Episode Guide / Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue / A Matter of Trust
A Matter of Trust
Airdate: 3/11/00
The Rangers are given a new assignment -
to pick up a scientist and his fuel cell at the airport,
and escort him back to the Aquabase. The fuel cell is
very powerful, but also sensitive, and cannot be exposed
to heat.
Dana is given a different mission - to
bring back one of Mitchell's friends to the Aquabase.
Dana resents this assignment, seeing it as nothing more
than a babysitting job. She questions her father's trust
in her.
At the Skull Cavern, they let baby Impus
create the newest monster - Fireor, who will attampt to
steal the fuel cell from the Rangers.
The Rangers arrive at the airport and
take Dr. Hanson, along with a case containing the fuel
cell, away in the Rescue Rover.
Dana has also reached her
"special" assignment, and meets a kindly old
man named Earl, who seems to be ready for a fishing trip.
On their way back, the Rangers are
attacked by Fireor and a team of Batlings. They morph and
fight back to protect their cargo.
As usual, Carter fights the monster,
while the rest of the team fights the Batlings. They need
help, and so Carter calls Dana for backup.
Dana heads towards the battle, but Capt.
Mitchell calls her and orders her to return to the
Aquabase, and not to go help the team.
Fireor breaks through the Rangers'
defenses and snags the case. But when he opens it, it's
empty! He deduces that Pink Ranger must have it, and
takes off.
He creates a circle of fire above the
city, which is drawing on sun's power to roast the
citizens of Mariner Bay, and detonate the heat sensitive
fuel cell.
The Rangers help some heat exhausted
civilians into the shade. As fireballs fly down from the
sky, Chad spots Fireor with his visor scanner.
The Rangers head up to this location, and
engage Fireor in battle. With the team down to four, they
are not doing so well against this new foe.
A stray fireball causes Dana to crash.
She and Earl get out, and Dana disocovers that Earl
actually has the fuel cell. Her faith in her father is
restored.
Unfortunately, Vypra has found her, and
wants the fuel cell. Dana and Earl flee, but Vypra chases
after them, cornering them at the piers.
The two dive into the water, and safely
retreat back to the Aquabase, With the fuel cell safe,
Dana leaves to help the other Rangers.
Everyone gangs up Fireor, and hold him in
the path of a fireball he summoned to destroy the
Rangers, which destroys him instead.
He is brought back as a giant, courtesy
of Jinxer, but is destroyed by the Lightspeed Megazord.
Back at the Aquabase, Dana apologizes to
her father for not believing that he trusted her.
