Synopsis

Elsa uses a device to invade the Rangers's dreams in an attempt to destroy them there, hoping to keep them from ever waking up. Do the Power Rangers have what it takes to conquer their nightmares?

Plot

Anton has nightmares about being Mesogog and all of the evil deeds he has done. Waking up, he swears that he must put an end to this. Mesogog is also troubled by Anton's existence, which is draining him. This gives Elsa an idea to attack the Rangers in their dreams.

At the Cyberspace Cafe, the Rangers are exhausted from doing homework, but Tommy convinces them to go home and get some rest. Trent decides to stay and work longer. Elsa monitors the Rangers as they sleep and causes what they dream about to turn into a monster. Tommy faces off against the Squidrose, created from the calamari Tommy had for dinner. The Black Ranger takes down Squidrose just in time for Conner, Ethan and Kira to show up. They form the Thundersaurus Megazord and destroy the monster.

After doing a report on reptiles, Kira dreams of Croco D'Vile, who thinks he's in love with her. Conner and Ethan show up and help her get rid of him. Ethan dreams about Rumba Monkey; created from the picture by his bed. The Blue Ranger applauds the Rumba Monkey's attempt at defeating his friends. Four of the Power Rangers unite and form the Z-Rex Blaster to destroy the Rumba Monkey. After growing from the Hydro Regenerator, Rumba Monkey is taken down by the Thundersaurus Megazord.

The sleeping Rangers are taken down in Conner's dream. After being asked by his mother to do early Christmas shopping, Conner dreams about Rude Elf. When Tommy, Ethan, and Kira wake up, they figure out what's going on and lend Conner power from their Dino Gems. Conner uses this power in his dream to become the Triassic Ranger. Conner takes on Rude Elf in his special Christmas Triassic Dimension. The Rangers form the Mezodon Megazord to take on a giant Rude Elf, but they are captured in his bag of gifts. Tommy summons the Brachiozord to stop him, and fires an energy orb from his Brachio Staff, releasing the other Rangers.

The other Rangers form the Triceramax Megazord to destroy the Rude Elf once and for all. Mesogog is not happy with Elsa's failure, and tells her, "Welcome to your nightmare!" The Rangers take it easy after a long night of dreaming, and Trent finally gets some sleep on the couch of the Cyberspace Cafe.

Errors

• Somehow Croco D'Vile didn't explode when Conner & Ethan, the Dino Rangers destroy him, This is because in Abaranger, Croco D'Vile's counterpart survived the attack and retreated to further his plans to get Ranru (Kira's counterpart) to fall in love with him.

Notes

• This episode's plot loosely resembles "Crystal of Nightmares" from MMPR season 1.
• This episode's basic story structure is a clear homage to the Season 1 episode "A Star is Born" in that it takes several monsters they didn't have enough usable footage of to make a full episode and amass them together in a creative way.
  • Squidrose spent most of his screentime kidnapping Japanese brides which is why he looks like a wedding dress.
  • Rumba Monkey spent much of his time turning Japanese people into Christmas ornaments.
  • Croco D'vile spent most of his time stalking unmorphed Abare Yellow.
  • Rude Elf posed as Santa for most of his screentime handing out presents to Japanese kids.
• Trent doesn't morph in any of their dreams and is also the only one not to be affected by the nighmarish plagues in the episode.
• Kira says the line: "Okay, look, whatever you do, don't fall asleep" which could be a reference to the horror franchise A Nightmare On Elm Street.
• This marks the final appearance of the Triceramax Megazord.
• This is one of the few times to show a monster fall in love with a Ranger, in a dream or in reality.
• None of the Rangers morph in this episode. This, "Day of the Dino-part I" and "Lost and Found in Translation" are the only episodes in this season where none of the Rangers appear morphed.
  • However, here, they sort of do, but only in their dreams and even then the morph sequence isn't used and they just appear morphed in their dreams.
