 |
| Chad tries to teach Kelsey Tai-Chi, to
try and tame her wild side, but Kelsey just can't
concentrate, and resents being called overexcitable. |
|
A jerk named Brian shows up with his
girlfriend and tries to impress her by fighting Chad, but
only embarrasses himself when Chad floors him. |
 |
|
 |
| A monster who packs enormous firepower is
sent to Mariner Bay. He hurls explosive balls at a
building, setting it on fire. |
|
The Rangers bring their Zords around.
Carter and Kelsey take Hazrescue into the parking lot to
save some people trapped inside. |
 |
|
 |
| Chad tames the fire with Hydro Rescue
while Carter and Kelsey take the people to safety. |
|
Smogger shows himself, sics some Batlings
on the Rangers, then turns into a ball and escapes. |
 |
|
 |
| Chad and Kelsey follow the monster to an
abandoned building. Kelsey blasts at the building, much
to Chad's disapproval. |
|
Then she runs into the building, against
Chad's warning, and is caught in a terrible explosion
which sends her flying back out. |
 |
|
 |
| The blast hit Chad as well, and causes
them both to de-morph. The monster celebrates his victory
and heads back to Vypra to tell her the good news. |
|
Vypra catches Brian snooping around her
hideout. He asks to become her student, to destroy Chad.
She accepts, and puts him under a spell. |
 |
|
 |
| As the Rangers wait outside of Kelsey's
room at the hospital, they are called with news of
trouble, and take off. |
|
Outside, Chad is called over by a
Batling, who and gives him a note from Brian, which
challenges him to battle. |
 |
|
 |
| That leaves only three Rangers left to
face the monster. They encounter him in a tunnel on Main
Street. |
|
Chad confronts Brian, who is backed up by
Vypra and Batlings, and the two begin their battle. |
 |
|
 |
| Ms. F. catches Kelsey sneaking off to the
battle. Instead of stopping her, she gives her a new
creation - a Lightspeed Cycle with a Rescue Speeder. |
|
Three Rangers didn't prove to be enough
to take on the monster. They are tied up and blasted at,
right before falling to the ground. |
 |
|
 |
| Kelsey arrives just in time. She launches
the Rescue Speeder at one of Smogger's bombs and throws
it back in his face. She then unties her teammates. |
|
With Brian losing the fight, the Batlings
grab Chad, and Vypra orders Brian to finish him. Instead,
he snaps out of the spell and helps Chad break free. |
 |
|
 |
| After making peace with Brian, Chad
morphs and rejoins the team to help Carter destroy the
monster on the Lightspeed Cycle. |
|
Kelsey takes another shot at Tai-Chi, and
does much better. To show her gratitude, she decides to
teach Chad something - how to talk to girls! |
Comments:
- Finally, a Chad episode!
- I would have liked to see Brian try to prove
himself against Joel. He wouldn't have taken any
of that crap.
- It was cool seeing the Yellow Ranger riding in on
the Red cycle.
- Ah, the infamous VR Troopers temple. At least we
didn't have to hear anyone mope about how they
missed their dad.
- I'm surprised that this far in, they are still
using the Zords individually, and still sticking
to the theme of rescuing people in danger.
- Carter giving Kelsey a noogie was just about the
dumbest thing I've seen. it was completely out of
character for Carter.
- It's weird, Kelsey's headphones don't have any
wires..
