The Earth Overlord Grizzaka arrives at Dai Shi's palace. However, unlike the other overlords, he's not willing to work under a Dai Shi who's using a human. So, he pushes him aside, and takes up the mantle of leading the armies. Starting with his own personal warrior: Monkiwi.
Meanwhile, the rangers are still puzzled about the appearance of a werewolf attacking them. While dealing with this new monster, they also have to deal with their mentor being evasive, and the 3 way fight they have to deal with in the process.
Tropes
- An Aesop:Fran: Maybe next time you have a problem, you will run to your friends instead of away from them.
RJ: Now, who's the master? - Badass Boast: By Fran, as she stands her ground and looks a lycanthropy turned RJ straight in the eye.Fran: You wouldn't hurt a fly RJ, and you will not hurt me.
- Continuity Nod: Casey recognizes RJ as the wolf they fought before.
- RJ attributes the above to being attacked by Dai Shi.
- Foreshadowing: Fran observes that RJ wouldn't hurt a fly. Absolutely right.
- Mistaken for Transformed: RJ has been having trouble with his Wolf Animal Spirit and transforming into an anthropomorphic wolf monster as a result. He eventually regains control with help from Fran (and soon after morphs into the Wolf Ranger for the first time), but later on, the other Rangers and Fran hear a noise coming from RJ's room, where they discover a wolf and mistakenly believe he's stuck in animal form again. A fully human RJ, who walks in on them talking to the canine, quickly corrects the error when he informs them that he was just dog-sitting.
- Wham Episode: Grizzaka takes over the war against the Rangers. One of the few successful overthrows of a villain in franchise history. But in the inverse, RJ becomes the newest Ranger.
