Episode 238 - Fire In Your Tank

Divatox auditions her monsters! It's so awesome. She puts a group of them through a few tests and determines none of them will suffice. Meanwhile, TJ is testing Lightning Cruiser by flying him around. I'm not sure what he's testing for, but whatever. Divatox sees and determines that's what she wants. And what Divatox wants, she will get.

Mind, she's missing a few steps in her plan. Basically she's at:
1. Want flying car.
2. ???
3. PROFIT!

Bulk and Skull are now park rangers. They should totally stick with the Monster Tours. That would have been way more awesome. And they were good at that!

So some weird flame monster that burps smoke (heartburn? I've got some Tums, dude) goes after Cassie, Ashley, and TJ. He kind of fails at... well... everything except what his intended purpose was. He distracts the rangers. They chase him. Elgar sneaks in and goes after Lightning Cruiser. He starts honking like crazy so the rangers head back but they're too far away. Piranhatrons get in the path and Elgar totally gets LC.

Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull fail at being park rangers because they are sitting below the window, listening to a cd player with their headphones on, and reading comics (which is awesome, but not when you're supposed to be monitoring the forest). In other words, NOT watching Elgar steal the car.

Carlos and Justin head over and get between Elgar and the cars. It's taking Elgar a REALLY LONG time to steal those cars. They aren't even moving, just making a lot of noise. Elgar runs away before he can get the cars. They do manage to steal the booster fuel instead. It's what makes the cars fly apparently. I didn't know they needed fuel, not anything in particular to make them fly. But okay.

DIVATOX HAS AN AMAZING CAR. I would totally drive that car. It's the best part of this episode. And now it flies because she has the booster fuel. Fail Heartburn Monster gets some and puts it in a motorcycle he somehow acquired while running through the woods. It makes him go super fast and set fire to some grass, although it uses up all the fuel in one short burst. So he drinks the fuel instead. He ought to be dead, but instead he's just fast and flamey.

He sets Angel Grove forest on fire. There are zords. Why didn't they call the ACTUAL fire fighters? I have no idea. They kind of fail. This feels like yet another randomly thrown together "plot". TJ takes Lightning Cruiser to go rescue Bulk and Skull, who have not noticed the fire, and stumbles across Divatox and her awesome flying car. She's just out for a joyride, but TJ keeps getting in her way. Then she runs out of fuel and crashes and instead of being mad she's out of fuel, she sends the monster in to destroy the rangers.

Bulk and Skull finally notice the fire, just in time for TJ to show up and get them to jump into the car. TJ must drop them off somewhere because next thing we know he's standing in some sandy area fighting the Fail Heartburn Monster with the other rangers. There is a zord battle and I'm left wondering when and how the fire in Angel Grove Forest got put out? Because they didn't really do it and for some reason put the zords away before putting out the fire, because they had to call them back to fight the monster. Whatever. Fish must have come in and put the fire out.

Porto has come up with an evil version of the booster fuel so Divatox's car can fly and he can make a continuous supply for her. Except Elgar mixed it and she refuses to get in the car, making him drive (and crash) it instead. She is clearly the smartest. Porto promises to mix it himself next time.

5 fish. They were all over this episode.
