Deviot returns to lead his forces once again, but is badly wounded, giving Trakeena an opportunity to make a power play and attempt to destroy everyone in Terra Venture no matter the cost.
Tropes
- Asshole Victim: After all his actions, particularly when he stole and brainwashed the Centaurus and Stratoforce Megazords and when he sent Scorpius to his doom, no one is mourning Deviot when Trakeena kills him in the cocoon and absorbs his powers.
- Black Dude Dies First: Parodied when Damon is picked as decoy and complains about it. Doubles as a Call-Back to Race to the Rescue.Damon: Why am I always the decoy?
- Call-Back: Trakeena orders her minions to destroy Deviot "before I get a headache."
- Chekhov's Gun: The cocoon that Scorpius made for Trakeena finally gets used.
- Darker and Edgier: Trakeena turns the Stingwingers into suicide bombers!
- Never Say "Die": Averted, almost as if to be a Precision F-Strike, in children's-TV-show-terms; when confronted on whether or not leaving Terra Venture is the right choice, Commander Stanton gives this:Cmdr. Stanton: This ship is dying. I don't want us to die with it!
- One-Winged Angel: Trakeena was already evil, but being merged with Deviot in the Cocoon has made her worse.
- Only Sane Man: Villamax tries to dissuade Trakeena from her plan of strapping bombs to the Stingwingers, telling her that they can beat the Rangers without destroying their entire army. However being corrupted by Deviot has made Trakeena lose her previous sanity and now she no longer cares about her losses as long as she wins.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: "Welcome back, Terra Venture."
- Shout-Out: Terra Venture's crash bears more than a little resemblance to the crash of the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: Generations.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Trakeena demonstrates that when Power Rangers villains stop with the usual schemes and instead make use of their raw power, mass destruction ensues beyond the token Conveniently Empty Building.
- Trash the Set: When Terra Venture crash-lands on the new planet's moon.
- Welcome Back, Traitor: Trakeena has this reception for Deviot when he returns.
