Bicycle Built for the Blues is the eighth episode of Power Rangers Turbo.
Synopsis[]
Justin is given a bike for his birthday by Divatox, which has a detonator in it while the other Rangers battle Big Burpa.
Plot[]
In the garage, Tommy, Adam, Kat and Tanya are setting up a party for Justin's birthday. Bulk and Skull are present in their monkey forms. Justin turns up early when he was supposed to be at practice, hoping for a phone call from his dad, and Tommy quickly gets rid of him, saying there's too many fumes in the garage at the moment. Outside, Justin finds a bicycle with a large blue bow on it and a card addressed to him. He is observed by a new monster, Big Burpa.
Observing events, Divatox checks with Porto that Big Burpa can work her magic on Justin. Justin assumes the bike is from his dad and the others have forgotten his birthday. He climbs onto it and notices a mile counter that is already set to 25. Big Burpa then appears on another bike and enchants Justin's bicycle, which begins moving by itself, scattering construction workers. The mile counter starts going down.
Lieutenant Stone realizes he has left some of the balloons at the Juice Bar and leaves the garage. Alpha and Dimitria observe Justin's chaotic riding. Alpha manages to contact Justin, who explains he can't stop the bike or get off it. He then contacts the other Rangers, who teleport to the Power Chamber. Bulk and Skull are left alone at the party, which they soon wreck.
Divatox explains to Elgar, Rygog and Porto that the bike will explode when the counter reaches zero. Watching Big Burpa causing chaos on the screen, Tommy morphs and chases her on his Turbo Cart but she evades him by going through a small gap. Since they haven't been able to locate Justin, the other Rangers also morph to join the chase but Big Burpa evades them too.
Adam, Kat and Tanya teleport to Justin's location unmorphed, just as he realizes that the counter, which is now down to two, means the bike is a detonator. He tries to dump it in a lake but it just drives across the water and he is still unable to get off it. Tommy teleports in and chases the bike in the Red Lightning Zord. He draws up alongside Justin and then jumps, knocking him off the bike. The bike carries on and explode.
Big Burba appears and Justin and the other Rangers morph, with Justin personally giving Big Burpa a beating. Divatox gives the order to fire torpedoes and grow her to giant size. The Rangers summon the Turbozords and form the Turbo Megazord. Tanya invites Justin to take the lead, beating Big Burpa with kicks and weapons, before Tommy summons the Turbo Megazord Saber. The Megazord destroys Big Burpa with a spinout.
Stone arrives back at the garage to discover the mess Bulk and Skull have made. Shortly after, Tommy, Kat, Adam and Tanya bring Justin to the garage, where he is surprised by Stone and several others. Bulk even gives him one of Skull's bananas. Although pleased that his friends remembered his birthday after all, Justin is disappointed that his dad isn't there. Adam and Kat prompt Justin's dad to come downstairs. Delighted, Justin declares it the best birthday ever.
Divatox observes events with distaste as Elgar goofs around in an annoyed Rygog's armor. Porto and Elgar try to convince Divatox to let them celebrate their birthdays but Divatox laments that no-one ever celebrated hers and is far from consoled by Elgar declaring himself her family.

Zords[]
Errors[]
- Someone can be seen pushing Bulk while he's swinging from the ceiling.
Blue Racer's cameo.
- The Rangers (except for Justin) are stood in different positions in the shot of Big Burpa being hit by the torpedoes.
- When the four Turbo Rangers see the footage of Big Burpa rampaging in the city, Justin's Sentai counterpart, Naoki Domon can be clearly seen in the crowd.
- Also, the people in it were very clearly Japanese and the buildings were Japanese in design.
- Right before the bike explodes the stunt actor is seen through Tommy’s visor, and again after the others morph.
- Also after morphing it’s cloudy when earlier it was sunny but in the next scene it’s sunny again.
Notes[]
- First appearance of Doug Stewart. The next episode he appears in is "The Gardener of Evil".
- This episode marks the only appearance in the series (and the final overall) of a Turbozord in its car-sized mode.
- Ed Neil makes a cameo in this episode as the construction worker that Burpa kicked over.
- When Tommy shouts “I’m on my way!” the line is clearly recycled from Season 3’s “The Potion Notion” while piloting the Falconzord.
