1Using her winning design, Katherine oversees her friends in the conversion of a vacant lot into low-cost housing for the homeless. Targeting her former flunky, Rita orders Rito and the Tengas to trash the team's hard work, and turn Kat into a monster again! But by mistake, the Brick Bully monster is created instead. With the monster getting more powerful as he consumes construction materials, and trapping most of the Rangers into bricks, can the new Pink Ranger come up with a way to save her new teammates while Billy goes solo against Brick Bully?

3!Tropes
4* AchievementsInIgnorance: The Brick Bully is created by accident after Rita tries to cast a spell on Kat and ''misses'', but it's pretty lethal.
5* AndIMustScream: The Brick Bully miniaturizes four of the six Rangers and seals them inside bricks; whether they were conscious or not is unclear, but if they were...
6* CassandraTruth: When Bulk and Skull arrest the mayor, they don't believe her claims that she is the mayor...until Lt. Stone yells at them.
7* {{Foreshadowing}}: Billy defeating the Brick Bully on his own demonstrates how far he's developed since the series began, and shows the mature role he'll take in a future story arc.
8* ItsAllMyFault: For some reason, Katherine blames herself for Brick Bully trapping four of the Rangers in bricks. [[RousingSpeech Zordon snaps her out of it]].
9* NegativeContinuity: Usually, when Rangers or civilians are transformed into inanimate objects (be it [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP32RockyJustWantstoHaveFun pachinko balls]], [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP10WizardforaDay a chemistry set]], or [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP11FourthDownandLong footballs]]), no explanation is given. Here, we actually learn that the Rangers [[AndIMustScream were shrunk and trapped inside real bricks]].
10* NoOntologicalInertia: Averted. Even after Billy destroys Brick Bully, Alpha and Katherine's erosion process is still needed to free the other Rangers.
11* RecognitionFailure: Despite having seen Mayor Carrington back in Season One's "Doomsday", Bulk and Skull mistake her for a vagrant and don't notice her identity until Stone spells it out for them.
12* ShoutOut: When Bulk and Skull were wondering how they were going to explain to Lt. Stone that Rito and the Tengas attacked the construction site, Skull suggests they just tell him the truth. Bulk retorts "[[Film/AFewGoodMen He can't]] ''[[Film/AFewGoodMen handle]]'' [[Film/AFewGoodMen the truth!]]".
