Tropes

  • Berserk Button: Cole over Master Org holding his family photo.
    Cole: That's MINE!
  • Big Damn Heroes: Bulldozer Org gets ready to finish a downed Red Lion, but then the other Zords move in.
  • Blatant Lies: "It's okay, honey."
  • Defiant to the End: Elizabeth when refusing to tell Master Org where she hid baby Cole.
  • Determinator: Red Lion tries to keep fighting despite its injuries from linking with the Bear zords, but ultimately can't handle the power.
  • Didn't See That Coming:
    • Master Org over Cole being the baby in the photo.
    • It turns out the Soul Bird wasn't the only new Zord in the forest.
  • Dramatic Irony: This episode reveals to the audience the fate of Cole's parents, though Cole himself wouldn't find out what exactly happened to them until "The Master's Last Stand".
  • Evil-Detecting Baby: At the start of the flashback, baby Cole is crying profusely. We soon see why.
  • Flashback: When Master Org sees Cole's photo, we get one of Cole's parents being attacked by him.
  • Foreshadowing: "You did it. You took the seeds, didn't you?"
  • Heroic Sacrifice: While fleeing from the camp, Richard suddenly hesitates and lets himself be caught up in Master Org's vines so that Elizabeth can keep running with their son. Elizabeth is cornered soon afterwards, but this still gave her time to hide baby Cole somewhere safe.
  • Honor Before Reason: According to Cole, Red Lion insists on forming the Megazord so that the Rangers don't have to face a giant monster by themselves.
  • Hope Spot: The Rangers are about to take out Bulldozer Org, but then Red Lion becomes overwhelmed by the strain.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Jindrax insulting Bulldozer Org's intelligence.
  • Insult Backfire:
    Cole: Master Org. You're the one responsible for all this destruction!
    Master Org: [chuckles] Impressive, isn't it?
  • It's Personal: Everyone wants to help heal Red Lion, but Cole has a personal investment because he views the Zord as family and never knew his own parents.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: Bulldozer Org is a rather jolly but clearly dimwitted figure.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Toxica immediately does this to Bulldozer Org to exploit Red Lion's condition.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: According to Cole, the two Bear Zords want to help Red Lion after accidentally causing his weakened state.
  • Never Say "Die": After seeing the baby's not in blanket.
    Master Org: Where is he? Tell me! Tell me or I'll—!
    Elizabeth: You'll never find him.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Cole is completely beaten up by Master Org
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Cole when he realizes Master Org is behind him.
    • Master Org when he sees Cole's photo.
  • Skyward Scream: Cole over losing the Soul Bird.
  • Trauma Button: Master Org is noticeably shaken by Cole calling him a coward. His origin episode will show that he felt severely wronged by his closest friends, yet he never so much as voiced a complaint before obtaining his powers.
  • Wham Episode: It's revealed that Master Org killed Cole's parents
  • Would Hurt a Child: In the flashback, Master Org fully intends to kill baby Cole.
