Episode Guide / Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue / The Queen's Return
The Queen's Return Airdate: 09/02/00
With the planets aligned, the monster
named Spellbinder begins the ritual to bring back Queen
Bansheera.
The ceremony creates a dark cloud over
Mariner Bay, which the Rangers all notice.
They head back to headquarters, where
Ryan tells them what the demons are planning.
The cloud sends out energy bolts which
cause mass destruction in the city, endangering
civilians.
The Rangers deploy the Rail Rescues, and
put out several fires with the Rescue Zords.
Carter and Kelsey help the local
firefighters evacuate a burning building.
Ryan has pinpointed the location of the
ceremony, and sneaks in to see what is happening.
Vypra discovers him, and after she roughs
him up a little, he is captured by the Batlings.
The ceremony continues, and creates a
beam of energy that extends to the sky.
The Rangers rush to the source of the
energy, and storm into the ceremony.
Blue and Yellow chase Loki outside, while
Pink and Green hold off Vypra.
Carter battles the Batlings, and frees
Ryan from their grasp.
Ryan morphs, and he and Carter take out
the Spellbinder.
Spellbinder revives himself, and grows
into a giant.
The Rangers call on the Lightspeed
Megazord and the Solarzord, but Spellbinder is too tough.
The Rangers form the Lightspeed
Solarzord, but the Queen begins her return to our
physical plane.
Finally! The Queen has come back to
Mariner Bay! She immediately whips up a tidal wave which
threatens the Aquabase and Mariner Bay.
Things look bad, but Ryan has an idea.
With the power source unprotected, he goes down and
destroys it, cutting off the energy beam.
Ryan's move has cleared the tidal wave,
and weakened Spellbinder. The Rangers take the chance and
destroy him with the Lightspeed Solarzord.
Olympius returns from being sent to his
room by Loki, and he is really upset over the failure. He
finally asserts himself and puts Loki in his place.
Queen Bansheera appears, but in a
horribly disfigured body - a result of the Rangers
interrupting the ceremony. Olympius swears vengeance for
mommy's condition!
Ryan knows that now more than ever do the
Rangers need a way of putting the demons away for good,
so he leaves the Rangers to find out how the demons were
imprisoned.
Comments:
Whew, a lot of stuff happened in this ep - it
needed a whole 22 pics to explain it all!
Bummer, it looks like Ryan will be out of the
picture for a while, similar to Zhane's departure
in Zhane's Destiny.
It's about time Olympius took control of these
clowns. That jerk Loki treated him like a child,
but now he'd better learn to bow down to
Olympius.
When Ryan took out the energy source, it was
reminiscent of Kendrix's death in The Power
of Pink.
I couldn't believe Joel liked that country music.
I could have sworn he was going to play some hard
core rap or something.
Now why doesn't the Rescue Rover have a car
radio? How can you fight bad guys without
listening to some tunes on the way? Exactly what
was Ms. Fairweather thinking?
What the heck was Chad doing on the floor when
they cut to him and Kelsey? Not such a good
rollerblader huh Chad?
The scene when Spellbinder was chanting and doing
all that hocus pocus was kind of spooky and
disturbing!
