Jason welcomes him back and places the Green Power Coin in his hand, and Tommy is understandably confused. There’s no good way to show his face softening in still images… …but trust me, it’s SO sweet. His face at seeing the other Rangers is PRICELESS. Meanwhile, Tommy beams directly into the Command Center. Finster promises to make a mighty monster to lead the charge against Earth. Goldar assures her that it’s impossible for him to return, and she’s comforted by this. On her moon base, Rita gets wind of what’s going on and is horrified by the implications of Tommy coming back into the fray. Luckily, Alpha has no semblance of consent and just teleports Tommy straightaway. Zordon tells Alpha to call Tommy to the Command Center, which might be tricky given he likely no longer wears his communicator. We then weirdly get another shot of Alpha showing the kids their parents on the Viewing Globe, acting like it’s the first time he’s done so. We begin with Kimberly reasonably asking what good Tommy’s Power Coin will do, given he doesn’t have his powers anymore. Plus, while the storyline with Kimberly’s parents was unexpected, it certainly heightens the drama of the situation. In addition to my obvious excitement about Tommy coming back, I have to credit the writers with just how they did it - holding off his reveal until the end of the episode, and taking the time to actually set up the dire situation first. The episode itself is above caliber for MMPR and therein one of the best PR episodes.In case I haven’t made it clear yet: I am loving this two-parter so far. Everything that happens on the planet is worth watching. most people will recognize Edenoi as Eden-oi.

I swear the first time I saw this, that had me hooked, spooked and curious all in one. eventually a truce is called and the ep ends with Dragon vowing to destroy them. These people literally don't Know who they are talking to.Dex says flat out that he believes no-one and I'm thinking 'therein lieing the problem'. It's refreshing to meet people who see our heroes with fresh eyes. Danger doesn't just come from the trip though, it comes from lack of trust. These people are under enslavement by Count Dragon (who Zedd 'hates more than I(he) hate the power rangers')and because it affects Alpha so much, the rangers decide to risk the danger and investigate. Half of it takes place on the planet Edenoi where Alpha was created.

When something is held in one's memory that long it tends to get embellished I was very glad when I saw this episode and it was everything I remembered. It is mostly due to what I remembered of this episode that I risked feeling like an idiot and downloaded various power rangers episodes from my childhood. This episode has stuck so long in my memory as the best episode in MMPR (save perhaps white light).
