History Recap / MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP38ABadReflectionOnYou

* ThreeTwoOne: Kimberly tries to sneak out of detention but Bulk and Skull are so experienced with detentions they simply count from three to one and Mr. Caplan shows up bringing Kimberly back.

* AbsenteeActor: Subverted, Zordon and Alpha 5 only appear in one scene, and are already aware of the situation.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Twin Man's ''Zyuranger'' equivalent never spoke.

* {{Hammerspace}}: Bulk has a small lunchbox which his mom somehow crammed a bunch of food into it (including a mustard bottle, ketchup bottle, ham, footlong, pineapple, cream pie, etc). The Rangers are perplexed.

* GetOut: Or in this case Get In. After seeing the imposters attacking the city on Bulk's TV and realizing they were framed for the prank, the Rangers try to figure out how to get out of detention. Kimberley tries to sneak out. However, Bulk and Skull know better than to do that. Bulk says that he wouldn't as she'll be back. Skull then counts down from three and cue Mr. Caplan bringing Kimberly back in saying "And ''stay'' in!".

The fake Power Teens enter Angel Grove High School and start sabotaging the school's drinking fountain by pouring laundry detergent into it. Bulk and Skull walk by, with Skull hitting on the fake Kimberly and the fake Billy grabs a friend of Billy by the shirt and tosses him on the floor. Soon, Mr. Caplan goes to have a drink, but gets squirted in the face with suds. Caplan yells at the teens that they're going into detention. The impostors then leave, just as the real Power Teens exit the classroom. They see what's happening, and Jason turns the fountain off. But unfortunately, the five are forced to take the blame for what their doppelgangers did by sharing detention with Bulk and Skull.

Soon, the Rangers morph and teleport downtown, just as Scorpina and the Twin Rangers cause havoc. And so, it's Ranger against Ranger. The Black, Blue, Yellow, and Pink Rangers easily defeat their clones, who turn back into Putties, as the Red Ranger manages to defeat Twin Man and shed his disguise. Then, the Power Rangers destroy Twin Man with their Blade Blaster tower formation and the Power Blaster. Not too long, the citizens of Angel Grove show up and thank the Rangers for getting rid of the impostors.

** Rita tells Twinman and the Putties to "do [their] best to do [their] worst."

* BigWhat: Kimberly does this when Mr. Kaplan sends the Rangers to detention. They were [[{{Frameup}} framed]] by Twinman and the Putties.
* DeathGlare: The teens deliver one to Bulk and Skull for cheering on the Power Rangers “turning” evil, although they could've found it an exciting news story.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Bulk and Skull cheering on the Power Rangers for committing evil deeds is brow-raising considering how later in the Season 2 opener, and for the remainder of their tenure, they’d proclaim how much they adore the rangers, even stand up for them in the finale for ''In Space'', for their constant altruism. Considering that this was intended to be the penultimate episode before [[SeriesFauxnale Doomsday]], this aspect of their personalities may have been changed for later installments or they found it awesome news story.

This included shooting civilians, humiliating their school's principal in front of the other students, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking wearing sunglasses all the time]].
