The winner of the biggest fan is the little girl Victor made fun of, who now has a similar costume. He is blown away when his fan is turned on.
Episode Review:
I must say, as a gay man, I am really smitten by Levi. Never before has a Power Ranger (in a long time) looked like a cowboy all-American manly man. He is an 'aww schuks' kind of guy. Maybe I am just into that kind o guy. But he is also very built, more so than the other male Rangers this season and even the movie. Tyler last year was manly man body wise with all the facial hair but not his personality. Anyway, a good ep. This is the classic Red Ranger and Sixth Ranger become friends episode and then we never see them bond again. I do like that the Pink Ranger's clone device from last episode was referenced. I do feel it is too soon for the Lion zord to be revealed as it should be in the second season. I mean, that's almost all the zords. The Loud House episode that aired afterwards had a 3-minute Behind the Scenes preview of the movie.
