The seventh episode of Power Rangers Ninja Steel.
Tropes
- The Ace: Through her holo-clones, Sarah excels at track, chess, camping, and archery (much to the disbelief of the other Rangers and Victor).
- An Aesop: Quality is better than quantity. As Sarah says, she's learned it's better to just pick one activity and focus on that rather than affect her performance by splitting her focus well-beyond her ability to handle.
- Armor-Piercing Question: Mick's One-Man Band stunt further adds to Sarah's stress, as she's trying to manage her holo-clones during the crisis.Sarah: Besides, you need to focus on playing one instrument, not four! Y'know, it's better to do one thing well than to do four things terribly.
Mick: Interesting. Uh, aren't you doing four things at once? - Astral Finale: After being Gigantified, Hacktrack flies into space and to the moon, and his final battle takes place there.
- Bad "Bad Acting": When Hacktrack grabs the supposedly upgraded holo-projector, Sarah lets out an overly dramatic, "Oh, no!"
- Batman Gambit: Sarah baits Hacktrack by telling the other Rangers that she's made her holo-projector even more powerful and stressing they not let the villains get it. Hacktrack immediately attacks to claim it and, while absorbing it, brags he heard everything. Sarah gloats that's what she was counting on, with the virus she had uploaded in it soon kicking in and disabling Galvanax's holo-clones.
- Behemoth Battle: Astro Ninja Steel Megazord vs. Hacktrack.
- Cliffhanger: A new Ranger makes a public debut and immediately goes on the run.
- Defeat Equals Explosion: Befalls Hacktrack twice.
- "Eureka!" Moment: After finally focusing, Sarah thinks about how Hacktrack likes her technology and how she can play to that.
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Sarah's response to Mick's Armor-Piercing Question, as she realizes what he's trying to tell her about the situation.
- Faux Affably Evil: Madame Odious asks how her "little secret" in her lab is doing, all as the guy convulses and grunts in pain.
- Foreshadowing: Madame Odious says her secret project is almost done, making reference to the transfer from her captive being nearly complete.
- Friendship Moment: Sarah hugs Mick for teaching her the episode's lesson. Mick says he'll always be around to help.
- Green-Eyed Monster: The Sarah clone at the archery club sets a new distance record, beating out Victor's. He is immediately determined to reclaim his title.
- Irony: Monty ends up setting a new school distance record by himself, due to Victor stepping aside for a moment. Principal Hastings muses to trophy-seeker Victor that Monty deserves some sort of trophy for outdoing both his and Sarah's distance records, much to Victor's irritation.
- It's All My Fault: Sarah over the aliens getting access to her holo-clone technology and using it to attack the city.
- Make My Monster Grow: Hacktrack is gigantified by Cosmo.
- Me's a Crowd: Sarah figures four clubs on her record would look good on college applications, but they're all scheduled for the same time (not to mention her already having the extra workload of school work and Ranger duties). She uses her holo-clone technology to multi-task, controlling them from an interface at the base. Hacktrack later uses the same technology so that Galvanax can use eight gigantified versions of himself to attack the city. Sarah attempts to multi-task a solution with four more clones each working on a different idea, but the stress of all this eventually catches up with her.
- Monster of the Week: Hacktrack
- My God, What Have I Done?: When Brody says Hacktrack grabbed her holo-clone projector, Sarah expresses confidence to the others that there's no way he can make use of it, but she makes this face in private.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Sarah sent a holo-clone to train with the other Rangers rather than go herself, but Hacktrack launched a surprise attack during the session. When the clone gets wiped out, Hacktrack grabs the projector and immediately figures out how to use it.
- One-Man Band: Mick opts to teach Sarah the episode's lesson by doing a rough version of this and not-so-innocently asking her if she could help him make it work. Her frustrated response leads her to realize the lesson.
- Properly Paranoid: Brody immediately raises concerns about what Hacktrack could do with Sarah's holo-clone projector.
- Shout-Out: After Hayley and Calvin hit him with a combined blast, Hacktrack falls over and quotes the Life Alert slogan by exclaiming, "I've fallen, and I can't get up!"
- Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Hacktrack after obtaining the holo-clone projector in the woods.
- Wham Shot:
- Sarah suddenly becoming pixelated and vanishing, during the first fight with Hacktrack.
- Freed from captivity, the prisoner goes for the sixth Power Star. Ripcon walks in on him after he morphs.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Madame Odious tells her prisoner that this is what's in store for him once the transfer is complete. Luckily, the Astro Zord later intervenes and helps him get to safety.
