Kimberly and Skull compete on a game show in hopes of winning a new car, but there's more tricks to worry about than just the questions when Rita's Pumpkin Rapper puts the Power Rangers on the ropes.
Tropes
- Actually Pretty Funny: The game show host enjoys Skull's torment.Host: Now we're having fun!
- Big "NO!": Bulk screams this multiple times at Kimberly while everyone in the audience shouts "Go! Go! Go...".
- Cheaters Never Prosper: Bulk tries to cheat by mouthing an answer to Skull, which unknown to him, is caught on a camera.
- Fanservice: Trini's costume.
- Foreshadowing: Skull's Hidden Depths are hinted at with his costume being implied to be of Jean Valjean, showing that he has a cultural side, a trait that later comes up in Zeo.
- Halloween Episode: Technically, Halloween is not mentioned, but the episode has the general theme.
- Ironic Echo: Doubles as a Title Drop, Kimberly says "Trick or treat, guys" to Bulk and Skull twice. First after finding out Skull is her contestant, which is her way of saying "game on, guys". At the end she says it again after the car Skull wins by default (when Kimberly had to fake sick when Zordon contacted the Rangers) was taken back by the Standards & Practice Representative who noticed Bulk & Skull were cheating; then as she was driving away, the car door caught Bulk's costume spinning him around until he and Skull fell down.Tommy: I guess you win some, you lose some.
Kimberly: Trick or treat, guys! - Face Hugger: Even before the Pumpkin Rapper is fully grown, the pumpkins are dangerous for this reason.
- Last-Second Word Swap: "What... is... my... best friend's... scam— name!"
- Oh, Crap!: Kimberly, when she discovers Skull is her opponent for Trick or Treat.Kimberly: No... way!
- Playing Sick: Kimberly pretends to be too dizzy from the game show wheel to continue playing, so that she and the other Rangers can leave to deal with Pumpkin Rapper.
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Tommy to Pumpkin Rapper before throwing him to the Rangers’ Power Blaster.Tommy: Hasta la pumpkin, squash brain!
- Pumpkin Person: Pumpkin Rapper, and the pumpkin-headed Putties.
- Rhymes on a Dime: The Pumpkin Rapper's schtick.
- Shout-Out: Skull's Halloween costume is a convicted felon, appropriately enough. His number is 24601.
