"Kick Into Overdrive Part II"

**Note:  Please Do NOT Use The Following Images Without My Permission**

The Rangers, now back in civilian form, try to decide what to do.  Hartford instructs them to save the city, since the crown Moltor has is a fake.   The Red and Black Rangers go into the city.  The Black Ranger saves a woman who fell while running from the lava.
The Red Ranger rescues a woman and her baby, who were trapped in a car. The Blue, Yellow and Pink Rangers find the source of the Lava Flow and use their Drive Weapons to stop it.
As the lave corners a group of people, the Red Ranger instructs the Black Ranger to use his Drive Slammer to slam the ground, thus having the lava return into the Earth. Back at their Command Center, the Rangers celebrate their victory.  Though celebration time for Mack is short, as Mr. Hartford takes the Overdrive Tracker back from him.
Andrew places the Overdrive Tracker in the safe, and pulls out the real Crown.  But Moltor shows up to take it and Mr. Hartford. The four Rangers are still down in the Command Center going over all the systems their base has to offer.
Mack sits outside confused as to why his father won't let him be a Ranger.  Spencer sits down and explains that Mr. Hartford cares for his son deeply, and only wants to make sure that he doesn't lose him. When Mack goes back in to talk to his father, he finds the office ransacked and his father gone.
The two evil brothers meet on the beach, with Andrew Hartford prisoner.  Flurious tells Moltor to use Hartford to find the five Jewels of the Crown, and then leaves. Rose starts a search pattern using the Command Center's computers.  With Mr. Hartford wearing his locator watch, it should be easy to find him.
While the Rangers start the search, Mack expresses how he wished he had the Red Ranger's Tracker.  Spencer then explains how it's locked in Mr. Hartford's safe, that is impossible to break into. So the master spy gets to work, using his Spy Tools.
The computers are able to locate Mr. Hartford on Rotuma Island.  The only problem now is how to get there. Spencer then suggests that they take the Super Hydro Aero Recon Craft, or S.H.A.R.C.
Will shows back up, with the Red Ranger's Overdrive Tracker, and hands it back to Mack. The Rangers jet off for Rotuma Island with Ronny driving the S.H.A.R.C.
The Rangers arrive on the island, only to find a Lava Lizard welcoming party.  While the others battle the Lava Lizards, Dax heads for the cave where Mr. Hartford is being held.
Since Mr. Hartford refused to help Moltor, he was thrown into the lava pit. Dax swings in just in time to save Mr. Hartford and fight off the Lava Lizards.
Dax gets himself and Mr. Hartford back to the others.  The Rangers regroup, Morph, and get ready to fight Moltor and his forces. While the Red Ranger handles Moltor, the other Rangers take on the Lava Lizards.
Red Ranger beats Moltor, allowing him and the others time to escape via the S.H.A.R.C. With Moltor unleashing his Giant Sea Creature on Rotuma Island, the Rangers take to their DriveMax Zords and head back to fight the beast.
The Rangers form the DriveMax Megazord, and seem to destroy the beast with the sword.  But Moltor re-powers him via the shield on it's chest, and even worst, it's about to explode. They then use the claw feet of the Megazord to throw the monster out of range.  The monster explodes without any damage to the Rangers, their Zords or anyone else.
Moltor and Flurious meet once more, but this time fight it out for the Crown.  When the match ends in a stalemate, but decided that it's every man for himself. Back at the base, Mack give the Tracker back to his dad.  But Mr. Hartford has learned that it's time to let Mack live his own life, and so he allows him to be the Red Ranger.  Mack is given his Genetic Super Strength and the team is complete.  But Mr. Hartford explains that now it's time to get to work, it's Operation Overdrive!

Linear Ranger's Thoughts

A really good follow up to Part I.  I love how this team works together and relies on everyone's strengths.  The talk between Mack and Spencer was really good.  I love all the Ranger's excitement and reactions to their Zords, and their mission.  Having two forces of villains, but neither of them willing to work with the other should prove quite interesting as the season plays out.  I love the S.H.A.R.C and Ronny piloting it.  The Zord sequence was a tad bit one sided, but I'm sure we'll see equal time for the other Ranger's Zords in future episodes.
