Oh hey, there are actually consequences to the whole Brain Drain thing. Unfortunately, the consequences do not involve Tommy getting telepathy and making out with Adam but I'll take what I can get.
What we actually get is the Groundhog Day episode. Personally, I think that Xena did it best.
Day 1
The first day opens with some kid named Steven rollerblading down the hallway, while the Worst Guidance Counselor Ever chases after him. He knocks into Tommy and Kat, who joke about the school needing a stop sign. Then they stop by Kat's locker, where Jason asks them if they're worried about the test, and then tells them they should stop by the Juice Bar after school to meet Adam and Tanya and try Emily's new shaved ice. Then some poor kid's locker breaks and his books fall onto the floor.
Tommy, Jason, Kat and Rocky go and take some final exam. Rocky has forgotten his pencil, and Ms. Appleby is there, which is pretty great. We're gearing up for graduation, apparently!
After the test is over, Adam and Tanya are being really cute in the youth center when the other Rangers show up. Bulk and Skull order some drinks and talk loudly about being undercover, and then Bulk ends up covered in soda.
Meanwhile, both Gasket and Sprocket have plans to prove that they are the best. DUN DUN DUN.
Day 2
Steven is skating through the halls again, and Tommy is starting to get a feeling of deja vu. Then he starts responding to Jason before Jason actually says anything. Yet nobody thinks to call Zordon. Nobody even wonders if this is a side effect from the brain drain.
In the park, they get attacked by Cogs, which is new and when they finally get to the Youth Center Adam clearly thinks Tommy is crazy. Tommy tries to explain that All of this has happened before and shall happen again but nobody listens to him. Nobody even suggests talking to Zordon.
Day 3
We get the same ridiculous scene at the school again, and this time at the park Tommy stops everyone and shows that there are Cogs waiting for them around the next hill. Since they have clearly discovered that Tommy is psychic, everyone teleports to the Power Chamber, where they have Alpha scan Tommy's brainwaves for irregularities, which QR says is like scanning for alien activity in the vicinity of London on Christmas Day.
Now that they've scanned Tommy, everyone is able to figure out that they're stuck in a time loop created by the Machine Empire so that they could move in an invasion fleet. Maybe the time loop will also explain Tommy's eventual doctorate. They locate the crystal thing that is looping time, and everyone goes down to destroy it. Tommy manages to smash it, and there's a fight, and zords are called, and we spend half of the fight talking about Jason/Rocky instead.
The next day, there's still a feeling of deja vu as Adam and Tanya are still being ridiculously cute, but Bulk and Skull both get covered with soda. Oh, show. I don't even know what to say about you.
Fish: 3. One for each day.
Covered in: Bulk and Skull, are you really making us bring back this category? Booo.
