Emperor Grumm initiates his latest plan to finally conquer the world. Meanwhile, Cruger and the B-Squad meet up with the A-Squad again... except something's not entirely right about them. As a result, Jack and his team must give it all they've got to find out what happened and the truth behind the A-Squad's suspiciousness.
Tropes
- Crazy-Prepared: Kat's secret underground base, where the SWAT Megazord is hidden.
- Curb-Stomp Battle:
- During the first round of the Megazord fight, A-Squad delivers one to the B-Squad, destroying the Delta Max Megazord. Come round two, B-Squad returns the favor with the SWAT Megazord.
- Later, B-Squad delivers one to Broodwing and his generals.
- Darkest Hour: Broodwing and his army taking over Delta Base.
- Death Glare: While the rest of the A-Squad futilely bang in their prisons, Charlie gives B-Squad one.
- Designated Girl Fight: Subverted, since both Pink Rangers are female. Jack (B-Squad Red) and Z (B-Squad Yellow) fight their A-Squad counterparts of the same color, instead of the same gender (i.e. Red Ranger Jack vs. the male A-Squad Yellow Ranger, and Yellow Z vs. Red Charlie).
- Face–Heel Turn: A-Squad turned traitor to the S.P.D., deeming Emperor Grumm's empire to be stronger.
- I Fight for the Strongest Side!: The reason for the A-Squad's Face–Heel Turn.
- The Paragon Always Rebels: The entire A-Squad when they do their Face–Heel Turn and become the season's Psycho Rangers.
- Psycho Rangers: A-Squad are revealed as the first rangers to willingly serve the Big Bad.
- This Cannot Be!: The A-Squad reaction to being defeated by the "loser" B-Squad, and Broodwing's reaction to being confined by the Rangers.
