Episode 236- Beware the Third Wish

The Rangers are at a wishing well. Ashley wishes for world peace. She won't tell TJ what it is, lest it doesn't true. Justin is about to toss in a special coin his dad gave him when he left (and omg Justin was so tiny when his dad left, what the hell dude? Get an apartment and bring your kid with you, don't leave him for YEARS and YEARS). Justin wishes for his dad to come back. POOR KID. YOU HAVE THE WORST FATHER IN ALL THE PR HISTORY (up to this point, anyway).

Rygog and a monster are at the wishing well, too. The monster fishes Justin's coin out of the well (okay, it's really more of a fountain) and decides to give it to Divatox. There is lots of unmorphed fighting! I approve of this. Unfortunately Blue Senturian comes in to "save the day" and tells them taking from the wishing well is an infraction of the law. The monsters get away and Justin is all upset his special coin is gone.

The monster turns the three coins he stole into wishing coins. Divatox is upset she only gets three wishes and demands more, so the monster (who is apparently yet another purse monster) cowers in fear. Elgar takes one of Divatox's wishes and wishes for a full head of hair. He ends up with long flowing grey locks. Divatox takes a wish and decides she wants Blue Senturian to be evil. He was helping a guy pump up his bike tire and then suddenly goes on a rampage and tears apart the bike instead. So... him being evil just means he destroys stuff? Okay...

TJ goes to get all the coins from the wishing well before the purse monster thing does. They want to stop him from making the coins into more wishes for Divatox. The only thing is, the monster can't seem to turn the coins into more wishes. He determines this by trying to wish for stuff. I'm not sure how that works. TJ stops him though! Because TJ is awesome, despite the really bad splicing of US footage and Sentai footage.

Blue Senturian comes to help TJ fight, but he's evil now and ends up attacking TJ instead. Poor TJ is so confused. He tries to convince him that he's a good guy, but BS isn't buying it. It's not like he hasn't been evil before, TJ! This is becoming a rather disturbing habit of BS. I mostly just like calling him BS...

The monster brings a whole purse full of coins to Divatox, except they aren't wishing coins and all Divatox can do with them is buy something... something really cheap. Divatox is all upset she only has one wish left and starts to wish for the Power Rangers to always be... when Elgar bumps her and she drops the coin. So she just wished for the Power Rangers to be forever! That's kind of awesome. She throws Elgar off the balcony and apparently they can all breathe in space.

Bulk and Skull are trying to be plumbers and failing miserably at it, BECAUSE THEY'VE HAD NO TRAINING. The wishing coin comes down the pipe and they manage to snag it, not knowing what it is.

Justin has a sad because he wants his dad to come home. Carlos is the best big brother figure ever because he gets Justin to talk about his sad and offers a sympathetic ear instead of just trying to be a replacement dad. Good job, Carlos! I love him so much.

The purse monster and BS are down on Earth trying to find the wishing coin, which just happens to be Justin's dad's coin. BS wants to fight the rangers on his own, mostly because he wants to destroy them himself. They start to freak out, but Carlos is so sure they'll win. After all, there are five of them versus his one! Blue Senturian is WAY better when he's evil. He has no qualms about hurting them. They kind of fail at hurting him.

The purse monster and BS flirt a bit while attacking the rangers, which gives them a chance to actually fight back. The purse monster is destroyed and Divatox has to make him grow. At some point, Elgar lost his hair. Probably when he fell from space. He brings BS back to the spaceship to see Divatox while the purse monster is left to fight the Village People Megazord. The only thing that would have made that fight interesting if it were an ACTUAL Village People Megazord and did the YMCA for me.

Divatox demands her wishing coin back, but nobody can find it. They bring in another monster to find it. Meanwhile, the rangers have scanning devices and try to find it themselves. Bulk and Skull still have the coin. They try to use it to play pinball. God I miss arcades (yes, I am old). And we get a To Be Continued screen.

Wait. THAT is our cliffhanger?!?!?!?! Really? Geez, this series really fails at cliffhangers.

4.5 fish. OH GOD IS IT OVER YET?!?!?!
