-->'''Rito:''' The way I see it, Ed, we need a fool-proof way to defeat the Rangers.\\
'''Zedd:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, is that the way you see it?]]


Added DiffLines:

* DumbassHasAPoint: Rito suggests turning a Ranger into a monster and then using that creation against the others. Zedd thinks he might be on to something for once.


Added DiffLines:

* SurroundedByIdiots: Zedd's first scene is him bemoaning this.
-->'''Zedd:''' I rule over a dominion of losers. None of you know how to defeat the Power Rangers! I'm disgusted with all of you!

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Bulk and Skull actually help the car thief get away with Kimberly's car much to her dismay. Thankfully, they make up for it by arresting the guy near the end.

* {{Filler}}: Downplayed; while it doesn't do much in terms of advancing the plot, some important points are brought up in favor of the upcoming "A Different Shade of Pink" three-parter. Namely that Kat is a human under Rita's spell, much like Tommy before her, and that Kimberly is excited to meet Gunther Schmidt, a world-famous gymnastics coach.



* TheReveal: Up to now, Katherine's true nature has been sketchy at best. Her ability to transform into a cat plus her seemingly undying loyalty to Rita made her out to be a monster with a human form similar to Scorpina in the past. All of that is discredited immediately seeing her flashback to when she got a Good Samaritan award from a teacher of hers, finally revealing that she is indeed a good-natured human being that was captured and brainwashed.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Oboroguruma was a villain but had sympathetic qualities due to his passengers not treating him with proper respect. Crabby Cabbie is just a stereotypical leafer who actively tries to run people down for his own amusement.

* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: Rita's opinion of her brother's suggestion, although it does give Zedd an idea. (Of course, [[HypocriticalHumor Rita would find the idea]] far less stupid when ''she'' has it in the second season of ''Zeo''.)

* ThrowTheDogABone: In a world that seems to almost enjoy seeing them get the short end of the stick, Bulk and Skull make their first successful arrest with the guy who stole Kim's car.
* TooDumbToLive: The car thief steals Kimberly's car in broad daylight with witnesses passing all around him. If it hadn't been for the populace of Angel Grove being so [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight dense]] along with Bulk and Skull's obliviousness, he probably would've been arrested right there on the spot.
** Not like Bulk and Skull are any better: a guy wearing all black with shades whose acting inconspicuously doesn't set off any alarm bells in their minds. Barely half a second after he drives off, Kimberly comes along and rightfully points out that the guy stole her car.

They already did something heroic in "When is a Ranger Not a Ranger?".


* CharacterDevelopment: Bulk and Skull are actually somewhat competent in this one, doing something heroic and getting it right for perhaps the first time ever when they capture and arrest the car thief and return Kimberly's car to her at the end of the episode.
