"Five of A Kind"
Episode 34
Air Date: November 5th, 1998

In what could possibly be the best entry in the Psycho Rangers Saga, this episode highlights not only how great T.J. is as a strategist but how well the Space Rangers work as a team! :) After once again failing to realize the Psychos are draining his powers do to Astronema (Seriously Dark Specter, the traitor's right in front of you!!! -_-), the rangers are busy to trying to figure out their next move when T.J. realizes that since the Psycho drained the knowledge of their counterparts, the only way they can beat them if the rangers themselves switch opponents.  As the Psychos attack Angel Grove Plaza, the rangers arrive to intercept them as T.J. reminds them of their plan and it actually starts to work until the Psychos realize what the rangers are up to and switch back to fighting their counterparts.  I love how Zhane just arrives and keeps talking while HIS FRIENDS ARE GETTING THEIR ASSES COLLECTIVELY KICKED!!! -_-  Anyway, after T.J. gets seriously injured, Zhange comes in to save him but gets his ass beat by Psycho Blue. During the fight, Dark Specter contacts Astronema about his powers being drained again and she order Ecliptor to call back the Psycho Rangers.  After the brutal battle, T.J. wakes up in the Megaship's infirmary to his friends by his side.  As the Psychos are pissed about Astronema calling them back again, she plans to send them out immediately to haul all suspicion of her plan.

As Cassie visits T.J., she finds he has left his bed and it rewatching their last fight with the Psychos.  As they watch it together, since T.J. refuses to get any rest, he discovers a new plan after the color is lost during the footage.  He gets an idea to have all the rangers suit up as the Blue Ranger to confused the Psychos as they won't know who to fight.  As the Psychos attack again, T.J. arrives to the Psycho Blue's amusement, but soon he is aided by the arrival of the other rangers; all dressed up as the Blue Space Ranger.  With the Psychos already confused, Psycho Blue leads to charge as he goes through each of them one by one to find the true Blue Ranger.  But when Psycho Red and Black join the fight, they make things worse by not being able to tell who is who.  Very awesome and clever!!! :) Psycho Yellow just leaves, as she'll go after the Yellow Ranger when the dust has cleared during the fight.  Suddenly when T.J. gets the upper hand on the Psycho, a lightning storm comes out of no where to attack everyone.

Another Psycho Ranger arrives aka Psycho Silver! Uhhh Ohh and demands he destroys the rangers himself to the other Psychos annoyance. As he fights them, Psycho Blue gets pissed and attacks his fellow Psychos who just leave him to be destroyed because his arrogance.  As Psycho Blue fights Psycho Silver, the rangers soon reveal it was all apart of their plan to defeat Psycho Blue as Psycho Silver is Zhane in disguise. Awwww man, Psycho Silver was a badass though!  As Zhane morphs and joins them, he and T.J. destroy Psycho Blue together but Astronema soon makes him grow.  They call on the Mega Voyager and Mega Winger to join forces to destroy him but it's once again not easy with the rangers having to use other functions of their megazord; like turning up heat literally to give them more power to destroy him.  But their combined strength eventually works and Psycho Blue is taken down for good.....well......;)  With another Psycho destroyed, Astronema quickly works on her next plan as the remaining three Psychos confront her. Meanwhile, the Space Rangers prepare for their final showdown with the remaining Psycho Rangers as Andros begins to question if he'll ever get his sister back. Nice touch with the continuity and bringing back the emotional weight of the leader's situation. All and All, a superb follow-up to last episode and could be the peak of the Psycho Saga so far! :)

Final Morph: A+
