Recap / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S2E42 The Wedding Part 2

Go To

Preparations for the wedding of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd continues right on schedule, though Goldar is a little suspicious. The Power Rangers are still stuck in the abandoned theatre, outnumbered by a horde of revived monsters. Even if they manage to escape, how far can they get with the now-evil Alpha 5 in control of the Command Center?

Tropes

  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: When Rita sees that the love potion worked, she looks at the camera and announces this to the viewers.
  • Ghost Town: The abandoned city.
  • Ignored Expert: Goldar immediately knows that Rita's return can't be good news. Unfortunately for him, Zedd is too infatuated with Rita to listen to him, Finster wants Rita back so that he won't feel so useless anymore, Squatt and Baboo are too stupid to pay Goldar any attention, and Scorpina has long since fallen victim to Chuck Cunningham Syndrome.
  • Internal Reveal: The Rangers learn from the monsters that Rita is back and that she and Zedd are getting married. Their reactions are surprisingly understated like the last time Rita came back.
  • Like a Son to Me: A joyous Zedd sees the monsters as his children.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Like with the "White Light" two-parter, the rangers don't seem too shocked that Rita has returned. Furthermore, it is Aisha, one of the rookies, that states it in an unsurprised tone of voice, despite the fact that no one had ever mentioned Rita to her or the other newbies before this episode. It's also extremely doubtful that Zordon or the veterans mentioned Rita off-screen considering they didn't bother to explain about Scorpina until they were settled in as the new rangers the episode immediately after they replaced their predecessors. Heck, even Zordon doesn't react that much when Tommy tells him about Rita's return in Part III.
    • It is possible that Rocky, Adam, and Aisha heard about her from the news before and Zordon already figured this out. It may also be that Rita was discussed off-screen at some point, considering that she was the Rangers' major adversary for a year whereas Scorpina was basically just a skilled henchwoman that even the original team hadn't seen for months before the new three joined the line-up.
  • The Savage South: The now-evil Alpha 5 teleports Bulk and Skull to the Outback, just for kicks.
