Episode Guide / Power Rangers Dino Thunder / The Passion of Conner
The Passion of Conner
Airdate: 09/05/04
Conner pretends to be interested in
saving a tree to impress Krista who is passionate about
the environment.
At a picket to save the tree, Conner
admits to Ethan he doesn't care about the tree and Krista
overhears him.
Krista won't back down to the
construction crew, when a crane accidently drops. Conner
uses his super speed to save her.
Later on, Zeltrax is alive and wants the
serum from the tree. He finds Devin tied up and demands
he go announce to the Power Rangers of his return.
Elsa shows up to claim the tree for
Mesogog, when Zeltrax attacks her and they engage in
battle.
Zeltrax transforms this tree of life into
Deadwood.
At the Dino Lab, Hayley informs them that
the tree obtains water from a fountain of youth, which
both Zeltrax and Mesogog seem to be seeking.
Conner begins to doubt if he really has
the passion to do anything for what he believes in like
Krista.
Tommy tells him that at his age, he too
lacked confidence, but also tells him that he when he
does he'll find a power much greater than even Triassic.
The Rangers are alerted to the Triptoids
appearence.
Elsa and the White Ranger show up to join
the fight.
A new and improved Zeltrax appears fully
powered by the tree of life.
While the others deal with the Deadwood
and the Dino Stegazord, Tommy and Trent handle Zeltrax,
but are overpowered.
The Black Ranger informs Conner to
combine the four assault Dinozords with the Mezodon
Megazord to create the Triceramax Megazord.
With the powerful Triceramax Megazord on
their side, the Rangers defeat the Dino Stegazord and
destroy Deadwood.
While Krista shows up to find a way to
protect the tree, Zeltrax arrives to absorb its fountain
of youth.
The Red Ranger shows up to save Krista
and engages in a losing battle with Zeltrax.
Zeltrax takes Krista as bait, and the Red
Ranger follows.
The Red Ranger shows up injured, but
still determined to sage Krista.
Conner remembers Tommy's words of wisdom
about how passion doesn't just happen, you make it grow.
Conner finds the passion to ignite an
imense supply of Dino Power and morphs straight into the
Triassic Ranger.
The Triassic Ranger uses the remaining
Dino Power to unlock the Battlizer.
The Triassic Ranger uses the Battlizer's
Super Stretch abilities to save Krista from a fall after
Zeltrax drops her.
The Triassic Ranger uses the Battlizer to
overpower and defeat Zeltrax.
Zeltrax survives the blast, but has
reverted back to his normal form. He swears revenge upon
his enemies.
At school, everyone gathers around as
they plant a new tree in hopes for new beginnings.
Comments:
When Conner is able unlock the power, he is able
to morph directly to Triassic Ranger, which
before could've only been achieved with help from
Ethan and Kira.
The Triptoids are used for the first time since
Episode #17 - The Missing Bone.
In the scene where Conner remembers Tommy's
advice, he says "Passion doesn't just
happen. You make it grow." But during the
conversation they have, it doesn't actually show
him say that.
Super Stretch was definitely one of the weirdest
Battlizer abilities.
