History Recap / MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP13PeaceLoveAndWoe

A dance is coming up this evening, and Billy doesn't plan to attend with a date. That is until he bumps into the girl Marge who asks him out first. Things are going well until Rita Repulsa's summoned monster Madam Woe mistakes Marge for a Power Ranger, and traps her in another dimension. Billy, and the other Rangers must save his date before it's too late.

* AllYourPowersCombined: This episode shows the Rangers having the ability to give one of them their powers through their Power Coins. It ends up being an InformedAbility at best given that Madam Woe utterly beats on poor Billy for the majority of their fight.
* CassandraTruth: When cornered by Madam Woe, Marge tries to tell her she's not one of the Rangers. Madam Woe doesn't listen to her.

* CurbStompBattle: Madam Woe beats the everloving tar out of Billy even with the power boost he received from the others. Even earlier on the entire team wasn't able to land a good hit on her before Billy kicked her away. It's only thanks to a lucky leg sweep that Billy can remove her jewel and render her powerless.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: No one ever brings the technique of combining powers through the powercoins up again in all three seasons.

* OutOfOrder: Variation; In ''Zyuranger'', this episode's events occurred long after the introduction of Dragon Ranger. Here, it along with the previous episode it was pushed to before the Green Ranger made his debut. This meant that the Ranger Slingers that were used to defeat Woe's counterpart couldn't be used and thus it was replaced with the Power Blaster.
