasoning for keeping his word to his father. All but Conner is willing to give him a second chance, and even he is persuaded when, while facing Mesogog's latest monster, Trent saves Conner's life. The team's bond is mended, with Trent fully prepared to face Mesogog to free his father.

Mesogog, now split from Mercer, readies his transmogrifacation beam, which will turn all of humanity into dinosaurs. To power it, he'll need the Dino Gems. But to start with, he siphons off Elsa's lifeforce. Instead of being destroyed by it, she's somehow teleported to Zeltrax, and reverted to a near-amnesiac civilian form. The Rangers face Zeltrax again, and free his captive, stunned to learn who she is, just as much as she is to learn it as well!
Trent makes a deal with Mesogog to trade the Dino Gems for his father. In doing so, he allows his teammates to sneak onto the island fortress and with the help of Hayley's latest invention, blast the dinosaur-izer beam before it can be fired! Trent barely makes it out in time as Mesogog's lab explodes around him, rescuing not only the Gems, but Anton Mercer as well.
Little do they know, that while they were gone, Zeltrax infiltrated Tommy's secret lab, recaptured Elsa, and destroyed the place!
Also, Devin works up the courage to ask Cassidy to the prom. But the matter of finding the Rangers' secret identities or face being fired from their News Reporting job gets in the way. Luckily, he happens to stumble upon the DT team morphing, and actually succeeds in filming it!

Zeltrax was last seen in "Isn't It Lava-ly". His upgraded mode from "The Passion Of Conner" also makes a return.
This is the first and only time Hayley has gone out on a mission with the Rangers.
It is revealed that Elsa was an innocent transformed into an evil villain, specifically like "Cyborg Astronema" from PRiS. Her original civilian name is never revealed, nor how she came to become Mesogog's warrior.
Zeltrax "powers up" to his red-trimmed form by using the same hand motioning as the Rangers do when going Super Dino Mode.
Ethan remark concerning Trent & Anton falling out of the sky and landing right in front of them is a reference to the time he tried it, and it worked, in "Day Of The Dino (2)".
Kira's cry of "No, they can't be gone!" is the same thing she said when she thought that Tommy had perished in the destruction of the Aerial Assault Craft in "A Star is Torn"

What's Zeltrax been up to while he's been absent from the show? Seems he and his Triptoids spent time building the Zelzord, the so-called "Ultimate Fighting Machine." Zeltrax, with the de-evilized Elsa as his captive, pilots the Zelzord into Reefside. Conner and Ethan pilot the Thundersaurus and Mezodon Megazords against the Zelzord, while Trent takes care of Triptoids, and Tommy & Kira rescue Elsa and face Zeltrax. The duo manages to save her, and destroy the cyborg once known as Smitty, once and for all. But the Zelzord takes a massive sacrifice of every Dinozord to stop it.
Mesogog, having absorbed some power from the Dino Gems, transmogrifies to his ultimate dinosauric form, that of the Mesomonster. The five DinoThunder Rangers battle him fiercely, but even the Battlized Triassic power is unable to defeat him. To make things worse, Mesomonster is replicating! Only by pooling their Dino Gem energies into a giant flaming tyrannosaurus, can Mesogog be made extinct permanetly.
Unfortunately, that last trick taps out the powers of the Dino Gems for good. Devin and Cassidy, having recorded this final battle, confront the team, and hand over the tape, admitting they couldn't exploit their friendship for personal gain after all they've done. At the Reefside 2004 senior prom, the couples include Devin & Cassidy, Conner & Krista (from "The Passion Of Conner"), and Ethan & Angela, the girl he met last episode. Kira and her band perform the music. As for Trent, he's going to art school in the fall, The humanized Elsa seems to be the new principal of the school, and she & Anton Mercer seem to be a blossoming item.
As for Tommy? He's going to try to live the quiet life for once, by settling down and continuing teaching.

NOTE: Final episode of POWER RANGERS DINOTHUNDER.
Executive producers Doug Sloan and Ann Austen depart with this episode, having been the show-runners for this season and last, and having been formally associated with the show from MMPR through the early days of PRT.
This marks the third time Jason David Frank has officially and fully departed the show's regular cast as Tommy. The first was in season 1's "The Green Candle (2)", and the second was PRT's "Passing The Torch (2)."
Tommy's urging of Conner to sacrifice the Zords harkens back to his own Zord sacrifice in "Ninja Quest (1)".
The way the Megazords are sacrificed is the exact same thing TJ attempted with the Rescue Megazord in "Chase Into Space (1)".
This is the first, and last, time Ethan has piloted a Zord solo.
Ends with a montage of clips from previous episodes.
Katrina Divine is now the first full credit actor to last two full seasons on Power Rangers since Turbo.

Aired "hidden" around the end of an ABC Family JETIX airing of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie", and on Friday, February 4th on Toon Disney, following "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" at 6:50 pm (called "SPD: Before It Began" there).
Run time was originally approximately 7 minutes, with no opening nor end credit sequences.
In addition to SPD sentai footage, this episode features footage from "Day of the Dino 2" and a very brief clip of Pterazord from "Day of the Dino 1"
Ethan is making additions to the Power Rangers history files seen in "Legacy of Power" and "Thunder Storm 2".
The existence of this Morphing Grid tapping history rock might explain how the Ranger history files exist. It could easily have allowed Tommy and Hayley to access footage that should not exist.
