Truth Revealed
Airdate: 04/29/00
Captain Mitchell tells the Rangers the
story of how his son was lost in a car accident. On a
rainy night, as he is driving Dana and Ryan home, an
oncoming truck causes him to veer off the road. The car
falls off a cliff, but Captain Mitchell jumps out with
the kids, and hangs on to a root.
As Ryan hangs on his dad's shoe,
Diabolico appears and offers to save him in return for
keeping him. Ryan slips and falls. As he plummets, his
father accepts the deal, and Diabolico rescues him. He
takes Ryan with him, and tells Captain Mitchell that he
won't see him until his 20th birthday.
The Rangers race to a viewscreen when the
alarms sound - Titanium Ranger has returned! The look for
the Captain, but he is nowhere to be found.
As the Rangers discuss their next course
of action, Dana sneaks off in the Rescue Rover, to try
and take care of matters alone.
Ryan conitnues his rampage through the
city. He takes aim at a civilian and prepares to fire..
But Dana steps in and deflects the blast.
She begs for Ryan to stop, but he just wants to fight.
The siblings begin their battle, and Dana
is overtaken by her brother's Titanium powers.
Just as Dana is about to get it, the
Rangers arrive to help. The Titanium Ranger flees.
They try to follow Ryan, but a monster
appears. The rest of the team morphs, and begins fighting
the monster.
The Rangers summon the Rescuebird,
configure it to Unilaser mode, and blast the monster into
pieces.
Jinxer brings the monster back with one
of his cards, and this time powers him up as well.
The Rangers call the Rail Rescues, and
destroy the monster with the Supertrain Megazord.
Captain Mitchell finds his son sulking by
the cliff where the accident took place. He tries
explaining everything to him, but Ryan tackles him, and
they both fall off the cliff.
Just like before, Captain Mitchell hangs
on to the root, as Ryan hangs on to him. Ryan has a
flashback, and remembers everything. Knowing the truth
behind the incident, he pulls himself up.
The root is giving way, so Captain
Mitchell lets go and drops to save Ryan. Ryan dives after
him, morphs, and catches him.
Ryan takes the brunt of the impact as
they hit the ground, and Captain Mitchell is saved. Ryan
demorphs, but he is uninjured.
Ashamed at all that he has done, Ryan
straps off his morpher, drops it to the ground, and walks
away.
He then tells Diabolico where he can
stick his staff, and leaves the Skull Cavern, turning
away a life of evil.
Comments:
How was Diabolico able to appear to save Ryan, if
he had just recently been released from the
underground tomb?
In the last scene, when Ryan walked out of the
Skull Cavern, he still had his morpher on, even
though he had just given it up in the previous
scene.
I love that eye squinting thing Dana does. She
did it really great in this ep, in the scene
where she was taking the Rover to stop her
brother.
I was surprised to see that the monster was the
same size as the Supertrain Megazord, which was
previously shown to be much larger than ordinary
monsters. I assume the monster interacted with
the Supertrian Megazord only, and not with the
Lightspeed Megazord also in order to keep the
sizes consistent.
