Episode Guide / Power Rangers S.P.D. / Reflection, Part 1
Reflection, Part 1
Airdate: 08/12/05
Kat and Boom are testing the new
Battlizer program.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are enjoying their
day off in the park.
Their day of rest and relaxation are
brought to a hault as an old face appears. It's Rhynix.
The Rangers morph into action to take
down the enemy once again.
After a series of other captured monsters
appear, Kat checks the containment cards to discover
they're still captured.
When Kat tells Sky that a new upgrade
would only be available for the Red Ranger, Sky shares
with Jack his dream of being a Red Ranger like his
father.
Commander Cruger sends Sky on an
important mission to gain information from a prisoner
named Mirloc.
Sky arrives in a maximum security prison
on Gamma Orion to confront Mirloc. He is told to cover
all reflective surfaces so Mirloc can't escape.
Mirloc provides information, but at a
price. A copycat criminal named Slate is using other
criminals' DNA to mimic them.
Back at Delta Base, the Rangers are
alerted to the return of Sinuku.
The Rangers show up on the scene to
confront the copycat, when Slate reveals his true form.
Slate is aquiring DNA of past criminals
from Broodwing, the latest of which is Devastation.
Gruumm watches and isn't happy that
Broodwing didn't run this plan by him, but decides to go
along with it and sends Morgana to Earth.
The Rangers unite together and are able
to defeat Slate with their weapons.
Slate calls forth a giant robot and
Rangers assemble the Delta Squad Megazord to stop it.
Just as the Rangers are about to contain
Slate, Morgana appears with a trick up her sleeve.
She uses her power to clone Slate into
all six of his past monster forms.
The Shadow Ranger arrives on the scene to
help the Rangers and try to stop Morgana.
Morgana and her monsters overpower and
take down the Power Rangers.
Jack activates the new S.P.D. Battlizer
to stand up against Morgana's threat.
Using R.I.C. as his armor, the Red Ranger
uses the Battlizer to finish them off in a firey blaze.
Back on Gamma Orion, Sky delivers on his
deal with Mirloc who forces him to tell of his most
tragic story.
His father was also the Red Ranger who
faught to protect those around him.
Until one day, he sacrificed his life for
the chance to protect others.
Sky is filled with sadness over the loss
of his father and Mirloc simply laughs at his story. Sky
is deeply hurt and sheds a tear.
Mirloc uses Sky's tear to reflect through
and escape. Sky watches in horror as he realizes what has
happened.
Comments:
This is the introduction of the S.P.D. Battlizer.
It has two modes - Cyber Mode and Sonic Mode.
R.I.C. becomes the armor for the Battlizer.
The Battlized Morpher used to activate the
Battlizer is a repainted Omega Morpher, which
does suggest that Kat used Omega's technology to
assist her in developing it.
Speaking of the Omega Ranger, Sam was nowhere to
be seen this week. The Rangers said that he was
on an away mission.
Sky's dad once again is seen wearing the Red Time
Force Ranger costume. Although the executive
producer says this isn't Wes, this does infer
that Bio-Labs must have been involved in the
creation of S.P.D.
The sadness portrayed by Sky about the loss of
his father was well done. One of this season's
better episodes for sure.
