After "For Ventara and Earth Part 1" aired, CW4kids aired a promo announcing to see the season finale on their website. We have a saying in Spanish for this, it is "Te quedo bonito," which literally means "You left it pretty," which means that they fixed up their error in a half-assed way.

SPOILERS BELOW!!!
"Danger and Destiny" Part Two - With Spoilers
A brief recap is shown (I wonder why if this is the only time it will be airing and they knew ABC Kids would air this back to back, but I guess for the dvd's). Tenaya enters a room with K. K downloads a new virus into Tenaya's memory drive, her eyes glow. Summer notices that Scott's morpher glows. Military code from his dad. Sector 12, Quad 5. Tenaya is ready, when the virus is loaded, they can morph. Ziggy is to guard K, she doesn't like that ideas, saying she ended up in a cave last time he protected her. Tenaya goes past General Crunch and goes to the tower. Hybrids are being labeled by Grinders, Scott poses as one and beats up the Grinders. Scott, Summer, and Flynn fight Grinders in the warehouse where Mason singled them to go to. Mason and Scott meet up. Tenaya tells everyone to get out in the tower. She locks the doors and smiles.
The trio fight the Grinders as Mason gets the human prisoners out. The Grinders back up, Venjix arrives. Scott asks to morph, they can't. Venjix wants them to join them or be destroyed. Summer says that doesn't sound like living. Tenaya is done witht he virus, she asks K to disconnect, K says not yet, she wants to see what is buried in there. She then finds the Ranger stuff. Encrypted files. Ziggy was looking for food in the garage but finds a bolt on the floor and it's a trap--Grinders. Venjix sends a blow to the trio---K clears it to morph--they of course Morph, explosion, safe. After the commercials, the fog clears and the Red, Blue and Yellow Rangers are safe. Ziggy continues fighting Grinders and morphs into Ranger Green. Watch the Hammy? Hamstring? Yellow fights the grunts outside now. Reminds me of the first MMPR Movie for some reason, maybe it is how she says 'rev it up' and 'see ya.' Red fights Venjix.
Tenaya is still hooked up to Venjix's main computer and K is still working on something. Venjix says enough, the Grinders go to him. He plans to delete them. K smiles. The Grinders are instead deleted. Ziggy falls, thinking it was him. Venjix strikes the tower. Tenaya goes down. Crunch tries coming in. Dillon wakes up, conveniently. He catches up, seeing K and Tenaya on the screen. He pushes Ziggy aside and races off in his car. K tells Ziggy to help her. Crunch blasts through and calls Tenaya a traitor. They fight. Crunch is a wild fighter. The trio continue fighting Venjix, Blue & Yellow go down. Ziggy removes a panel that was for the Ranger suits. K brings back Silver and Gold into the display case. The trio gets up and attack Venjix at once. He backs up and blasts at them. Their helmets comes off. Venjix says he can't be defeated.
After the commercial break, Venjix talks to K directly, saying she lost. Ziggy looks as the Silver and Gold arrive and leave. The trio looks up and it is the Gold and Silver Zords. They blast the tower off. Dillon has arrived and fights Crunch. The tower falls, Dillon grabs Tenaya and they go to the emergency chutes. They fall out and take out the parachute. The trio run for cover as the tower directly falls on top of Venjix, an explosion occurs. The trio walks through the wreckage. Gem and Gema have a happy reunion with them, having survive death, twice. K calls for Dillon and Tenaya, no answer at first but they say they are enjoying the view. Ziggy wants to know how to do that thing K did with Gem and Gema, so they can be rich. K rolls her eyes. Later, a now non-robot-like Hicks and some of Mason's soldiers go out of Cornith dome (now without the fake sky) and check the oxygen. Mason wants Scott to command the eagle squad. K checks Tenaya's eye implants, doesn't know how long they will last. Flynn says he and his dad are building new computer systems for the city. Gem and Gema will also be in the eagle squad.
K wants their morphers, Ziggy is the first to give his up. He whispers, "Get in Gear." Flynn, Scott, Gem and Gema go next. Summer puts hers and then finally dillon, with a smile. 'No more series operators, what's next?' Ziggy and K are starting a school for kids. She calls him Ziggy, because he is not a series operator anymore. Summer says there is a world waiting to be rebuilt. Scott tells Dillon he better not be getting a call to go save his butt. Ziggy and Dillon share a hug. K gives dillon and K the locket, they say to keep it. dillon thanks K. dillon, Summer and Tenaya leave. Ziggy puts her arm around K's shoulder and she smiles. dillon stops his car, they all get out to a flower, Dillon puts water on it. They find more little flowers and then over a stoop, many more flowers, a lake and mountain. Also, an ominous ending, with a red glowing light being hauled away in a case by Dr. K.
