In this episode he gets to show off his skills in a big way. It’s no secret that Jason David Frank (Tommy) is the most skilled martial artist of all the cast members.
Whereas the last episode was a lot of setup for the big reveal of Tommy’s return, this time we get a pretty good payoff with a lot of good action. When all is said and done, the parents are released and with no memory of what happened! How convenient. The rangers pull out all the stops…Mega Zord, Dragon Zord, Ultra Zord, you name it…as they take out the giant mole. From there, it’s time for some giant monster action. Luckily, back at the command center, Tommy regains his strength just in time to teleport to their location and save his woman. The others then start to attack the poor pink ranger. Though the rangers do their best to avoid it, all but Kimberly succumb to the strange fog. Now remember, this guy has a strange mind control gas that comes out of his armpits. Now our heroes morph to go battle with the Dramole monster. The other power rangers are now able to use their coins to recharge Zordon.
Eventually, the two baddies run away and the weakened Tommy is zapped back to the command center…but only after he gets back the other power coins. Then there is a battle with the Dragon Zord going against Goldar and Scorpina in their giant forms. Tommy struggles a bit against Goldar and the putties, but after a power boost from Zordon he is able to get the dragon dagger back. Tommy then morphs and teleports to where Goldar is controlling the Dragon Zord (which is making a mess of the city). This does significantly weaken everyone’s favorite floating head, however. But Zordon zaps Tommy with a bunch of his power so he can fight this battle. He lost his powers several episodes back. It is explained that the team needs him to get the other power coins back, but there’s one problem.
Well, right at that moment, Zordon teleports him back to the command center. When we ended last time, Tommy had shown up at the youth center/juice bar to find it empty. Is he the only hope for the good parents of Angel Grove? Let’s find out in Return of an Old Friend part 2. However, they realize that there is one power coin left, the one that had belonged to Tommy. So…when we left Angel Grove, the Power Rangers had been tricked out of their power coins by Goldar and what do they have to show for it? Their parents are still trapped in the dark dimension and there is no way to get them out. Episode Title: Return of an Old Friend part 2
