From Deep in the Shadows is the eleventh episode of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. It features the debut of Ryan Mitchell, the Titanium Ranger and Captain Mitchell's son; and the Main 5 Lightspeed Rangers' V-Lancers.

Synopsis[]

Lightspeed's experimental Titanium Morpher is stolen, and Diabolico unleashes the evil Titanium Ranger. The Rangers are able to defeat him with their new V-Lancers, but are unable to destroy him when Captain Mitchell orders them not to. When Carter asked them why, Mitchell revealed that the Titanium Ranger is his son.

Plot[]

Joel is late to see a new test of the brand-new Titanium Ranger powers, with Carter testing out the Titanium Morpher. He arrives just before Carter starts the morph, but when the latter morphs, he’s given painful shocks as the Titanium Ranger suit fluctuates in and out. Eventually, the pain becomes too much for Carter to bare and he collapses. Everybody checks on him, but he reassures them that he’s fine.

In Captian Mitchell’s office, Ms. Fairweather deems the Titanium Ranger powers too risky for use as its circuitry is too strong for a normal human, and has him put the Morpher into his safe. After Fairweather leaves, Dana comes into the office with a birthday cake - today is the birthday of Ryan, Dana’s older brother and Captain Mitchell’s son, who would have been 20 years old today. After blowing out the candles, she admits that her wish was that the car crash from years ago that took Ryan’s life never happened, while Mitchell wishes that no matter what happens, he wants Dana to know how much he loves her.

Later that night, a mysterious person enters the Aquabase through scuba diving and sneaks into Captain Mitchell’s office. Finding the safe, the person takes the Titanium Morpher along with the family photo of the Mitchell family.

The next day, Vypra and a squad of Batlings attack Mariner Bay, and the Rangers are called in to attack them. Finding Vypra in a warehouse, the morphed Rangers blast the Battlings before taking them on. Then, Vypra reveals the moment she was waiting for to have the Rangers meet their match as a portal opens above her and, to the Rangers shock, the Titanium Ranger exits out. Everybody is confused as they thought the Morpher was in the safe and nobody had access to it, but Captain Mitchell discovers it missing. The Titanium Ranger takes on the Rangers, easily knocking them down with his Titanium Laser and his superior fighting skills. The Rangers are forced to call the Rescue Bird in Unilaser Mode and fire at the Titanium Ranger, but he redirects the blast with his Titanium Axe. Before he can destroy the Rangers, Captain Mitchell orders Carter and the Rangers to pull out. However, the Titanium Ranger says he will not stop until the Rangers are destroyed. Then, Diabolico congratulates him for his victory.

Back at the Aquabase, the Rangers are shocked to learn that the Titanium Morpher was stolen from the inside - although Kelsey thinks somebody from Lightspeed did it, Joel doubts that. Captain Mitchell tells them no matter the circumstance, Diabolico has the Titanium Morpher, and it's their job to get it back, something Ms. Fairweather knows won't be easy.

In the Demon World, the demons know that no matter what, they’ll come out victorious, and Diabolico tells the Titanium Ranger to use his powers to take back their homeland.

The Rangers scout around for the possibility of the Titanium Ranger being sighted, but Chad finds a sphere heading for downtown. The Titanium Ranger begins his attack, and the Rangers confront the evil Ranger, even though they don’t want to hurt him. They morph and fight him, but are still unmatched by him. At the Aquabase, Ms. Fairweather is finishing the new V-Lancers which she teleports to the Rangers despite not having them tested out first. With the new weapons, the Rangers manage to be evenly matched with the Titanium Ranger, and Ms. Fairweather tells them to go to Blaster Mode. The Rangers manage to blast the Titanium Ranger with a Spectra Blast. While it doesn’t destroy the Titanium Ranger, the blast weakens him and reveals his eyes, which Captain Mitchell recognizes. The Rangers decide to try again, but before their fatal second blast, Captain Mitchell begs them to cease fire and return to base, shocking them. Reluctantly, they leave, even though the weakened Titanium Ranger calls them out.

Back at the Aquabase, the Male Rangers and Kelsey are furious at Captain Mitchell for forcing all of them to retreat when they had their only chance to kill the Titanium Ranger as now that he knows that they have the V-Lancers, he'll be more powerful than the new weapons the next time they fight. When Carter asks Captain Mitchell why he stopped them, he reveals that the Titanium Ranger is his son, Ryan, shocking the Rangers, including Dana.

It's not really explained why Ryan could use the Titanium powers safely.
This is also the first episode to have a Silver Ranger since Power Rangers in Space's "Countdown to Destruction".
This is the first time that an evil 6th Ranger appears since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' Green Ranger.
This marks the first appearance of Diabolico in original footage.
With the exception of the blasting at Ryan, no Sentai footage is used.
