Wes finds a place for the team to live -
an old clock tower owned by his dad.
Unfortunately, the inside is a dump, and
needs lots of work.
Nadira watching TV gives Ransik the idea
to use television to broadcast his presence to
Silver Hills.
As Wes and Jen leavethe clock tower, they
discover it used to be an odd job shop, and they get a
customer.
They're hired as painters at the
same television station Ransik is using for his
broadcast.
The Cyclobots spot Wes and give him a
little beating before Nadira shows up and shows him her
new manicure.
Ransik hits the airwaves and makes his
intentions of domination very clear to the people of the
city.
When Wes tells Ransik that those are
innocent people out there, Ransik tells him his life
story.
In the future, babies are born of test
tubes and green goop.
Parents choose the characteristics for
their own children.
But when a test tube falls down the
sewer, the goop gives birth to Ransik, the first mutant.
Ransik is shunned by society, and gathers
all other outcasts to form a criminal empire.
The Rangers arrive and free Wes, who was
left to die with a mutant.
Wes morphs and kicks the mutant out of
the building.
The mutant grows intoa giant, and the
Rangers call on the Time Force Megazord.
The monster is defeated and recaptured
with a quick slash of the Time Force Megazord Saber.
The Rangers rejoice at their first pay,
and at their new beginning with "Nick of Time Odd
Jobs"
Wes tells Jen that he is having second
thoughts about Ransik, but Jen assures him that Ransik is
pure evil.
Comments:
I don't think Wes was completely convinced that
Ransik was "pure evil". I don't think I
am either. Ransik obviously has issues, but the
biased Jen only sees him for what he did to her
beloved Alex. Perhaps someday Wes will show
Ransik the compassion he never received in the
future.
The mutants sure get a raw deal in the future.
They are shunned by society, and treated like
outcasts. Of course they are going to turn to a
life of crime. Obviously, intolerance exists even
in the future. I would like to see a group of
good mutants, who fight for a peaceful future
where humans and mutants co-exist. Hmm.. that
sounds familiar..
That was really strange how Ransik emerged fully
grown from the ooze.
I'm willing to bet Katie's super-strength comes
from the genetic manipulation.
