Double Ranger, Double Danger is the eighth episode, [1] of Power Rangers Dino Charge. This is the beginning of the four-episode story arc which sets up the Ptera Charger.
Synopsis[]
When clone Rangers steal the real Rangers' irreplaceable tracking device, Fury learns the location of the powerful Ptera Zord.
Plot[]
Sledge assigns Poisandra a mission to steal the e-tracer, much to Fury's jealousy and she picks a monster from the ship's cells to help her.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are using the E-Scanner to help them search for the Gold Energem and Ptera Zord, Kendall having already created a Dino Charger for it. Tyler reminisces on his missing father, noting the bracelet he inherited. Suddenly Kendall warns that aliens are approaching the site. Tyler gets the tracer to safety while the others remain behind to hold off the threat. A moment later, they appear at the jeep, already morphed. They start driving away, but the jeep appears to have been sabotaged and even stranger, Shelby calls Tyler on his communicator to ask why he left them behind. It turns out the Rangers are actually clones, created by Poisandra's chosen monster. Tyler is overpowered and the villains make off with the tracer.
The other Rangers return to base and start scanning for alien D.N.A. They soon find it and head out to recover the tracer. Meanwhile, Tyler wakes up and morphs, intending to catch up to the others.
The Rangers run into the clones and are forced to fight them. Fortunately Chase discreetly tucked a flower into each of their belts, allowing him to tell them apart from the clones and the rangers are able to win. The monster is still powerful though, and the rangers figure they need the Dino Spike to finish it. However, they can't form it without Tyler.
Meanwhile, Tyler encounters Fury and the two fight. Fury recognizes Tyler's bracelet, indicating that he met his father before. Tyler immediately gains their upper hand, demanding that Fury tell him what happened to his father. Just as Fury is about to spill the beans, Tyler is distracted by Chase calling him for help. Fury overpowers Tyler and prepares to deliver the final blow. That is, until he's stopped by a mysterious gold energy trying to burst out of his chest. He screams that he's in control, the energy seems to retreat back inside. Despite having a clear shot, Tyler chooses to leave in order to help the others.
He arrives on the scene and they use the Dino Spike to destroy the monster. They round on Poisandra while she tries to use the E-Scanner to locate the Gold Energem, but Sledge distracts them by making the monster grow.
The Rangers fight it off with the Megazord and go after Poisandra again.
However, Fury gets to her first and steals the scanner, planning to use it to gain Sledge's approval. With no other choice, Tyler orders Chase to fire on Fury, destroying the E-scanner, despite Shelby earlier warning them that it was irreplaceable. The scanner is destroyed, but the Pterazord's Dino Charger survives the blast. Fury recovers it, vowing to use it to control the Pterazord.
The Rangers return to the base dejected, though Kendall tells them that Fury won't be able to power the Charger without the Energem. The Rangers also take comfort in their teamwork and Shelby reveals that she even recovers Tyler's bracelet after he lost it in the fight.

- Chase said that he put flowers in the Rangers' belts but that was never shown nor could Chase have had enough time off-camera to plant the flowers.

- During the ending scene, Shelby, Tyler, and Koda had their fists horizontally. In the next camera shot, they appeared vertically.
