Olympius Unbound

Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, Episode 33

Original Airdate: 11-10-2000

Last Time: Olympius tried to kill the Rangers, and Diabolico managed to trap him in hell. Ryan found an ancient sorceror, and Diabolico turned him into dust. It was good day for the big D.

Olympius is still in hell, and finds the gatekeeper, who informs him that they're both trapped there forever. Jinxer sends a message that Olympius can escape if he kills all of the monsters there and takes their power. Credits!

Dana has taken Captain Mitchell to the amusement park for some relaxation. They quickly find a circus hypnotist named Mister Mesmer, who looks strikingly like Jinxer in disguise. It is, in fact, Jinxer in disguise. He pretends to fail to hypnotize Captain Mitchell while slipping him some sort of star medallion.

Later, Olympius murders some undead monsters to steal their souls, and thus their power. He eventually gets enough and escapes back to Mariner Bay. Jinxer reveals that he's got a plan to give Olympius even more power. This involves using Captain Mitchell to redirect all of the aquabase's power towards the star medallion, and thus, to Olympius.

As Captain Mitchell keeps repeating "I must obey," Dana's able to figure out that someone is tampering with his mind. Good call. The Rangers locate Olympius in the a cemetery and commence to fighting. It does not go well for the Rangers. Back on the aquabase, Ms. Fairweather is trying to get through to Captain Mitchell and restore power to the aquabase.

Olympius grows to giant-size to speed this along. The Rangers start running through their megazords in an attempt to stop him. Max Solarzord: Failure! Lightspeed Megazord: Double Failure! Supertrain: Superfailure! Carter decides to stretch the episode even further by using the Omega Crawler as the other Rangers form the Lightspeed Solarzord.

In the aquabase, Ms. Fairweather and some redshirt finally reach Captain Mitchell, who promptly kicks all of their asses. Ms. Fairweather then grabs an axe that is hanging the engine room for Luddite emergencies, and stops the flow of energy to Olympius. This prove unfortunate as the Rangers take the opportunity to send Olympius back to hell....as a dead monster. Captain Mitchell goes back to normal, and that'll about do it.

Later, Jinxer finds Olympius barely alive in some wreckage. Great. The Rangers then decide to head to the beach, but Captain Mitchell wants them to train instead, so Joel tries to hypnotize him. Captain Mitchell doesn't go for that bullshit and punishes Joel to double-punishment. Show Over!

Next Time: The Rangers meet Neptune....the god. Oh, it's a Chad episode, all right.
