Maya is shocked to come across her best
friend from Mirinoi, Shondra. She explains to Maya how
she escaped Mirinoi by entering a rift in space which led
her to Terra Venture.
Maya gives her friend a tour of the
place, and introduces her to Kendrix, who decides to host
a special dinner for her that night. Shondra suspiciously
eyes the Galaxy book.
Gratuitous Shondra shot.
Gratutitous Maya shot.
Shondra and Maya waste time hanging
around, literally, and remembering old times on Mirinoi.
Meanwhile, poor Kendrix sulks, because
they never made it to the dinner she prepared.
Later that night, Shondra sneaks away,
but she is spotted by Kendrix, who pretends to still be
asleep.
She meets up with Trakeena, and is
revealed to be Rykon, who is out to steal the Galaxy
book.
Rykon sneaks into the GSA, and shows her
true form. As she tries to grab the book, the alarm goes
off, and she flees, but not before getting shot in the
leg by a security guard.
Rykon turns back into Shondra, and sneaks
back into the quarters. Kendrix still has her eye on her,
and notices her limping into bed.
The next morning, Kendrix tells Maya that
someone tried to steal the Galaxy book, and Shondra is
her top suspect. Maya is offended by this, and leaves.
Maya follows Shondra to the GSA, and
finds her fleeing the scene of a heist, with the Galaxy
book in hand! A major cat fight quickly ensues.
Rykon transforms, and so does Maya, then
the real fight begins.
The rest of the team shows up, and take
Rykon down with the Lights.
Rykon grows into a giant, and the Rangers
call on the Galaxy Megazord.
When that isn't enough, they bring out
the Stratoforce Megazord.
A good solid slash with the powered up
Galaxy Megazord saber finishes off Rykon.
Maya sits in a tree, thinking about the
real Shondra. Kendrix appears, and the two friends make
up.
Comments:
Although I appreciate Maya's outfit as much as
the next guy, I can't help but wonder why they
don't get her into some real clothes already.
Two forced appearances - Magna Defender and
Centaurus.
Doesn't Shondra look like Shannon Elizabeth of American
Pie?
If Kai and Kendrix's meal really looks like
Mirinoid (Mirinite?) home cooking, then I've
gotta give those savages some credit.
Maya saving a cat from a tree - there's your
lightspeed rescue!
I half expected a replay of the "men going
gaga" scene from Stolen Beauty as
Shondra walked down the streets of Terra Venture.
On an unrelated subject, Archie Kao made a brief
appearance on tonight's episode of ABC's Once
and Again.
