Episode 210 - Transmission Impossible

So, as previously mentioned, Tanya's summer job is working as a DJ on KAGV radio. She's actually fairly good at it, and she has her own show and everything, instead of just doing the usual intern hell where you just bring someone coffee or whatever. Kat comes to visit her at work (and wow, the clothes are really bad this episode) and somehow the radio station picks up a transmission from some alien who wants to contact Dimitria.

Let me get this straight. Angel Grove's radio station can pick up the signal, but Dimitria didn't pick it up? That is... man, I miss Zordon. Let's just leave it at that.

Divatox decides that if this signal is so important to Dimitria, then she's going to capture the guy before Dimitria can hear the message. She's also going to plant a detonator at the radio station. Oh, and the monkeys figure that if they can get on the radio, everyone will hear their explanations and the Rangers will help them turn back into humans.

Kat is all ready to run off to the Power Chamber, but Tanya is stuck at work. I guess missing class was ok, but missing work is not. Adam is also at the Power Chamber, doing the tech stuff, because he's awesome. Dimitria manages to contact the guy (Visceron) who is from her home planet, but unlike her, he doesn't have to phrase everything in the form of a question. I like him better than Dimitria already. He has important news for Dimitria, but he's afraid someone else is listening, so he can't tell her until he gets to Earth. Of course, Divatox promptly kidnaps him by tractor beaming him from warp? Fiiiiiiiiiiiish. And then she decides to break him by having Porto brainwash him with a water gun and make him do the dishes. I wish I was making this up. (I also wish I could brainwash someone to do the dishes.)

Tanya is still at the station, and her Turbo Navigator picks up the detonator, but she can't leave and for some stupid reason she can't contact the Power Chamber. (I refuse to believe that the radio station could block their signal. That is STUPID.) So instead, she just assumes that they're listening to her radio show at the Power Chamber, and dedicates a song to the power rangers called "I need you now" and drops a hint about it being the bomb, and the others figure it out. Oh, and Kat gets to say Shift Into Turbo instead of Adam. I approve.

Adam, Tommy and Justin handle Pirahnatrons while Kat goes to get Tanya, who is just pacing back and forth instead of doing something. Then she puts on a really long song so she can go join the others. And.... she didn't just do that before? Whatever.

Visceron has been turned into a monster, and they fight him, and he eventually ends up with the detonator, which explodes in a small enough space that only he is affected. Then he turns back into Visceron, and all of the Rangers feel really bad. But don't worry, because Dimitria saves him with the power of love.

He wakes up, and tells Dimitria her records have been altered and she has a twin sister. Apparently, power Rangers, REALLY likes the long lost sibling trope. This is the second time we've had it, and it's not going to be the last.

Anyway, Tanya forgot about her job, but don't worry, her job is safe because the manager knows she's a Ranger the manager thinks its really funny that the monkeys were DJing. Bulk and Skull just saved Tanya's job.

Fish: 3.5 SPACE DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT. Also, Tanya is not going to forget her job.
