The Fifth Crystal
Airdate: 09/16/00
 |
|
 |
| Vypra does her best Ethan Hunt
impression, and steals a valuable crystal from a high
security facility. She is now one crystal away from the
set of five. |
|
The Rangers are briefed on the situation.
If Vypra gets the fifth crystal, the city will be in
trouble, and Kelsey's grandmother has it. |
 |
|
 |
| Kelsey visits her snooty grandmother, who
reluctantly gives her the crystal, and effortlessly gives
her the cold shoulder. |
|
Kelsey and some agents set a trap.
They transport the fifth crystal in an armored van
as the Rangers stand watch nearby. |
 |
|
 |
| The bait worked - Vypra shows up in the
Vyprari and blasts the van, sending it crashing off the
road. |
|
Vypra and the Batlings defeat Kelsey and
the agents, and snag the last crystal, placing it with
the others. |
 |
|
 |
| The Rangers burst onto the scene, and
Carter grabs all five crystals from Vypra, who withdraws
her forces. |
|
What they didn't see was the monster
possess the agent in charge. Kelsey proudly hands him the
crystals. |
 |
|
 |
| He reveals himself, and teleports away
with the five crystals. Oops! |
|
When grandma finds out, she lets Kelsey
have it, and kicks her out of the house, leaving poor
Kels in tears. |
 |
|
 |
| As she sulks outside, she spots a truck
driven by Batlings. She catches up to it and sneaks on
board. |
|
It leads her to a military facility,
where she finds Vypra and her crew building a laser to
destroy Mariner Bay. |
 |
|
 |
| She is spotted by a Batling, and tries to
take on the bad guys on her own, without even morphing. |
|
Meanwhile, the Rangers run into Olympius
and Loki as they search for Kelsey. |
 |
|
 |
| Kelsey is captured by Batlings - doesn't
look like she was a match for so many villains at once. |
|
Kelsey's old fool of a grandmother
appears in a forklift, freeing Kelsey, and destroying the
laser. |
 |
|
 |
| The two make their getaway, and Kelsey
leaves to join her teammates. |
|
Kelsey morphs and arrives just in time to
help the team fight the bad guys. |
 |
|
 |
| The monster joins his friends, but he is
desroyed by a combined V-Lancer shot. Olympius and Loki
retreat. |
|
Kelsey and her grandmother surprise the
Rangers at lunch when they zip by on rollerblades. |
Comments:
- This was a good episode up until that
ridiculous old woman showed up in that silly
armor, fighting off Batlings, and pretty much
saving the day. What were they thinking? This
ranks right down there with Grandma Matchmaker
from Power Rangers in Space.
- Why did the Batlings take human form for the
heist? Their natural form was perfectly suited
for the mission, and they have no need to hide
their identities if they are caught.
- Grandma was surprised to find Kelsey at Vypra's
hideout. So why did she tell her that she came to
rescue her?
- Olympius' dash at the Rangers was pretty cool.
- At last, the Vyprari makes a return appearance.
