SPOILER ALERT
A battle ensues between the Dino Fury Rangers, and the Morphin Masters against Zedd's forces on the planet Zordnia. The Morphin Masters fly around everywhere. Zayto fights in his White Ranger/Ghost Ranger suit. Lord Zedd is given a drink by a squid alien. Bajilia introduces herself as the CEO of a mining corporation. She released Zedd from his crystal as it had a strong energy signature. She wants to start an intergalactic war, she says he is in charge. Billy comes out of the woodwork and fights the Zentinels. Ollie recognizes him. Mick changes from a rock. He exclaims to Billy that it is some research trip. Ollie helps fight with Billy. Billy says his team is back on Earth. Amelia updates Mick by using her Rafkon powers and doing a recap of last season.
Squilia is a fan of Lord Zedd and the daughter of Bajilia. Brajilia shows the Squid Drills and it makes the Zentinels, the footsoldiers. Zedd is about to fight and Squilia wants to go and Brajilia sends a Copy Guard with her. The Rangers fight Zedd. Zedd recognizes Billy. Billy says it is impressive he reminds him. They fight. Zedd blasts Billy. Aiyon tells Zayto about his cafe. Ollie wishes they still had zords. Ollie makes a Cosmic Portal and Amelia sends two monsters inside. Zedd is upset. Squilla brings Doodrip. Izzy makes fun of him Doodrip drops blue poison on all the Rangers, he says it is the same one Zedd used before to make Rangers evil. Zedd clarifies it was only designed for Ollie. Hence, Ollie becomes evil. No, seriously. Some goo makes him evil. Ollie opens a portal and sends Zayto away. Aiyon tries to reach for him but he is gone.
The Rangers fight Ollie. Zedd fires Doodrip. Red Morphin Master sees Mick and turns him into his old Red Ninja Steel Ranger form. He joins the fight. (Side note: this reminds me of when the Monitor turned Cisco back into Vibe in the Crisis on Infinite Worlds crossover on the Flash) Scrozzle arrives with a device, the Master Captivator. They capture the Morphin Master and convert them into energy. Zedd likes this. Red drops his staff to Javi and he gets a vision of where to go. Billy says to regroup. They all teleport away. Brajilia says the masters can not help the Rangers. The Rangers teleport to the place Master Red showed Javi. Billy says they are safe for the moment so they demorph. Mick says it is the Altar of Zordnia, what Billy and Mick were looking for. Lightning strikes it. Ollie and Squilla use a Squid Drill to look for the Rangers. Izzy asks if the altar has animals. They think it might form a Megazord. Billy says it is the planet that his team got the Shogunzords years ago. Mick says the Cosmic Fury Zords are zords that have been hidden for years. Aiyon thinks the Morphin Master staff might fit.
Billy says the altar is dangerous, maybe only Morphin Masters can use it. Mick takes away the staff. Ollie's Squid Drill arrives. It changes to Battle Mode. They are blasted at. Javi grabs the staff from Mick and Billy protests. Javi places it in and a lot of lightning hits it and it glows. Javi is pushed back. Cosmic Fury Zords appear from the sky. They start blasting the Squid Drill. Billy says they are semi-autonomous and he likes that in his zords. Javi realizes his arm is gone and goes into shock. Mick and Javi teleport away. The others morph. Amelia says to take any zord they want but she takes the Lion Zord because it is the center. Aiyon takes Shark, Izzy takes Chameleon, and Billy takes Wolf. They try to figure out the controls. Billy can remotely pilot any zord as well. Amelia doesn't want to leave Ollie. Billy calls the Megazord so Cobra, Chameleon, Lion, Wolf, and Shark combine. Ollie makes fun of it. They fight. Izzy tries the lash. Billy switches the Chameleon for Cobra for the arm. They call a Mega attack in hopes Ollie will surrender. Squilla leaves. Ollie doesn't surrender. Amelia leaves and her zords go to remote. She teleports into the drill and asks Ollie to go with her. She fights the Zentinels and calls Snzooze time, putting everyone to sleep. She grabs Ollie and teleports away. They destroy the drill.
Billy sees more ships coming. Amelia has the cosmic key so they leave. Inkworth is the new butler of Zedd in the Mega Drill. Squilla arrives and gives Zedd the bad news. They set the fleet's course to Earth. Back at the base on Earth, Aiyon, Tarrick, Mick, Pop Pop and Izzy argue. Amelia has Solon roar. Amelia lays it for them. Mick says Billy has put word out to the other Ranger teams about the possible invasion. Tarrick says he will warn his Rafkonian people. Aiyon is more worried about Zayto. Mick calms him. Mick goes to Billy, he says Javi and Ollie are both stable, both being in the med bay. Izzy asks about Javi's arm. Billy says it can't be reversed. Izzy thinks about Javi's well-being mentally as he is a musician. Solon says he is not the only one who has gone through something like this and offers to help. Ollie's mom says they will try to find a way to help everyone. She will recreate the antidote. Billy says they have all been put through the wringer but this is a challenge he is sure they are all ready for.
Franchise Shout-outs:
* Zordnia is a deepcut from season 3, where the Shogunzords came from.
Episode Review:
It is smart to continue having a lightning theme throughout the season as lightning is the iconic core symbol of the entire Power Rangers franchise. I also would have liked if they explained how Mick and Billy met and what led them to look for the Zord Altar. I also wish they named the zords because I think some went unnamed. This reminds of the Disney days when some zords went without a name. Switching zord cockpits gets disorientating because they are clearly going by the footage without explaining why they went with a specific zord. As I said before, I don't like how Ollie became evil, with a sudden dousing of ooze. I did like how Javi lost his arm though, it showed part of his character, willing to take a risk and then having to face the consequences. I also like the inclusion of Pop Pop, Ollie's mom and Tarrick. And those worried about Saturna, she doesn't appear in this season but is about six months pregnant.
