Episode Guide / Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue / A Face From the Past
A Face From the Past
Airdate: 08/26/00
Captain Mitchell surprises the Rangers by
giving them the day off. They head for the beach for some
fun in the sun.
Carter opts to train as usual, and he is
joined by Captain Mitchell, who does a little sparring
with him.
The bad guys send down the Shockatron
monster, who attacks one of Mariner Bay's power plants,
trapping several people within.
Carter and Mitchell, who were nearby,
both suit up and get ready to save some lives in the
burning factory.
The other Rangers join the scene. They
find out that Shockatron has moved on to another power
plant. They head off for the plant, and Mitchell stays
behind to help fight the fire.
The Rangers race to the second plant on
their Lightspeed Cycles. Some Batlings try to stop them
by setting up a roadblock, but the Rangers blast it open
with a few shots.
They make it to the second plant in time
to square off against Shockatron, and they blow him to
itty bitty pieces with the V-Lancers.
Back at the first plant, they find out
that Captain Mitchell has entered the burning building
alone to rescue a little girl. Carter goes in after him.
Captain Mitchell finds the little girl
and takes her away. When a pipe begins to collapse,
he valiantly holds it up to allow the girl safe passage.
Carter arrives, and takes the girl, as
Mitchell struggles with the pipe. As he urges him to flee
to safety, Carter has feeling of deja vu.
The pipe gets the best of him, and
Captain Mitchell gets batted around a bit, and finally
gets trapped behind some fallen debris.
After delivering the girl to safety, the
section of the building just evacuated blows up. The
Rangers rush back to look for any signs of Mitchell.
The resourceful Captain makes it out
alive by climbing down a fire hose from the roof of the
building.
In a surprising turn of events,
Shockatron has returned, supercharged!
The Rangers make short work of him with
the Lightspeed Megazord.
The demons discuss a rare planetary
alignment which will allow them to bring back their
beloved Queen Bansheera.
Carter has a chat with Mitchell, and
finds out that he was the firefighter who had saved him
as a child.
He then joins his teammates for a little
relaxation. As Mitchell told him, he trains hard enough.
Comments:
Mitchell's challenge to Carter when they sparred
was great, it reminded me of The Rock's
"just bring it" gesture.
Olympius continues getting lip from his supposed
subjects. First he has to take Vypra's criticism,
and now, Loki's supposed master plan. I bet when
Queen Bansheera returns, mommy's boy will assert
his authority a little more.
I knew there was no way Mitchell was going to
beat Carter racing.
Wow, that planetary alignment really is rare -
you can see them all with the naked eye!
Why am I not surprised to see Joel wearing a wife
beater?
