A Matter of Trust
Airdate: 3/11/00
 |
|
 |
| The Rangers are given a new assignment -
to pick up a scientist and his fuel cell at the airport,
and escort him back to the Aquabase. The fuel cell is
very powerful, but also sensitive, and cannot be exposed
to heat. |
|
Dana is given a different mission - to
bring back one of Mitchell's friends to the Aquabase.
Dana resents this assignment, seeing it as nothing more
than a babysitting job. She questions her father's trust
in her. |
 |
|
 |
| At the Skull Cavern, they let baby Impus
create the newest monster - Fireor, who will attampt to
steal the fuel cell from the Rangers. |
|
The Rangers arrive at the airport and
take Dr. Hanson, along with a case containing the fuel
cell, away in the Rescue Rover. |
 |
|
 |
| Dana has also reached her
"special" assignment, and meets a kindly old
man named Earl, who seems to be ready for a fishing trip.
|
|
On their way back, the Rangers are
attacked by Fireor and a team of Batlings. They morph and
fight back to protect their cargo. |
 |
|
 |
| As usual, Carter fights the monster,
while the rest of the team fights the Batlings. They need
help, and so Carter calls Dana for backup. |
|
Dana heads towards the battle, but Capt.
Mitchell calls her and orders her to return to the
Aquabase, and not to go help the team. |
 |
|
 |
| Fireor breaks through the Rangers'
defenses and snags the case. But when he opens it, it's
empty! He deduces that Pink Ranger must have it, and
takes off. |
|
He creates a circle of fire above the
city, which is drawing on sun's power to roast the
citizens of Mariner Bay, and detonate the heat sensitive
fuel cell. |
 |
|
 |
| The Rangers help some heat exhausted
civilians into the shade. As fireballs fly down from the
sky, Chad spots Fireor with his visor scanner. |
|
The Rangers head up to this location, and
engage Fireor in battle. With the team down to four, they
are not doing so well against this new foe. |
 |
|
 |
| A stray fireball causes Dana to crash.
She and Earl get out, and Dana disocovers that Earl
actually has the fuel cell. Her faith in her father is
restored. |
|
Unfortunately, Vypra has found her, and
wants the fuel cell. Dana and Earl flee, but Vypra chases
after them, cornering them at the piers. |
 |
|
 |
| The two dive into the water, and safely
retreat back to the Aquabase, With the fuel cell safe,
Dana leaves to help the other Rangers. |
|
Everyone gangs up Fireor, and hold him in
the path of a fireball he summoned to destroy the
Rangers, which destroys him instead. |
 |
|
 |
| He is brought back as a giant, courtesy
of Jinxer, but is destroyed by the Lightspeed Megazord. |
|
Back at the Aquabase, Dana apologizes to
her father for not believing that he trusted her. |
