Rita Repulsa concocts a vile scheme to blackmail the Power Rangers into giving her the Power Coins by kidnapping their parents and sending them to another dimension. Though the Rangers give up the Coins, Rita shows no intention of giving their parents back and all hope seems lost... until their old ally Tommy Oliver arrives to help by reassuming the mantle of the Green Ranger.
Tropes
- Bittersweet Ending: Tommy returns to the team, and they manage to rescue their parents. However, there's the underlying fact that Tommy's powers are temporary, and he could lose them again.
- Bring It: Tommy and Goldar when talking smack before and during the Putty fight.
- Call-Back: Not the first time Bulk and Skull initiated a food fight.
- Food Fight: What happens at the end of the episode.
- Godzilla Threshold: With the other five power coins stolen and the Dragon Dagger in Goldar's possession, the Rangers' only hope is for Zordon to use some of his own energy to give the green coin enough of a boost to restore Tommy's powers for at least one more fight.
- The Ghost: Tommy's parents are never confirmed despite his being there on Parents Day. They never appear in person in Zeo either, even when Tommy's familial roots become more prominent.
- He's Back!: With a combination of Zordon's energy and the force field trapping the power coins, Tommy is able to become the Green Ranger once more.Alpha: Welcome back, Green Ranger!
- Heroic Second Wind: Tommy during the Putty fight after Alpha turns up the power.
- I Need to Go Iron My Dog/Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Squatt and Baboo when Tommy reclaims the Dragon Dagger and Dragonzord.Squatt: What are we gonna do?!
Baboo: I just remembered — I left the oven on. - It's Probably Nothing: Rita's forces see Tommy being brought back in, but write it off since they're confident that his powers can't be restored and move to destroy Angel Grove (and believe that even a newly-restored Tommy isn't strong enough). It backfires spectacularly.
- Oh, Crap!: Mid-fight, Goldar when he realizes the Power Coins are unguarded.
- "You!" Exclamation: Goldar when a morphed Tommy teleports onto the scene.
