Episode 42
Air Date: November 17th, 1997

Well, this won't be the only time Ashley and Cassie get into it.  While next season it will be about cleaning duties, here, it's about a guy; as they both try to compete for his affections.  And I got to admit, Bobby is a cutie!!! <3<3<3  This is the first genuinely comedic episode is a long while for the franchise that the only one I can honestly remember is WAAAAAYYYY back in Season 2 with "Best Man For The Job".  But I like it that it's not two rangers under a spell but two typical teenage girls just wanting to be taken to the dance by a really attractive hunk from school.  Of course, they use their skills and specific talents to get his attention.  Cassie, of course, uses her music to try to woo him as well as making Ashley look bad in baseball.  To which Ashley returns the favor by making her run into a puddle of water. LOL

Ashley, of course, is the most aggressive of the two when competing for Bobby by bad mouthing Cassie behind her back and even using her recently acquired knowledge of auto repair when she helps fix Bobby's car in a excellent moment of continuity. Then there's her trying to get the name of the girl he's interested in from his little sister. She teaches him to dance but gets interrupted by her rangers duties just like Cassie did earlier when she tried to ask who Bobby was taking to the dance.  Whomp Whomp WHOOOMMMMPPP!!!

Meanwhile, Divatox sends Porto with her latest Sharkzord to defeat the rangers in battle.  The Sharkzoord of course is cool and manages to give the rangers a tough fight into the Blue Senturion gets there with Robo Racer.  Seriously, my thoughts on Blue Senturion are soooo mxied; randomly coming back every few episodes for no reason but to help the rangers out in battle.  Why was he introduced again??? -_-  Anyway, the rangers and Blue Senturion manage to work together to force Porto out of the zord; defeating him.  But who cares when Bobby FINALLY makes a move on the girl he wants to ask out for dance....and its...its.....some chick named Heather,,,,B!TCH!!! O_o It's okay ladies, at least Justin will take you girls to the dance.  What a priceless resolution to a funny episode!!! lol

Final Morph: B+