Review: Judd 'Chip' Lynn did a fantastic job, even though Dillon waking up as soon as Tenaya was in trouble was predictable, what wasn't was taking down the tower--well that was a bit predictable. I'm not so crazy about the special effects of the tower falling, probably too little budget, it's the best they could do. Touching ending, couldn't do better myself. So to keep track, Tenaya, Dillon, and Summer went out exploring; Scott, Gem and Gema went military; Flynn and his dad are to do the computer systems; Ziggy and Dr. K are in charge of their own school. The very ending ending was a bit tacked on, but made sense. We know know we are not getting a sequel, so to even suggest that is fuitile, but I guess Judd wanted us to see that life goes on in that universe and that nothing is ever 'over.'
Like with Super Sentai Color Personalities, where certain character archetypes (girly girl, tomboy, stubborn one, bad boy, etc.) are used often in Super Sentai; RFyleCreatorAnimator was wondering if there was common use personalities in Kamen Rider. With Kamen Rider Ryuki for example, you have Shinji (the nice one), Ren (the bad boy that will come around), Shuichi (who is hard to pin point and he is not black/white but in a grey area), & Asakira (psycho). But they all change, their characteristics don't always stay the same. They turn around, either by other characters or circumstances. The two roles that never change and are used a lot is the two main Riders, a happy-go-lucky one and a serious rival who gives the first one a tough time and turns around in the end to work as a team.
Igadevil disagrees: It's hard to pin down some of them to just being one archetype, I think every Rider is unique in some way from the last guy and from the guy after him. So categorizing them into "happy guys", "angry guys" etc. is difficult for me. I suppose the closest I would come to categorizing them is saying that some have dealt with more personal tragedy than others, but how this affects their personality varies. Hongo (Kamen Rider 1) and Ichimonji (Kamen Rider 2) both underwent similar circumstances, but deal with it in different ways. Likewise with Tsugami (Agito) and Ashihara (Gills), though the latter carries the burden of remembering what happened (sorta.)I think you could divide them into proactive and reactive types depending on the character. Hibiki and Tendou (Kabuto) are proactive, the overall mission of fighting the villains is always on their mind. Ryoutarou (Den-O) and Wataru (Kiva) are more reactive, they spring into action when things happen. Obviously there are exceptions in all cases but again it's hard to pin it down. Look at someone like Tsukasa (Decade), who can be very sarcastic and by turns very honest as well.
If there are any roles that are reused but always with their twists, here are some, even if over-simplified:
I am only mentioning the parents that appeared on screen. Thanks to RFyleCreatorAnimator to this suggestion, to highlight the parents.
Jason's Mom and dad
"The Return of an old Friend Part 1 & 2" They both wore red and only the father spoke, he was a muscle head.
Zack's Mom and dad "The Return of an old Friend Part 1 & 2" They both wore purple.
Trini's mom and dad "The Return of an old Friend Part 1 & 2" They were smarty-pants, Trini arm-wrestled Jason's dad.
Billy's father "The Return of an old Friend Part 1 & 2" I think I remember Billy saying he was a scientist. Billy's dad came in late to Parent's day looking for Billy. He mention his mom in one ep but she was never seen.
Kim's Parents "The Return of an old Friend Part 1 & 2" Kim's mom & father were divorced, Kim always looked fondly at their relationship, evidenced by the purse she had from their first date. In the two-parter, Kim's mom appeared with her new boyrfiend.
"A Brush with destiny" By season 3, Kim's mom returned with a new French fiancee who she married and moved to Paris, France. Kim's mom only appeared in 2 episodes, played by the same actress. She was mentioned off-screen when Kim was in the hospital later in the season, through a phone call with Tommy.
Aisha's Parents "A Brush with destiny" In that same episode, Aisha's parents offered Kim to live with them when her mom moved to France. Aisha's parents never appeared on screen again but Kat lived with them too. By Zeo, Kat's parents had moved to Angel Grove and took in Tanya. We did not see Rocky, Adam or Kat's parents on screen.
Tanya's Parents When Aisha met Tanya, she was a young America girl in Africa--her parents were lost. They were explorers who left her in Africa. Mid-way through Zeo, she found them on an island when they discovered Auric.
Justin's dad In the Turbo movie, it was mentioned that Justin's mother had recently passed away.

Dustin's dad He appears briefly in one episode, making Cam miss his dad.

Udonna and Leanbow In Mystic Force, their mentor the White Ranger Udonna was the first parent to be a Ranger or first Ranger to be a parent. They later found out Nick was her son Bowen and that the villain Koragg was her husband and father to Nick, Leanbow. They are the second and third parents to have first names, but they didn't have surnames. Udonna was also the first mother to be a major character.
