Big Sisters is the seventh episode of the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. This episode marks the first appearance of the RadBug.

Synopsis[]

In her ongoing efforts to destroy the Rangers, Rita Repulsa seeks to gain the Legendary Power Eggs. The only way to gain access to them is through the touch of an innocent child. Fortunately for her and unfortunately for the Rangers, Kimberly and Trini have volunteered to be big sisters to the mischievous Maria. Rita sends her monster Chunky Chicken to capture the girl. Now the Power Rangers must find a way to rescue Maria before it is too late.

Plot[]

Kimberly and Trini are volunteering as big sisters for a twelve year old girl named Maria. Meanwhile, Rita Repulsa plans to use the Legendary Power Eggs to gain enough power to defeat the Power Rangers, but only the touch of an innocent child like Maria can open the chest containing the Power Eggs.

Finster creates a monster called the Chunky Chicken and sends the Putty Patrollers to kidnap Maria. Kimberly and Trini rush to find the other Rangers, Jason, Zack, and Billy, who then use the RadBug to go to the Command Center (since teleportation and communication is down).

After learning of Rita's plot, the Rangers use the RadBug to attack Goldar and Chunky Chicken, taking the Power Eggs back and throwing them into the sea during the ensuing battle. Rita takes Maria hostage and promises to let her go when the Rangers give her the eggs. Although complaint, she still cuts the rope that Maria is dangling from, but luckily, Maria is caught by the Megazord and taken away to safety by a remote-controlled Rad Bug. The Rangers then proceed to destroy the Chunky Chicken, and peace is restored to Angel Grove.

Cast[]

Errors[]

  • After Chunky Chicken cuts the rope, a quick close up shot of Maria falling is not Maria but is Emiko in similar clothing.
  • The RadBug is supposed to be remote-controlled by the Megazord, but when Maria climbs off the Megazord's hand and into the car, a person can be seen driving it.
  • The then unintroduced Green Ranger's symbol is seen instead of the Red Ranger's.

Notes[]

MMPR EP7 vs Zyuranger EP10 Edit
  • When Chunky Chicken came out of the Monster-Matic, an off-key rock version of "Old McDonald" plays.
  • This is the first episode to use the prefix "we need Dinozord power." Every episode prior to this used a different call and the last episode did not feature any of the Zords.
  • This is also the first episode where "It's Morphin' Time!" is used by itself as a morphing call and not as part of a quote that is followed by the morphing sequence.
  • This is the first appearance of the Morphin Masters.
  • This episode maintained the original plot line of its Zyuranger counterpart.
  • Chunky Chicken keeps gaining and losing his hat because there are two different versions of the same monster spliced together into one episode.
  • The ending scene of this episode (in which Kimberly accidentally dumps chili over Bulk) was originally from the second filmed version of "Day of the Dumpster".
  • At one point, Zack refers to himself as a "detective". This might be a reference that his original Bioman counterpart was supposed to be a detective.
