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

Dax is showing off his master pool skills to Will. Ronny scares the two of them with one of her Halloween costumes.  She's preparing for the Halloween party, but Will's not that into the spooky spirit. 
Andrew calls the Rangers to the Command Center, where he shows them a hidden compartment in the Centurion Torch. Inside is a Golden Scabbard Beetle.  It has a strong jewel signature.  Mr. Hartford tells them he'll send it to the lab for analysis, but for them to stay close.  The new fleet of Zords is almost ready.
Meanwhile, Moltor tests out his new Dino Robot.  However, the power of the Gyro inside of it is not enough to power the robot. The Fear Cats, who are working along with Moltor for now, hatch a plan to get the power needed.
At the Ice Cave, Norg is preparing for the Trick Or Treaters.  But when Flurious learns of someone using his Gyro Technology, they head out for find the Fear Cats. Back at the mansion, everyone is helping decorate for the Halloween Party.  Well, everyone except Will who still thinks Halloween is for kids.
When the Fear Cats shows up and start attacking Saint Angeles, all six Rangers and the Sentinel Knight arrive. Moltor shows up and all three of them fire on the heroes.
The Fear Cats quickly target the Yellow Ranger. The Black Ranger is about to attack with Excelsior, but Moltor captures him.  The three evil villains then escape with their prisoners.
Ronny & Will are tied to a tree in the forest. Moltor places the sword in a containment field.  While the Sentinel Knight is too powerful to drain, he can be converted to evil.
After using his Genetically Enhanced hearing, Will learns that Ronny was the only one meant to be captured, and Moltor plans to destroy Will.  The Black Ranger then starts breaking the containment device. Mr. Hartford explains to the others that he's using the satellites to try and find Will & Ronny.  In the meantime, he orders the team to Egypt to research the Golden Scabbard Beetle.  He explains that Will & Ronny are fully trained and will find a out to escape.
The two Rangers escape.  After being clear of the villains, Will finally explains to Ronny that he wasn't part of the plan and they plan to destroy him. The Fear Cats catch up quick.  Ronny tries to fight them off, allowing Will a chance to escape, but she ends up captured once again.
Will contact Andrew and updates him on the situation.  When Andrew orders Will back to the base, Will disobeys and says he's got to save Ronny. Making his way through the forest, Will runs into Flurious and his Chillers.  The Black Ranger takes care of the henchmen with the Hovertek Cycle, but Flurious escapes.
The Fear Cats attach Ronny to the Energy Egg and device.  It begins to drain her energy, and also convert Sentinel Knight to evil.  As Will continues through the forest, he finds Norg.  Finding the Yeti useless, Will tells Norg to sit, and the Ranger continues on his quest.
The others have made it to Egypt and seek out a relic dealer to help them with the Golden Scabbard Beetle. With the first batch of energy drained, Moltor sends it to his robot and leaves.  The Sentinel Knight then Morphs battle to his Knight Mode and tries to save Ronny, but the conversion finally sets in and he becomes evil.
The relic dealer informs the Rangers about the Secan Beetle and where they are rumored to be found.  However, the Rangers are called into action.  As they leave, they don't notice a familiar evil face who had been spying on them. The Rangers summon the DriveMax Ultrazord & Flash Point Megazord to battle the Dino Robot & the giant evil Sentinel Knight.
The Mercury Ranger takes on the Sentinel Knight, but the Flash Point is taken down with an attack of the giant Sentinel Sword. The Ultrazord manages to take care of the Lavadactyls the Dino Robot unleashed, but it is not powerful enough to take on the robot itself.
The Battlefleet is sent into action.  It takes care of more Lavadactyls and is ready for the Dino Robot, but when Moltor runs out of power, he retreats. Meanwhile, the Energy Egg & device continue to drain Ronny's life force, as the Sentinel Knight stands guard.

Linear Ranger's Thoughts

A pretty good episode.  It's good that the Artifacts keep leading to more discoveries and mysteries.  I would have preferred Mr. Hartford to have least sent Tyzonn in to help find Ronny & Will.  Another nice touch with sending the Rangers to another new location on Earth.  The Fear Cats clearly targeted Ronny, since they knew her strength from when they captured her the first time.  A nice introduction, or teaser introduction, for the Battlefleet Megazord.  I must commend the writing staff for finally giving us an episode with Halloween in it.  That has not occurred since 1994.  A good episode, and hopefully Part II will be even better.
