Go To

While trying to make adjustments to a new zord configuration, Dr. K reflects on her troubled past, which resulted in her inadvertently making the biggest mistake of her life.


Tropes

  • Batman Gambit: Dr. K does one. The rangers need another Flux Overthruster to combine the High Octane and ValveMax Megazords. The problem is they don't know how to make one. Dr. K brings a cloning device from the ReflexBot that attacked earlier into the laboratory predicting Tenaya would be inside and would by accident clone the Flux Overthruster just in time to save the Rangers by letting them make the Zenith Megazord. And she had her violin connected to giant fans to blow Tenaya out of the base.
  • Call-Back: A flashback has Dr. K saying word-for-word part of her introduction to "The Road to Corinth" as she prepares to leave Alphabet Soup—now under attack by Venjix.
  • Create Your Own Villain: This episode reveals that it was Dr. K herself who invented Venjix and released it onto the world though she only intended to spread it to Alphabet Soup's systems, and it was their interference that lead to the virus infected the rest of the worlds mainframe.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Dr. K "just wanted... to go outside...", and in attempting to do so, she caused the apocalypse.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The Rangers needed another energy-thingie, but there was only one ever built, and they can't build another one. Then, an attack bot that can make a duplicate of any object comes along, so Dr. K manages to manipulate events to get one in the base and get the enemy to accidentally make a copy of said energy-thingie. The villain even questions if she actually planned it all this way. * Cue violin attack*
  • Tragic Dream: Dr. K wanted to go outside with her two best friends Gem and Gemma, but because she was stopped before she could install a firewall, Venjix was unleashed to the world. By the time she was able to escape from Alphabet Soup, the world had been ravaged by Venjix and Gem and Gemma were, seemingly, dead.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Alphabet Soup. By not letting Dr. K install a firewall to keep Venjix from spreading throughout the world, they unintentionally caused the events of this season.
  • Wham Episode: Dr. K's horrific past at Alphabet Soup is revealed, and it turns out that she was the one who created Venjix making her indirectly responsible for the Apocalypse.
