Line #24 Recap/PowerRangersDinoChargeBreakingBlack


1	Chase is constantly being inattentive and unfocused, not paying attention to the quality of the food he is sending, not cleaning floors correctly, and walking off shift to chat up a girl in the cafe. While he is being chewed out for his negligence, an old friend names Moana asks him to watch her shop for her, as she has had a vision that it will be robbed that day. He agrees to help, despite everyone else saying how bad a job he will do, and heads to the store. Needless to say, it does indeed get robbed - by one of Sledge's minions, 'Spellbinder'.
2
3	Spellbinder uses the item he stole, an evil amulet, to try to manipulate Chase's mind. While the spell does work, he is momentarily able to break it by focusing hard while he's skateboarding. It returns just as he is trying to deliver the final blow, allowing Spellbinder to escape.
4
5	Because Spellbinder's cape was able to reflect almost all of the ranger's attacks, Kendall has created the Dino Spike Charger, which allows the rangers to combine their weapons to form the [[{{BFS}} Dino Spike Sword]]. However, all five must be in sync, if Chase can't focus, then they can't use it. The others head to Moana's shop to get more information, and the she reveals she gave Chase the Black Energem after he showed his bravery. They also realize that Chase focuses best when on his skateboard.

7	The rangers confront Spellbinder again, but get tossed around by him. Spellbinder hits the men with the amulets ray, and orders a now-turned Chase to finish off Shelby. Thinking quickly, Shelby pushes a wheeled palette towards Chase, letting it act as a skateboard and allowing Chase to break free of the spell. They morph and beat the monster with the Dino Spike, but Sledge makes him grow. In turn, the rangers form the Para-Raptor Formation to take him down.
8
9	After, Chase is told by Koda it is his turn to clean the museum floor. While he rides off on his skateboard, mop in hand, Shelby realizes it was ''Koda's'' turn to clean the floor. Koda remarks "Maybe he should pay attention to schedule too..."

12	!!Tropes used in this episode:
13	* BabyCarriage: Runaway baby carriages are something of a tradition. In his origin flashback, when Chase risks life and limb to catch this one, it turns out that it contains Moana's cat. However, for his courage, Moana gives him the Parasaur energem.
14	* {{BFS}}: Instead of the combined weapon being a {{BFG}}, the Dino Spike Charger combines the weapons into a large blade that is thrown like a spear.
15	* {{Brainwashed}}: The ability of the MonsterOfTheWeek. It can be resisted for a time, if the afflicted individual can focus on a single objective.
16	* BystanderSyndrome: Everyone but Chase ignores the unattended baby carriage rolling down the street--it actually ''bumps into'' one woman and she just moves away.
17	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Those under Spellbinder's control have glowing gold eyes.
18	* HumanPopsicle: Koda confirms he was found in a glacier, so he has pretty much been this for the last 100,000 years.
19	* LeParkour: Chase does a bit of it in this one, combined with awesome skating skills.
20	* MythologyGag: Just like the Megazord this year uses [[Series/PowerRangersJungleFury three zords per formation]], the origins episodes are reminiscent of [[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM's backstories]].
21	* PoliceAreUseless: When Chase questions why Moana doesn't just tell the police about the potential (read: inevitable) break-in, she off-handedly says the Police just thinks she's "crazy" and so would never believe her. Considering the thief in question, regular Law Enforcement would really ''have'' [[JustifiedTrope been useless]].
22	* SamuraiCowboy: The Para-Raptor uses a gun from the Parasaur's tail, and a blade from the Raptor's.
23	* SecretKeeper: Moana the fortune teller knows about the Energems, and by extension the identities of the Dino Charge rangers.
24	* VerbThis: "Command this." Said by Chase as he shoots the MOTW.
